Even blind perceives
       that there are another worlds
      besides his blindness...

My mind is inactive
When my heart is on a quest
Then my body perceives
What my soul requests...

He who question's
        His own intensity
Perceives his own
   Destiney,
And reverts' to that
       Simple,
Classical nothing ness

Who's the you? Who's the me?
Who's the who, who is foreseen?
Who's who, who perceives the dream?
Who's the me, who's the you?
Who is who, who brews the coup?...

If one, 

Fills his heart with pure love, 

A poet becomes at once, and 

The world he perceives 

The way our Lord sees it from above:

AS ONE!

Bittersweet
A misnomer
Like salty chocolate
Or
White the new Black.

Face value
Only
Cut or dried
Perceives.

A severed-meat
Kiln
Hanging
Dry and tasteless
More
Soot on the tongue
Less
Beauty in spaces....

Nothing remains indifferent in this life ...
Nor the leaf that falls from the tree,
because someone perceives it and watches it ...
Not the man who dies
at the final of life ... God everywhere
it is always present! !...

CAT

A cat, unshy,
Will wander by
Eyeing with curiosity
The abject, bending,
Condescending
Object it perceives as me.
I bow and scrape
From knee to nape
Hoping to gain its amity,
But though I try
To win it, I
Know it still thinks 
The worst of me....

The heart amounts to be.
Love is that amount enabled to see.
Hate is the contempt relieved.

The heart proceeds to beat.
Survival is that rhythm to breathe.

The mind perceives to be.
Adornment is that perception conceived.
Discourse is remorse besieged.

fearful to walk the talk, we balk
mindful eye perceives ego stalk
something’s not right, inner conflict
being tendency to resist
ascension awaits, yet we gawk

A fawn 
caught
in a dawning
of a morning
kiss,
Head rise
and espies
high skies
sniffs,
Find edibles
accessible
incredibles
bliss,
It jerks
one lurks
now alert
amiss,
harm perceives
imminent believes
escapes heaves
dismiss.

Now perched on high my eye perceives

Reflected amber rays of light

Crimson orange and golden leaves

That still adorn the trees so bright

Soon their dying a travesty

Heard from a distant Winter's call

So revel in the majesty

And the kaleidoscope of Fall...

edified soul lights bleak life in darkness
perceives divine grace within... 
boundless bliss enfolds life

Spectrum wavelength giving off hues
Eyes drink in any color they choose

Glorious rainbows catch the light
Joy and hope dancing into our sight

Mind may limit but soul perceives  
A vibrant union the heart believes

Let us pray that we can see
  through the other's eyes to a degree

How he perceives, and what she feels
  instead of 'I'll,' consider 'We'll'

Pray for empathetic ears to hear
  the heart of speech, to draw us near

Pray that we on this agree
  two free wills may disagree...

There is a great difference in how suffering is seen by

The common man and by the wise:

The first perceives it as a calamity threatening to destroy him

The second regards it as an opportunity to grow and to thrive!

sky predicts all things
re-affirms approaching light~
reader of the stars

wise owl perceives much
velvet visions manifest~
sees in crystal ball

woman of your dreams
royal regal demeanor~
a princess no doubt

someone just like me
your fantasy real enough~
steps into your life...

These are people?
These are people.
On the television.
I need redundance
To remind myself
I surmise my sight
Perceives wraith’s 
I peer through them
Clean glass onions
Fermenting the soup
Soaking up malleable
Lonely hearts breaking
Like glass that melts
In the quiescent horizon...

The world around us
In shades of light – soft or bold
That stirs emotions 

As the mind through eye
Perceives these variations
Giving them meaning

As it attempts to
Mix ciaos with order to
Create harmony

We wrap up September,
All tied with a chill,
And wait for October,
With baskets to fill

Of apples and pumpkins 
And bright orange leaves,
Plus all those aromas 
Each person perceives.

The calendar waits
For the page to get turned
As we welcome the weather,
From summer, we’ve earned....

Although, having split personality 
in his tiny palms, 

he gleams...
and perceives life 
without fear 

but with warmth 
of a mystical womb 

that lures him
to enter a menagerie
of words, 

entertaining 
his shadow, not drunken--
but a bit drenched,

to huddle not 
on a cold concrete like 
a sleeping failure...

Around us
              fate circles us...
             We attempt to control it,
              but the fate of the world is
             uncircumstantial, perceives
             further than us..
             that's why we walk
             oblivious to...
             that's why we are moths
             hitting the light... !...

I just now had a little thought that swiftly sped away.
It was a "Senior Moment" and I have some every day.
I try to introduce a friend, but can't recall her name.
Remembering it at midnight is too late and not the same.
If she perceives my addled state, my friend portrays no sign.
Not worried I forgot her name, she's trying to remember mine....

Darkness stirs the senses...
The smell translate the taste
only by the sharp odor...
And vice versa...
Touch perceives the word
unspoken, but whispered...
The sense of sound well
expanded ,frames
the taste, the smell and
the touch...
Surprising is 
the  sense of sight  in obscurity...
With  inward look,
to all other senses
absorbs... !...

in the left corner of the shadow
below the darkest spot
something hidden watches us
eyes black like deep lakes
It looks like a dream but it's a nightmare
we are going down the steps
into the dirty world
the darkness dares and dominates everything
because it perceives and pursues
the scent of absurd fear:
our mind wandering
inside it's filthy alleys...
