We are connected.

Nature’s works enwombed

gravities' umbilical;

Hold me mother earth

universe sings cradle song,

solar winds whisper… hurry...

Tethered to you by an 
Umbilical cord of blame
Massive heart attacks 
Of rejection serrate
Ripping through vagina of hate

In darkness of wombs
Vines of umbilical grace
Flourish with navel blossoms
Of forever present maternal love:
Mothers are sharecroppers of God....

lost every notion of life's cosmic rhythms
atrophied links with nature

Chromosomes imbibe,
The umbilical connection,
Heart to heart,
Soul to soul,
The love for the creation,
The love for the cradle of existence,

Mine  is not .
There is an umbilical cord

I leave you to be free
in your own madness
as this is your birthmark---
My love did not cut your umbilical chord.

Morning is elastic
A child's umbilical cord
Mooring yet stretching beyond
The raft's edges
A boomerang
Among exploding galaxies
Returns as
Wynken, Blinken and Nod's
Starry revelation...

Into the mouth of a mountain's darkness,
the past is fading away,
still clinging to the sun

Africa, beautiful continent
Dreamy echoes fascinate
Giraffes heighten inclines
Jurassic known linger
Madagascar nestles offshore
Primates quest reform
Savannah tribes umbilical
Visioned waves x-ray

She wears her Crown
Not only that She carried souls in Her womb,
Her umbilical cord is extended like a river 
Many from near and far quench their thirst from it.
Her wings are of the Eagle,
Soaring against the storms and not faint....

A leaf,
floating downwards,
comes to rest upon grass.
Escapee cutting off the bonds,
unaware of its impending demise;
the umbilical cord severed,
now page-pressed memory;
dried skin cracking,
A leaf.

Mothers day

She gave birth 
from a smoke filled womb
the umbilical chord around my neck
eternity choked
tossed into a world
of loneliness
discarded garbage
my mind slowly rots away
bitterness ebbs and flows
in my garden of flowers...

Eyes wide
Lids pinned
Loss of skin

Rise

Skies
All seeing eyes
Umbilical ties

Rise

Disperse
Immerse
Uncompromised

Rise

Engulf
Expelled
Cauterized

Fall

Ego all
So small
Recall

Fall

Eyes wide
lids pinned
Fall in....

You once gave to me something,
you now want to take back

But its cord is umbilical,
my soul thus attached

The title to the future
in invisible ink

Bleeding free your reluctance
—inextricably linked

Some days,
I have to get into my spacesuit,
and follow an umbilical connection
to your mind.

Your heart has always been
a capsule
large enough for our love,

but somedays,
I just float around in the space between us,
- signaling in the void....
