I scribble because I exist
I exist because I write
I survive in my yearnings...

yearnings of the earth
knocking at the rain god's door
to shower blessings

So that’s where, oh hermit, we need to start

For i can no longer bear the torment
Of moments past, such memories
Yearnings of old, too ancient...

D.I.Y of detachment 
demolish the 
ideological 
yearnings 
of a heart 
that was once
full of longing 
till there was 
no trace left...

Walking among our clouds of doubt
Our fate is sealed
with innocent ambiguity
Our steps are laden
with blind uncertainty
Our yearnings, like cliffs
fall away to guiltless verity...

deep thoughts
heart's yearnings 
poet's mind's eye
disclosed, distilled, displayed
laid bare

Excruciations---
tuned up...

Yearnings---
beated out...

Agony---
amplified...

And---

A ripple ruffled through
the dampened self
to break
it's
Slumber...

Yearnings of childhood
distant echoes
of mystery, magical trains
broken tracks
the mind —
often late past midnight
senses
the source
strains… reaches…
for stairwells
of 
explanations...

Grimly grown 
into the 
youthful 
yearnings
towards 
being alone.
Within this 
wistful world
woefully willing 
to wear itself down.
In order to be 
branded as 
something of 
your own....

THE WOMAN WHO WAITED TOO LONG

               Empty womb
        Springs tumble winters
              The clock ticks

            Plum blossoms
         Yearnings of passion
               Wept away...

No time for the memories,
no time to refrain
No time for the questions,
as answers proclaim
No time for the yearnings,
 regret hovers close
No time for new learning
—all time but a ghost

Green woods 

Barefoot I walk 

Chalk half broken 

Unspoken yearnings 

Earrings from the caves 

Waves from the Tigris 

Enslaving existence 

Distances chopped 

Pearl drops

As
A
Bubble
Coveted dreams
Waft in the ether
Illumining opalescent
Hankering yearnings in your sanguineous veins stream
Awakening the enthusiasm to wake up each morning with a sense of purpose

Simple yearnings are the only ones I’ve ever known
                   Gentle as the sparrow’s wing forever having flown
Easy as the summer sun that rises in the sky
                 Just to be loved and to love for dreamers such as I

slate gray day's
nocturnal mood
souls sensitive
often brood

upon nature's
whimsy, caprice
yearnings stillborn
know no peace

darkness settles
in forest, meadows
'pon every plateau ~
doused, flames' embers
in shuttered chateaus...

External conflict
(versus)
self-disaffection

The first a misdemeanor
(the second)
a higher crime

Inarticulate
powerful yearnings
trapped in between

Inarticulate
powerful yearnings
—of that forever lost

Remember when, 'way back then'
Our flag we flew -- to cheers, not boos

Old Glory, all saluted
No one taunted, no one hooted

'Star-Spangled Banner' folks sang
Off-key, tear-stained twang
     
We believed every word
Deep yearnings stirred...

fear sets in motion
a negative desire
to experience denial
of bountiful abundance
that is always available

desire sets in motion
yearnings of ignorance
to secure an object
that is but a fleeting mirage
within the lucid dream

FEBRUARY

Fiercely independent these
Eclectic February days.
Bravado, masked in the madness of
Revelry’s raucous, windy,
Ululations bowing the
Aspens in prayerful
Resignation to the simmering
Yearnings of Spring.

monologue to a past one


and now you know
all of my transgressions
my rending yearnings plastered
and replastered into my heart
my whole self is bare before 
spirit eyes

will you judge me now as the truth
can no longer be wrapped in my body...
