drift into oblivion


sediments the sea

reversing wind 
changing precipitations
asymmetric heating of the
aching wounds.. uplift the colliding
walls of peace.. sediments of ma-
rine planktons.. music of reeds rai-
n on the naked belly of the thirsty earth...

Sediments of life experiences may seem precarious
One’s faith and hope that they may be found meritorious
As one lies six feet underground
The hereafter will only be compound
If the Creator’s judgment finds you sinfully nefarious...

In crystal maze, 
miracles are honed
from mother milk 
and father bone~
Memories cackling,
mocking faces of time
uphill flowers brutal climb
suckling from sparkle sky...
at pinnacles of their breath, 
gently wither into death.
Memories roost silently
in sediments of time~...

HOUSE OF AGONY

Dreamt sleep with dread
Lustreless content in situ 
Unable to control in nascent
Those that verge in collapse
At starry edge to planets.

Sinking into abysmal sea
Downing into bottomless
A space with flying swallows
Talking with beaked sentiments
Sorry for their onslaught 
 Murky waters and sediments....

Sediments are yet to be cleared
From the window sill of the days bygone
Handprints of an owner's ignorance
Remains carved on the glass alone.

Fossils of a lively refuge
Still masked by dust veils
Home, where once honey grew
Now marks the tombstone of loves's grave.

Novelty springs under 
The eternal fountain of life
The creatures of days bygone 
Stop to greet the future hive....

The banks along the river control the flow
each depositor deposits sediments of sentiments
sharing wealth of journeys winding endurance....
every gurgling ripple along with tumbling stone
light sounds forecasting future growths continuation,
as the water's song endear us.....
....waters nourishment adheres us,
into crystaline forms from carbon copy,
..........awaiting final polishing effect.........

The reds and oranges
blending high and low
melting into the ground
where the lake water flows.

Heaven must be here,
right here on Earth.
I couldn't imagine such a place
with the sun and the dirt.

My vacation slips by
quicker than I thought.
Taking with me
more peace than I had sought.

This place will live forever
in the recess' of my mind.
The sediments of Sedona,
a home I loathe to leave behind....

Fossil, lithified archive of archaic organic entities
the engraved vestiges of geologic deluge obscure
the petrified signature of fragile existence lost
the lineage weaved by the strands of evolution.

The broken life buried in sediments of strife
covered by the debris of crumbled time past.
Even before the grave is dug skeletal life’s relic
turns into forgotten fossil in the living world.

bubbles...
expand and rotate due to
heats energies ballooning within...

changing in three dimensions at once and...
imaging as trefoil knots...stretching time-space
conservation limits till...the bubble gives birth

to smaller spheres each...with a trefoil expanding...
as a temporary three dimensional...time 'eddy' being that
manifests change as...sediments...with respect the currents of time


stan's sand...

Consumed by over importance of identity, the said voidness of imagined emptiness may be found to be contoured by sediments of ego, camouflaged as surrendered stillness. As long as there be size & measure, ego is manifest. As long as there be fear or desire, ego is manifest. As long as there be attachment, ego is manifest.

We dance in a trance
Rhythm beat of innocence
Divine love parlance

I know languages count by silent lexicons

I know oceans measure by waving hands

I know serpents poison by miseries

I know clouds mould by whispers

I know rivers clutter by sediments

I know oaks augur by heights

I know blood oils by fossils

I know epics endure by echoes

I know ashes wither by winds

I know castles coil by curls

I know hells hasten hubris

I know I know, my ignorance by ignorance...

Literally placed bush flowers in his hair,
He figuratively placed flowers in my hair.
Methodical giggles all around;
Whilst shaking prized petals down.

Downwards spiralling to the ground
Now sediments of floral mound
The clock it ceased forevermore
When love was such and sin was spore.

Braving and craving hence with wreath
All those flowers from beneath
Literally placed a wreath on his head
For such a king I breathed to bed....

Noon, we’re marching on our fields
Inwards, our river brings forth her blessings
Grin, while you’re mining off our seas
Explore, don’t wash the sediments off our shores  
Reflect, while you smile to repay our deeds

Don’t dim the sunny side of our land
Endangered, but our sons strive with pains
Lost, but we found the light to illuminate our paths
That we may perchance find the magic wand
Against the enemies of our souls and spirits...

Archie had words for each situation,
he would say them without hesitation;
like my sediments meat head,
or in a pigs dye, he said;
my bus has sailed was his explanation !
