I have seen beauty that is unimaginable...unmeasured by distances...and not seen by many...beauty so rare...so mysterious...so simple...it carries you away......

Uncommon things unfurl;
Unmeasured acts of love,
Unerring faith and hope,
Unveil unique unction;
Unknown mysteries and
Unswerving truths unfold
Unseen, unending life...

Writing my prose,
unmeasured.
Sometimes I try poesy,
another pleasure.
Untrained. Unskilled.
But, what a joy!
to freedom,
my thoughts I find.
And so, as day by weeks
would turn into a lifetime, could be
the possibilities concocted by gods
may be....

I'm honored, if love is expressed.
From your eyes depth of spirit found.
The unmeasured distance between our eyes compressed.
Simple feeling, to understand, profound.

Walking the line,
  each step unmeasured and long

Walking the line,
  memories distant and gone

Walking the line,
  time seemed forever to last

Walking the line,
  the future indentured
   —to the past

Lips of my bluest dream
fond in memory so serene
found in places now unseen
for reasons long forgot it seems

your embrace warm, and soft as silk
silhouettes of summer days, hours filled
happiness unmeasured by inch or mile
smiles in my memories, once in awhile...

I imagine and experience you,
When you are not in my presence
My fantasies consist of showering you
With countless amorous treasures
The heavens weep in adoration,
Blessing my tribute to your exquisite essence
Angelic tears baptizes our spirits as one,
In purity unmeasured...

Knowledge is not a paradigm,
but a bridge to something else

Its path to stay unmeasured,
when crossing into self

Devoid of polar opposites,
where beauty exits truth

To steal away, a soul relayed
—its burden stripped of proof

A hostage in the devils realm 
He paid my ransom 
The chains was broken 
Salvation is assured 
I was stained 
He purified me..
I can't stand my posture
He holds my ground.. 
Wicked souls torment my path 
He sworn to beshield me
I glorified:
His unmeasured love

when the sun rotates

backwards in the sky

and the blue goes on and on

without the wisp of a cloud

we are in the starkness of the day


when unmeasured time

passes on the hands

of a broken watch only

do we understand when these

days are gone the starkness of the day...

To change one word and rock the world
   a new verse dancing free

Its weight unmeasured, breadth untold
  whose key unlocks the dream

The bottle open, the genie gone
  last domino to fall

One word pulled out or inserted in
 —new meaning to enthrall

I yearn for your touch, 
your kiss and embrace
To listen to you talk, 
Hear your laugh and see your face

I long for your presence,
I am captivated, beguiled
Enchanted by your wit,
your darling grin and radiant smiles

I adore each moment
every second is treasured
each day I love you more
and this love is unmeasured...

I hide between 
   the ragged breaths  
   of my heart
Crawl to where \  time be not
where be  \  the all  \  of the all 
where I find You  \  my God
   my solace 
   my peace 
   my hope

Between the measured 
   drum beatings   of heart
there You be 
   in your breathless
   unmeasured   being
there  \  just for me.

Superpositioned,
   truth here and truth there

Unmeasured duality,
  a mirror contraire

Its message lies distant,
  its message lies near

A Siamese phantom,
  whose front is both rear

The sublime contradiction,
  one plus one equals one

Their nature poetic
  —each truth zero sum

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)...

limitless  
endless rounds repeating
banquet of unmeasured sustenance  

liquid light  
released into coolness  
assuaging my soul's brown thirstiness 

eyes open  
unguarded, unafraid  
sinking in spangled star reflections 

color arc
rushing joyful cascade  
letting go, untethered forever

The question is:
“Are people still collecting
memories, these days?”

"This isolation 
isn't bothering me much.”
I say, if I'm asked.

But I’m not sure that’s
true. After hundreds of nights
of dull solitude.

I think each night might
carry a value - of dear, 
and unmeasured loss.

Loss of memories
- because they never happened.
How have we all changed?...

Cupped within the grasp of mine
the chi does swirl a treasure
twirling atoms held sublime
eternity unmeasured.

Reflections lift from hand to eye
each limpid surface framed
The sky above doest bring a sigh
as glorified is His name.

A world within two cupped hands
A world within each mind
Universes do unfold
within the scope of time.

So taste the waters offered thee
and see beyond the farthest sea....

no movement
         on its face
             time
            halted

reflection contemplation
      memories hope
      wishes desires
 relaxation nothingness
accelerated perceptions
          whatever

         thank you
these extra unmeasured 
          moments
           before
     the hands move

   the pulse continues
          endless
         together
        until mine
         doesn't...

Listen to poem:

Hail, languish in the quietude of youth innocence,

Forward the moment set for a future ponderance,

Greeting the unmeasured stare of memories call,

Tendering spirits its fortitude of life's forward haul,

Early scenes pan out the absence of rational reels,

Patterns that pave the assured their gallant feels,

                                ...to be alive then and now.

This was a cooking Sunday;
A mushroom tarragon
French cuisine Sunday;
Where the rapture of Julia Child
Days of cooking, cooking, cooking
Rose deep from every pore,
With the bliss of adding
Unmeasured ingredients
And delight in the territory
Of rarely explored spices.
Feeling, sensing the mind
Going into a place of creative joy,
A place of quiet surrender,
With nothing left to do
But leave all behind.
"Bon appetit."...

              . 
I shall live and dine 
as Love’s copy unmeasured
of heaven’s pleasured treasure
death shan’t claim my soul
my grave burst shall of earth’s dust
be particles, of soul’s thrust
             .
my soul a portrait 
of an Everlasting stone
measure my infinity 
 “Alpha Omega”
I shall remain so clever
of Love’s power forever

the day of becoming
rises from shadows
unmeasured light
a long journey
taken
the highway
rolls over hills
a perspective
points to the sky
bearing time
a passage
the sun and moon dance
life’s work
is never complete
life’s work
the sun and moon dance
a passage
bearing time
points to the sky
a perspective
rolls over hills
the highway
taken
a long journey
unmeasured light
rises from shadows
the day of becoming...

What is the age
of reality itself
Older than
a metaphor
Unreferenced
on a shelf

What is the distance
unmeasured from within 
Spoken of
but never seen
A poets
dying whim

What is time uncounted
as numbers lose their clout
The hourglass
returned to sand
An abacus
in doubt

What is love ungifted
but feelings’ last excuse
To roam unlinked 
between the chains
And blame it
—on the Muse

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
