Tears

God, who never gives us more than we can bear…will always make a way for our over-whelmed souls to find relief. Amen. And we press-on.


He said…
he awoke…to find…
Tears…
streaming… his face
and wondered, but
even more than that…
yearned…to recall
the dream? the vision…?
that place…
Where his…
well-built, secure…
impenetrable …dam
which received and harnessed
the compiled agony…of
all…digested pains…
all his life…
had begun to …fissure.
Tears…
from sleeping eyes…ran…
free of constraint
billowing forth from pent-up…sores…
unhampered by objections
escaping from, alas…a man!
Waters…
which only once before
in his entire living 
 so long ago yet, while awake
…had he bore.
And…
he pressed to remember
the…local
not consciously…no, never
consciously…!
but to imagine that
unconscious moment’s ember
When God…
in His Great Mercy…reached
releasing the grievous
accumulation of cruel,
oppressive, stagnated…
waves …
ere…that which his soul 
could no longer bear
…Tears

Redolonce

   Fragrance of jasmine 
   seems devine
   touching my soul
   rippling with heart beats 
   murmuring emotive pulses 
   swimming, sinking 
    in abyss of 
    forgotten feelings 
    of bygone days.
   
     Sweet smell of jasmine
     enchanted my Dad, Grandma
     and also me as if inheritance 
     flows through sweet fragrance
      holding memories of closeness and involvements.

     Whelmed by bliss of remembrance 
     with flavour of favourite flower jasmine.
      Jasmine with its alluring redolence
      sprays ethereal aroma
      claiming my love and reverence.

The Three Good F Words - Family, Fans and Friends

(A triple acrostic) 

F - Faithfulness
F - Fervence (significant reverence)
F - Feeling good with neighbors

A - Ambitious and admirable you
A - Acknowledging animals endearingly
A - Apple to my eye… oh my…

I — I love You, Lord of Accord
I — Imagine illuminating illusions and allusions of appreciation 
I — Ideas flood my brain of beautiful benevolence and brilliant blessings

Tension-whelmed and…yet…
Tormented by uncalm spirits in the realm of resurrections unknown to me…I’m of the Spirit, not man alone
Tranquility matters to me and I’m all on my own…humans are unreliable and always changing, yet God never changes…He’s incredible and dependent on our peace-making skills and talents of plenty

Hope I have faith too no doubt! Walk His narrow route…
How about a handshake of gentility? What about you free me from my captivity? Sin has enslaved me inwardly
Handsome hurts…

Bone Beach

Relentless yearning tints unrestrained
the spectral edge of the halcyon horizon,
where the nascent scarlet sun unveils 
the facade of the decorous dawn,
brings to me across the million miles 
of dreaming detour corridor,
the sparkle of the sapphire sea, 
shining with the tinge of avid allure.

I stand whelmed at the finite fringe 
of the primordial vastness vista.
Its ceaseless vigor coiling 
the collapsing crests of the swelling waves,
once had brought the relics 
of the drowned mariners to the shore,
returned with their memory 
to the fathomless serenity of oblivion.

The embrace of the silver sheet washes 
your bone-fringed footprints on the beach.
As the melancholic waves sing 
to the moonbeam ballet of the blue night, 
I search for my lost mermaid, 
floating away on the stardust trail,
and sets sail on the serenading winds 
to where my heart is.

A rolling pebble tossing lonesome 
with the rhythm of the tides of time,
I’m submerged in the sea of sanguinity 
of the rapturous reverie.
Through my fingers I don’t let 
the golden fervent sands slip,
for I turn the bones to ivory, 
design a dainty diadem for you.

Torn up by tearZ

Sorrow-whelmed and sad
Tearing me apart by thoughts
Shedding tranquil tears…

Conquered my demons 
I’m stronger than I realize
I can face my fears…

Nightmares haunt me so
Scaring me into sadness
Ditched the world of woe…

True, living a lie 
My fantasy is to be 
With you, stay here please

Drowning in my tears
Then, I feel joyous and glad
Grief turns to relief . . .

Not Good Enough

Dimmissed, defective, unimportant,
Discounted, unworthy,
Unnoticed, undervalued,
Guilt-ridden, under-employed,
Underpaid, misunderstanding,
Unempathetic, overwhelmed,
Under duress, under siege,
Over-whelmed,
Over-dose, undertaker, underground

Platitude Plateau

Up the delicate dale 
of latticed life,
at esoteric edge 
of sinking sky,
hermit horizon 
shimmers sensuous,
glows paled passion. 

On convolute contours 
of scrambled dream, 
whirlpool desire 
swivels in inert stream, 
arcane mindscape 
usurped unsculpted 
in twilight obscurity. 

In platitude plateau,
the final flow
originates inspired,
ordained for
integral fusion 
with supreme sea, 
the end embrace 
of sublime silence.

Suffused whelmed
with sunrise hues,
longing precipitates,
perpetuity illusion
embeds eternity efflux,  
carries virtually
the vibrant soul 
to the buoyant bay 
of bliss.

Views

I like to read the Real Estate
To see what money buys.
Of course, I’m never moving 
But it’s fun to fantasize.

This week’s had an apartment
That there’s no way I would choose
Since the “Cons” in the description 
Listed “underwhelming views.”

To pay that kind of money,
What would mean a lot to me
Would be looking out the windows 
Feeling whelmed by what I’d see.

                                             in kaleidoscope.
                                   Floated in fragrance and beauty.
                                       Sank in romantic aroma
                                             in my dream
                                            at day or night.

Plighting Our Troth Or Trothing Our Plight

We plight our troth for little but froth 
To be whelmed in plight, ashes and sackcloth
The phrase is plain but blind we remain 
It is hard to enjoy a stone broth!

Tribute To L Milton

Tribute To L . MILTON



   winter climbs to eaves
      icicles growing longer
          dripping tears of joy.

 The above poem is written By Milton on December 5, 2022

 
I was whelmed to go through as incidentally it matched my feelings.
Perfect presentation on Winter. I recollect my honey moon trip to a hill station
 exactly showing similar picture. Literally speaking Icicles were hanging from
 eaves growing longer ! Might be dripping tears of joy.
    Chilled sensation in room longing for cosy warmth.
I admired. I was touched.

My Reverence to L. MILTON

Whelming Autumn

Whelming Autumn

   Me whelmed! Watched butterflies to fly
    fluttering wings! Frolic and free.
     Blossoms swinging petals in glee.
     Sunny day! Cerulean sky.
     Outdoor romance: Lovers may try.
     Me whelmed.

   Auburn Autumn shining in spree.
  Chirping sterlings-sparrows : Swift, spry.
   With glass blades dawn-dews making tie.
    Cheerful children making merry.
   Me whelmed.

As Blue As Blue Hole

As Blue As Blue Hole

       Cerulean sky kissing horizon
       in lovely Lavender landscape.
      Dense Indigo -Blue stream line
      as Blue as Blue hole in oceanic charm.

      Your sapphire eyes to blink
       shackling link with my blue dreams.
        I swim amd sink to drink desires
        in depth of blue beauty of your lilac looks.

       Me whelmed in splendor of your glance
       sparkling in glory and grace through long eye lashes.
       Ecstatic enchantment in gorgeous blue hue.
       as Blue as Blue hole in oceanic charm.

Pale Moon

PALE MOON 
     
      Pale opal-like depressed Moon 
    on ebon night in charcoal turquoise sky 
      peeped through dark grey scattered clouds.
      Soft glow casting sober polite glance looking morose.
   
  Whelmed and mesmerized I am to gaze. 
    My forgotten love of bygone days
    whispers and sighs merging in dim hazy glaze
      of maroon Moon.

    Off and on black clouds try to hide the Moon.
  Time to time it slips to show dull face
     emerging from clouds
   I reminisce grief stricken lost love.

  I sink in despondence 
  drinking dormant dreamy desires
  seeking serenity in illusive drowsy dwindled 
 lunar lamentation.
