the mirror split
within the look
of sight
the aptest
share was near
snags come from
prognosticated
I see it strew
like ice melting
yet it was vivid
& heart
was sobbing
from my
caught
metacarpus
where I drove
the staring
fragment i
turned it to
attempt & stop
the red
drippings

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Inclosed by a ferocious fortune for eternity
Naught with naught, can't do anything
Escaping means dying
Vicious prognosticated destiny
Inseparable with the prophecy
Trust is the only weapon
Against the foreshadowed storm
Body had been marked
Languidly lurks in the dark
Enticed with concealing the stark
Fallacy of the fate is desperately needed
Although the kismet has been stated
Take it and fight with it 'till the end
Enraging predetermined events will amend.

Let's say we have capitulated
yes, let's say we have succumbed
to their whimsical naivété and inane wisdom
Let us assume that it is all phoney
that it is a bogus hoax-filled folklore
We shall now pretend that we have been beguiled by such marvelous
exercise of ludicrous folly
Such bombardment of contorted philosophy
But in our gullibility we shall yet ask
in sheepish inquisition and meek certainty
if this course so pitiably slandered be nothing but deceit,
why then does it stand conspicuously so therapeutic?
why has it made men
who traversed through the impossible vortex of
reality's odd challenges?
why has it given Invigoration with hope
the haggard Destitute?
Why has it restored green to those fallen human twigs
Why has it steadied nerves and halted addictions?
Why has it healed the sick and made disappear tumults?
Why has it prognosticated that which we now perceive
Does nothingness do that
Does nothingness tender an insight so revealing,
So infinite.
Does nothingness and baseless belief
deliver from the vague labyrinth of man's ordination
if these be true
Who then doubt's the veracity
Why then disprove religion

Forces
Repressive chains come in, on progressive waves,
shackling emotional gold, – energy projecting,
life’s forces – reaching out to holistic arms’
bringing back together, that which has particeled.
Geometric progression – images of – prognosticated
that the source will shatter, like a million mirrors,
into a billion reflective fragments – partials of,
what can not be separated from the whole.
This universe, nothing but a black hole !, for this soul
where the pieces of, will not come together, coalesce,
just remain, refracted energy, projected through prisms
of indifference, rainbows, this life, becoming prisoners of.
Love’s journey towards – reaches back to become whole
holographic images – a life imbued – wanting to know.
