One point in time,

Wide aperture mind
condensed milk consciousness
8 fold path toil
Noble truths abide within
samsara nirvana done...

Eye aperture opens and
The crystal will tell all....

Riding on the waves
Free spirits’ eye captured me;
Aperture closing;
Our souls are one and the same.
Orca has captured my soul....

A forged signature-
                                      Of an envisaged structure
                                                            Through an aperture...

capas asombrosos
de la ignorancia
se extiende
en el verde
tierra de
la dicha
soy un huerfano
de aperture de
las alas
pavos reales azules
bailan
con la esperanza de
lluvia apocaliptica...

Portal to Paradise
  Our window to the world
From this aperture on high
  We command earth and sky

Soaring on falcons' wings
  or burrowing with bunnies
Partaking of nectar divine
  lips locked in pure honey...

moments of rapture 
              sometimes tragic in stature
                smiles and tears fracture
               light hits the lens aperture
             snap ~ piece of time i capture

Overcome with fear when I saw the aperture
It was a Philips a well known brand that is good
Right in front it said it is a laser_now insecure
Does that mean it cuts with that bright light on its hood
No it was fear of those chemicals that set mood...

Black but brilliant, because this BOWL is like the biggest Colander
And through each INDIVIDUAL aperture, the light expresses itself
LORD forbid that any aperture in said Colander will dare compare, -
Laugh in derision at other holes. We are ONE, but in different PLACES...

God, earn a place in our hearts
As we feeble being
Sighting us, we strive for grafts
Save our day of rising

Love each day, is his way
Share thoughts, set time to pray.
Try to grasp facts each day

save us from spates
god, earn a place.

When you look
Do you see?
Browse odd book
Script tale free.


When you walk
Do you know?
Groom self-talk
To fund flow.


When you dance
Do you feel?
Take a chance
Just to heal.



When you sigh
Do you jest?
In prompt high
Seize fond fest.

More precious than any earthly gem
     Exquisite and unique
Beauty beyond expectation
     The eyes have it

Expressive and revealing
     Mysterious and kind
Power beyond measure
     The eyes have it

An aperture to understanding
     Mankind’s window
With limitless capacity
     The eyes have it...

Hey Lord won't you let me
use my Canon EF
Its one of my collections best
with copal platinum  blades
shooting at 1/60 of a second
to stop camera shake
at focal length of  50mm,
setting my aperture on auto
ranging from F 4 to F11
vertical horizontal pictures galore
With stepped gears
you're supremely shutter priority
to last for years...

Focus and see
A brave new world
Corruption taints


Delight and be
A light that shines
Persuasion claims


Abstain and know
A glow that sparks
Pain primes pleasure


Align and feel
A sign that stays
Pulse point treasure


Reveal and start
A tale of peace
Live love's laughter

Leaves are the desire of nature’s departure.
Each a delight of beauty for seasons aperture.
Again and again they flutter to a restful place.
Victims of death though rebirth is their race.
Enveloping landscape they provide cover.
So is the life of this countryside’s lavish lover.

A crow swallows a 
biscuit piece 
at window 
Mops its mouth 
with mango twigs 

First sunlight 
enters room 
Sketching stripes 
on your neck 

Deep down inside 
A four inches long plant
in a small glass pot 
turning violet _ a rivulet 

No I won't disturb the
sunlight crayons in delight 
Rather let me bring out the 
camera with small aperture...

I wish there was a gap
An opening an aperture
A great big empty hole
Where silence echoed
Through and through
And swept us off our feet

Its roar would overwhelm us
Drowning out all noise
And in a bellowing stillness
We’d finally be able
To hear ourselves
And others think
How awesome would that be

The lights on the tree homely,
The tinsel on the tree royal.
Fashion us to embrace regal,
Our loved ones who date only.

Blue, yellow, red and green,
Twist around, turn in, drop,
These lights grace the chop,
Step back for aperture keen,

Another year, the fuse is away,
Time to change it, no problem:
Kindles hearts, smiles, kids’ say.
The glistening and cheer born....
