Flowering of the Thought

Belonging
to unbelonging
was becoming a method
exploring the path.
In the backyard unpleasant fumes
were rising.

Nocturnal swoop of enlightment,
clearly becomes a festival
of yellow death.
Who was hiding the truth?

Flowering of the thought in sky
ripens cessation of grief.
Slopes and summits,
bring tears in eyes.

Solace of ancestral home
was gone. Bold ceilings were hung by ungodly fears.
Wet hands lift the body of past,
classical future was gleaming slowly.


 
SATISH VERMA

The Cloud of Unknowing

staring at forever!
                  grinning, 
                          empty;
                              free of meaning...

this slippery surface of merCurious illuMentation;
                    an ephemeral shining at the back of the mind,
illuminating the limits of the fatal skin-we're-in --

it's the plight of the unbelonging to be longing
        before this bottomless bliss
listening to the sound only the heart can hear

reasons un-wound fall unbound toward
a pointlessness of
     parallaxing into tunnel-vision -
               where the paralysis of analysis 'n indecision

gets
wrapped up
        in many Mansions,
                    for LotusBlossomslaughter.
