Death Sea Unmarried

Waves sometimes like Wives 
To rise and to fall again and again
Violating the law of peace
Death Sea opted to be silent and a bachelor

Poetic Message

Poetry per se always
             send images unless
           not  being  captured,
             co-opted... is not
              almost anything.

March To June

It was a thirty-one day March to get to May
Then when April approached I opted to stay
But us living together
Was all stormy weather
Until June smiled brightly and took me away

How Low-Tech Canya Go :-'Insert Disallowed Question Mark Here'-:

The two for one price deal read “Open here”
with slick dotted lines and sharp arrows clear.
But false perforations
foiled nails, teeth and patience.
Surrendered, she opted for pop tab beer.

Old don for a new dawn

In public tanTrump Don has won
As people opted for new dawn,
Voted less a winner,
More against old banner,
Don Quixote has returned as don.

Cinquain

I might prefer time to alter my line,
Ends up replacing ofences against good takes.
That aims perfection to surplus my present,
Merrily got up as a cause to those opted processes,
And now I am what I am with no more retakes.

Zen Mode

having opted to wallow in the shallow we feel fully, live fully, the sunken vibration this too is a pulse and each pulse has a pause the void of cessation is where we choose to dwell 27-November-2022

Zero In

Anticipating, beckoning, casting demonic, enviable fury, gazing hungrily inside, jutting kerosene, littering masses never opted, putrefying quills, reverting sympathy, turning upside-down…vaccinating whim, x-raying yesteryears…zero in

The Homeless

The Homeless Miracle Man 10/5/2024 Many years the sidewalk was their only bed. Most never opted for anything better instead Their pillow a stone, Most died all alone, Today in a grave with no stone at their head.

Sprinter miles apart

Life's long ride 
To which,
I opted for smaller tides
That comes and goes
Like latecomers, summer night

Seeing myself passing over the potion
Summer changes into winter
And now I am with the ocean
With no direction, just a sprinter

Santa Had a Change of Aloha

There's Santa that came to Waikiki bay
On an outrigger canoe Christmas Day
He wore a grass hula skirt
And a large Aloha shirt
His course went astray he opted to play

Keep out of the kale and the captain’s keg
Lazy light foot like you could lose your leg
Miserable moments mastered by minion Meg
Never needless, yet not necessary without a doubt
Olive Orangutan outrageously opted out
Providing persnickety persimmons a playful pout

Suffer :: Clogyrnach

Suffer 

Are we losing faith on other?
Can we depend on another?
How can we neglect
age-old faith, respect?
Sans feeling, we'll suffer. 
~x~

Reason 

Mischievous actions done toward
own benefit, others not cared.
Opted corruption,
ensure disruption
Can I do, what's required?
~x~

Fish Tales

’Twas Jonah the Lord God did teach,
When orders he opted to breach.
God’s porpoise not thwarted,
Escape was aborted,
With Jonah spit up on the beach.

If the fish had refused God right then,
Having tasted the flavor of men,
An immoral cetacean
That fell from creation,
Or a case of Original Fin?

Playful Ascent

we opted for a want
to create a slight slant
in as an imbalance
although with nonchalance
that energies kinetic
pulse of love aesthetic
induces polarities to converge
manifesting a bliss surge

within

desires to rest lain
our wabi-sabi stain
shaped in line of duty
enhances our soul’s beauty

Silence sets soul free

Upon this earth realm we have opted to dwell,
encased in a decaying form doomed to die
but myriad desires cast on us a spell,
making us believe as true, what is a lie,
being the sole reason why our heart does sigh,
although within this lucid dream, we are free,
if we but unshackle heart from our mind tree.

Zen mode

pain and joy
come to body
which we are not
yet since we are here 
we feel all the vibrations
as they arise and subside
which is what soul opted for
when we signed up for earth life
to imbibe wisdom by touch
in harsh winds of duality  
and with this knowing
we rest in quietude 
recognising life
as a dream

Homage

A pious, mankind’s god,
Opted for his abode,
A secluded place
Amid untrodden ways

The white surf crown,
Behoves the emerald green ocean,
With the silver- sand beach,
Where he used to preach.

On that lone shore he left behind,
His foot prints on the strand,
Even the rising tide would not beat,
But pay homage to them and retreat!

And So I Cried

I send you flowers by the drove 
and all my fantasies 
My heart beat in a steady rove  
and all my love;
You opted to postpone me love ,   
your sweet affection 
was denied, and so I cried; 
While all the flowers in my grove
dried up and died,  
I gathered up my words 
and all my fantasies 
and took them  home.

Probable Options In Life

Within mundane days
Countless options haunted once
Until best opted

Nothing rise nor fall
Only learning lessons gained
Real experience 

Time and space don't bind
Anything comes in mind's eye
Heights and slopes achieved

Sparks of lights mingled
Consciousness creates matter
Reality without

Broader perception
Discerned beyond paradox
Life is a pattern.

Optic Clouded Hues

Intense Tense

Just tense,
Doing many things,
At once,
Not one of them,
having wee bit sense,
many of them went astray,
tense began turning grey,
now error was the there more,
only a little correct came to fore,
now he was hopping mad,
as the tense became red,
he could have bust,
had he not opted for rest,
no sooner had he cooled,
he did another wrong,
and was again,
sounding loud the tense gong.

End of May

Peace, tranquility, and magnificent scope Infused with endless light and hope. Since we're nearing the cease of May. Family and close friends also qualify. While time passes without notice. We may become lost in focus. Until they were hit by a sudden storm. Urging us to look for shelter to stay warm. And pay attention to our environment. Opted to uphold but lend a compliment.

Heed a Volcano Warning

May 18th, 1980
Mt. St. Helen erupted.
It was expected, many had escaped a bad fate.
Some opted to stay, wanting to go down in glory.
Two thousand square miles of trees were destroyed.
Mt. Pinatubo erupted eleven years later.
Both of these events reminiscent of the destruction of Pompeii.
Where twenty thousand people were not warned.
Many discovered permanently covered in molten lava
Volcanoes are no joke; heed her warnings my friend.

That Thou Art

What would it be like to transcend space-time,
where we’re both the one and also the two,
meaning the all that is, feeling each chime,
as heartbeats in all forms does so renew
and yet one with oneness, is pure like dew?
This question cannot be answered by mind,
which works on fragmented concepts that bind
but if we shift, making silence our muse,
we transform as God’s breath, loving and kind,
becoming the flame, heart opted to choose.
