special to some
an angel to one
millions of stars
yet only one sun

comets do burn
travel fast and burn bright
but the sun is eternal
and so pure is it's light
Boss is one who gives
any thing but not time

autumn wind
shakes the dark clouds…
a laugh bursts

the rising mist
catches my skin…
warm fingers

sound of rain
on the roof…
a tap dance

on leaves…
the thump they bring
unroot silence

water strips
outside the window…
puddles crackle

fallen leaves
float by and by…
waving shadows

wind and the rain… ticks everywhere

rain drops blend moist air….. sweetness

loud gasps
from the skies…
thunder

lightning flashes
a brief glimpse…

Who am I ?
Can I ever aspire to touch that shining spot,
Suspended in the entirety?

This base form is bound.
Every agent a shackle;
Every constant a fetter.

And 'this' the final frontier beyond which lies the ever unattainable.

I am but a constituent;
A byproduct.
An aberration.

And such shall never surpass the goal of ordinance.
Or seek to know more than that which is due.
For futile is this search
And that which I hope will ensue from it.

All eyes on me.
Their field of vision lash against my walls.
Eroding them like the frothy waves gnawing at the desolate fort.
These walls that I've raised to hide...
Hide what? I ask.
Surely something that they mustn't know.

Their tongues wade at me.
I strain my ears to catch what they hide from me.
The slightest wind could exalt me to exhilaration
Or, depress me into the tar pit of my own creation.
Where am I headed? I ask.

I am besieged.
The intruder is at the perimeter.
Why am I here? I ask.
The walls are giving away to the tempest.
But they haven't reached me yet.
They are trained at my scent like blood hounds.
I sound the alarm and curl back deep within.

My station hangs precariously.
Will the pillars hold?

Surreal!
The silence is interlaced with notes.
Phantom notes that don't exist and yet are as real.
Colorless and yet shining in the most awe-inspiring light.
I rise with one
and there is another to catch me like a trapeze artist
before i sore again.
so in tune.
I feel detached from Time.
I used to wonder whether -
time is the proof of my existence
Or my existence the proof for Time?
But the cynic in me is now drunk in tranquility.
Ineffable...
Yet i try to bind this experience in trivial modes of expression.
I have felt this before and am feeling it now,
My consciousness stretched across time;
a sphere that surrounds me.
In this state I AM -  
creation and obliteration;
order and chaos;
knowledge and ignorance;
reality and imagination;
bound and liberated;
the experience and the observer;
here and everywhere;
and NOT.

Walking down a corridor as dark as blindness,
But for a flickering source of illumination.
In these moments devoid of visual information
Alone with my thoughts.
I think...

Maybe the universe (It) exists intermittently.
Ceasing to be amidst states of being.

Maybe this cantor dust reality
Wears a façade of continuum.

I shall never know.
For such knowledge demands
My presence in Its absence.
Which shall never be
For both in absence and presence
I and It are one.

Here I slip through the web.
strands morphing,
Splitting into alternate narratives,
Knotting into irresolvable chaos.
Back once again in the dark corridor.

Maybe I'll catch a loose strand  
The next time I walk down
A corridor as dark as blindness,
But for a flickering source of illumination.

Seeds of pure Brahma appear
In the dark nothingness.

In their infinitesimal
Yet infinite dimensions
They carry the code for all creation.

Some fade away.
Some persist.
Propelled through will,
An urgency to occupy and diffuse.

Annihilation or coalition are inevitable.

Some acquire magnificent tinges
Worthy of acknowledgement.
Others marred and maimed
Are left to wither in exile.

I meditate on the most promising one.
Feel its inarticulatable essence
As the intangible element
Vanquish the void.

The One now unfolds.
Accreting into thoughts
Before passing through
The sieve of judgement.

These thoughts sublime I crystallize.
Choosing at will to blemish them
With motley emotions
Or monolithic reason.

I,
The creator,
Awestruck by my own creation,
The most magnificent in the domain
Wherein I reign supreme,
Hesitate.

I hesitate to articulate.
Knowing full well that tongue
Will never be able to bear
The simple complexity
And the complex simplicity
Of thought.
God is alive for ever
Because
He was never born
The first word 
             to remember
The last word 
             to forget
The best word
             to deal in between
is "LOVE"

mind of Mind,
so subtle
as to be
illusory.

heart of Heart,
so immersed
as to be
hidden.

Heart-Mind      Human,
the Mesocosm,
Here.

**** and ****
visceral,
blood and love-making,
eating,
sleeping,
breathing...

Here we are.

Observing
the landscape
the artist
including
her-
self.

Eyes there are...searching the Unknowable
Face, as for the inviolate intimacy of
reflection.
The momentary consequence of existence,
as image concerns image...desolate
perception has gotten lost amongst these.
Faithless certitude where from what may
be put to light and plucked from it...for
that which is not seamless stands opposable.
Thus...reflection encourages transparency,
relinquishes fortitude, this our disparity
is searchable.
Were that seasons would quarrel amongst
themselves, what is known of a year would
be cast out of time.
Eyes there are...searching the Unknowable
Face, as for the inviolate intimacy of
reflection...space upon the deep of space.
...Perforated by light that is its continuum...
eyes there are searching the Unknowable Face.
