A offer to differ

We offer condolences
Without knowing the impact of death
We offer the advices
Without knowing what is wrath

We only feel
Try to steal
Not knowing what to do
It is exactly true

To know the sweetness
You must test bitterness
To know the truth
One must know the untruth

To know the test of wine
Under intoxication one should feel fine
To smell the flavor
One must know the flower

The Lone Star

As the stars melt away into the darkness
Leaving behind their unearthly glow
The first signs of life on earth
With faint streaks of golden beams show

A journey begins, a new day comes
A kettle of tea, on the fire it warms
The stars, they left, for the heavenly abode,
Twinkling, bursting, on the galaxy road

A lone star trudges on
It has to make its journey alone
A relative motion, for the whole day ahead

And coming back, to where it stayed
It does not want to return to where
Is the dark sky, the place called Nowhere
Lose identity, amidst the constellation

Or hide behind the blinding intoxication

Starlight In Your Eyes

Some lyricist once wrote
“I want to melt the
Starlight in your eyes.”

I wish I could think up
A romantic phrase like that
Instead of trite lines
That seem so pat.

I try to write
In my desperation
Guess I need to fall in love again
To receive an inspiration.

Fall in love—
That’s a good explanation
For man’s
Ubiquitous intoxication.

With that

Yesterday's Flower

Yesterday's Flower

sunshine falls on potent flowers
like the nectar of youth's love
' blooms in emerald green ', held captive rose buds

dance to the music of the wind
life at first soft and sweet subtle
a whisper behind the floral scene

we're short lived as the fragrance arose
for the intoxication of seasons past
the celebration of flower's spring
worn thin life's very stem

dew drops hang so sparkling clear
and the musk of a honeysuckle nights
caress the moment and kiss good-by
youth the bloom of a new flower

Déjà vu

There it was again, that familiar awakening
In your arms, in that ecstasy, too exquisite
The intoxication, like traveling through light
Through those eons we did together as one

It all comes back to me the same way
One moment of your ancient presence
Your breathe upon me; I find my way back
Overwhelmed with memories of our lives together

The security that blankets over my feverish senses
One more moment with you, I thirst in elation
In your arms, not of this earth that binds me
I reel, I fall, I wake up in you, euphoric again

The ancient secrets of our mingled breathes
Your gentle kisses; ballads from all of time
I am alive in everything you witness, I am you
Take me again beautiful, rhythm me your secrets…

Last Supper

For this meal.

Just one glass of wine.
Helps to ease Mine Mind.
Later a bottle of meths.
Will put Head to Rest.

All. One glass of wine...
Remedy. Salve. Readily... Feel... Fine...
Problems flutter... Escape... Evaporate mind...
Contentment cementment... Peace plastered... Blind...

Hands now Cease to shake.
Cut free from Inhumane human Race.
For this meal. Must always Common Sense steal.
Drunken driver. Wilt sit Soon. Behind spinning Wheel.

Just one glass of wine.
Instantaneous intoxication. Sprung sponged mind.
No more Found troubled times.

The Beauty

Beauty is the bliss
Contained in Five letters
Timeless Infinite;
In feasting the eyes
Harmonious and melodious
To the ears
And in the sweet heart
Which lies behind these Joys;

In the nature
The greenery, the rivers and mountains
The flora and fauna
The full moon

Lies beauty In the union of the hearts

And in the intoxication it creates;
and in their separation
pain and hurt Is present beauty
When we get what we desired

Ambiguity

I walk over thoughts, breathing my ambiguity
I sometimes have to walk away, singled out and solo
First thing in the morning; like the gentle breeze on my skin
I walk away the edges, to soothe my hot brow

My face against the cool grass, fresh and green in dew pools
My fingers over orphan flowers - lilacs with secret rights
I succumb me, my peace in sage dawns
Beyond wisdom, that dances me into the euphoria

I am cast; the monk from layered lives
Whirling in the intoxication of a thousand dreams
I wish them alive, I give them my magic form
As every breathe vapour, into the mystery

Some of us are Phantoms that freedom surged forth
On realities that shaped from forgotten portals
We drink from destiny that thrives on our lives
Slaking deep, from earth's ancient lore...

In The Laboratory

To the colourless plants of life,
I am in the laboratory with my mind;
So, read this poem like legumes so sweet.
Peas, beans, maize and peanuts;
To set the criteria with my mind when,
True love touches my heart.

This was during the transfer,
On the conveyors to meet my love;
The sparkle and the creamy foams tells it all.
I am in the laboratory with,
Words to sprout out like legumes;
Triticum Vulgare,
Triticum Dicoccum,
Hordeum Distichum,
All carefully tested for the muse of love.

To age and to clarify things,
Like the docoction of honey;
I am the hole out of a rock with,

In The Basement Sleeps A Serpent

An apple
on her moiré red silk
sits daintily posed,
awaiting to be stripped
unto her porcelain
and in the perfect time
an apple can brew
the perfect intoxication
and piquant poison

The keys
that we rummage for
and constantly hunts
like gilded silvers
with insufficient silhouettes,
sound, weight or sex
are the same keys
that shall unlatch
the doors it bolted
