FACES OF PIERIAN
SPRING
My eyes are
dauntless
Staring on an
empty ferris wheel
I am sipping the
lyrical wind
Calming my
kaleidoscopic emotion
As it muses from
the springs
Intoxicating my
labyrinthine memory.
I am sailing from
the mirage every-whither
The context of
millennial nephesh
Daydreaming,
wandering in your midsummers
To my world, my
home, my joy
In the flooding
rhymes of your heart.
The curtain laces
afterimages
Of that song
‘’vivere e amore’’
Bathing my tongue
with fusions of change
Writing in braille
from innermost quench
Yet, I have to see
you withstand
Eavesdropping
crossroads
Filling in my whys
As we, the
survivors of time
Will meet in our
poetry
Like nocturnal
passion in our day to day
Explosions of
planetary rebellions.
Now, I live in the
oceanic silence
To remember the
last stanza
Of our magical
youth
Etching ephemeral
mornings
Giving all mothers
and fathers
Eyes of our sky,
skies to our eyes
Life to our
hearts, hearts to our lives.

SONGS OF MEMORY
CASTLES
i have been inside
the question a thousand times
when i fall down
and have not saved the king
i rebuilt the lost
towers in all dreams to dream,
waited for the
cranes and dragons’ return
so once again, my
heart will bloom no remorse--
an abode of
beautiful beginnings.
the torrential
winds scattered my confessions over the chimney
the casket of
despair was torn down the memory lane,
up straight to the
seascapes of countless sun,
i have smelled the
cascading revelations
of wildflowers in
the velvety midsummer,
gathered some
butterflies in the rainforest of my mind;
i adored the sweet
canopy of hereafter.
i crouched under
the fire tree; nostalgic about the Celtic knot
that i wore to
embrace the legends of our destiny—
entangled in
reciprocating evergreens of infinity.
i have been to
your thoughts; your thoughts been to me
like castle of
distant stars and unwritten songs.

THE BRAVER ATLANTIS
i bury the moon
in my
night-pillows
feathery weather
shapes and retells
my resplendence
from the tiny
wicks
to a spectacular
lighthouse
of my deveined
being,
my roots of equanimity.
i zip the mouth of
penchants
shrinking over the
hilly shadows
sensing the tassels
of life
where no heaven,
no hell
because i live in
a home,
of awoken
acquiescence.
there, where i
must, i am
the maiden of the
ageless ocean
no myths of overruling winds
to swindle swing
my own ship my embraced streaks
because i am the
braver one,
the host of the
never lost.

BEYOND HER STORYLINE
She thinks today,
for the dreamboats of Tomorrowland
She cares for the
believers waiting at the corridors of the braves
Her majesty
harmonizes the topsy-turvy railways ,
Crossroads,
highways and muddy planes.
She smiles after
the boiling headaches.
In her breast, she
feels, she breathes, she creates
Ultra-hemispheres
of Herculean lifts.
Her power
conceives caressing supernova
Over
magma-stiletto tongues,
Her eugenic harps
and tambourine
Of sempiternity;
her world remains
To be the damsel
of evolving legend,
Herself is the
temple of solitude,
The woman having
no name isolates no one
Because she is
All,
For US.

MORE THAN SHE
She is a woman.
She thinks of an
open window
Widely open from
divergence to bridges
Of love, light,
and music of life.
She is the energy, and the synergy,
She weeps on her
bended knees
Singing a morning
prayer
That every new day
Is a bullet-free
Un-threatened,
No war.
Her glimpses of
rhyme-zones
Are countless
possibilities.
She is the Lady
Madonna,
The epitome of
woman’s perspectives.
She is more than
festivals,
She is a peace
warrior, the sole soul mentor
She is omnigender;
She loves beyond
description.
