08-18-93 - DISTANT

 

 

"You try to be different!"

so went the criticism

i did endure

 

but it was not grasped

as of what is

 

 

 

 

 

08-21-93 – ETERNAL (of concept)

 

Eternal procreation                                              Mirror, Mirror

by atomic means                                               on the wall

our only power                                           refined clairvoyance

Revelations within                                                                      of Cosmic All

of most colourful

unknown stuffs

our single strength

Conceptualized births

enlighten hidden images

as tiny children play havoc

attempting to survive

Lust and loyalty

allow life's ceaseless nature

Passionate magnetism

assures new life to be

 

Illumination

of darkest regions

appear over

and over

Death and rebirth

of minute babies

present dilemmas

unwanted

 

New images emerge

and exist in truth

if only briefly

Appreciation remains

for the child that seeks

survival assured

until sight diminishes

 

But the colours have been witnessed

their beauty consumed

 

Death never in vain

Birth always a blessing

 

 

 

 

 

09-24-93 / I Dance (of not mentioning….feminine feeling)

 

vitality hides its face

and i don't know why

secrets do betray

lust's grandeur lays bare

who would you fool

o'  inhibited wildflower?

what Be ecstasy

lest the zenith's spell?

oh, no...

exorbitant exploitation

the erotica of Eris

oh, yes...

vigorous vivification

the virtue of Venus

where is the lover

with blaze everlasting?

so petty such longing

for invisible soul

adoring innocence

an erroneous claim

the pathos of Self!

denial of difference

a vain thing

exotic potency

both curse and cause

the ecstatic search

finds me insatiable

freedom's quest

uncovers the groove

transformation

of impervious souls

elation by merit

sensitivity by nature

perverted pain

distorted dance

i am weakened

and meta-morph into jelly

 

participant mutation

of one tiny audience

accidental elicitation

of anguished existence

isolation of being

by benevolent dementia

the tantric taint

offers its all

 

O'Master of desire

release false bindings

involuntary virginity

of fiery soul

deprivation known

to elucidate squander

celestial radiance

awaits veneration

passionate pollination

of alluring womb

exquisite petal

of velvet touch

illuminating colour

with no name

flowery flow

ensure the bloom

you are the all

as the all is you

the trial exists

to enhance the text

courageous characters

as sensual nobility

pure white heroines

be precious blessed queens

note

peasantry's absence

omnipresent grace                                                                                                                                                      

cannot be denied

the universal soul

requests our share

grand coupling arranges

twin-mutual stance

 

untamed calling

within and without

animal nature

does waltz within

miraculous monster

behold the movement

beautiful essence

balance marvel

rajas rises

like spring mist

inward inferno

broils in excess

chastity's creation

endures collapse

the cryptic climax

shall expose all caliber
