To resist the frigidity of old age one must combine the body, the mind and the heart - and to keep them in parallel vigor one must exercise, study and love.

Frivolous

Motionless within the ambit
of moon,
the rain squirms and flickers
under the street light
in the vacuous silence
of a monolith.

A cricket walks on a cloud
and starts the lightning.
The urn was blind, fills up with grief.
The goddess climbs out of rainbow
and accepts the message
of fireworks.

After the pain, there was
frigidity. The lips will not move under
the mortgage of unvenerable words.
An innocent deal was brokered
with stings about the truth
of the wasp.

Sleeping In Flames

Even the mirror
Sleeps in flames
When you’re awake.

Tousle your hair
Asymmetrically purporting
On each of your
Frail shoulders.

I wonder
In a height that howls
What do you see in the mirror?

I watched you,
As you marvel at yourself
Spraying perfume
All over your vicinity.

I saw
A figure

Two Perfect Roses

Center bud widens
petals spreading panoptically
sucking in Spring warmth
hot Summer’s heat
sun rays of Autumn’s
dying coolness
Winter’s frigidity

steadfastly clinging
to her winding vine
heart of Rose
invites sweet halcyon
breath hot Helios breathes
from age unknown
until he kisses earth
one final time to bid his Rose
farewell

La Luna’s Rose
her perfect counterpart

~ Oxymoron ~

Delight in illuminated darkness
Towers all occult visibleness!

We hear not listen
See but don’t envision!

Hurry without hasten
Brilliance minus glisten!

Pleasure is punctual pain
Rhapsody in bleeding vein!

Joy is generous grief
Punditry in brief!

Agony in elation
Flight on cloud nine!

Deafening silence
Aids hearing in essence!

Meditation under Stars

What links are ours with orbs that are
So resolutely far:
The solitary asks, and they
Give radiance as from a shield:
Still at the death of day,
The seen, the unrevealed.
Implacable they shine
To us who would of Life obtain
An answer for the life we strain
To nourish with one sign.
Nor can imagination throw
The penetrative shaft: we pass
The breath of thought, who would divine
If haply they may grow
As Earth; have our desire to know;
If life comes there to grain from grass,
And flowers like ours of toil and pain;
Has passion to beat bar,
Win space from cleaving brain;
The mystic link attain,
