Short Dilates Poems

wheezed lungs of  bare trees

panting against tight winds---

breath of moon dilates...

In spring colors
in summer heat
autumn fallen flowers
and in the warmth of winter
life dilates aura -
love enriches life....

hand cups a breast
fingertips trace lips and thighs
learning curves of love

crescent lid of light
In frozen glass marbled eyes
penetrates 

Yoke, spills, dilates sun
Noble thick mourning tears
Drop, slip off a dome sky...

And we stand here as time fades
Everything dilates
And we finally see each other
This is hell
I am raw and open
Vulnerable and exposed
I am imperfect and you are perfection
All my pretenses stripped away
And i finally admit
I could never be good enough for you...

awareness poised in silence staid
bereft of attributes, pulsates
benign bliss friction readymade
in-form conduits, gently dilates

our tryst with bliss fixates focus
as we flow without resistance 
navigating God’s love locus
we are one with all existence

from the void’s centreless fulcrum 
both immanent and transcendent 
nonchalant to earth life’s humdrum
we are love and light resplendent...

Sparse lashes span aged lids,
framing an eye that catches light
like the clearest glass.
The softest liquid sheen - of tears?
But the eye stares blankly
without expression. 
No crinkle of joy, no distention of fear,
yet the pupil dilates, eclipsing the iris. 
Snuffing out the moon.
And there, the faintest reflection...
watching, waiting.  
He stares down Death itself
with no sign of fear.

*Inspired by Escher's "Eye"...
