Simple Blessings
Simple Blessings
sunlight played across my skin
in lacy layers
of warmth & light…
… a strange peacefulness
fell in hushed & muffled tones…
traffic midway from there to where
muted by wind whispers
through coconut fronds…
… the chatter of parrots
a tumultuous symphony…
no one stirred
or walked the scuffed paths –
- a simple blessing
caught as I was
in animations
of communal living…
a surreal unreality
infused the afternoon
as if all signs
of human interaction
had frozen in time…
…. granting me a moment
that was purely mine….

Shades of Dreams & Destiny’s Design
Shades of Dreams & Destiny’s Design
I don’t know what my dreams are anymore
trampled by so many on life’s dusty floor;
visions once danced in my heart
pastel-hued transparencies
of what may be
rippled
rippled
rippled
on the mirror of my soul
liquid hopes that flowed
like mercurial waters
kiss bare ankles….
… but rose no further;
reverberations
echoed
across the surrealistic canvas
of my dreams
destiny dyed rainbow-shades into one….
shadows cast images into a dark intermission
even time abandoned me
to reruns that never end;
jasmine scented breezes
died in silent sighs
stale incense
spreads
over smoky dreams
now dancing in dust-motes
with faded crystal shards…..
I don’t know what my dreams are anymore
trampled by so many on life’s dusty floor;

Fractured Clarity
Fractured Clarity
gazing
through the weekend window
scenery blurred in shadowed haze
society’s harsh edges
faded to grey…
I saw mirrors....
mirrors upon mirrors...
suspended before my eyes...
each revealing a different image....
images that blurred
and changed before my startled cries....
my eyes brim with tears
and carry in them
a melancholy that is unfathomable....
I find myself
hurtling
chaotically
down a labyrinthine tunnel
of veiled complexities…
entering the twilight zone
of my existence
a realm of deep profundity
I have never dared
to probe…
thoughts profound
in their simplicity
chant a primal mantra
too intense for my soul
to grasp….
debilitating reasoning
encumbers free thought
as all prior knowledge
disintegrates
into meaningless
echoes
under the onslaught
of such philosophical abstrusity …
I hear the very universe
hold its breath
willing me to seize
a shard of fractured clarity
almost daring me to run with it
to the end of time…
but clarity drifts
in obscure whispers
forever
beyond my perception
a profound premise
forever beyond
my mind…..

Twilight-Silhouettes
Twilight-Silhouettes
late afternoon
shadows
lured me
out onto the veranda…
I sat with coffee
and sighed
the spring sun
drifted
behind trees & rooftops
a soft light
clinging
to the last shreds of day…
I gazed
in silence
as graduating
shades
shifted
into muted
twilight-silhouettes …
a breeze teased
the tress
- coconut fronds
dancing
with rustling grace…
a swirling mass
of cloud-colors
swept
across the darkening sky
a hint of rain
infused the air
as I sat in coffee-scented
silence
and almost
…. almost
cried….

Soul-Collective
Soul-Collective
once again
following the thread
of thoughts
that exist
in the collective
I am drawn
into long silent moments
of pondering….
an energy
…vibration
some palpable
sensation
deep within
wakens
at the
contemplations
offered up
to the universe…
my own thoughts
feed
… an insatiable hunger
for profound wisdom
born from
life experience...
a need to feel…belong… bond…
infuses me…
musings wash over my soul
as uncertainties
give birth to emotion…
philosophies
give birth
to questions…
and inner ponderings
merge into
a mirror
that reflects
the soul…..
