I waver at the star teeth
of my own invention,
accreting webs of wild light
where night trades
cold for dark
sidereal heat.
I am not here for mundane marvels—
I am here to manifest my most
daring fantasies into reachable
constellations,
grasping at the ungraspable—
drawing unfathomables to fruition.

Searching
Searching for a place
Where I belong
Where hope is alive
Where feelings of disappointment fade away to no longer reachable distances
The longing of belonging is in the mirror
Faith flows through the air
The memories and dreams ringing don't stop in my ear
My heart racing whenever you are near
For you remind me of who I once was
Before i lost myself
Longing for love from all the wrong places
Left alone to pick up the pieces of a shattered heart that broke itself
From accepting the unacceptable
The longing to belong was always in the mirror .Time stood still the moment I found myself again.
Finding that hope faith & love from within.

Things that make us unhappy:
Angry, sad, and miserable
These things prevent us
From moving forward
Leaving them out of life
Is called freedom
Happiness is reachable
If you done away with
Negative vibes
Life is beautiful
If you discard bad influences
And focus on doing things that are good.

There are two contrasting things I see
Amazingly convey grace and beauty
That is the blue sea and the field of greens
These are two opposite mix feeling for me
The blue sea feels me danger but is necessary
For a source of living and adventure
The field of greens propose romantic chills
Meet variation of colors that meets the eyes
The field of greens gives peace abundance itself
Since its reachable and achievable per se
The blue sea is unpredictable but with a warning
The bravest is the winner who safely returned
The adventure of life is the crucial stage
While there's tranquility in the land base
No assurance of life is being safe
Though both gives a mix feeling of emotions
They are part and parcel of human life.

It is teachable
Yet it cannot be found
The sequences
It is reachable
Yet it cannot be established
The formulation
Happiness,
Release those feelings
As they would not be needed
It has come
Release that pain
As it would not be endured
It has gone
Freedom,
It is productive
Yet it cannot be used
The morals
It is constructive
Yet it cannot be created
The values
Happiness

Thorns-filled bush
Leaves are edible, yet
They aren't reachable.
Placing the forelegs
On the slippery trunk
Slipping off
Supporting again
Slipping
Supporting
Though it took a long
Achieves its goal of
Attaining
At least
A few leaves

You have my voice that sings
My eye’s that love to see
My heart beating when it believes
My hand writing poetry of what should be
My steps walking boldly thinking of thee
My minds consumption of
vast amounts of time
My work that tries providing
Any attention that I can find
A victim of love
Happily and sadly am I
I am like Samson
Believing every lie
Being like Romeo
I’d surely die
What a substance is love
As reachable as the sky
With fears and rejection
That might cause my demise
My childish suffering
This disease called shy
Yet monotheistic my soul
Itself cries
Day after day this feeling
Will not die
Only one half of what
God says am I
Could you go with us,
My God and I
Could you put your hand under my thigh
Let me promise before I die
The climb of the mountian
That reaches your sky

What Is It Part VI
In dementia we only the past lies clear.
What was is reachable; what is, is ghostly.
We see the universe the same way,
Its great shimmering cloud spreads so far over space and time
We see everything as it was, not as it is;
Most of it exists for the motes in the far long ago.
So if this so diffuse, so ephemeral cloud
Has thoughts born of the lightning flashes
Going off in the countless tiny motes within it,
Separated by great gulfs of time and space,
What manner of thoughts can they be?
Does it spend eternity wondering What It Is?

“The journey with divine lamp in the realm of sanguinity finds the doors of opportunity open one by one”- Quote by Poet
In the obscurity of the dismal opaque night,
across the dark landscape of formidable plight,
I need to take the ordained journey for me still left,
for I have promises waiting out there to be kept.
The whispering wind of time passes me by, and I hear
it tells me this journey has no reachable end near.
I’m lost in the wilderness far away from home empty,
feel the crumbling heart writhing in the grip of agony.
At the fringe of sanguinity the fleeting forlorn moment
illumines within me the inner heavenly light resplendent,
and I see the new sunrise of the splendorous dawn,
with the rays of hope radiating from the hued horizon.
I perceive with delight the divine radiant glow
shine on the eroding stream’s melancholic dark flow
I cross, leave behind the shadows of strife with impunity,
find the path to the sanctum of life’s desired opportunity.

Let's go somewhere really far
Not reachable by train or car
Only via plane or ship
Let's go away, let's take a trip
Just you and I without a phone
We'll leave all those type things at home
In each other's company
What happens there we'll have to see
But I predict some lovely nights
Of romance where we'll reach new heights
Of ecstasy while mindful of
The bottom line, of which is love
To fill whatever loneliness
We each may have with soft caress
And tell each other many things
And listen to each other's dreams
And I will hold you in my arms
And whisper of your many charms
And rock you 'til you fall asleep
And kiss you softly on the cheek
And when you wake I'll be right there
Looking at your face so fair
I'll tell you that I love you, then
I'll tell it to you once again

‘Yellow day dreams
are strong like day walkers.’
Manifested in the dark with closed eyes.But is that really where they flourish? Remembered with the smell of coffee it’s like a sign for a train with a new destination.Crossing a sort of imaginary line between illogical and possible you inhale again. Breathing in everything from your restless pillow. Now the blurry concept begins to flesh itself out into the tangible. Achievable. Reachable. The vision with the light on is much more clear. Around the corner wins are closer now than they may have appeared.
Gold Sun amplifies
a wish caught by stars at night;
Serotonin boost.

Your smile, like a gilded flower blooming in the spring
Bright and golden sunshine, bringing everything
To life again...
This life of mine since knowing you has never been the same
And tattoed on my very heart in love ink is your name
Your name will never fade away, it's still there burning bright
I'll call on it to comfort me on lonely, sleepless nights
I love you so, my love will last into eternity
To grasp the depth and volume, count infinity
Impossible, it's not a sum that's reachable by man
But open wide my arms and heart and in that finite span
Exists enough mirific love, the kind I have for you
Without it all my heart than does is function and make do

Forgiveness feels like a lonely dance
What to do when drama’s veils go down
Hands must be dropped in repentance
To be free, only I can slip off this gown
Unforgiven I acted as an unimpeachable
I wore out the hands of others justified
Without palms, forgiveness is reachable
Empty scarlet letters is tossed aside
Forgiveness grants a place uninhabited
Two steps back, the next step is always new
By the grace of God I’m deemed talented
He turns the fullness of shame into dew
Forgiveness is a seed receiving the light
I resist trusting soil, water, and sun
The empty space above is where it’s right
Hiding dormant, nowhere for me to outrun
Forgiveness feels rawer than useless raging
No more a martyr's dance, just pure suffering

Luke 23:34
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots

Alone with our love on a quiet retreat
In a mountain lake cabin, no one else there to greet
Reachable only by an airplane on floats
Hidden from view in a place so remote
That only one chair could be brought to the door
Together we're on it experiencing more
Sharing a moment of corporal bliss
That started with hugging and one little kiss
My hair is a handle for you to hold on
Unstyled and wild all control is now gone
While you there my dear are a porcelain doll
Held in my arms, of you I'm enthralled
The day turns to night then the night turns to day
