Suffuses Poems

The wind marauds away outside
Rain beats its staccato drum on the window pane
Let the tempest do its worst.
It can’t touch me here.
I am home.

The fireplace casts its warm cozy glow
Shadows dance against the wall.
Sleep inducing warmth suffuses me.
Relaxing me into...Read More

A sand grain of quartz sprawls on desert dune,
listens to the scorching whistle of the arid wind,
sliding down the steep slope waltzes to its tune.
Face burnished, it doesn’t mind the falling grind.

It reposes in new found niche of subtle solitude,
sees...Read More

"You don't have to say you love me"* -
It is quite unnecessary,
For your love for me lies
In the depths of your eyes,
It suffuses your face
Every time we embrace,
In the softness of speech 
Only my ears can reach:
I gain more satisfaction
From...Read More

I have envisioned the fire dust of her brave wings
 and I have heard her metatronic voice of kind 
 she lives in linear time, across galactic spheres 
 at the pulpit of the sun, and moon's adhere

In her galactic...Read More

Dim lights ...

Rhythms pound
Cold Duplais Verte emulsifies in my square glass
Tongue tingling, I swallow it in sips
Woody, bitter licorice plucks my senses

The soft, dreamy warmth suffuses my blood, relaxing
And the flamingos start to dance
Up-and-down, sweeping and bouncing
Timed with colored lasers...Read More

Outside...

The cold rain is why my old hat
feels plastered upon my head,
and why the street has a gray look,
as if the neighborhood is dead.
It’s why I can see every exhale,
why there is a hard chill on my sin,
which seems to...Read More

Robert Frost...A Reflection

No matter corporeal essence
     of Robert Frost bid adieu
from temporal plain approximately
     five and fifty plus years ague,
his rediscovered spiritual
     omnipresence suffuses anew

mine gnarly feeble exegesis

 Hands folded prayer like to beseech thee 
   to abduct me with no cause to up braid
natural temptation found temptation commanding 
   from divine dada disobeyed
Earthbound Olympian of love,
 
   now dwells amidst...Read More

I lay there immersed in the cosset wrap
skin smoothed into endless
the liquid thoughts on languish endless
a stretch of bone in muscle seeking comfort
finding peace for a moment
peace from the ceaseless jackhammers
leave me be
alone in the warmth of darkness

There is no...Read More

October blows a symphony of sighs
with blustry gusts that presage winter's bleak
arrival as I shuffle through the park,
kaleidoscope of leaves a welcome prize.
Swings unswung on, roundabouts without 
the rush of children stutter to a halt.
October blood suffuses to the hilt
my...Read More

Flaxen oars comb golden ripples as I set adrift into butterscotch fog-- my miracle has led me here
Alone, enchanted by soft canary light from a distant Tuscan sun I look to the honey glazed horizon
Leading me deeper into blonde bliss...Read More

A lonely gull cries from within the gloom
Of ghostly dawn, where the grey mist gathers.
Except for this, the silence of the tomb
Suffuses life itself : worst of weathers.
The cold, bone-numbing fog pervading all
Now leeches light and colour from the vale,
Reduces...Read More

Let it rain on the 
drought-shrouded 
terrains.
Let it rain on the 
meadow and her 
grains;
For the ember stare of 
the bridled sun
Fiddles and suffuses our 
flaccid corn.

Descriptions in a Leaf



An ever expanding moment
Deciphering equilibrium
Encrypting chaos
Convergence spilling outward
Breathing indrawn gasp wave staccato’s
The designs intricacies 

Pandemonium of links
Events
Patterns cast on scenic sentience
Picks out the radiance atonement

Perception floating
Anchoring on that moment
Refracts the clues resonance
On an equal curve
Spiraled inward
In countless...Read More

Unifying Theories of Love

In the face of savage law
And brutal nature
The needs of survival can only be tempered
With love

This is the triumph of awareness

You
Me
We
Undivided in this emotion
Of unity

We are redeemed by the edicts 
Of love
Brings us all then
To this single...Read More

A hot muggy day sets the stage.
The warm air blows across the dry prairie,
Suffuses with the high cool air of the gulf.
They entertwine to form the Finger of Jupiter.
One that corkscrews across the land
with no apparent direction.
It's fury destroys all...Read More
