UNPERPLEXED
voyages beyond
to places
of merging
recusant & reimagined
more tempting
than acknowledged
transformed
to a constant
so steadfast
in a clandestine
shelter
fascination
doggedly in awe
this unique
capacity
captivates
this sensual
idealised
in a spectacular
citadel
of idealised
uncompromising
modes
of thought
NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

An umbrella moves
through the rain
and in between each drop
emptiness
Morning’s injured light
far from the sun
trips over rooftops
into the wind’s mouth
passing over my eyes
I hear footsteps
alone on the sidewalk
alone in the rain
only to stop and wait
for a dream or a green light
From the sidelines
a burly boom
of far-off thunder
Time passes even darker
Raindrops tangle in my hair
raindrops sadder than anything
Neruda has written

Dark afternoon
light is blocked
Along the street
water streams noiselessly
falls into a hole
dwindles its time away
Winter is lonely
In prolonged sleep the shortest day
barely breathes
A somber gray
hangs in the air
the wind twizzles
Looking out the window
time dwindles away
and thoughts pile up
My useless thoughts
that I store in notebooks
and drag through life
for no reason than
they are mine

To those who forgive me
I loathe you
for you are weak
No
your voices are not worthy
you spineless living
dead things
worthless as dumb dogs
If not incarcerated
I would do it again
would squeeze everything
out of you
land
pride
dignity
your life
No do not say you forgive me
you are not gods
You have no power to forgive
you are impotent
After I vanish
I will haunt you to your deaths
and there
I will be waiting
to squeeze the light from your soul
until nothing but darkness

NIMBY
I have a penchant for nature
Sacrosanct
As I mature it grows
Paramount
A proclivity toward the conception of the attributes of my affection
Life, animation, progenitor, the essence of
Vivacity
Conveys its invioble existence in the plethora of ways it still
Survives
Nature does not refuse, disallow or reject,
but keeps flourishing despite those who try to bring about its demise…In spite of destruction, disaster and neglect
Its integrity is not ambiguous, never disguised as a recusant, Contentious Objector
My beguiler is as simple as a
Tree
My choice for serenity
Never a frenemy…Not In My Back Yard
