Uniformity

X. Uniformity

Crystalline lattice refracts owing none.

To this all is owed.

To this brings new light.

To some it rests on the horizon.

To others it sets.

To all it renews.

To many ever out of reach.

Premium Member Teardrops

Raindrops refract sunlight to form 
A rainbow
A teardrop refracts sunlight to form 
A colored bubble
So,when l see teardrops 
Running down your cheek
I would say 
Don't cry baby 
Cheer up
I have seen a teardrop 
With a colorful rainbow
(a bright tomorrow)

Premium Member Over the Curved Horizon

Listen to poem:
I see the horizon is not straight. 
It curves down at its ends, 
keeping the future pending, 
just out of reach, 
beyond the cliff's edge. 
It bends sharply, like water does. 
It refracts the line of expectation
into a sudden change of direction, 
tilting destiny to fall its way.

Premium Member Stained Glass Window


My window on the world resonates
with the resounding chorus of colors.
The passing light creates a montage 
of charismatic chromatic geometry.
At noon, I see the radiance of ruby,
tempering to tinge of topaz at dusk.
The kaleidoscope of transmuted light
refracts the stained rays of my longing.

Kaleidoscope Seeing



iris diffuse
colour irrelevant 
silver slivers radialize
as dark emotions pass
light  cadences 

kaleidoscope 
eyes remain core's mirrors
refracts every rainbow facet 
ascending prisms delight
iris is bridge

Grieving the Shift

Time passes, conversation and music ends,
light refracts, shimmers in water, bends.
Nails grow, hair lengthens, heads turn and bones break,
stems wilt, gardens overgrow, clouds regurgitate water from lake.
I know that things change, the erratic constant that needs be,
but this loss of you I can’t fathom, grieving the shift from us to just me.

Premium Member Narrow margins

|    From lack of reason, to quotients of densest space  
|    Through the iris of an eye, voids are commonplace  
|    Stubborn pervasive doubt, projects across the face  
|    Reassured again when mindsets find a bright place  
|    Still if one can’t see god, photons will bring a trace  
|    Filtered through life’s prism, heaven refracts apace

Premium Member The Water

Water takes the shape of any container
Like an innocent child
Refractions in water 
Look bigger and shallower
Like an illusion of the imagery world
Water absorbs any pollution
Like a stupid man
Water flows from the top to the bottom
Like the refugee
Water comes in ripples, waves, rain
Rivers, sea, lakes, and waterfalls
Like the various characters of man

Premium Member Red

The windshield wipers automatically slow down when the rain gives way to a fine drizzle. As per habit, I open the car window as I come to a rolling stop at these traffic lights. Cheap perfume assails my senses. Red refracts on the wet road.

long legs
and callipygian
sheathed in red leather 
her body was firm 
to the touch 
exhilarating
uncharted territory
my wife’s tears
the price 	
I was willing to pay

Within Sight

Sun refracts through window, raising sight 
See her standing within my gazing sight

Dry timbers lay in a pile awaiting spark
Fire ignites heartfelt joy in blazing sight

Lying on our backs to enjoy each night
Watch evening’s moon, each phasing sight

Noises abound through warm walls of home
Children amassed at play, a crazing sight

A life that could only have been imagined
Started one day with an amazing sight

Paradise Lost

you piece together
the broken shards
but cut yourself
on the secured heart

quickly it all slips
grasping at straws
not enough time
forgotten fatal flaws

smoke clears away
circus mirror refracts
the image not clear
when you look back

sleight of hand failed
magician bag of tricks
illusion that forsakes
mortality too quick

your destiny fools
thought it was tied down
paradise lost
free falling to the ground

Premium Member Key to the Highway

("Cheek to Cheek", 2024, original encaustic)

Key to the Highway

Everybody knows
Deep down in their bones
That what you see 
Is what you get

The mind being a
Conditional thing
Adopts, adapts, 
reflects, refracts

Whatever it is
We focus upon
Be it heaven 
Or be it hell

So remember this
As you make your way
That what you see 
Is what you get

But what you look for
Now there
Is the key

Premium Member Spring Allure

It has warmed to seventy degrees,
I lounge in a field of white daisies;

Composing fresh prose in solitude 
longer days create a brighter mood;

The rain leaves dew drops on petals,
a seasonal smile blooms and settles; 

Dramatic downpour soaks my hair 
it sticks to my face without a care;

Grim grey meets a thunderous glow,
light refracts now a stormy rainbow;

Jovial this sky will always nurture,
that is the essence of Spring allure.
