Quotes about grasp, page 39
Inside Your Armpits....
the years that you pour
on that bottle
are many,
accumulating sands,
white,
smooth to the taste of your eyes
sometimes you touch them and you let them slip
you grasp for breath
and so you gently return them back
like robins to their
nest
you contemplate of breaking the hourglass
and then
go away like a stranger
despite
time still stays beside you

One Day I See You Naked Bathing In The River
one day i see you naked bathing in the river
we are lovers and i could have called your name
and then i go naked myself and then we bathe together
and make the most of the youth of time
i hide behind the leaves
to feast on your beauty
more beautiful when untouched
more sublime when unconsumed
it is the distance
something beyond the reach of my hands
beyond my grasp
completes us

Excersize In Futility
Like water through my fingers
Time evades my grasp.
Invisible, intangible,
as uncatchable as wind.
Oh, how I long to possess
that which possesses all, in time.
Metal, mountain, ocean, life-
each are as a dropp of water
into an ocean when faced
with this Force to be Reckoned With.
Will it be mine, before I depart this Mortal Coil?
Ironic, isnt it, for only Time will tell!

Reaching Your Sky
“keine Bäume erreichen überhaupt den Himmel'
“no trees ever reach the sky.”
They stretch with every branch
Of their being
They dance giving leaves and wings
As messages to their sky….
A tree can never touch the sky,
They just grasp for it
To reach the sky,
There has to be no roots
There only has to be wings
With still a place on the ground
To call home…

Without going out-of-doors, one can know all he needs to know. Without even looking out of his window, one can grasp the nature of everything. Without going beyond his own nature, one can achieve ultimate wisdom. Therefore, the intelligent man knows all he needs to know without going away, And sees all he needs to see without looking elsewhere, And does all he needs to do wihout undue exertion.

Waging Flame of a Lover's War
My love I told you once before,
of this life and waging war.
But if my life should come to pass,
our memories should forever last.
I say it only once again,
'I shall not fear the foe of men.'
But if I cannot grasp our love,
our morning star shall fall above.
I shall not live but live again.
I shall love you till the very end.
But if our end were sure to come,
my heart is yours, as I lay numb.

The full
Picking the path,
In the haste of walk
Winding around 'hidden shapes ',
And shadows,
As the last strong hold.
Of day.
Losses its grasp.
To night
Mysterious unknown creatures,
Swing past in the dark.
The helpless feelings of fright.
Pushes back security.
As the last strong hold
Of the black.
Turns to indigo ink
A secure feeling condisends.
Neath the light of the full moon.

A Poem On Obsequies To A Tear
I with utmost care
Place this tear
On the funeral pyre
Don't look down
Upon a tear shed
Don't you see
Its heart still throbbing?
Its eyes beyond your grasp?
The tear still pulsating
And its breath filling the lungs?
It has many tales to recount
Connecting you to me
And us to him, her and them
Come, pay you respects
Before the pyre is lit
Before another tear is shed
And placed on the pyre.

Colonoscopy
The nurse was pretty as far as I could see
Standing there with a long hose over me
‘Good morning' she says with a smile on her face and glint in her eyes
Then gently shoves it up to give me a big surprise.
As I struggle scream and squirt
I see that her top button has come undone on her shirt
I close my eyes and grasp what I can
And feeling her breasts I say ‘by the way is your name Anne'?

Before The After Comes To Pass
Before the after comes to pass,
I wish tomorrow I could ask...
What steps I should prepare to take,
To eliminate every mistake I make.
And before the after comes to pass,
I would take and hold tightly...
With a firm grasp,
A common sense I need not defend.
As the hour approaches before the after,
Comes to pass.
Let me discover a happiness to last,
Beyond that after crosses my path.
