Short Empyrean Poems

Strolling around in 
our dear Old Paradise Street
I nearly swooned, my
love, yet, though, rose up into
your deep blue empyrean....

Wandering away from the empyrean
regions, my atrabilious soul, like
a Cimmerian, now dwell in 
a realm of perpetual darkness
engulfed in an aeonian gloom....

We cracked 
the 
vault of
heaven and disturbed 
the 
Gods of Empyrean
as
the
ripples sing out
across
the fabric of 
space and time
release
the
vault of heaven...

Sol hides behind clouds
Darkness envelops the earth
Shy like a bride
Awaiting empyrean* showers

THE FALL OF THE EMPIRE



The empire of the empyrean
Is swallowing up the remains of our day
While we rebuild our empty sandcastle walls

And outrun the swiftest  skylark
In a plunge to the gates already closing out
The dawdling dwindling light....

pathway to heaven’s
ultimate celestial journey
with dark beginning

slowly steps illumine 
making travel less fearful
heaven’s own nightlight

god’s empyrean
a secure welcoming sight
with new breath of life

heaven
                 angelic, glorious, 
          rejoicing, ascending, lifting
 empyrean, blissful, hades, netherworld
     condemning, descending, flaming
               damned, miserable
                           hell

Empyrean Rapture

Radiance sublime
God’s true plan

Stars bright
Heavenly light

Angels sing paeans
In God’s name

Souls ascend
Now to arrive

On cosmic dust
Trails to infinity

walk to fame
singing my notes
as a virtuosic
applauded habitually

pitching new octaves
alto and tenor
our dulcet tunes
loudly echo

of seamless hearts
tickled to laughter
our guileless smile
wakes bliss

our empyrean dreams
hitherto slumbering still
to stay living
gains life...

 Resounding
echoes of mauve
endowed
gratified bliss
to my gravest woe.
Life’s heedless
demands,
I fear not-
Though I’ve
sought rain in
weak moments,
my hidden nature
of love always kindles 
my
empyrean soul.

Sweat mingels with my tears,
as thunder reverberates above.
Angels with calginous garments,
stand in obscure doorways;
as lightning punctuates the empyrean.
Looking towards the future,
I can only envision the past.
So once again I plant flowers 
at my brother's grave.
But who are these flowers really for?
The person long since deceased,
or the ones who remained behind?...

TOMMY

Blessed are the souls that sing;
A smile their song, laughter their words, 
Whose hearts, though burdened, still take wing
Like radiant sunbirds.

Though Life could sink them with its weight, 
Or pinion them with care, 
And rein them Earthbound, chained by Fate, 
They much prefer the air.

In their bright, empyrean flight, 
They carry us along, 
And we, like tag tails, hang on tight – 
Enchanted by their song....

Machiavellian schemes besmirch a murky mangrove calm
A propeller breaks the tranquil glass over an underwater farm
Neath the broken still, a peaceful giant stirs with alarm
and no consolation is found as noise churns it's quiet charm

The serene spots need to be augmented for they are our balm
Ecosystems need protection from greedy developers’ harm
Empyrean Earth for all, is in our active palms, giving alms…

DO  NOT  GO  GENTLE



Rays of darkness thread their way 
Across the ragged  empyrean:
A web of desperation in the  twilight
As the dread veil is pulled tighter.
The solitude  of  stitched blackness
Across the  worn-out sky 
Is pierced by tiny holes 
Where tomorrow’s light still filters.

Perpetual beauty as such leaves me flawed,
It holds me in its rhythm, entranced,
My reason for, my ardour,
My pride deepens, my valour romanced.

Frozen in time, fatherhood sublime,
You hold my heart and capture my being,
You are the meaning, the reason I survive,
I will always be there for my girls, empyrean. 

As the sand falls, I’ll be my all,
Until I’m gone an am nothing but dust,
I will cherish you all until I am called,
My love for you, as always robust....

Petrified, broken, and lifeless, 
Earth lies below virgin snow flakes.
At its zenith the moon’s caress,
Cold light, falls on white cloak and lake.
Empyrean suns give voids brightness.

Orchids, blue berries, and pine line the lake.
New fish school under the heat haze, land bakes.

Empty souls bask frozen and lean 
Aurora unleashed joins light dance 
Ribons reach for their silver queen
The trees sway, caught in heaven’s trance.
Hear lonely wind sigh through evergreens...

Sterling silver jewels 
are pendolous on her ear-lobes 

as she shakes her head,
as they sit by a river lit up 

with a shimmer of man-made light. 
Salmon with peach colors is a feast 

for the sky above them; 
yet her new diamond is tossed

into this dove tinted water, 
with orange and deep yellows-

the celestial sphere
becomes an adorned queen;

she wears her crown of diamonds
as a half moon is punched

into this empyrean, 
and a moonbow is tossed to them....

Lost amongst a trillion stars.
In lustrous shades of Ebony and Ivory.
We are like the moon craving for night fall,
so our twin embers can ignite dark skies.
Under the modesty of moonlight,
desire illuminates in our eyes.
We spark like supernovas in empyrean explosions,
waltzing around the planets in a cosmic ballet.
Penetrating pulses beat until glimpse of daylight,
as zealous sun ascends like bonfires in our hearts -
A celestial tapestry woven in timeless space....
