Terra Incognita

Putting out fires not of my making
it's time-consuming heart-breaking
the grass over there don't seem any greener
and from my perspective the streets are meaner
the so-called social networks are as unsociable as can be
impersonal with dirty laundry on show for everyone to see
despite self-admitted wrong-doing and misdeeds
the herd still follows their every lead
but I won't borrow sorrow
and

Terra Nova - New Earth

What if humans fled to a distant star?
Seeking a better world, but traveling far?
Missing the truth, that Earth was the best.
Leaving behind a planet, to find eternal rest.

Two paths lay ahead, for Mother Earth to roam.
A path of rebirth, or a destructive home.

She chose the path of renewal, where memories bloom.
Cribbing years together, about a

On Terra Firma In ITQ

The ocean's a drum fault and sheer;
to me, breakout from dark, this sphere,
that the sunk water lapsing veers —
hours of footprints away from here,

Missing this density timeless 
with each sanddollar I will wreck,
for today I'm also in shreds — 
in the foam, this form, it lays death.

Like as the deep deep, her I love,
and I

UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING PERFECT IN GOD- Dedicated verse for Terra Lynn Abram

His angry screamed at me in silent
Her quiet eyes sorely pierced her smile
Violently behaving worlds standard
Sinless for who’s alive to judge them
Labeled a problem you cannot judge them
For who am I to hug
For whom am I to judge?
For who am I to hold, a grudge

WHOM AM I TO JUDGE WHEN I DON’T UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING PERFECT

Ille Terra Lamentum

The consummate scent of Earth's due decay
Subdues gently the fervor of Death's perennial
Parade, whose incumbent silences the withering leaves
Do so barely correct, by singing tremulous or crying to the choral winds.

But, as with an inspirited indifference, that incensed breeze yet swept
The consummate scent of Earth s due decay
Far from that secret tome whence mortal moments

Mia Madre Terra - As We Rest In Your Bosom

mia madre terra

as we rest in your bosom
we slowly realize – your fight for us
searching for natural resources
finding dry – given up – life once lived
sensations felt in all the five elements
residing within me
to live without you is to
live without my existence

mia madre terra

taking you for granted
betraying you
molesting you
despite of all the gifts you have

Terra E Areia

Terra e areia

Ricos ou pobres,
somos terra e areia,
mas, se por acaso,
no infortúnio da vida,
um vento repentino
nos pegar,
sempre podemos
escolher
rolar na  praia  
em  dias  ensolarados
ou na terra dos prados  
para  tapar  
os  buracos  
no  corpo;  
e felizes
seguiremos 
para fazer
mais e mais.

Terra Incognita 

Hidden!
Uncharted eternity birthing
Roiling! 
In a slow dance
The pregnant pause of terra’s faults
 Breaks o p e n 
   In slip strikes
Earth’s fiery magma
Spit back into the hands of Heaven’s potter
Churning!
 Moody
  Mercurial
   Footprint on the landscape’s soul
Journey to epiphany and nature’s improvisation
 New land birthed
  Uncharted steamy

Terra Incognita

He had a dream in the still of the night,
Someone beckoned on him,
Someone implored him to come,
He looked distressed and troubled.

He was worried 
He knew it was an urgent plea,
But it was a place no one had ever been,
It was a place shrouded in mystery.

Many had tried to go,
Many as such who was entreated to

Terra Incognita

Peering beyond reach of human capacity
I revolve around the sun in a solar orbit,
Looking deep in space for origins of bygone
Going way beyond anyone has ever gone,
Exploring unknown world of astronomy
Searching light from first stars and galaxies
Traversing back in time where it all began,
Forming our universe after the Big-Bang.

Some 13.6 billion light-years my eyes reach,
Studying

Terra Incognita

I do not know what lies  
           beyond that inner boundary
     I have never dared venture there 

a tender place 
kept carefully guarded
lest l breach its defences

I think a wound from the past lies there

Terra Incognita

Diurnal moments margin in my head,
As metamorphosis pirouettes hands,
Nightmarish recall exit none be said,
An armistice mosey in of spilt sands.

Logjam beliefs wane gains, prosperity,
Erring hand fingered an island nation,
Right foresees windfall, voters clarity,
Left wins Red China, lost the election.

Past oversights also recent letdowns,
Amiss twentieth, twenty-first embed,
Ruse an angle

Terra Incognita

I heard of lands both far and near
where wealth beyond tale can conceive. 
With rivers deep and mountains sheer
for the brave to challenge and reave.
I heard of them and I believe
this call that moves me to explore.
I should follow my heart and weave
the path where none has gone before.

Through legends spread by foe and peer,
my

Terra Incognita

I know well of a cat's ear, eye, nose, teeth, coat, paws and claws,
Do I know, what's behind its look and mysterious pause?
I know a dog's acute sense of smell; muscles and fingers,
Do I know what's going-on when he quietly lingers?

I see my neighbor-child stand exuberantly leaping,
I stand in awe, when, within seconds, I see

Terra Incognita

The emerald forest uniquely so mystique,  
as far as I can see beyond the horizon,
shrouded by surreal stillness it spreads, 
wraps me as I amble in rippling breeze. 
Its charming cadence enthralls 
my essence suffused with rhapsody.  

As I walk on the fading forest path 
around the shadows of ancient trees, 
the clumps
