brahma bull snorting
flies with her tail thwarting….
young cow he’s courting...

Thwarting sanguine wars
The mountain did spawn a mouse-
Trifling frustration....

Crying embryo,
Pray that your mother has strength
Thwarting suggestions.

Come join me in my secret reverie

Conversing in language of bliss

As discourse of our sensuous lips

Seduces me with a romantic kiss.


Be forewarned, I will awaken all

Hollering distress in my scream

Thwarting advent of passionate zeal

If you take me beyond my dream.

puffy clouds regal
     float in wind swept spaces
                     lift
         brown flecked eagle

      birds in mishmash flight
        breaching boundaries
                    vexed
        by jets thwarting height

        courtship songs tumbling
        planes intrusive rumbling
        environmental grumbling

When everything seems Dark around Me,
I vent on a Paper in order to be Free.

When the Hurricane of My Thoughts is at its Peak,
I let it glide gently so it doesn't make me Weak.

Thoughts make a distinction between a Wise and a Fool,
So I tune in to My thoughts but not let them Rule.

I dive into my Conscience as it swiftly drifts away,
Sometimes holding on to a thought turns everything Grey....

I stack my bricks together
Assemble one by one
Construct myself a barrier
To hide from everyone
My soul's become too fragile
It's shivery and weak
Ramshackled by dishonesty
Enfeebled by deceit
So I've engineered a fortress
An rampart for the pain
Ensconced behind my barrier
I'll never hurt again
So I stack and stack and stack my bricks
My emotion thwarting wall
A soul saving work of masonry
To shield me from it all...

Reveal

Revealing hidden treasure
Opening to view
Bringing unknown pleasure
Embracing something new

Romance long defended
Thwarting every chance
All the times expended
Movements through the dance

Advancing every dream
Repairing moments past
Inviting as they seem
Erased by Love at last

Kindling the flame
Rapture hard to take
Accepting all the blame
Takes away mistake

Souls embracing last entwine
Ascending to a Love divine
