Short Receptors Poems

we emit signals of light
every thought shines a beacon
we still have our receptors

but....can we still find the switch in the dark?

healing proffered 
to unwilling receptors
pauses in the bardo

love employs no force
and so it waits
for eternity if needed

time yields to love

How is it possible
    What is its secret
 
  It has no eyes
    It has no brain

  No receptors
  No signs of life 
    whatever

  Yet here it is
  This blank page
    godlike

  Staring a hole
    into my soul...

Air laden 
with the fecundity of spring,
sweet, powdery life brushing every
passing wing and foot stalled
on a budding stem, 
receptors greedily unfurled 
in vast arrays
to snare pollen dancing
on a breeze
though leaving too much 
to float my way and be wasted
on a sneeze....

be you
free and breezy
like a flower dancing
why do you fear
she was dissecting
stimulus of pain
in receptors of hidden love
overlapping signatures
of past granulations
whom do you fear
break the shackles
she was caressing
the strings of my broken heart
dynamic energy  released
open vast space content...

A baby is a bundle of jangling receptors
    a limb-wiggling curiosity machine
  Equipped to record and retain every sensation
    with nodes and neurons labyrinthine

  We watch her nap and feed
    pray she gets the sleep she needs
  While deep inside her, a learning explosion
    moves mighty mountains, fills vast oceans...

This chemical cocktail
with neurotransmitters
pinging and bathing in sweet serotonin
like honey gone melted
transcended, eccentric
compulsory eyes are concocted and bent
Henna tattoos 
from a black bellied bowl
still glittering red, crushing dust in the lungs
Bottled receptors
invisible potion
fizzy, instinctive, I want you around....

humble feet and serving hands
entwine as energy bands
bliss pierces body vectors
all nodes willing receptors

there is no doing we do
as rapture does so renew
tip of nose joins the dance
towards whom we shyly glance

such then is our ordained fate
feeling how chakras gyrate
each breath ushering bliss rise
beheld in childlike surprise...

                                            BElieving in life
                                            Helping plants and flowers grow
                                            Queen, Workers, and Drones
                                            Big odorant receptors
                                            Swarming sweet fertility...

Rows of receptors positioned just so
     to capture signals from galaxies aglow
   Six decades, billions spent, not one signal yet
     not a peep of protest nor an ounce of fret... 

   Signs and wonders we all see every day
     of great changes in nature's immutable ways
   Arctic whales in France, crocodiles on beaches
     Who thinks about what this teaches...

Muladhara wheel of Brahma the beginning
Sahasara-Bindu soma receptors celebratory 
Anahata sees energies in divine union igniting
Making the seeming complex look elementary

Kundalini energy divine both free and gridlocked
In an energy upsurge vertically looping our form
Mind upon beholding this divine miracle shocked
Seeing sacred geometry within the benign storm...

(This write inspired by a poem by Panagiota Romios, "The Magic of The Night")

Though we think of ourselves as singular, we are also communal, drawing from communal consciousness. The flip-side, we are also distracted by the hustling, the strife of a working day. At night they dream...we write!~ their sleeping dreams, fantasies our dawns for inspiration, tuneful-receptors-firing-poetic-alive!...

Weightless feeling, remembrance of something new
Total disregard for pain receptors, a tangled wire
A recaptured moment in time, a retaken picture
A rescind into misery, but it is okay. It’s normal
Applause for the inner vacuum, devouring entirely
A recap on events that have yet to take place
Some call it seeing into the future. “Prophecies” 
But the truth of the matter is, history repeats itself...

He told me " the pain is all in your mind" 
So I hit him in the head and said "it's in yours now too" 

Deep breaths and bitten lips 
as I try to walk away 
one more pill to dull the pain 
how long can suffering stay 

opiate receptors relaxed 
there's a soothing in the air 
calm has flanked hostility 
and lies within the fear 

barren paths of crisis crossed 
where love has up and gone 
filing out in feeble steps 
no one's won or lost...

Master of probabilities,
inventor of worlds poised 
before being collapsed 
into the real,
hovering almost 
in a perpetual quantum state.
Where are You ?

Are you hiding 
in a fuzzy cloud of words,
beneath a clever disguise
of masks or have you simply
broken yourself down
into elemental parts 
and scattered them throughout
the parallel worlds
of your poems which,
like crazy mirrors, stretch
and strangely entertain 
the receptors in our
dimensionally challenged brains....
