surfing spiritual unknowns
we exit as one...

 inhumane unknowns, street drugs

Beaten and scarred
Walking gingerly outside
Upon his release,
Jumping away from the warmth
Unknowns scare us all the most...

trapped fish swim about

behind clear, aquatic walls;

do seas haunt their dreams?

Stepping stones
Facing unknowns
Embracing zones
Weathering cyclones
Contentment owns

Friends
Delightful, insightful
Laughing, sharing, caring
People, animals, strangers, unknowns
Suspecting, avoiding, irritating
Uncomfortable, scary
Enemies...

Lighthouse
Its eye stares
Far out to sea
Illuminating guide
For ships.

Some ships
are not of 
this mortal realm
a beacon to unknowns
watch out!

quantum
worlds collide in space-
particles accelerate

genetic code
altered by unknowns-
star seeds

populated planet
in the God’s Eye Nebula-
new species

Long before the sun breaks the horizon
     the sky begins to lighten,
turning night's shadowy unknowns
     into day's familiar friends.
The clock strikes the morning hour
     as hope paints another sunrise....

First Kiss

With a first kiss that entices aching unknowns,
My beating heart flutters, and beats into my soul.
Enveloped in joy completing me full
I am purged of my heart your lovely first kiss stole.

known knowns
              known unknowns
                    unknown knowns
                            unknown unknowns

                            relationships 
        unravelling

These dreams of mine
have shifted
into nightmares
on their own.

This heart of mine
is hung up,
torn to pieces
by unknowns.

This life I live
is nothing more
than hanging
by a thread;

But never have I
found a word
that’s better
left unsaid....

The darkness of the night
Seeds a world out of sight
Hiding from us the unknowns
Where danger is secretly sown

Do I wait in darkness still
Savouring each moment’s thrill
Or do I scurry seeking shelter
Amid a world of helter-skelter.

A great explosion
Fragments soar outward
Ever expanding
From a central point
The Master’s great plan
 
Celestial orbs
Meteors hurl
Through vast darkness
All in motion
 
Genesis
Planets, moons
Stars and suns
 
Black holes
Unknowns
 
Veils

TIMING…



This is the best time
in my life because,
I’m living it,
and I’m most alive:
NOW!
Why would I want 
a past with
prior knowledge to
live again
Or- 
future unknowns?
At least there’s some
semblance of control,
because the “present”
allows choice.
“Live On!”...

Listen to poem:

11 Reasons People Die
David J Walker


Broken hearts and 
Broken bones

A long list of 
Homophones 

Of all the other
Vague unknowns 

Quoted in a despite sigh
A lost list of 

Tears to cry 
11 reasons people die

Though everyone knows 
10 are a lie

1 is the only number 
To apply

To all the reasons 
People die...

The world has indeed been forgetting me
Forgetting me cruelly 
As waste that neither grow nor breathe

It is a fermentation of anger and despair 
As Despairing as it struggles with anger 
At the unknowns in dark 

Gleefully silence compares with the sunshine 
The sunshine does have evils 
Telling that today I cannot forget about...

Even if
The memories
Keep haunting
I’ve forgotten
You at all

You’re no more the 
Dream of mine

You’re no more 
The light of mine

You’re no more the
The strength of mine

We’ve cheated
One another 
In lieu of 
loving and caring
Each other

Thence in our day
We’re two unknowns 
Even if we like it or not

Saumya Aloysius...

Arrival of the Absolute 

Say with me standing and raising your both hands 
With full throat and with the full power of your lung 
Our Lord sees the unseen and knows the unknowns  
And He is there to crush the falsity with the strike of truth 
As falsehood can’t create anything nor can it return 
So tell everyone the truth of all truths the Absolute has come....

Sad days;
Virus attacks-
Deaths daze.

Wash hands,
Stay quarantined-
Heed bans.

Slowed pace
Many unknowns-
Fears face.

CRIMSON

Bougainville… 
white washed
walls of hidden 
hedonism
cobble stones of
past unknowns
Mediterranean
mysterious 
Islands of
indulgence
salt and sea



a serene
version of you
and me placid
crimson hopes and
expectancies
lie in veiled
secrecy 
the darkness
of disturbed
observances
clandestine

All the unknowns 
Floating in the air

Like the tiny drops
of vapour, 

unable to bear
the pain of the darkness

the early morning wind
out of colossal grief 

becomes numb 
thick and cold

after collecting them
one by one 

together, then 
it drops 

in the form of 
diamond dew

on the sharp blades 
of green grass 

reflecting rays 
in thousand colours 

making fun out of your 
glistering ignorance...

Today, my spirit is as a wild stallion
Free to rear up and paw, my fears
A mother bear protects her young, 
She shelters her cubs, from the feared unknowns
The unknowns are her presumed enemies
Who cloth in darkness, from her prejudiced light
Unknowns are uneducated, they lie today
And, millenniums have passed 
Furthermore, the stallion still rears

Be True To Yourself
6/4/2018
Tom

Some use their wile, and a mask they wear,
Unable to speak of life, they pantomime.
Satan is unfailing in his effort to ensnare,
And all life will become bleached by time.

We each absorb some of time’s atmosphere,
While considering life and all its unknowns;
To God’s commandments each must adhere,
Before being ossified to mere dry bones;

When shackled by wind
and breezed by balance to mend

Grip the wealth that life's garden grows
And smell the unknowns the nose not knows

Hear zesty colors in rhyming dance
And see bountiful beauty from musical chance

Be in this moment to crisp the crunch 
Silence packs a thunderous punch

Harvest the taste, this freedom life that melts
And feel as though you're on your way to someplace else...
