after the guns stop
flowers from love letters fall
soft on no man’s ground

no glory be found in this 
quietus of butterflies

Zapping your xylophone
While viewing unhappiness
The still reverberating quietus
Pounds on my limbo.
Kings jump in high garters
Feathered elands dive
Catching beautiful aardvarks....

Our PS poet whose pen name is US
Invented a nice poem-form, quietus
Smitten by his superb styles
My trials have gone for miles
Now, I need to take more iron plus.

I am usually quite happy.
My life an all American Rhapsody. 
Your cruelty fathomless.
Bringing a quietus to my soul.
Spend an eternity with you?
No...
Consider this...
The End of our little story......

if I could, I would but I can’t, so shan’t 
enslaved by ego, I have endless wants
     yet when the end draws nigh
     deep sigh is our goodbye
nothing more to flaunt, as death itself daunts

There is a box,
out there,
for me,
from unknown land,
and unknown tree.


'Til quietus reached,
we 
will 
not 
fasten.



But I know,
one day,
you 
will 
hold 
me,
with all the intimacy of a long lost friend....

As Autumn delays, I await 
Winter's crystal snowflakes
With delight, I anticipate
Skating on frozen lakes

Golden leaves turning red
Bare tree limbs I will dread
But I will look ahead 

To chillier days
As Autumn delays...

I still awake with the words 'Why'
The only colour a burnt black
The only sound
The clocks distorted whine

A cup of tea tastes bitter
When accepted by stained lips
Last nights tears bid for revival
As life again begins without you...

Within life’s rhapsody
a fathomless quietus
- eternity – 
telling its story.

I stroll, serene, among the trees,
Ascend a gentle hill.
Sun on the face, a subtle breeze,
Enhance my sense of thrill.

Yet all does pale compare,
For she awaits me there:
Graceful curves, wavy hair.

Beside my Queen,
I stroll, serene....

Boomerang returns to doer
Karmic retribution 
Allow God to be the mover
Optimal solution 

Let not ego decoy 
Relax, have fun, enjoy
Embrace and imbibe joy

Desire sprang
Boomerang

Serenity by cessation
Let go off, to get to
Vibrancy in meditation 
Bliss throbs within renew

No ego borne ennui
In childlike playful spree
We are, here and now free

Priority
Serenity

Is hades your sheol,
Quietus' staging post,
A chasm to separate
Paradise from hell-

Will you await alongside the lake,
Resurrection's second death-
Or be named in the book of life,
A Christian shibboleth.

Yellow chakra, seat of Rudra
Located at navel
Adrenaline little extra
Courage does enable

Peaked, pulsating power
With benign bliss shower
That that does empower

We sink if we have a seeking
For an enablement 
Hark from shadows, ego peeking
Stirring discontentment 

Trusting currents divine
Let us gently align
Under the oneness sign

Eyes blink
We sink

Are we ready to surrender
To let go of desire
Beholding in childlike wonder
Bliss that soul does aspire 

God search priority
Tranquil serenity
Bliss continuity

Hold mind steady
Are we ready

Life in motion, we each cognise
Why-for seeking outcome
Ceasing to size, let’s vaporise
Pathway to God’s kingdom

Perfect geometry 
Tranquil serenity
In continuity

Soma nectar pours from Bindu
Unending is the flow
As bliss ignition does renew
Our joyous heart mellow

Our completeness vibrant
Soul glow luminescent 
Countenance radiant

Feel, to know; rest analysis
Hesitation stifles
All doership is paralysis
Embrace Gods miracles

At play within, thunder
Behold, swirling wonder
Rising from down under

Heart aglow
Feel, to know
