When you watch
or guide
you would agree
that time is a thing
of two ends
may be like a children
playing lever
but what is there
it makes a difference....

Time has no alpha and omega 
Indeed time was not born from time 
It's a distinct entity 
Souls traverse in its flow 
Dilation be there 
Revelation 
proclaims it's 
only 
God...

A metrical escape valve,
  letters in the maelstrom

Lightning on the horizon,
  second child of the Gods

Sacrificial waterfall,
  its current overflowing

A literal dilation
 —of the verbal supreme

The blackest hole
of poetic intent
Light spinning inward
no chance of escape
Eluding the eyes
collapsing the meaning
Time in dilation
direction opposed
Energy waning
one word is emitted
Superpositioned
—the last dying star

(Dreamsleep: July, 2023)...

I went to the doctor
To check out my eyes.
Dilation was needed;
‘Twas not a surprise.

But now, hours later,
With pupils gigantic,
My vision’s all fuzzy,
Which should make me frantic,

Though wearing my glasses
At least I can see;
Still, reading and writing
Aren’t easy for me.

Tomorrow I’ll wake
And my sight should be fine
So the world and my vision,
I hope, will align....

beauty and darkness
   intoxication from the outset
         salivation
     dilation of pupils
you sweat
          for a taste of salination
      purification
                   no matter what I say
       eye contact is
neurotransmission 
           to bypass, most... everything 
   greater good v inconsequential collateral damage

           it's a dream job
           someone has to do it
           job satisfaction....

Gazing eyes, cannot belie
a triumph.   The unexpected signs,
combined with waves of  energy,
soft blue rings, flaming dilation,
swollen from the inside out, 
winding rivers that flood and flow
through dried out lands of wrinkled souls.

The summer sun has begun to climb
back into our coming autumn sky,
in a relapse of retrograde motion.

No, gazing eyes (like yours and mine)
are unafraid, to see through, 
to be present and always true,
and go beyond the world we knew....

I want

intellectual stimulation
panorama and dilation
conversation with less trivia
mind food as criteria
discuss problems with reality
the fellowship of humanity
withering delusions
peeling paint illusions
unstifled liberality
fantasy and reality
decline of spirituality
semblances of sanity
birth of science and reason
solar accretion
the rocks beneath my feet
calcium in my teeth
brave and the meek
origins of my conceit
quantum and constants
unconscious nonsense...
