the light that lights all lights
within our being appears
our heart is now quiescent 
thus the universe disappears...

The dust
Out comes 
This quiescent light
Out, forges this 
Journey of life
What matters must...

Wild wind whistles through frozen trees,
bursts of silence turn leaves quiescent.

Rain.... come softly, falling, misting, 
Irrigate this thirsty land
Water quiescent seeds
Buried deep within their earthen tombs 
Of mud and clay...

The quiescent heart
Sleeps in a benumbed setting
For many decades
Waiting for the flame that melts
The ice that serves as shelter

Nubile love seeking
mature adventures.
Pulling into its irresistible appeal,
without control,
beyond fathom.
Quiescent desires regains consciousness,
compelling to live again....

A quiescent quiver
haunted the quagmire,
a quandary of purpose
overshadowed the quest.
The quadrangle protected
its secrets in silence.

Seasons
of emptiness-
barren,desert dry
poetry can lie
     undisturbed
dormant on this page.
 a dead object ‘til
the cadence
         of a voice
 intones
 instils
&
 thus 
    becomes alive...

My heart sleeps.
I lead it to, tell it to,
Want it to, beg it to. 
Slumbering, breathe 
Painlessly in and out. 
In… and out…
In… and out…
Quiescent, breathe
Painlessly in and out.
Sleep my secret, sleep....

You drifted into my ambience, on a light summers breeze 
  I'd never seen such perfection, carried with so much ease
  We barely interacted, though our eyes may just have met
  Quiescently touching my heart, a moment I'll never forget

the soul have fresh eyes
of humble stars holy light
upon this shining night
shall let your heart
hold the quiescent 
earth chamber walls
thus fulfill the 
sacred path towards 
a merciful and a forgiving God
O Magnum Mysterium
the soul have eyes and
seek your almighty grace...

When I learned what harmony is
I learned how to survive
Gossipers' gossips 
They painted me lies
And so they put me
behind their quiescent shadows
Yet my life is completely fine
I care nothing more but myself
Don't care if they soar their names high.

On autumn trees the garnet leaves amass
Predestined flocks of birds to there alight
Quiescent in stiff gusts of October
Rosaceous in the sun's reclusive rays

Silent butterflies pirouette to earth

A lone caterpillar
quiescent inside the cocoon
did not want 
to emerge from it
as a colorful butterfly
showing her beauty
since the flowers don’t bloom,
atmosphere foul and corrupt.
She liked to remain 
in deep slumber
inside the cocoon 
not emerged metamorphosed
out of it.

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...

Bitter Nightshade 

Too late now for an Intercessor--
My red, Luscious, Bittersweet berries 
Have done their work...and I'm Quiescent...
Ambivalent to your Tactile ruse 
Seen as the Quintessence and Arcane. 
Your Flamboyant tryst sealed my Immolation.

Kindling
Cradle by wind
Morph into flames 
Crescending melody
unites both spirit and soul
Refining

Seasoned                                
Embers simmer 
Tempered cooling
Immutably alive
though silence overshadows
Quiescent

                     Peaceful, quiescent.
                     Evening descends, heart ascends.
                     Soul touched, moonlight blends.

Sky tinged with phosphorescence
  Moon pale, convalescent
    Incandescent lunar crescent

Adolescent lips meet in acquiescence
  Hopes blaze, steamy flourescence
    Hush! thy quiescent quintessence

Shy effervescence, her backdrop incalescence
  Tumescence lurks too, fraught essence
    In Love's Mirror of Evanescence...
