shimmering surfaces
in elegant intricacies
of recurring frivioities...

Twisting.... turning
Weaving my web
Of intricacies, knowledge ... beauty -
Loving the field of my seeds...

No need to rake the mind's eye ...
sowing intricacies of thorny words
There are many flowers to press
Supply nectar, soothe your weary roots
Grow comfort within your garden

Do not enter my heart
You’re bound to get lost
My tough exterior hides 
The intricacies of the inside
But if you are prepared to battle
The elements of my emotion
I will greet you at the frontline
And pray that you are victorious...

With hops, pecks and scattered flights
Eating unlucky bugs and earliest worms
Bright blue eggs holding future roosts
Nests made with symetrical intricacies
Guarded postures showing orange chests
Avian state symbols in Wisconsin trees...

in the valley, under the darkness of night
a shooting star lands at my feet
after it's cooled, I pick it up
looking at its intricacies
as I turn it over and over
a familiarity I see
what I discover, mystery uncovered
it is my dreams that landed
at my feet...

Illusory inmates I'ying internal
intricacies initiate informal
invasives identifying 
incomparable inconsistencies
ill initiated incompatibilities, incomplete
incomprehensibly Ioa-ted introverted
intellectually inadequately 
involuntarily involved iconic idealisms....

The insect hymns
press gently on the inner ears.

They hide in the umbra,
great intricacies
of chitinous clicks
and timpanis
and tiny shockwave harmonies
grooving late
into the ferocious night -

until the umbra yowls
and hoots,
and the the hunters seek the hymns....

Re:Mind-Lost but not gone
Do all minds have the capacity to return
Do the circuits die, are they replaceable
Are the intricacies of the mind too complex
for us to unearth its entire workings
Lost minds, destined never to be found
Either way, there’s still a person within!...

Introspective indecisiveness
Ignoring ideal intricacies
Intelligent indigents ignoring ideas in idleness

Sage sensuous silliness
Soaring significantly succinctly, sassily
Sashaying sensitively scoring sensibilities savagely

Words winging wildly 
Wildflowers writing winged words....

Mystique in that smile,
Ardency in those eyes,
Delicacy in porcelain skin,
Honesty in her voice, 
Uniqueness in her spirit,
Soul in her passion,
Mystery again in gestures,
Intricacies in her flaws and perfections,
Tenderness accentuates in all of her,
And again, her madding Mystique....

As I explained the nuances and intricacies of poetry and the limitations of its many forms and varying interpretations of each its spellcheque grammar and punctuation alarms flashed red as its faux eyes rolled back in its molded metal mind ball it crushed the keyboard

The warm glow of the sunset
The sweet smell of rain
A rainbow after a storm
The colours of autumn
The intricacies of a snowflake 
The smell of a rose 
The patterns on a butterfly
Wonders which question 
if God exists
The look in her eyes 
there is where I see 
without question 
of the wonders
where He exists...

More precious than crystalline trances
are singular experiences flicking 
on my mind, a spill of alabaster, chrome
and pumice-like moments with you flow back-
In rampage and elation I wander lonely
through our stardust of intricacies blown off.

Listen to poem:

in the far distance
serenity on the surface
his strength precarious
he harbors within more
questions than answers
as he ponders the intricacies
of his balancing act
of the silence deep within
of the roar of this silence
he can no longer subdue

A spirited moon
   'neath furtive glances,
      anguished mid despair
looked upon hushed
  entangled constellations 
      and heeded a warning,
for he knew well of lavishing
    recherché intricacies,
mattered naught how exquisite,
  nothing lasting could come
    of liaisons's effusive grandeur,
       betwixt clandestine stargazers...

Baptism grasps, water channels multiply surface
Scissored scenes lay platters simutaneously
Owl eyed creek spurs my metamorphosis 
Billowing claim is domain of striving trees
 

Frigid inhalation arrests latent vulnerability
Surrendour,  dove's fallen feather alleviates
Split awareness open as oyster delivers me
Vantage announced by intricacies of lace...

Scratch deeper than the surface
Look beyond the façade
Look into my depths

Discover who I am
My insecurities and my fears
My mysteries, secrets, intricacies

Unravel my layers
Each tier something new
Explore all that I am

Search my mind
Search my heart and spirit
Look into my soul

The answers are here
And I will reveal all to you
But scratch deeper than the surface...

Poets use metaphor in poetry
To tell one thing to mean another
Behind the curtain under the layers
They hide thousand meanings
Same is the case with God
In His poetry
He uses religion as a metaphor
To bring out intricacies
To tell different stories
Under each vehicle
He kept wonder
Behind each symbol
He hides astounding treasure
O man! Do not quarrel over it
For your life has been used as a tenor...

A warm front beseeched her
Sweet vocals of glittering jazz
I fell into the intricacies of riddles
Chasing the pavement of cultures
Upon her breath.
Had our tongues even met?
A memory impossible to worship
The echoes of dragon fire
searing at the base
of my tonsils
A sea surfing current of hurt,
yet a pleasurable hurt
an enjoyable suffering

No one taught me
how to fall in love

It was something
I had to experience

on my own.
Picked up

from scraps of life
with it's happenings

that did not train me
for this event.

They instructed me
in all other

aspects of existence
but never once

touched upon 
the intricacies of love

I was blind,
thrown out

into the jungle
of emotions

with all of it's
happiness and pain....

Only two miracles are worth seeing:  
The miracle of loving  
The miracle of forgiving.

But the intricacies Fate doth weave-
In commemoration for all who grieve.
Are the blessings given to rebirth-
From souls no-longer of this earth.

I look to heavens' resounding grace-
Renewed appreciation of life and my place.
Knowing as each newborn child opens their eyes-
The miracle continues, no one really dies....

An advanced man in his time
feelings tamed everything adjusted
intricacies tucked away in pockets
there was no fur, it was all in leather
nerves of steel, heart of iron
had a golden health
silver thoughts,
did not bear children,
only manufactured them
He didn't have love, he had possession
stopped being people, to be
a project... !
It was lived in pure hapiness, because happiness
he simply bought
in the market !...

The feelings I can't express
Like rain, they fall
Down from my lips
A silent song of longing
As I wait for something
To change, rise, leap, fly
But I'm stuck on the ground
Watching the trees
As they paint swirls in the wind
Intricacies boundless in the gloaming of time
As day falls to night
Dawn turns to dusk
And time passes like Autumn
Sweet while it lasts
But to dust we all return
For "Nothing gold can stay."...
