A room's whites cry loud
Still sound fills it with endless echo
No thought, no audible breath, no
Perspective
This view too is
Outside perceivable depth
Only a snowy canvas
Full of emptiness to reveal
The plan
Grab a roller
Pour the can, and
Paint myself eggshell
Now I am the blank slate

When the words were intense
and the soul no longer
conceded to comfort
Thoughts got blind
and the heart beats in tension
Silence
*****
Absent are ardent
words
an inability to fill gaps
meanings suspended
seasons slowly stretching
Silence
*****
A thin veil
hiding behind
a thick weight
suppressing many a
sound
Silence
*****
Deeply delving into a void
seeking the significance
of a still word
trying to explain an unexplained
world
Silence
*****
Observing, absorbing
the aura of silence
touching its vibrant
presence
perceivable, palpable
Silence
*****
Pausing in peace
treasuring tranquillity
allowing the soul
to such a state admire
sinking in a serene space
Silence

If a half-baked idea hits you
And knocks you as hard as
A lightning bolt,
That it feels like a megavolt,
Sit and for a while ponder,
And in amazement and awe,
You’ll discover intense wonder.
May angels surround and protect
You from harm
May they
Roam in your life and
Fly in your every dream,
He has sent them, for you
And rank high in His esteem.
A celestial hug they might
Give you to dry up any tears,
And chase away nightmares,
Or any other earthly fears.
The love with which they encompass
Is a feeling that could
Last for years,
So spread this feeling of tender love,
That you have received,
Which cannot measure
Up to any treasure,
And will give perceivable pleasure,
No doubt you were chosen
Isn’t that just wonderful,
Wake up don’t act as if frozen,
You are a master-piece He has woven,
With great joy,
He is so busy, He sends angels as envoys,
They arrive on earth in convoys,
They are commissioned to deliver
All of the above,
Overwhelming, maybe,
Have you not felt their presence before,
In your every pore?

The scariest confrontation
perceivable enough
not a ghost, not a specter
but the one perched up, upfront
I see it.
The dark corners of that dark past
The shadowed figure that looked much alike
Holding back tears of guilt, remorse,
of self pity, the anger unleashed.
The face masked upon by a calm nod
above and beyond that fury beneath.
I stare into the eyes.
I see it.
The invisible clutches tugging on
The brawny desire to step out
of that glassy barrier
to step out, to be free
to be considered something besides
itself.
From the house of the dead
to be called something besides
the 'Reflection.'

In a white living room I was
surrounded
by rivers of affection
streams red with a foreign kind of
love
they entangled and paired
and connections were
perceivable
among gazes and words
dressed
in silver and pink I was there
and yet
somehow omitted as friends are
sometimes
when the blood-related gather
I was counting the words like
lazy raindrops
or sheep when I fall asleep getting
lost in the numbers I stopped
while
a few shy words stumbled out
of my mouth
awkwardly positioned I smiled a few
times
and found my space in the corner of
a couch
while the lilies of affection kept booming

Dusk precipitates the dawn of another day
Time creates ever changing modes of nature
Inhabitants settle down for restoration
It calms the soul for new inspiration.
I too must rest and recuperate at the day’s end
Contemplating if nature will be generous
Images of true beauty flash within my mind
Slowly I drift off in somnolence, before tomorrow.
Shadows embark upon the trees and banks
Some shadows dance upon the ripples of the water
Flickering and glistening images blanket the pond.
Generating winds give rise for the night owls.
All is quiet early morn before the new horizon
Some light is perceived in the distance corner
Rays of sun light squeeze through the clouds
Dawn of nature is to awaken again.
What shall this day bring forth for pleasure?
Morning arrives with distant sounds of birds
Perceivable, one can establish some visions
Configurations and illustrations of beauty
Such glorified colors contribute to awe
Justifying the sensation of serenity and solace
Solidarity of the still environment about
Conjures the wonders of life’s force
Sleep well…..before tomorrow

Evanescent parlays
of paradoxical exposure
expecting perceivable combustion,
hindsight still plays unavoidable heady games
aftermath perception lives up to mean arithmetic
Specificity of angular slants contrasting circles'
spatial commitment to conformity's configurations - -
square pegs will never fit societal a$$holes

I work for things deemed sensible
and avoid the junk dispensable
while seeking what's appreciable
to learn just what's achievable
while backwards reprehensible
where everything's disposable
and all that's left that's savable
is garbage that's recyclable
So say a prayer that's plausible
and hold mankind accountable
to keep your faith believable
that there's a God perceivable

S.O.S
Mayday my heart was just shot
down crashing un perceivable into
the ground concealed without sound
my call for help keeping my pain
stealth relinquished in my chest
S.O.S the international distress
signal for help someone hear my
plea mayday someone please come
rescue me my hearts abandoned so
imperishably switching channels so
despitely the memories and pain is
more than my mind can handle pierces
my hearts crust deep into the mantle
straight through the inner core my
hearts falling impalpable deep into
the ocean floor as my boundless cries
of pain engulfs my plane replacing
my confessions of everything if pain
is love than this must a blessing

Dad said Willy Munn had jumped the gun
and he raised his fists to everyone
then he shot off his mouth...
so I went to his house
no perceivable damage was done!
But he saw my nose pressed to the pane
so I ran away back down the lane
but he came to our door
and he yelled and he roared
and my parents swore I could explain!
So I faced him while filled with pure dread
and I told him all my dad had said
and nobody looked pleased
not a soul was appeased...
Were they sad that no hole aired Will's head?
And as second thoughts came I declared
how I thought Willy Munn had been spared
'cause his face was a mess
even when at it's best
from the punches when tempers were flared.
When I looked at the three I just knew
that my days spent in listening were through
and I thought I should shoot
that small place where my boot
was now lodged there with yesterday's shoe.
I remembered a little to late
'bout the last time that dad set me straight
"an idiom's not real
the true idea's concealed
I don't always mean all that I state!"

Drops of dew that melt into the sea
are hard to see.
They float, they sink or evaporate,
they die.
Where is the tree that promised
these dewdrops a life?
He sank into the earth.
Disappearences, laughter, confusion,
creeping like a spider with ten thousand legs,
each leg penetrating your skin
with its pin-drop sadness.
Your soul is vapor.
It absorbs into your bloodstream
and is no longer perceivable.
Fragments of unwanted interruption,
they stir your deepest emotion,
making them undesirable.
Where is the ground?
It is in the air you breathe.
