Ban When They Can
Get away with when they can,
Seems to be the role of a man;
Hair receded;
Still succeeded;
This bad habit should try to ban.

noise of thought having receded
base instincts too have been weeded
all that cascades within is bliss
we know now God is all there is
our mind and heart, to Him ceded

They thought would never end
but was counted breaths
sun receded
lost shadows
it colors the eye were hawthorn
it was destined to fade
we know most remote
unfortunately the nearest

pushed to the cliff's edge
by demonic voices
one step shy
of tilting over
plunging to my demise
I receded
a thin hope
pulling me back
transforming my tears
into diamond words
shining in the darkness

Rainbows know no trickery.
They are but a reflection of
God
Himself
in a heaven-sized water droplet.
A promise made a millennium ago
as the floods receded after 40 days.
The purest logic sent from above.

Early morning shadows like mists
Creep across the lower ridges
Settle down into the hollows
Like the pervasive poverty
Of the hill country.
By noon the mists have lifted
The shadows receded
But poverty remains.

To turn gray hair proceeded
While line of it had receded
Might have looked distinguished
Hair color was extinguished
More dye added when needed.

Limericks are a real challenge.

Would you back?
If qualified
If pre approved
If an outstanding fate awaits?
What about now
Listen to friendly voices
A mirage by other means
Let me step outside
The sun is beating down
Space has erased
Distance has receded
Time has eclipsed
Just a dial tone....

The sight of the blue water
Shook me with great fear.
A small pool turned into an ocean
And I cried loudly in tension.?
The sight of the blue water
Was one I had to savor.
Fear and tension receded
While bravery and determination succeeded
The sight of blue water
Finally became much sweeter.

Thirst for love aflame in our heart
Erst stirrings of lust receded
Burst of bliss each moment does start
First things first, lower mind weeded
Residual attachments fade
Central funnel within aglow
Brutal clear truth; call spade a spade
Miracle dawns on hearts mellow

My hair has receded and my belly grown fat
There’s hair growing in my ears and I don’t like that
My joints ache all the day and I have troubles with peeing
I’m tired all the time and have glasses for seeing
Gravity has taken over putting life in a downward spin
No wonder I enjoy drinking a little wine and gin

As we put putted out
into the estuary, the
sounds of the city
receded, the tang of
sea filled my nostrils
and the water turned
from brown to aqua.
Danny put out the lines
but all was quiet so I
whittled a piece of spruce,
letting the shavings drift
in our wake, as I sucked
a hard yellow candy
waiting for my sockeye.

From the moment of my creation
I have adorned myself
for your arrival
Ten thousand days I have
walked out to meet you
Island have receded
Mountains have crumbled
Rivers have dried
Only my body has expanded
beyond itself
To spread from Sunrise to Sunset
covering the earth
Wherever you are now
You are with me

Big waves
the waves came in, went out
when the rocking abated
her heartbeat came back to normal
soon,too, the glistening sun receded
seashells and seaweed came, and went ashore
but it was the big waves that came in, and went out
starting as a ripple and curling
at the end, crashing, that made her shout
connie pachecho

I know I may be kidding myself,
many see it as absurd.
But just because they think that way...
does it kill the written word?
Should I not write in rhyme,
Because it's no longer formal?
When did expression through the art of words,
become so strict and normal?
If the melody has died,
and the ancient bards subside...
then I shall mourn the loss of beauty,
that has receded into the tide.

The bliss current gently purrs
Within the Sushumna erect
As of resonation chakras stir
A rapturous throb we detect
Presence has no preference
And ego urges having receded
Innocence dances in exuberance
Enjoying fruits long ago seeded
As magnetism within heightens
Pillar of love & light within aglow
All lifetron pulsations brighten
In spacial silence & stillness slow

Blissful tranquil calm descends upon us,
as boundaries slowly begin to blur.
Ego having receded, makes no fuss,
as we tune into vibrations upper,
where the mist of divine bliss does hover.
The shift within is not an attainment;
what it is, is a quiet contentment.
There resides no separate self within
beseeching any egoic attainment.
What remains, is throbbing bliss elation.

I'm mailed sweet birthday cards
full of warmest regards …
but with vision so blurred
I just can't read a word,
I long to be twenty again …
then wife bakes me that cake
so a wish I may make
though I don't have the breath
to assure candles' death,
now forty sounds all right to me …
she next coos on my lap
and proposes we nap,
but yearning's receded,
in bed I'm impeded,
I'll settle for sixty, okay?

Light Verse
Last night…
When I closed my eyes
I saw a long black hallway
And a white door in the distance
Illumined only by faint candlelight
Which flickered desperately
Against the oppressive darkness
I walked alone towards the door
But with each step it receded
Its shape shifting into shadows
My vision blurred by panic and tears
I stood paralyzed by despair
Until I vanished into my own night

To Israel Kamakawiwo, IZ
Tell him the sea has receded and the stars are jumping on its bare bed.
Tell him that history was a seagull hungering our names.
Tell him, if he is silent, if he isolates himself, God appeased the volcano,
created for us this island.
Tell him that I wait for him under the almond tree, barefoot and still tousled,
with shimmering hoops. Hawaii, Izzy surfing clouds, playing ukulele.

I boarded my hot air balloon
And set my sights on high,
I turned the flame to maximum
And headed for the sky.
Below, the land receded
As I joined the mighty blue,
The sky was my ocean,
Heavenwards I flew.
Earthbound things now disappeared
I embraced serenity,
As I sailed the atmosphere
Contentment called on me.
Alone, but not lonely,
Detached, but still aware.
Truly I'd found heaven,
As I drifted in the air.

Now that we know that there is no one here,
with ego cravings having receded,
baseless fears and dark desires disappear,
since will to God we have fully ceded,
with soft whispers of conscience now heeded.
Our void-centric stance invokes magnetism,
igniting head to toe, mind-body prism,
with a healing mist, fully charged with bliss,
whence we become light, affirmed in each ism,
that we may then exclaim, “I’m all of this!”

i cherish the days the flames had receded
abominations, full of scorn, forever retreated,
their will to taste the flesh, all but depleted.
a relationship built on death, no longer needed.
for passion and yearning, i never once fought,
a struggle, an attempt, forever forgot,
the affection, my inner soul, blooms, all but has rot.
bamboozled and betrayed, what a tender plot.

I do not know?
Receded water exposing precious gems,
father and daughter walking through
this gold mine to get to the water's edge,
picking each gem with a perfect shape,
turning them in our hands to get the right feel,
then pulling back and letting them fly,
Skip, skip, skip... across the water they go,
laughter fills the air,
again and again...
skip, skip, skip, skip
look how far they go,
we compete, we laugh, we love...
precious gems and precious time.

Prose
Athough you were near me
I was looking for you
Behind the trees,
In the paddy fields,
By the village pond's shore
Where long ago
The pond shimmered.
Then with gentle steps
You came to fetch water
Old melodies receded,
leaving no records behind.
Witnesses of your
former charm have disappeared.
How quickly time flew ,
how much the atmosphere
has changed .
Yet, hope persists in me.
Promise of the new days
in this old age
remains in my mind.
