Pilfered a verse from a tricky muse
Each stanza with riddles he did infuse
Perplexed, I shuffled each line 
Fusing the metric spine  
Confused, my remaining wits did loose...

Fusing closed
Secrete yourself away
In vermilion blossoms
Inside hushed anguish
Coiling up
In a fetal comfort
Beyond everything
Denying breath
Slowly fading
Within the confines
Of a blood red rose...

Amidst silent morrow's plea,
I plant myself in the ruins,
of a clementine tree,
fusing to the roots,
under the carriage,
of life and death, 
her barks brittle,
sweet breath,
meeting,
in undress.

something within stirs
it is the love elixir!
bubbling in elation
ending all separation!

as one without a second
no one here to ascend!
love a singularity 
fusing plurality!

Each day I crumble,
Broken to a million pieces,
Each night I reconfigure, 
Fusing the shards together as I sleep,
The task may not be easy and there are other options,
I choose to become me yet again and face today....

Fusing thought with emotion,
  words come to life

Images eternal,
  feelings ignite

Lines play in concert,
  all stanzas to meet

My psyche impassioned
  —my spirit complete

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)...

Dreams believed we found memories
One day at all recalled 
Eyes spoke to you our energies 
Remember what we saw 

Fusing into one meaning
kneeling for the feeling
of what we were seeking 

These two have flown 
Death is alone

None to comfort none to save
Broken splendid total naïve
Battle worn and leather bound
Gasping groaning final sound
Mixing rapid blasted fine
Frontline wasted shattered mind
Fusing cordite steady burn
Starflight wonder past return

If you’re a Rule Maker it’s probably true
that you have broken more than a few; 

Rule Breakers want to get that win,
their endless hustle demands attention;  

Free thought with structure? Perfect balance;
Respecting each other leads to progress; 
Fusing ideologies could be the game changer....

A Poet is not like other writers …
all narrative be damned

Charging and fusing each word with a spark
redundancy to ban

Poets and Novelists both drawn to the fire
their kindling looks the same

The differences clear when striking a match
— poetic verse rising in flames

In the self conjured game of hide & seek
With impish delight we take a sneak peek
We know beforehand where He is hidden
Yet for fun we pretend to do as bidden
Both recognise the harmless subterfuge 
Fusing in the heart where He takes refuge
Each pulse a flow of union & separation 
Rapturous bliss in an unending explosion

Within...

Horizon
I scan the horizon for the fantastic show
Atop the mountains the color so extravagant
Deep reds and purples blend like oils on canvas
Pale yellows and pinks swirl like cinnamon and sugar
All together fusing like a heap of blankets on the bed
It’s the daily offer from earths open curtains
A unbeatable creation from god almighty...

TOWARDS ABSTRACTION an ekphrasis

Sundrenched scenes fusing space and light..
Abstraction ,fantasy and dreams.Images
transformed with intimate freshness.
Tranquillity of shimmering light
saturating the everyday garden scene
incandescent,yellow,red and green.

inspired by the Impressionist art form...

Lonesome time of isolation,
caged in self-confined crumbled space.
Stretched arms, silk cheeks withdrawn
to distance redefined,
feel of live touch lost in deep gloom.
Wish I could crash on you to fuse.

Catch a flower
So endearing
Throwing star
Not so far
Dueling vision
Catastrophic living
Fusing hope
Praise and giving
Mountain slope
God is living
All around me inside me all this I see
As I catch a flower throw a star double vision
Jesus is not dead He is living
He's not falling He is coming
Hallelujah

See this heart
fragile like an eggshell
it’s been to Hell and back
and is slowly fusing back together
handle it with care
because she never did
she was never there
See this heart
fragile like an eggshell
Treat it well
like she never could
like she never wanted to
See this heart
fragile like an eggshell
please don’t bid it farewell
as easily as she did...

Unrest is the tempestous,
world seems out of favor...
malignant beseem the superflous,
sour,ill-tempered neighbors...
But...
The grass is always greener,
at your side of our choosing...
you've made me a believer,
love's hallmark unites fusing...
You are,
The soft to my hard
a sheath for my sword,
like whisperings of a bard
you are the calm to my storm.......

Fusing with the dust particles in the universe
Arms stretched..I lay, probing my pair with blazing eye
Many other bodies were spiralling around me
Not knowing what they were up to..
Was busy flitting in the air amidst space glinting..
Slowly perceiving that-I was in sky as a gleaming star.

Darkness lures above and under,
Light is no where to be seen,
Scared of what I can not hear,
 Frightened of what I can not see,

Maybe if I tried harder,
Maybe if I prayed to God,
Maybe if I screamed and hollered,
Someone could show me what's wrong,

After all my fighting, my fusing and my crying too,
I know what's wrong with me,
I can't see and I can't hear,
But that's ok with me....

tripping
stumbling
forgetting how to fall
head up
back straight
staring at your
feet
disbelieving
the image staining your eye
lids

this is con
fusing
tumbling not striking
pavement
hardwood
concrete
the
bottom

hovering
just above the conclusion
knowing what the result
should
be
but the inevitable
is not 
inevitable
the perception
blurred 
by the trauma of the
fall...
