obscurities
darkness blinks afar
inert rug fronds made alive
plumes confuse stillness

In this world of obscurities
Of living ghosts
lost in chimeras
Of impossible dreams
We don't understand the magic
of a dawn
Happiness that can only be felt
With pure childhood eyes
I dream my dreams
let me stay,
forever dreaming...!...

Suffering sautées souls
Peeling away the impurities 
Revealing the obscurities
Redeeming even polishing
Character like a crystal 
Creating out of clay
A great new display
Despite mud of former day
Wiped and made
Shiny and new
A pearl birthed by world...

Astronomers behold celestial delights,
Endlessly finding glorious heavenly insights.
Joyfully keep learning more natural obscurities.
Previously quite routinely seen targets usually viewed with x-rays,
Yet zoomed in using Hubble Space Telescope, helps prove Einstein's Theory of Relativity!...

Dreams
I chase,
frustration!
Obscurities.
Disappointment looms,
your presence has no room,
it’s cluttered, hoarded regrets.
Reverie, like you, escapes grasp,
like trying to hold sand in my hands.
My dreams slipping through can never come true.

In the midst of
nothingness,
Searching through
darkness,
Embracing
loneliness,
Comprehending
vagueness,

Befriending
uncertainties,
Playing with
vulnerabilities,
Absorbing
obscurities,
Appreciating
difficulties,

Drudging
malfunctions,
Living with
illusions,
Addicted to
intrusions,
Slave of
temptations,...

One has trampled down many roads and greeted many detours and obstacles only attempt was to release and escape these webs of obscurities lured into it’s web and was transposed in many directions so bewildered and jumbled seeking one’s way of escape of obscurities. Waving the white towel of hope at obscurities’s face to convince to shed for its light of hope....

Deep the pond
sweet the water,
Tranquilly placid
nestled in safe abode,
Nourished by tears of yester-years.

Vast the spaces
of times immemorial,
Condensed to serve
in segmented places,
Striving and continually
seeking the birthing waters
of the placid pool.

Vain the vanities
of immortal entities,
Chasing shadows
in spiraling obscurities
floundering, for a way to find....

Divine instrument, is poetry
and only poetry with her magic vision,
who describes
the indescribable,
defines the indefinable,
exults the verisimilitude
of the simple, because
exceeds any limit
of the believable and the incredible
breaking the shackles
  of the mysteries..
Simplifying and demystifying
the obscurities by clarifying
any and all secrets
exposing emotional beauty
of poetry...!...

Oh well...Here I go again...
Whispering obscurities to the paper with my pen

Sleeping slowly - The lights are always on
Feeding my vanity
with your memories long gone

It's always just like this
A flame once burned 
Damning the righteousness
Of the things you said
Or rather I didn't say

The lives that we live - or another rainy day

The phone rings and time talks
My day passes and the wick is all I've got

Rearranging, multiplying and transforming Greek alphabets are strewn across, under, and within the far field of my vision.

They are all bound up with cartoon snakes and quickly creeping ivy with small red leaves.

I brush them with my hand and they sigh.

They reveal different things, which obscure others, the obscurities reveal still more things to become obscured and revealed.

I cannot read them or understand them,

Only follow and behold....

Overwhelmed
Becoming obsessive as I observe the opposition of our oasis
Obliged, an overcast of oppression opts the decomposition of the orb we occupy
Outgrown and over-encumbered in this ordeal
Obey the odds
An oath to overt the oncoming outbreak of death on our omnificent organism
We are offspring of organic obscurities and cannot operate as orphans
We must object those who oppose and obliterate our bountiful orchards
An ode to the origin of our oval orbit...
