THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Premium Member The Bounding Main

A deep ocean under the blue,
And one in my heart.

The tides upsurging furious,and waters so high.
Just like vivacious thoughts In my mind.

With the only unconformity........

That plethora would go calm sometimes,
Unlike my spirit that would introspect at all times.

Because the ripples had pioneered the seashore, 
But my soul bewildered far from its destination.

Splendor Magnificent

A vessel contents unknown 
all that unconformity speaks of 
dramatic and real 
never to be placed on a shelf 
by any man’s hand dead or alive

Waiting on empty faith refrained
imagining crystalline brotherly love 
untainted and shockingly pain free

Monsters they come 
in velvety gift wrapped boxes 
chipping away porcelain veneer 
weakening bonds of molecular structure
levee breaks and inside turns out

A solitary heart with no legions at my side
raised arms against a fortress of spades
pledging my life in return splendor magnificent


As Inhuman As a Man's Heart Seems

As inhuman as a man's heart seems...
hidden inside is a tender side:
a beautiful side seldom seen by others;
and that fear of being sensitive
is a real hurdle for those men sworn in pride,
but manly qualities are judged by his deeds...
 
A woman's perception of the common man is that
he is lives in an unintentional masquerede,
to hide the sweetness he won't manifest;
and this unconformity won't let his beauty 
 be capturated by intense emotions of masculinity...
will he break the myth and be appreciated?

I have struggled with it indefinitely
and embraced this stereotype unsympathetically,
why are we supposed to be so uncaring and invulnerable,
and outgrow our own resistance and be so invincible;
have we realized that disharmony,
indignation and frustration are not truly noble?

As inhuman as a man's heart seems,
many sacrifice love for an unexplanable cause...
putting vanity before human compassion:
without guilt, regard and trepidation;
have we become so stubbornly persistent...
to lose all self-direction and prospective?

Abstract Love

Here it is
A new picture of love 
It is freedom with boundaries
It is boundaries without limitations
Endless irony bursting forth realization
An equevocal, obscure equation 
A message too complex to decipher
Certainty is in the knowing 
Something riveting and unexpected 
Has come from a master
You and me
As the subject to frame
We determine direction
In the centre lines of confusion
Settled in by infinite desires 
Burning and melting traditions
United to each other by virtue
Of defiance to world-set standards
 Perhaps in divine vision
Of the One who led a universal path
Our cosmic reign
To meet in fruition
We come to this
Love furnace freedom
Beyond  understanding
Nor people's mental girding 
A picture we paint
In a blank canvass of lessons learned 
Stroking flames of affection
Illuminating new design 
On patterns of unconformity
Flowing silhouettes
Others call the abstract creation
We just don't know
But a new picture is worth the attention
