THE QUINTESSENCE OF MY HAPPINESS
INNER HAPPINESS IS A RARE GIFT AND ITS
EUPHORIA DESCENDS LIKE A MIST,
YOU ABSORB IT IN YOUR BODY AND SOUL.
IN THAT MOMENT, YOU'RE FILLED WITH JUBILATION, AND YOUR EBULLIENCY IS CONTAGIOUS.
LAUGHTER AND GAIETY EXPLODE OUT OF YOUR BODY LIKE ELECTRIC CURRENTS.
THIS BLISSFULNESS IS NOT BOUGHT OR MANUFACTURED.
IT'S WHOLESOME ORGANIC JOY THAT

our quintessence
the mooring rope of thought severed
we surfed silence unseen
self-aware
animating the void
between the pause of heartbeats
beseeching love to pair
whence betwixt strobes of bliss magnetism
vaporised presence transformed as light
declaring life’s game is but a dare

The Cold of Fear
Cold is the tittering of befitted feet
Cold is the meagre meanders of falling fractals
Cold is the twinge of bitter blues upon reeling retreats
Cold is the roiling retch of frostbitten flesh
Cold is the weary wench of an incomplete belch
Cold is the hoarded heath upon a ridiculed roof
Cold is the eerie ebb of a trepid twitch
Cold

The Quintessence of Nothing
Don’t say it, please.
I’m not asking for compliments.
I am not a poet.
I prefer free verse.
No rhyme.
No iambic pentameter.
No metaphors.
Just plain words
For I am a wordsmith.
Best I stop writing
For I am
The quintessence of nothing.
Note: I might occasionally post something, I require no views or comments.

I'm not quintessence
At the end of the day,
I pour my soul into these words, they say,
These scars, they tell stories of my past,
But they don't define me, they won't last.
It's been a journey, finding joy amidst the pain,
Learning to dance in the sunshine, not just in the rain.
Yet lately, shadows loom, threatening to pull me

Quintessence
The quintessence of yellow quince
Is its sweet taste, subtle perfume.
Heralded as a worthy fruit prince.
A true delight from nature's bloom.
A peach's essence, is blushed red skin,
With every bite, a burst of sun,
Its soft tender flesh, draws us in.
Ruby red kiss for everyone.
The essence of pear, is its grace,
Crisp, and succulent, such delight.
Its artful shape you

Where Tranquility's Quintessence Abides
I start my afternoon hike up a mountain trail.
October’s sunlight, the vestige of Indian Summer,
dapples my exposed skin with welcomed warmth.
Sun’s rays are gilded tendrils cutting through pines
whose needles’ sweet scent

Music and Poetry Quintessence Therapy
When I'm sad,
I read music with my ears
and I listen to poetry with my eyes
soon I transform... I become a poet,
Being a poet of the urgent moment.
I don't listen or read anymore...
I'm in pure ecstasy,
healed and transformed
in music and poetry embedded...
Total blissfulness,
quintessence... !

Quintessence
QUINTESSENCE
an absence
of
fervent
intensity
in miniature
with
infinite
equivocation
an ambiance
of impressioned
sensations
a resurgence
of an elide
intermix
apparently
remote
from
abiding concern
obliquely
descended into
a preoccupation
with the sensual
such
eloquent
perfection to
enlighten
the fusion
of continuity
with cohesion
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

The Phenomenon Poetry
Poetry is the mystery
enlightened,
the secret revealed,
the key to the abysses
and paradises...
Is the language
of the occult, and the
intercommunication
from all universes...
Complete study
of whole, and the understanding
of the phenomenon nothing...
Plenitude and voidness... !

The Essence of Quintessence
Significance, magnificence, noncoincidence
elegance, eloquence, grandiloquence
effervescence, prepubescence, convalescence
quintessence, fluorescence, omnipresence
What makes these kind of groupings pleasing
It's not you, dear read, I am appeasing
Nor am I in any way illicit or licentious

Quintessence of Dust
[With a nod to the Bard]
We are the moving dust,
we are the breathing dust,
we are the seeing dust,
we are the living dust.
But how, you ask, and rightly
so, can dust fall asleep,
dreaming of places unknown,
and lovers unmet-- how can
dust imagine whole worlds
and love with one heart for
60 winters and 60 summers?
And do the notes

Quintessence of Quiescent
Up the polished ceiling above my bed
In my bedroom resting for a while,
A camouflaged lizard crawls his webbed feet
With dead silence in his spider tongue
Hunting a fly nearby in languorous mood
So unconscious of to-be catastrophe
Bony spine of mine chills enough
To freeze my whole body like an ice
For the certainty of yet another calamities
Befalling on my
