I surrender, swept away in this storm...

...inspired by M by Seamus Heaney


Her cranium, its bumps and hollows
cradles secrets stored beneath,
neurons firing, never tiring
of their journeys to belief.

Thin vibrations mold, embolden,
prophecies, cunabula
suffuse the soul, engage the spirit
of the tortured Akhmatova....

The music of wind whistles in the air
Freedom flows in rolling rhythm resounding
The birds in the blue carry the song on their wings.

The music of silence suffuse the soul 
Tranquility ripples in the pulse of peace mute
The petals of the mind fold the stillness absolute....

through gray

         indecision of
lassitude,

is purity    found
in a
     colorless hollow    suffuse

though, 

beauty still calls 
              of weary song

somnolent, 
I
          fall to my knees

crystalline 
    tear drops

I find.....

I am the river’s rush

Confused in mad scramble,

until your open sea’s

calm vastness welcomes me - 

You suffuse me with warmth.

Roses suffuse tired eyes with blooms,
serrated thorns, currently pruned
her depleted heart beats double time,
delicate, childlike, state of mind

cries red petals divulging pain,
stepping outside historic chains
raises noble sword in warrior stance ~
fights for justice, divine truth dance....

Ethereal bliss mists suffuse my form ~
I surrender, swept away in this storm

I claim Holy Spirit as my true Self ~
As I walk, the path appears by itself

As I be to become, with pure love one ~
Heart radiates light of the central sun

Oh worthy hermit, simply pause the cause ~
Melding with silence, obeying God’s laws...

Long gone, the flowers
  graceful heralds of Spring
In yon meadow, a lone crow
  awaits a new blanket of snow

No monarchs fill the air
  tree branches vacant stare
The dreary dull colors
  suffuse hearts with despair

Why, late in December
  is winter's cupboard still bare
No ice ponds or snowmen
  or sleep for the bear...

dusk brings about a silence 
 so deafening 
 as if the sun made an alliance 
 with the evening 
   
 darkness engulfs it’s right 
 it fights and scatters it’s orange and red hues 
 the battle lost with the night 
 brings blackness suffuse 
   
 with the light at bay 
 to regain its might 
 she waits for a new dawns day 
 for the undivided light...

Without you in my life Oh again and again
Like fish out of water my love is having pain!

I am keen to go out of your sight so very much
But fate brings me to you and doesn’t let me touch!

I try to forget you but you are like glue
That sticks on my soul so I can’t forget you!

My eyes suffuse with tears every now and then
When I think you are the ink and I am a pen!...

The last rays of the setting sun
Suffuse the western sky
With a rosy glow so splendid
It warms my solitude.
Fingers of the varying colors 
Spread to the north and south
As if the doors of Paradise
Have opened for preview.
The evenings when Heaven’s paint jars fall
And spill their precious hues,
I glimpse the Eternity of God
And magnitude of His love.

Coffeehouse aromas
suffuse senses, dissolving 
any semblance
of time.
Unsolved problems
melt away in a
conscious uncaring,
and the day slips, unnoticed.
Deep in a forest
serene daydreams pour
gently over a secret waterfall
into a moss-fringed pool, 
a peaceful place.
My calm immersed, 
I hear only the
soft, slow whisper 
and smooth syllables of
a single word.

How is it that thy strokes amuse!
A lover’s canvas burning ooze 
and to all else you do confuse,
Except to us, a playful ruse.

Behind your lips I shall peruse
a blazing sun of thickened hues
Among your shades of reds and blues,
your splattered kiss I can’t refuse.

I pray that we may never lose
such swirled emotions that suffuse
Beyond shadows of scared excuse,
I remain devoted muse....

Don't pardon non-payment of dues.
Check what in your account accrues;
I'll be here to assist with clues;
Don't folks leave to a thing abuse...

For all school Bursaries no dews,
When parents vow it shall be ruse
Later, you'll find out it's no use
Starting a thing that clashes brews

Choose a fine time for unpaid dues
With secret joy these crooks suffuse
Sometimes, an all-night play of blues
When your blind sympathy you use?...

Thought spirals
Eating us alive
Remorselessly
Gnawing our soul

We lift our hand
As a stop signal
The bubbles burst
Noiselessly

In staid silence
Tranquil equipoise
Flow of time ends
Melding with the void

Awareness self-aware
Porous and receptive
Invites bliss currents
To suffuse our heart

Dance of polarities
Rotates with each breath
Essence of presence
Celebrates divine union

“Silence is the bliss vivifier ~ 
Exhume ego cravings in the fire”
            - quote by poet


mind searches for a metaphor
a shadowy symbol esoteric
deepening dark delusion

vibrancy of pristine presence
beholds from the vast void
need for bliss transfusion

staid silence sets into motion 
a sublime ethereal vibration
that we recognise illusion

subtle sensations suffuse form
imbibed if heart be tranquil 
with Holy Spirit fusion...

Listen to poem:

The Anointed Rainbow

Oft wander I, espy,
tis wondrous world conceive,

The role of vapors rise,
and darken blue the skies,

And ere a bliss dawning,
shone promised gift wanting,

Ne'er world watered suffuse,
wanders an arc of hues.

They choose and ooze one-sided views
Which suffuse weak minds and confuse 
With truth distorted
Fair and balanced thwarted
Fox News is the ultimate ruse


Author's note: Someone at work puts this on in the gym all day.  The "reporters" are paid to gab about what matters from the very rich and selfish point of view.  It is a real freak show.  People I know who I thought were intelligent repeat the talking points with absolute belief.  Fortunately, a lot of people sense the charade....
