how do you paint water, or clouds? I could read poetry for the brief, of my of remaining life, however brief, and never be satiated, of love, and streams of water, never stilled, always running in patterns that exist, but for milliseconds, admired by clouds born in, of, a moment of re-formation that is perpetuity long: unending shape shifting, like the freedom of flowing water currents, forming, reforming and unthinkable, nay, inconceivable that human eyes or their spoken words could capture their shiny white foamy essence But of love, that we can do, paint, design, recreate its endless loops of undulations, like the radiating circularity of a pebble dropped gently to its burial sight in a quiet pond. Humans know, understand and excel at clasping and grasping at the synapsing of human cells from differing bodies: the exogenous erogenous of human touch that like the clouds and the water, who could paint that, who capable of capturing said sensations that wrack and enliven the body with invisible interior chemical reactions. I cannot. Thankfully better men and women have treatised  their entreaties to the powers of the universe and been rewarded with the skilled delicacy of weaving human tapestries, the milliseconds of connectivity, eclectic and electrifying of different currents and differing amperage’s forming and reforming like water moving, just  like the clouds changing in response to the externalities of wind and gravity and all the forces of nature that encourage us to study and stare at these flows, hoping to entrance them into standing still for but a moment, and instead, mesmerizing us into standing motionless for hours in awe of their freedom. Love’s undulations too mesmerizing, and freezing us into place, or alternatively caucus to run endlessly arms extending, flying though not airborne, rocketing us upwards while feet never budging, but finding good wards, masterful metaphors to recreate and thus to share the fabulous mystery of this thing we know as love. 2:58AM Friday jul 22 (jewel 22) of the 23rd year of the 21st Century.

Candles burn, candles blaze, A Soul with a flesh, An angel not yet matured. Candles dim, candles fade, A Soul darkens, An angel becomes human. Candles brighten, candles enliven, A Soul enlightened, An angel discovers God’s grace. Candles glow, candles glimmer, A Soul is Called from flesh, An angel gains her wings. Candles’ light, candles’ shine, Though Souls remain in flesh, And she in Paradise, With them, God’s angel still resides. Candles’ flame, candles’ fire, Souls of conflict, souls of Love, God’s healing Peace and Grace be with them An angel of Heaven above dwelling in their midst.

Was every word from you actually heartfelt Or were you played with it Was the longing that you said genuine Or was it all act The longing for you Has been a part of me Though the sun sets Though the sky changes Though the spring fades My heart still never lost track of you The beauty of rainbow Put a smile on every face After ugly rain But only full moon Would keep with my gloomy night Longing for you Don’t lie to your heart That once embraced by hope Before it invites uncertainty To accept my love Enliven a thousand sweetness From the past grasp To end my longing Link our bond of love To make us one Cause it is all mutual Let go the anguish along the horizon To brighten the full moon Which would witness our talking hearts.

Longing
Let me meet you in a marbled                                                  field of                                                            sand...                                                                                                       Though you bewitch me with clifftops hooded in emerald grass ...                                                  Though your sheep bleat loudly the marvel of your serenity...                                    Though you wait patiently beyond your lonely precipice,              I cannot endure the eons                                          raging against the cliffs of your security. Every passing year, the thunder of my broken waves gouges deeper into your wounded coastline. Every rock torn from your embrace, resounds the pain of our growing rift Every crumbling cliffs edge dissolves the beauty I held in reverie...                       I wound us in this way. Let me meet you in a secluded                                                      gentle                                                                 cove... There,     upon quieted sands, my waves will softly stroke your skin. There,     the lions will laugh in cacophonous delight at our simple joy. There,     our worlds will dance as pebbles tumble into diamond crystals. There, a child will listen woefully,                                  the sea song of our love. With eyes in contented darkness,          With a soul filled, overflowing                      With the power of bearing witness                                                                to this daily wonder. Each      breath brings her deeper into the burning core of her mind, Each      thought sparks the flame brighter Each      billowing blaze will enliven her roots, and                                                                                   she will bloom.            Then, her eyes will open to a shimmering world, glistening through tears of quiet understanding.                      Then, breath will guide the salt of our dance into her veins                                   Then,          she will dance to the song of our world. With arms wide as eyes,                she will embrace                       this treasured moment                                    With the divinity of her mortality. When the moment calms, she will walk solemnly through our shallows. When my waves pull home at her ankles, When the crystalline pebble shines brightly in her visage she will reach with focused surrender through my water for a memento of the love she feels so presently. In our slow dance, of Land and Sea,                our love bears its fruits in tiny treasures. In her little pocket,                              the diamond of our love will travel further into your heart than my waves ever could. In this way...                   you and I grow fonder                                                              with every passing day.

I am ready to ring your rib around my wrist in triumph— the faintest of relics enliven me. My lips still layered as in the night you lost them. I hope to hammer your heart & stuff its soil in the sutures of your skull; I want to call that the shadow to kintsugi; I want our memories never to seep; to set them up for decryption. Unloving is a study— consider an archaeologist’s tentative hands demystifying an artifact once treasured for its secret & leaving no spots behind.

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
Prelude "Let's go" his soft whisper the mantra, in his voice she hears the esoteric voyage through the cryptic high seas of self, fathomless, unmapped, uncharted and reachable only by the most fearless ready to unbind and make the self free for it's adventure, begins thus for the peaceful pair complementing the absolute for a life time, til they reach there and find themselves one with                       pure consciousness. "Let's let's, but only together" she chants in unison,with him. 1. Bidding good bye to ego, clad in red and black a beast, not easy to bring to it's  knees, submit, the high horse proud,raring to go,having  sharp horns sticking out, fierce, that goes berserk,on seeing white. Altogether a curious construct, that dictates terms- they set about, invoking the blessing of the flame of light. 2 They stood together,  eyes widely shut, bringing both palms together,in front of their  chests creating a lotus bud, symbolizing hearts,bowing each other in "Namaste",-bows the divinity in thyself- chanting the mantras of peace, thrice, each time, repeatedly. 3 "Lets go back to the begining of every begining.." the primordial hum, transcending quagmires of time in the path of our ancestors,who did see the" unseeable", without eyes, knew the "unknowable",diving in to the ocean depth of self,going inwards chanting"Neti, Neti" Not this, Not this, inquiring each till the essence did reveal. 4 They did this, focusing the eye of the mind, on the eye beyond all, that watches every small thing in universe. Mind, sharpened like the blade of a sword,efficient to cut the Gordian knots,of paradox, duality and illusion, encountering the silence that thickens at last, speaks the words of wisdom,patient they are, to know the ultimate, right there at the source of light that is the true essence of all, 5 Celebrate the pure consciousness, that pervades in every thing, the thought that begets all thoughts,that  moves on to be karma, that becomes purer, through the cycles of lives, one after another. "Let's be humble, utmost, sans the ornamental clothes of pride. May the thought reigning cosmos, the spirit of peace,chanted aloud, take us to it's sanctum sanctorum and melt us in to it's divine embrace. Only one there is, all are it's integrals,the divine cosmic hum 'Aum' that enliven the universe within each cell, remember , is eternal"                                                 #@@#

I Aint No Millionaire
Your skin like the smooth, creamy Half and half that I love to taste, That I dump excessively Into my coffee, my coffee which Slowly turns into the color of your Light latte hair. Rich aroma, strong taste. Your warmth fills me up, our passion The steam rising from a hot morning drink. The need to wake up with you Envelops me every morning. I love you more than my favorite coffee cup. I need you more than I need my caffeine fix. You always know how to Seductively enliven my senses When we're in bed. I whistle for you like the boiling water I forgot on the stove ages ago, And it's still singing.

Latte Love
Those golden days Amidst fun and frolic, Those cherished moments Of smiles and laughter, Are they not clinging On our vine of memory? Can we let them Just fade into oblivion? In our march At breakneck speed, To sustain in This illusionary world, Can we not Keep in touch, And associate again, To reunite, In a reunion? Can we not Spare some moments, To lift our heads, From the hectic schedule Of our monotonous life, To enliven our spirits, And afresh rejuvenation, Preserve our memories From the brink of oblivion?

Mediocre Flow  (Spoken Word- Freestyle-Dramatics) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ==Mediocre Flow == by SassyJ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ (Copy the link below to your browser) https://soundcloud.com/user-367453778/mediocreflow In the woods I get lost, arrays of green specked by the rays of the sun. The wind blows but its swift in measure. I get lost my body in the breeze, as the time runs faster I breath slower. Lost in the wonder of the nature. I lay it all down, the worldly desires, disused contributions… all in the mediocre flow. The grounds feels so alive, alone but never lonely. The trees talk to me, they journey my vulnerabilities. A hug of the branches goes far beyond. The only lean over that drives me to ecstasy of …….my mediocre flow. All done with expectations and chasing the unending mazes. We become the mistresses of the earth, arching and protracting with emotions, lotions ……looming greyed blues. Hold this packet of stars, I pass it to you to touch, to overflow in it’s magic and fantastic voyages of the. …..mediocre flow Feel the greenness patched on the muddy grounds. Have the enliven nature of the flying bubble. See the flow of the waters, the contraction of the streams to the lakes. Touch the drops….the raindrops, nurture them as they sink below your feet. Feel the life, feel alive….. the mediocre flow

those who created wind and water had many reasons, but their first purpose was to constant enliven the human mind with the softest message that true freedom is never bounded nature’s song is refrained, “man, be unrestrained,” nature’s majesty is then greatest, for men fool themselves with lines, divisions and walls. Earth’s best, humans too,  best seen in its unconstrained, searching character. this is the one, only truth. 12:07am Sun Jul 12

oh, violet, where have you gone? i miss you. stars still enliven the shadowy night sky, but those far-reaching streaks of lavender escaped the evening’s backdrop before I could engrave them into my memory. the snug, lilac comforter on my own bed no longer a safe haven, a rigid, metal cage, trapping me within my midnight hallucinations. eyes close over and over again, yet i can’t find a way to escape from the pale, mauve speckles that dotted your brown eyes whenever the moonlight shined down on them. oh, violet, where have you gone? i miss you. i followed your footsteps, etched into the remains of my heart, repaired so below par with the thinnest papier-mâchéu. but they only led me to a solemn place where no soul had ever set foot. faultless, pallid fingertips trace over deep, orchid indentations of your name, carved heavily into the walls, framing my hiding place, wholly staining your acrid touch into yet another expanse of myself. every last brush of skin on the hard plaster, sent me searching, further and further away from you. laying motionlessly, overtaken by worn-down gusts of yesterday’s altitudes. oh, violet, where have you gone? i miss you. daybreak sun rises, somber shades of purple escape from the horizon. i haven’t slept a second, for i fear the dark purple tint that lies behind my eyelids. light pours through thin cracks of closet doors, yet the illumination fails to cast shadows off your rigid silhouette . oh, violet, where have you gone? i miss you. i miss you.

oh, violet, where have you gone? i miss you. stars still enliven the shadowy night sky, but those far-reaching streaks of lavender escaped the evening’s backdrop before I could engrave them into my memory. the snug, lilac comforter on my own bed no longer a safe haven, a rigid, metal cage, trapping me within my midnight hallucinations. eyes close over and over again, yet i can’t find a way to escape from the pale, mauve speckles that dotted your brown eyes whenever the moonlight shined down on them. oh, violet, where have you gone? i miss you. i followed your footsteps, etched into the remains of my heart, repaired so below par with the thinnest papier-mâchéu. but they only led me to a solemn place where no soul had ever set foot. faultless, pallid fingertips trace over deep, orchid indentations of your name, carved heavily into the walls, framing my hiding place, wholly staining your acrid touch into yet another expanse of myself. every last brush of skin on the hard plaster, sent me searching, further and further away from you. laying motionlessly, overtaken by worn-down gusts of yesterday’s altitudes. oh, violet, where have you gone? i miss you. daybreak sun rises, somber shades of purple escape from the horizon. i haven’t slept a second, for i fear the dark purple tint that lies behind my eyelids. light pours through thin cracks of closet doors, yet the illumination fails to cast shadows off your rigid silhouette . oh, violet, where have you gone? i miss you. i miss you.

While dancing through the floral fields, where pungent scents abound-- My soul is filled with loveliness, like nothing else around. The gentle breeze caresses, each row of colored flowers-- A place where one could lie alone, and meditate for hours. I've wandered daily to the hills, where green and gold tones meet-- And the light fresh touch of lavender, remains the ultimate treat. Faintly blue and purple hues, enliven nature's scene-- Each soft wisp of lavender dust, recalls a Provence dream. Imagining a little French girl, skipping merrily down each aisle-- With tall strands of native flowers, while wearing an enchanting smile. Someday I'll visit this country town, in rural, rustic France-- And comb the lacy fields of lavender, whenever I have the chance.

O’ woman…. Such an enchantress be you; In your smiles, You live warm! You live charmed… You enliven the aura of the Heaven! O’ woman… In your hands, You hold the scepter; you rule! You make and feed You care your fawn, You tend pain And you pleasure thy lord! O’ woman… Your eyes, as mischief sparkles; So does many dreams; Glitter! Wake up… Make them all true! Go reach out the stars… Give them some of your twinkle! O’ woman… In your being, You paint a galaxy Alive as if it were Lord’s scheme alone! O’ woman Heed yourself Shed not those tears… They be a waste Don’t stain your pretty face… Walk, trudge and explore That pace of life.. In your mere presence; You make Everyone’s living possible! O’ woman, You be the gem… Shining bright and true! Preach your worth; Priceless in measure!

Woman
She followed the wind as she sang into the night, A lullaby for all the children sleeping wrapped up tight, A song to soothe a thousand souls, Upon the breast to enliven a thousand goals. The joyful and saddening songs of the night, Passed between ruby lips - a joyful sight. Her heart burning with passion, Her eyes a glow, She started up humbly, coarse and low, A story of a young girl turned old, Up in Scotland, starting her journey through the cold, Caledonia, it's title my sweethearts, you will see, My song, forged from experience and joyful glee.

The Walk I got red clay and grass on my feet today in the land of the Navaho it seemed I channeled one of their Braves it seemed my eyes grew stronger the buttes and mesas the southwest had on familiar adoring that flows with a fluidity in the driest land yet still the streaming it breaks free and flows down to the Valley then it arrests the high distant peaks like your eyes become the bow shooting at the target straight And true with speed it passes stationary objects it brings them to intensified life they are passed in a whirl No longer are they so fixed as they were nothing now they enliven my heart it beats faster with the joy they Possess magic it lies in depths of tree and scrub it appears as a wild and crazed painter of the caliber of Van Gogh started at a certain point definitely he favored red as his base color then with differing shades Of green he cloaked this thermal world it would be uniquely different a somber invitation to a feast at first Glance seemingly a hard pronounced edge but a people with dark red to brown skin walked into this World they put the finish to perfect with indigo as their primary color of dress what living moods now Stand out against the red terrain singularly or as a tribe they clashed with this scenic land earth and sky Had a joining place among a people that were formable there power they were educated not by Scholarly universities but by rock streams trees and from creatures that learned to survive in a hostile Environment it’s interesting to note that one of our most robust presidents an easterner when his wife And mother died within days of one another Teddy Roosevelt chose the west as the place to seek Healing for his devastated life the rest of his life is a pretty good testament to this place and it’s curative Powers not bad for a rocky dry land thought by most to be worthless just an observation of one whom Walked in the paths of a rich diverse and proud people I think my Cherokee grandmother would be Proud she always talked about where we would go she took a detour and went to heaven instead in the Meantime I will do the earth side adventures for the both of us

The myriad of possibilities enliven my ******** semantics somewhere to go when my slippers tell me not to The words that i exhale are the engine that fuels imagination something to sustain when my noggin is void The vibrancies that rattle me attribute to the found experience somehow they strum when my heartstrings are mute The mountains that topple me serve demise to my slippery friends someways i have adapted now i listen to blue boots

Footwear Poetry
Dear friends many of you have moved from surroundings I knew and loved with you but my memories of us have not defused like clouds hanging dark but always new. In old age it is the memories that flow and make you present with hearts beating wildly times we drank beer decrying the status quo and when we celebrated little things like being Friday. We celebrated a lot when life was so full alive with discoveries, conflicts, and diversity when our desires and thoughts pushed and pulled and we felt pain and hope in multiplicity. But now so many of you are gone to places unknown: some to you and some to me and together we won’t know joys of new dawns we will deal with things like that **** aching knee. For some of you your children are grown for me poetry, love, and God enliven and wake me up but nobody can take from me the bonds I have known bonds cast with you in sharing, caring, and lifting life’s cup. In long moments in a waiting room trying to ignore the next challenge of my body I’ll be grateful. I’ll not dwell in spaces of doom I’ll remember those times of being good or naughty. I’ll visit the rooms and the halls where we gathered to learn and teach in those precious moments of my recall I’ll gather you together for the universes we’ve yet to reach. Written 6-30-18

Letter to My Old Colleague Friends (Epistolary form)
Space to make change an indelible part of life Encourage the stagnant side to enliven its speech Flourishes of energy folding in on one another Pecking, their beaks marking time with biting tongues Sqeamish reminders of circus clowns vying for laughs Staring eyes and red painted smiles freakishly scaring The innocent rosy cheeked wondrous audience Clapping the skin from their fingers while querelous Adults sit bored hoping to borrow a new time zone Spot checking the interest of those encroaching their space Space to make change an indelible part of life To fool the viewer of the showcased goods before their Sell by date, when holding onto stagnation pales the hand of change Quell the nausea that preludes sickness leaving that vile taste Rancour alongside a grinning mass of stained teeth borrows Sweating it out with flailing words of ignorant abandonment Scorching hot tears racing one another, dripping from lowered Eyelashes, coaxing the seeping colour coated debris to release To wash away the dirt, leaving streaks of diluted aftermath Space to make chnage an indelible part of life

Space to make change an indelible part of life
• *1. The past drowned me deep, Then you came to my rescue, My valorous knight. 2. Oh, your touch mended, All laceration I felt, You remake me whole. 3. You walked beside me, Hold me tightly all the way, Oh how I feel safe! 4. You gleam immensely, This pitch-black path I’m treading, You lead me the way, 5. Sweet arms envelop, Gives me warmth when I feel numb, Your chest, my console. 6. Your words, my manual, That keeps me in the right tract, Accord assurance. 7. Your smiles uplift me, Bring me to jubilation, My joy provider. 8. Your laugh enliven, Move my soul into elation, You’re all I needed. 9. Then you give me glimpse, Of how paradise looks like, Your eyes sent me there. 10. Your love lifted me, Took me to heavenly realms, With you, I feel free. 11. We lie in the clouds, Unleash this passion within, In this bed so dear. 12. Me and you alone, Leaving the world behind us, And savor our love. * with love <3 © Earl Jane ♥ E.J.C.S.
