X-ray vision can't read feelings.
It won't reach in and extract truths.
You remain that enigmatic mystery.

X-Ray
Seeing past the skin.
Everything is transparent.
Dark edges with azure bones.
Nothing is broken.
Portfolio is translucent.
A journey like no other.
A simple man just passing through.
Bones to the grave.
A new chapter awaits.
X-rays of the past.
With memories behind, you can fly at last.
A new body, a new spirit.
Inherit the clouds like oval garnets.
Melody at rest.
On air with balance.
A good life on earth.
Don’t weep for me in the dirt.
Up here there's no thirst.
Love meets us where we are
and sees through
Our disguises
Our guises
Our performances
Our nuances
Our expectations
Our innovations
Our convictions
Our contradictions
Our excellencies
Our inconsistencies
Love greets us where we are
Sees right through us
and does not run away
”Doing nothing follow love’s intimate scent ~
Unwrap life slowly, like a birthday present”
~ quote by poet
To have x-ray vision, piercing veil of time,
may not be a boon, since it stifles surprise,
dulling the magic of innocent heart’s chime
and of joyous rapture on the upward rise.
Living in the now, as we heavenward climb,
allows God’s blessing and mercy to baptise
our soul in whose luminescence we delight,
knowing not beforehand, hues of aura bright.
Science may surpass mankind
And the universe
But even with an x-ray
We see only the organs and the skeletons
We can't see any truths and logics
But with a book of religion
We will gradually see with our naked eyes
And the book is copyright
No one can pirated
No one can stain
Science may surpass mankind
And the universe
But even with an x-ray
We see only the organs and the skeletons
We can't see any truths and logics
But with a book of religion
We will gradually see with our naked eyes
And the book is copyright
No one can pirated
No one can stain
'Twas detected in Matt Nagy
a spine that is saggy
Instead of 'steadfast resolve'
x-ray showed 'instant dissolve'
La Drang valley 65
with air support we stay alive
The VC out number 5 to 1
The Lz X ray over run
the stench of death hangs in the air
Fallen soldiers everywhere
Bullets crack and shatter bones
Piecing screams and dying groans
napalm dancers lose there skin
Burning faces shrink and grin
3000 strong they Came in waves
To meet the shells that dug there graves
No time to say there last good byes
As He’ll fire rained from swarming skies
Col more the last to leave
the first to land the first to grieve
The Lessons learnt would turn the tide
A small victory for all those who died
The war was never going to end
now they know how to defend
Still more troops were sent in vain
More blood was spilled more hurt more pain
10 more years till sense prevailed
For all who tried but sadly failed
This war was wrong and now it’s clear
Don’t live in judgment or in fear
We all have the right to make a choice
Live together have one voice
Or have the freedom to evolve
Question figure and resolve
A different opinion a different law
It’s definitely not worth killing for
X-ray heart,
a secret,
kept tight,
Seeing spirit,
recognizing the need
To keep it quiet
Easily Mis-read,
Misunderstood.

you have never stopped analyzing me
stripped me of my mystery
thru your lens reduced me
AP: Honorable Mention 2021
In the arrogance of my silence I stand,
Facing the hill of pressure,
Sweat and tears rolling down,
The fears of my voice spoke with assurance,
My day is fighting to bloom,
But my time asking for insurance,
Is it really hard?
Further is a bedlam,
Needful for the miscarriage of my mind,
Though the vision knows no limit,
With the cries of time,
This protest in search of the blueprint,
Even infinite words won't describe the imprint.
Too often, a simple X-ray
makes militant atheists pray.
Volodymyr Knyr
2014
you can x-ray me if you want
you will see the truth
i will rip out my guts and pull out every tooth
if i lose your friendship, then i have nothing at all
i have promoted you to platinum golden diamond
the impact of your inspiration i will flaunt
when the results are presented,
you will see that you were never resented
it was actually a form of precreation
to honor you and express my full and total appreciation
I write to tell you of my life
But you compare meanings with dictionaries
And understand words
Think of this poem like a lover's fight
You told me if we quarrel I must not leave the bed
So I take it I must wrestle you until you yield
If you only bring your senses to words
You are like me, too sophisticated that morning
And too naive to understand
If you will enter into life
You first die bruise and broken
For why should find life if already you are alive
Is this not what you do to me everyday
If I was not a poem I would not even care
But I know I am written to be read
Deeply; to be profoundly understood
I resent dictionaries always sabotaging my imageries
I resent you imposing on me your twisted histories
How many have you had
Is there no private to abort your the incongruities of your womb
A poem must be read without suppositions
Without hesitation
It must be penetrated and rewarded with convulsions
I vomit in revulsion unless I am placated
For the ejaculation of truth,
That is deep semen from complex tissues
And feelings that for life are complex roots.
Foreground, background, beauty is all around
As she stands against the blue, thoughts in me abound
Through my eyes I see in x-ray effect
And what I see beyond the black not a single defect
For I see a perfect maiden her body rich in shape
And what nature has delivered in beautiful woman drape
I see curves of delight topped with kissable charms
I see a richness of vee, my hearts in alarm
Hips to hold lucious lips to be kissed
Legs that go all the way, oh! am I to be blissed
Towards me she walks my hands she now takes
My heart starts to race I'm now all in shake
To her body their placed as she whipsers in my ear
It's time for adventure release me my dear
