Short Alteration Poems

Restriction in normalcy
and alteration in wholeness
from the body’s bitter complain

Love is [true love] not 
love that alters [it does] when 
it does alteration find.

medallion leaves float
     to fading emerald fields-
                  green grounds turn golden

Spaghetti

The meat, 
the cheese,
the sauce.

The smiles,
the laughs,
the wine.

The music, 
the song, 
the moment... 

The vow of forever!

Then...

You and I, 
and the garlic bread!

Bell Jar State

Year after year,
Day after day,
I walk around
In my numb
Bell jar state.

I’m ready for
My alteration,
My final break
Out of this
Dismal space.

It’s my life to have
Or to take.

Staying in the
Depressing state
Would
Be my own
Damn mistake....

A GENESIS WEEK

another weekend 
come and gone
another week
to act upon
another schedule
yet still press on

instigate alteration
innovate brand new
instigate variation
modify break through
instigate transformation
a Genesis week pursue

Sweet alteration
				


The natures face may shines so bright

Emerging hues and countless lights

But wind may blow an awful blithe

And take a mess on someone’s sight.

This the truth no soul denied

For alteration comes at sudden times

No man can hinder nor deprived

As it left its name sublime.

I saw you today,
deep in the quiet grove 
the technicolor candle light of alteration
melting between the leaves like sugar
the way your face looked in the glow of aging. 

I closed my eyes, 
basking in remaining sounds of your voice
my hands, instinctively cupped to my face
wanting nothing more then to catch you
before it scatters away....

You're tougher
than I thought
You weather the storm
without a flinch
or alteration
of your personality
It's amazing
in a way
to see how you
conduct yourself
through all the
trials and tribulations
of life.
You really are
a wonder to behold.
It brings me satisfaction,
causes me to question
how I 
can be so weak
when you are
so strong....

The fifteenth day of the fourth month of the year
Only shines for those who rise to see it
A hybrid lunar species merging the symbol of a vampire and wolf; 
Howling at the moon while painting the night sky crimson red. 
A lunar tetrad; a bizarre alteration of a lunar eclipse. 
Four chances to catch the view, unless you’re prepared to wait until 2032....

Consciousness
our only Identity
seems to constrict itself
with a simultaneous birth
of self and world..
This is all"seeming"
as Consciousness
our only Identity
 knows only itself..
All the "seeming" is
a temporary coloring
not an alteration
of Consciousness
our only Identity..
Coloring/Consciousness
a dance of polarity
of Consciousness alone
our only Identity......

A shiver down the spine,
Stomach squirming in jittery nerves,
It lives.

With a mind of its own,
You feel the burn, white hot,
Racing through your blood.

Frightened of being consumed,
How can one withstand,
Unbearable magic meant for the hands of the gifted when we are not?

Say words, cast your spell,
And watch as all attempts at alteration fail,
For love is boundless....

We each have a unique identity
Alteration is hopeless
The enigma is a conundrum
With the option of reshuffling
You cannot fight a fire
through an amazing sight to behold
In a completely emotional manner
Often, I would just stroll across vast deserts
Simply stay away from you
Yes, I will not have it any other way
I hope my eyes express all I can't say

Down whiskey for brain alteration
Inhale potent smoke to open cognitive Inspiration
Id is now truly bent
Body is demanding its overdue occupancy
Rent
Sick and wondering why the tenant is so Unkind
Taut rope is twisted to maximum
Now it needs to unwind
Let loose spinning wildly out of control
Dizziness causes vision to blur
Careful, cant do much with broken arms
Messed up beyond belief
In the eye of the inebriated storm
There is still no relief...

I set out to create a rhyme
   but the sounds won't come together
A haiku it was now going to be
   but the words became too many
I decided a sonnet will do fine 
   just then the words disappeared
     only ten lines shy of four
I couldn't gather enough Ps
    to make a tautogram
       and the alteration was already lost
An elegy would have been too sad
This was going to be epic! 
In the end I created a beautiful mess with words
Perfectly imperfect...

Stars twinkle
Will remain but not hustle bustle
Slept for long while
Stars twinkle
With lighted purple.
Moon faded when time passes.
  Now see to dawn when time comes.
 Star twinkles somewhere in the meantime at bay.
Star will not be lost only for long while of day.
Sun rises at east.
Move to west.
Sun sets for a long while.
But not lost in the sky at night only for while.
Planets will be there with hilarious.
Site will be seen with alteration of happiness.

Colour Schemers

Arab Traders excavated
Europe laid the foundation
The New World framed it perfectly
The rest of the races roofed it

This …
Inordinate economic concupiscence
Shadowy sham, animated by a violent passion
An extraordinary alteration

So… 
Nature convulses
Human dignity reduced to 
Colour: Black, white, brown, yellow

But …
The scale corrects itself
The clock resets
The scheme falls apart

Because …
There is only one humanity
It’s you. 
It’s me....

The soil is undervalued and treated as unclean,
      even though it is the terrestrial realm.
           The best medium of alteration,
               wherein wastes get rotten,
                    and surely enhance
                          production.
                        All the plants
           animals and other organisms,
       get autonomy, shelter and nutrition.
   Usages and objects of soil are  umpteen,
The soil is undervalued and treated as unclean.
