But love and passion continue life's song

Dont let this chance pass by.
In duration
As long sat, spins for it.
Boils may bring on!

Out to world's spectacle
A real fairground's
To gaze, if in a blur.
Grin, if confounds....

A never-ending infinity.

An eternal, everlasting occasion.
Every moment that has ever been, is and ever will be,
Infinity....

Had completely destroyed our nation;
Had  torn apart;
Broke our heart;
Present for Milania was a prevrication.

After a lifelong happy and productive duration
I've reached an age where I've lost my motivation
Guess it happens to most
It's the latest diagnosis
Age affects people differently in each generation...

Unusual fear, I've suffered from on occasion,
especially, for airplane flights long duration;
It's the fear of not having
enough to read, passing
time tough; forgot to carry books, caused frustration.

The Sensitive

fragile
sourced from weak
no stand
easily shaken
so frail
like glass
easily broken
far from strong
hardly last
short span
owns contingency
little duration
now and then
sensitive
so weak so frail.

Sitting comfortably 
Attentively
Without thought 
Mind-body begot
As of our will
We are still

As soon as an urges begins to arise
We let it awaken but block its rise
In suspended animation
This being our meditation 

For an unending duration

I hear the murmuring.
Is it the strength

ebbing away? Just
damned inconvenience,

when adulthood fails.
It's like the days

from my memory.
How fear wells up

with all its push-me-
pull-me.

Push-me-pull-me
waiting for rest.

Another's sorrow so
becomes my own....

orange roses grass
under wrap around blue sky
pretty as summer

blooms dusted with gold
and glittering all their lives
beckoning with scents

orange episode
of sweetest time's duration
earthward redbirds fall

green celebration
sunshine festival of joy
purple dragonflies...

Sailor men, bell-bottom dressed,
They know what ladies like the best:
Strong men, with hair upon their chest
And with duration well possessed.

So come ye maidens howe’er you look,
If you can bake or you can cook
Come out ye from your sheltered nook
And do not pleasure overlook....

Emotionally intense
Yet equally submissive
Pain is hit or miss
And leaves me feeling twisted
Inside out and upside down
Right side up
A circus clown
I can’t predict
My next sensation
How acute
For what duration
A wayward vessel
I can’t instruct
At the mercy 
Of fickle luck...

Those flurries of small specks
My mother called leaky faucet kisses.
Late sun winks from a power line
Beyond the neighbor's tree.

In heaven, where repetition's not boring-
Silver whistles of blackbirds
Needle the daylong day.
We are still on the air,
Still on the air they say....

Given off from the light of the moon-
Sparkling stars each one falls to soon-

The night duration filled with light-
See the stars, the eternal sight-

Looks above the darkened trees-
From to their homes the stars now flees-

You see the colors, vast open space-
You may see then a glorious race-...

freaks my dawgs at?
 one kiss at a time
 in their proper places
 stringing my heart along...

 one kiss at a time
 for improper duration
 stringing my heart along...
 unknown whereabouts

 for improper duration
 in their proper places
 stringing my heart along...
 freaks my dawgs at?...

Reaching…..

Reaching with long duration
of prayer not attending
to subjects, no creation
of thoughts, finally reaching.

Sunyata

Feeling of pure readiness
complete thoughtless, no thinking;
Sunyata, full emptiness
in mind with dauntless feeling.

It's all a lie, never truly settling. 
In the stark sun's rays
it floats weightless,
landing of its own accord -
disturbed to drift by
something as simple as a sigh,
then lingering/taunting
in its pseudo innocence. 
No duration of stillness 
could ever appease
memories so easily stirred....
