That eye contact when our eyes meet still sends chills through my spine blanking out my mind getting my eyes lost from such a beautiful sight legs get a little wobbly toes get all tingly arms wanting to embrace you hands wanting the touch of your skin lips calling out for yours our breaths coming as one the nose liking your wonderful smell for it is like home That eye contact when our eyes are locked for I know that our paths have converged at least I knew that for a moment you were looking for me too it only lasted for a second but you don't seem to know how a second can last for a lifetime it's like time froze as I look at you the flashback of old memories comes running through the good and the bad but boy onto this brief encounter our eyes coming together that twinkle in your eyes makes everything worth while That eye contact when the eyes are telling me to move on and let it go come back to reality before I get trapped again by your magical spell that gets me lost every single time those eyes that got me disappointed from all the hopes, dreams, expectations, and heartaches leaving me out of breath and shaky for why it only lasted that long That eye contact that I'll always remember when I should be forgetting That eye contact brought us closer but now we're distance apart That eye contact that will always capture my heart making my entire body smiling in an awe

Limitless. This world Is going To One day- Leave behind Dust Converged with The universe. Stars exploding, Their flesh imploding, With ours. We'll still be alive, In another form of life. Once dreamed An island Where Aqua blue Surrounded, So quiet. If you Stepped Far down Into the sand, You would discover Stairs leading to The Sea Floor- Breathing in, One last time. Merely Water, Looking up, You Discover That you Are in control, Not drowning... No longer Weighted, Free To swim up To the Line Where The air fills your Lungs once more. Nothing We fear Will Matter, When We Become Stardust. Stardust covering all particles. Stardust in the air. Stardust everywhere.

My candle burned alone in an immense valley. Beams of the huge night converged upon it, Until the wind blew. The beams of the huge night Converged upon its image, Until the wind blew.

I once slept with a few sophisticated rats, 5 to be exact, on a pull-out couch from a garage sale in corona, queens they had ivy league IQs; double majors in evasion and skullduggery, and a crush on my left thumb.... *the  one you ****** on as a kid...,* posited dr diaz, my shrink with an md from the lesser antilles like freaks, they came out at night, in indian file... as the raging moon dipped below my cracked glass window, and  a cimmerian shroud swallowed its receding light, and I snored... on the couch, left thumb hanging loose near the floor where a heavily highlighted textbook lay wide open... cued by the dipping moon or the rhythmic rasp ripping through the room like a stihl chain saw, the curious 5 whisked over the persian rug, or was it soiled chinese? like I said they had ivy league IQs.... thus my heavily cheesed wire traps remained engaged but cheese-less... as the curious 5 converged around the couch for dessert... ~ I skipped mgmt 301 at 10 and dr diaz gave me a rabies shot: 4 doses ig, a sterile bandage for my shredded left thumb, and a referral to his realtor... ~ P (Pablo) (8/8/2013)

Sleeping With Rats...
The Lord is my Shepherd and now I have not a single need An infinite given gift given to me for everything that I ever did was a good deed. So warm the beautiful glow upon my new complexion As I walked into his crimson fortress I can see all his creations And they were done to complete perfection. Following the beams as they all converged into one and another There showing me the way to my new home Please mourn and weep no more because I am not alone In my left hand I hold the Lords hand and in the right is son Jesus. Walking hand in hand in this heavenly bliss I am again with the ones I did miss With all the wonderful things that are up here to do, Always know that I am looking down upon you. When you see not a cloud in the sky and you feel the rush of wind come upon you Fear not for it is me wrapping my arms all around you. Until we can meet once again, rejoice in knowing that I now sit and eat at the Lords table And at night he rocks me to sleep in his pure white arms As if I’m his new born baby in his loving cradle. AMEN (SirCARSr 10-03-13)

Held In Loving Arms
With Body pretzled up, skins converged to form branches of rivers, mouth slack and frozen to a permanent scowl of delirium and manners-gone, as many swears dripped from those dry, cracked lips. One of my mothers – gumshoed from the alley’s way of family. “Get gumption, girlie, because everybody is full of **** I remember that lullaby, “A tiny turned-up nose, two lips just like a rose. She sits upon my knee, she means to the world to me.” I spy the scar on my pinky finger from her cigarette. Could the King be witness in the Room? Were those buttons of hollow wood over her eyelids? Wrung of cries – we didn’t see that coming, though we heard the flies. And Age’s stumbling rattle through the hallway. Do you know who I am? Do you remember me? Should the window washer come another day? This stubborn sovereignty over what is reality – the root beneath the porch, the fog on the windshield. Loosen the grip on this natural plane, Please -- Woman of my Childhood, harvester of my manners. Stand until the grown-ups sit. Look away and bow your neck. This was called the boxing match between Industry verses Inferiority. Not child through birth – no – but life spawned by those strung-high fists. There’s finality in this phone-call. I heard it happened an hour ago. Treading grievances and grimaces, picking through a flowerbed only to stroke the weeds. Lifting boxes of Lead from reality to the Bridge of Dreams. Frankly, I stole the gumption from your knotted mouth and still cannot cry. In a splinter of reason – I cast out the fundamental jibes of sacred hope. That promise held between dog and owner during business hours. Except there can be no homecoming. The sickest liquor on the alleyway fence.

She is spontaneous poetry, no need to be written, a dam burst of emotions subtle,on what I float along, a whirlwind at an unpredictable time of the season looking for an intimate space to churn and churn and churn. By now, I know this without her even hinting, all her dark clouds will rain in torrents nonstop in to my landscape, sultry, broad and tranquil I am an open sky, a stage ready for changing realities a cloudless calm now in meditative expansiveness, ready to change from dark, cloudy turgidity to it's contrast, white feathery fluff that's dreamy. This time round, when she visited,she did lie naked on my bed supine, looking at me wistfully for a while in my mind's sky beams of morning sun criss- crossed all the nine openings of my body tightly shut, I sat meditating. But I felt her chaotic presence in the energy field spreading, she hurriedly removed her clothes one by one,smiling in the buff she alights on my lap,a butterfly on a flower was her, by and by a sweet heaviness enveloped my ***** in union with hers I hear the primordial boom of the big bang, refining as an "Om" travelling sans any medium it goes outwards to expanding universe. to the 1"Chidakasha" where everything begins and go beyond. Her storm energy, Tantric, seeks alleviation of existential pain, I hear my glowing inner eye whispering in  light to the far galaxies, In one form she is so much, past present and future converged, She is 2"Mahatripurasundari", great enchantress of the three worlds. Shakthi, the feminine energy that moves earth, heaven and hell, Kali, the dark energy, seeking sublimation through catharsis. On me she moves like a tortoise deliberately,my nervous system reads, She would defeat the hare and win the laurel, in yogic, trance I discern.

Your mind is an abyss sated with emptiness,spore of an ink-jet, the heart is erupting with repugnant repulsiveness. Your conscience ravage by your impulsive act. You indulge in savagery shackled by misery creativity is a mystery . You diverged from an honest life and now you're perjuring in art you dark-prowlers. Converged with parasites marauding, Proud-Writers. Cursed with uncertainty you're embracing lies, in the realm of thieves there's a decaying crown.

worthy of Unworthiness
There's the eight of us, So very different But yet so much the same. Each of us holds our special traits. Our special talents Converged as an octet. Some artistic Some scientific Some linguistic and All fantastic. We love to laugh, We love to tease, We love to make a fool of ourselves. We know there's one who's always there, Spraying water everywhere, But never lets people touch her hair. And then there's one, Who's buff and tough, Her voice can change like a chameleon's skin. Next we have this pretty babe, Her furry stuff are fun to touch, She's the gentlest, loveliest llama I know. Not to forget, The one's that's brainy, Such a smarty that she can't type properly. There's also one that I believe She's really a mermaid in disguise, Her actions way too ridiculous. Of course we have this crazy kid, Too many fandoms and too little sleep. I still wonder why she needs her hood all the time. And here there's another girl, With real beautiful eyes, A perfect actress for sketch comedies. Last but not least, There's just me, I can't find a word for my personality. I don't know how far we'll go, If we'll still stay as close as we are right now. As time cruelly marches on, The day we'll part ways draws so near. This part of me knows That this magical bond That we call friendship, Will live on forever and ever. Never did I feel so sure, So confident about friendship. But you guys are so special, I really hope you know. No matter what happens, I see myself with you all forever, And you all with me. I believe in this friendship. This magical bond, That holds the eight of us, Closely together, Forever.

It’s been a long day I’m sitting in the recovery room, waiting for a late evening case to start The PACU nurses tend to two patients at opposing sides of the room Familiar cacophony of sounds – monitors softly speaking, informing the staff about their charges Heartbeat, pulse oximeter timbre, quiet respiratory alarm It’s my 7th case, I’m starting to fade The sounds are relaxing, soothing. All is well Suddenly I hear the disconjugate beeps of the two heart monitors Draw together, until For just a few precious seconds These two total strangers Completely unaware of one another Share a pulse – their hearts beating in perfect sync – the two sounds indistinguishable A beautifully symmetrical moment, almost lost In the next second, as if it hadn’t happened, their hearts diverge - once more strangers one to one another unaware of an incredibly intimate moment shared Sitting there, waiting for the case I imagine An instant in the course of history Where, for one fleeting breath, Humanity’s rhythm converged Billions of hearts in time, a nerve impulse propagated across the planet before scattering to the winds A potent event, possibly one of many that even In our modern world, still remains in the mystical

On call, waiting for the last surgery to start
In a tiny allotment right next to the zoo A miniature jungle was planted and grew The flora was dense and the air became hot But confined to a tidy rectangular plot An unthinkable duo of creatures converged And it's said that a spanking new species emerged For a curious beast was reportedly seen Roaming and munching on anything green Make haste! Away! It's the Buffagorilla! A shredder of lettuce and cereal killer With hooves at the front and hands at the rear The Buffagorilla is near! It shambles about at the darkest of hours On hedges it crunches and bunches of flowers On daffolil bulbs and petunia petals With hearty aplomb on a cluster of nettles Covertly perusing with maximum hush It can wander through gardens disguised as a bush No carrot or parsnip is safe in its bed And the marrows are quaking in vegetable dread Depart! Retreat! It's the Buffagorilla! The broccoli butcher and vegetable killer With ape like features and horns of a steer The Buffagorilla is near! So if you hear a mention of butternut theft Or notice a garden, all bare and bereft Insure your potatoes for damage and loss Give the salad a purely precautionary toss For a creature is roaming the byway and track With its legs at the front and its arms at the back And it might be your gooseberries or chervil he spies So I beg you take heed as I once more advise Be gone! Take flight! It's the Buffagorilla! The strawberry napper and cucumber killer Just hide in your cellar and steer well clear The Buffagorilla is near!

I remember a story, it starts at fourteen. I had a crooked back and low self esteem. I was afraid I was gonna end up in a ditch somewhere. I had to devise myself a plan of which direction to go if **** hit the fan and I knew my mother wanted a prodigy child So I figured I could sing or get really smart, but my voice would crack and my mind was dark, so I decided, in this crazy world, that I could rob graves. So I left home when I was sixteen my boredom peaked and my senses keened I grew with a morbid fascination with the dead It started out me figuring that they wouldn’t miss their dimes, their shoes or their hats I tramped on the dusty trail with an evil eye As I ended up along the borderline I met another young man who had gone insane. He just got back from the war. Like he said: “I’ve seen some things.” So we rode together for quite a while in the dust on the trail for a thousand miles until one night, we came upon an unmarked grave. My partner fumbled around in his pockets evading worms and maggots from his sockets. He turned around and looked at me with his crazy smile It turned out what he found was a letter and with this smile he said: “The dead have it better.” So i reached out to grab it while the stench arose. He handed it to me and on front and back I read about this lonely, old, sad sack who, being sick of life, ended up hanging himself. This really put things into perspective for me for the attention me and my partner was giving, you see, was often more than these people received in life. But one windy day the law caught on our path and with a holstered gun me and my partner had we stopped by a local tavern to wet our throats. The law had converged in the front door my partner flinched before I could do more. And before I knew it he had bolted down for the gun. Before I could say another word he dropped to the floor and his fingers curled. He rattled and faded away while I was restrained. As I was lying on my stomach on the ground I looked over and I heard a sound It was my partner whispering his final words. “The dead have it better.”

It happened in a flash! Down a winding mountain road. A trio of vacationers, Basking in snow-draped vistas Pulled off for a photo or two. Their tires quickly locked in icy snow And after the whirl of spinning tires, The undeniable truth sank in: They were most sincerely stuck! In moments, multiple door slams Echoed across the valley, And an ad hoc commission Convened and began to shovel. A half hour of elbow grease later Amid vapor-clouded cries of: “straighten the wheel,” “slow on the gas” and “all together, on three” The car eased back on the pavement. No one called "meeting adjourned" But as quickly as formed, That ad hoc gang of lesser angels Dissolved into the greater band Of good folks bonded together in life. E pluribus unum!

From Many, One
Is this not prayer? is this tool not the tool I hoped for? The pen filled by the ever-flowing flowery ink that re-news old knowns left to ripen under bald and hoary heads in stoney hearts softened by seventy years worth of salty tears and sad songs "great was the number of them, wombed ones all, who sang of the victory to be" Miriam and Hannah, Deborah and Jael, who retold those tales by the rivers of Babylon?

Sunday's muse
Gather people for a story so profound, Not created by me, But a rare, rare reality, Where forces so profound converged, Generations forward were forever altered. Where one person's heroics were another's fatal error Where a family's love was smothered in the churning waters of Big Lagoon. Big Lagoon sits north of Agate Beach shining treasures can be found in the gathering sands To the west, The ocean rises and falls To the east, The lagoon's placid grassy waters roll. It was an Indian Summer's warm, warm day, Everything it promised was delivered. Two days after Thanksgiving, I remember it well, the fog was gone, the sun was high. A family dog beach walk Howard and Mary, Olivia, Gregory, every one called him Geddie, Geddie's girlfriend, Lily. The family dog, Fran, chasing sticks in the ocean and in the sand. Time stopped for a diamond moment, sun reflecting off the ocean. To chase a stick Fran ran a ten foot wave took her under. Geddie ankle deep edged forward when within that frozen moment another giant wave emerged the cliff that is the sand gave in, in the merciless embrace of the terrible wave, He was pulled under. Down the beach Howard ran plunged into the waters to save his son, He only found Kingdom come. While Geddie made his way out of those frozen waters and could not find his father, Called by what unknown voice, He dove back under, Not to be found for hours and miles later. What is the power of love which would propel each one? Mary watching this unfold could not abide their fate and herself plunged in for one last attempt at saving grace. The ocean says "Many have fallen in but few survive." Mary and Howard rolled in and out in that frozen water's breath. While Olivia and Lily frantically called 911 and struggled on the beach out of reach. The power of the ocean the power of love had made three one. 30 minutes later Fran ran out looking to play one more round. If by the Pacific Ocean you stand see urgent footprints in the sand, By chance you hear the plaintive cry of "Marco Polo" voices calling to one another, It is the ocean singing their last lullaby.

The Tragedy at Big Lagoon/A True Story of the power of Love

Singularity
i'm two traits converged into one messy finger painted paradox a disposition to do good, but i have maleficent intentions set in stone, my mind shows me how i look in the mirror but the threads of my body are like looking through a window, then again, who isn't wondering about the reality other people hide like a facade, cleverly subdued and sinking me in cold water until the ice is all i've ever known love is a difficult topographic setup, unable to be evened out inconsistant roads and treasonous dead ends bother me because it's potential to break my interior and exterior, but what do i matter? sticks and stones don't bother me, it's the words that break my bones and assist my architecture i carefully built along with my empire built from my bare hands to tumble haphazardly out of my reach, pulling these weights along my feet for some type of hope that things will finally become clear - kra

benevolence/malevolence
She is beautiful beyond measure, excellence She is gorgeously brilliant, Her skin reflects the heavens dark canvas. Her essence illuminates like the stars lighting up the skies, journeying across the galaxies many years away. I backstroke deep within the depths of her ******** celestial milky ways. Wet Misty ocean spray erupts, splashing all over my body and face. Her u ni versal magic causes all kinds of havoc. She ferociously drags me under submerging me, deep in her underwater ballot. Keggle rip currents pulling me deeper into the depths of her dark melanin hole. Behold I can feel her heartbeat. Exhale, with asthmatic like breathing as we engaged together, unified harmoniously simutainulously. I can feel the vibrations of her eccentric, electric current flow. I plugged into her slow, submerging into her soul. Surging to converged as one, Matrimonial we shall dance forever from dawn to dust until death do us part.

U ni versal
I have wandered a street. A long and lonely street. There were people, of course. Wanderers too. But it was still, just a lonely street. There was a chill in the air, and the ever falling mist. It was dark, lonely, and cold. The people were just people, so I was still alone. I made acquaintances, many of them, along the way. But I never meant much to them. Nor they to I. Because they were just people. They could not understand me. The could not love me. And I never understood them either. And loved only a select few that I thought were different. I walked with them. We walked together. But we were always different. Yes, I loved them too much. Perhaps I still do. But we always walked different paths. Except for you. We crossed paths, many years ago when I was discovering myself. We walked a while, we talked a while. I knew you were different, even then. Something was between us. I felt it, and I knew you did too. You professed that it was love. And indeed it was. For a while afterwards, we walked together. But then something happened. My path diverged. Or maybe it was yours. Either way, we both walked alone. The road became treacherous. That dark and lonely road. I was overcome with loneliness, soaked to the bone in misery and heartache. I was molded in ways no soul should ever experience. But I endured. I learned many valuable lessons. Most of them the hard way. I fought my own demons, again and again and again. During this time, our paths converged several more times. We walked together again, for some too brief times. While our paths were split again, I tried to survive you with others. But in my heart, I always knew it was futile. They were never different. Not the way you are. They were never.. you. And I walked on. On and on. For what seemed like forever, down the long and winding road. I stumbled, I fell, I hurt, I cried, until I realized. It's you. I need you. Our paths once again converge. We are walking together again. Hand in hand. Together. Finally, I accept that we are meant to walk together, to talk together, to laugh together, to live together, to love together, down this road. Forever. And, although my demons still haunt me, at least I'll never face them alone again. And, though my road is still terrifyingly dark, at least I walk it with you. I've found you. Finally.

The world where magic reigned, a fairytale unfurled, I was water, tranquil and serene, he, fire in a whirl. Our paths converged by destiny's hand, two worlds apart, In the tapestry of love, we found a beating heart. I, a crystal brook winding through enchanted glades, He, a tempest of flames, dancing in fiery cascades. Our first encounter, a clash of elements so rare, Yet in that very moment, we became a fated pair. He roared with passion, fierce and untamed, While I whispered softly, my essence unnamed. Together, we embarked on a quest unknown, A love story woven in the stars, our destiny sown. Through the enchanted forest and twilight skies, We journeyed together, love shining in our eyes. I quenched his burning desires with my gentle tide, He ignited my soul with a fervor that couldn't hide. But our love, a tempestuous, passionate blend, A fairytale of water and fire, with no clear end. For every time he scorched, I soothed the blaze, In the ebb and flow of love, we danced for days. As the seasons passed, our love story grew, In the heart of the forest, where the wildflowers grew. We found solace in the harmony of our ways, Two contrasting elements, caught in love's maze. But as fate would have it, one fateful night, A darkness descended, eclipsing our light. An evil sorceress, jealous of our love so true, Cast a wicked spell, our destinies she'd undo. I, in my liquid form, was trapped in a crystal cell, While he, in fiery chains, descended into hell. Separated by magic, our love seemed doomed, Two halves of a whole, forever entombed. Years passed, a forlorn and desolate time, In separate realms, our love's bell did chime. But deep within our hearts, a spark remained, A love unbroken, though worlds apart, constrained. Then, one fateful day, a hero emerged, A knight in shining armor, courage surged. With a heart full of love and a sword so true, He battled the sorceress and her dark, vile crew. In the midst of the battle, the crystal shattered, The fiery chains broke, and our love was rekindled, unshattered. Water and fire, together once more, In the realm of love, we'd forever explore. With a kiss of true love, the spell was undone, Underneath the moon and the shining sun. We stood united, against all odds, A love story written in the stars by the gods. Our fairytale, both sad and sublime, Water and fire, transcending space and time. Through trials and tribulations, we'd endured, A love, pure and eternal, forever assured.

He was a blanket, covering all of me. Fabricated by the most delicate hands, he kept me warm on cold nights. And one of my favorite parts of him is that one string attached to the right side of his neck; it was as if his life depends on it. Because that very string diverged into tiny threads which spread out to his hands and feet, and converged with four other strings that lead to his heart. They are rich in color, and I wonder how just those strands of life sustain him. But sometimes his strings would loop, link, twist and turn, and I would get so tired of being pulled along; every fiber in me started to turn into a knot of uncertainty. ... He tugged on my heart strings that night though, as soon as I was about to cut the twine we had made with our fingers braided together. That's when I realized I can never really untangle myself from him and from the cross stitch of our crossed fates. Because for us to live, we need all strings attached.

all strings attached
and this is a place i’ve been before
 and this is a place i’ve seen before watching his chocolate eyes search within the reflection of anything and everything…
 he touched the surface of my conscience, waiting for the ripples to begin within 
 my heart, to begin 
 within 
 the heap of dreams inside my soul
piled there like clean laundry waiting for a 
 fresh pair of hands to fold
but his ripples came with distortion, contortion, it all became dsymorphic
 my dreams converged with memories, my desires converged with melodies
sung in familiar tenor tones, yet a voice i knew not to be my own
 my own soprano theme subdued beneath the means
 of self-discovery
that weren’t really meant for me, fettered to your contrary schemes,
playing out unwary scenes and losing myself in our routines,
 seemed i didn’t mind losing me to find your dreams. and so the heap of dreams inside my soul 
 growing moss and growing mold,
 sprouting negligence for negligees,
 thread bare, left there, lying in disarray
passed by for the chosen right of way… 
 chocolate eyes and hands on my surface skin, ripples, quakes, tremors, shakes;
 my hazel eyes opening to your mistakes. people are imperfect reflections, with our opaque complexions,
 i was not your means, your queen, your pedestal, your play-ground. 
 i was not the place for you to **** around.
 left skeptical by your lechery, your ability to capture me,
 self-identity came much more dearly… 
what i’m trying to figure out is who to be 
 and this is a place i’ve been before
 and this is a place i’ve seen before and it’s 'cause i washed up from the other shore, that i’m. ready. to. break. free.

Young as I was with driven energy, I took the fun with my sensuality. I was attracted to both genders, all were carefree indulging fantasies. And we engaged and converged, *** for free with anybody. And when done in the acrobatics, exhausted and bared after the shared lust. The acts continue with many more, at several occasions without precaution. The body once sturdy has started to melt, like a candle shining bright now has dying flickering light. The immune system infected with viral *** has succumbed to mortality as lymphocytes posted fatality. Unknowingly or intentionally same being shared physically, the virus to another innocent infecting through love's scent. And so the viral multiplies into many men and women, whose lives marred by *** and soon suffer the AIDS. Despite, many stand strong to set as epitome of courage, tell their stories to let known that such curse must DIE.
