Celebration breaks
a waterfall descends
dewdrops of mirth
twine to form
theatrical strands
diffusing mélanges
of paradise
‘twas a triumphant day
to have reigned

Nevermore the river styx shall ye reach
The trickster has played his tricks leaving your bones to bleach
Take ye heed in life be fair or in death the raven will steal your fare.

climb between the spires
hot bare feet on sugar beach
touch the winding surf
opening and closing eyes
i’ve left earth for heaven’s peak
tour leaves the pitons ~
on the bus, bananas and
warm cassava bread

My mind radiates,
A thousand thoughts
Of yearning, of love,
And some uncalled.
My only thought,
Thou shall see yonder,
In an elysium
Or in an orb.
O proper stuff!
Rheumy thoughts of thou,
Shall live.
In odd-even,
On a reasonable shore.

Verse
Elysium take me now!
My hand is outstretched for you
Send down the cloud
As slowly I close my eyes
Surrender my power to the soil.
I close my eyes and find myself
Under this tree
The sun dapples my skin and the grass
Is like gentle snow
Across the land is beautiful daffodils in prime
In my ears are the tunes of golden lyres.

This night that helplessly run
On the palm of sleeplessness and boredom
By your presence came to an halt
An angel you are, may I say
Or by me you be called,
The dulcet tune of passion's flute
For in the open field of your words
I find mellow breeze that blows me into another world
Serene, pleasant, undeniably from Elysium fields.

From times in past in kingdoms vast
Man has taken thou time
Pandered to his own needs
Making our world a debauchery
Fraught with weight and burden
Man fail to cease the day
Thou has seen the daughters of elysium stray
As does the world decay
So haveth an appraisal see
Out with materialism in time
To preserve the world in the name of the divine

SHANGRI-LA
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
I longed for Elysium, in an unending search
I longed to join the chorus in Eden’s church
To bath in the warmth of an idyllic pool
To jump with joy like an unburdened fool
Combing the seas n heavens to no avail
Shangri-la was elusive, yet I refused to fail
Looking outward I could not reach my goal
Shangri-la resides in every mans soul

o poetic dear-
you are my oblation
here, in this temple
this is mind,
this is a heart,
this is the inner inn of diction
you are my worshiping motion
you are my words
you are my wisdom
I love you in my garden of work
I love you in my learning park
you, the poem
you, the poetic heaven
every I mark you
in the grove of Elysium

A lifetime passes
but she lives on, touchable now
only with mind-beams.
Walking through a cornfield together
seems like Elysium.
Imagination fills in the blanks,
her hand in mine
leads to a future memory.
That cornfield, that soft sunlight
its all smolder and smoke now,
but she is invulnerable.
She has moved to a place
just ahead of my eyes.
I see her in new yellow robes;
the dazzle of her,
waving
between the suns fading rays.

"Bodies of Work"
Wings lift us up
on the old works
reinvented
beauty
is what we want,
beauty in the mind
we invoke
a new world,
continuum in harmony
it sings
in the strange,
beautiful things
in the heart
to mind
quantum
phenomenon
magnetised
Wings lift us up
away from the old
bodies of work
Venus rising
luminescent

Narrative
I'll lay down here and rest my head,
in this arc of stones I'll make my bed.
On the moss covered floor of the forest deep,
I'll close my eyes and fall asleep.
The stars shall be my counterpane,
and shelter me from gentle rain.
Moonbeams gild my tired eyes,
and breezes sooth me with their sighs.
No more for me the travails of life,
for nature shall become my wife.
Here, in the forest where wild things roar,
my heart will rest and ache no more.

Rhyme
Nectar in flowers calmly creams,
Within hearts seep vast, wide, wild streams;
Ardent chill thrills, within nerves, flow,
Passion gallops; reason limps slow;
Earth seems Elysium divine,
Fills and overflows with love-wine;
Fairies, midst blossoms, mind enchant,
Chorus of love-melodies chant;
Midst wild waves of turbulent seas,
Heart-beats violently increase;
Within endless embrace-filled peace,
Times their times for time-being cease...!

Lay
Over the land covered in suet, singed by storms of fires
The Fire Drake surveyed for any breath of life remaining
The humans decidedly in unification ended all existence
Hovering over Elysium once occupied by eternal Spring
The Drake came to rest on wet wood washed to shore
It considered all things and then it took to flight
Once there was a place called Heaven and now it’s forever lost
Note: I would consider this Urdu Poetry.

I kneel
before an altar of dreams
and haunt the tombs
of the Unobtainable.
I can't quiet the restlessness;
there is no pacifying
that ancient,
hand-me-down heirloom
to own an Elysium
I can not describe.
Is it my inheritance
to long for fire
with the sun in my hand
and thirst for a stream
with the Nile in my mouth.
Will I forever crave magic
and gorge myself on it
only to vomit truth
so I might own the emptiness again
and once again
satisfy my restlessness?

There have been many pleasantries
As a moppet over the years:
The countless summer night breezes
That whistled music in my ears;
Or lay supine and gaze above
At the moonlit star studded sky
And conceive my dreams undreamed of
As they emerged before my eyes.
But gone are those childish whimsies
Those were born of the wind and stars.
Gone are the musical breezes
That once filled those nights… au revoir!
Gone is that place where I once reigned
Yet in my heart it still remains.

Rhyme
Liquified in an elixir
Of eloquence
I seek asylum
For I am an asylum seeker
Seeking for the one and only true Elysium
But will my eolian language
Be enough and not only
Reach daft ears? I hope not!
Yet, I do so fear my eolian tongue
Be too hot and untranslatable
Worse, unheard of
I get so caught up in the moment,
I find myself inside a bubble
Floating upward, and onward
Floating higher Into Infinity
and beyond. . .

Stand before you take a bow,
think about us then and now.
Grant the sun another set
to polish this serrated day.
Show me what you can deduce
for splintered love we thrust obtuse.
If merged as one we do attempt
to leave this path we've led astray.
Do redeem the wayward doe,
with staunch eyes on grievous crow,
haunting skylines absent truth;
The once divine, nevermore.
To perceive pure innocence
is to pursue true penitence;
birthing promiscuous saints
from every celibate whore.
