Did you see the bliss Shoot across the night sky? Here then there so quickly Like a blink could project its moment Yet when crumbling Into the quake of memory It is the window's remaining rain Trickling down so slowly after the storm Until all that is left is its drying trail Clear to see the tired clouds sink behind A heart so weathered Never truly sleeps. Never rests The hallow beats manifest Into the crippling visions of the night Blanketed by such distress Until the rising light does nothing But awaken the regrets that were left on the nightstand Like a book with one chapter No where left to turn Do you see the ache Shining dim in the night sky? Like a footprint in the moon's dust As alone as one could ever walk Do you see the shame? Like forty dying stars Their fiery, blazing eyes Watching every paranoid jitter

Like Forty Dying Stars
Every blue patch on the sky keeps an eye, cherishing clouds dancing, hovering over. The songs of deep blue ride the heady air, only to be stunned, all of a sudden, at the first sight— sung down on a perfectly placed mural. The Queen of Sheba tiptoes this way; King Solomon leans to the ground, only to find seas of silent blooms musing, dipping in sun-kissed dews— on gently tilted roses that will not fall, not from this picture-perfect, navel-high! Velvety, the rose rises from the ground; the forever-green Earth hangs low, in the dew on the rose that will not fall. Blossoming, eyeing an acute high, evermore hopeful to scale upward, toward the faraway, awaiting heaven's pool. There, the spotlight does not move— neither north nor south, nor up nor down— until Queen Fathima, the Queen of Heaven, steps on the "as above, so below" slope. There, the newly resurrected Earth will be primed, its minted atoms vibrating beyond bounds, rising, for the first time, atop the navel-high. Perfectly wrapped, the atom's circle finally turns on— the stepping stone that holds no pi-decimal hole. Pure Scientia hangs on the door of Paradise, awaiting the numerically perfect Queen Fathima to step. God willing, she will work in beauty: the most sought-after, perfect works of art— the lost masterpiece, not in translation, but hidden within the pi-decimal abyss of Earth's depth. Lo, the gleaning Sleeping Beauty peeps, trailing the role model Queen. Fathima—the first woman to enter Paradise— walks the walk: perfect, straight, numerically precise. As if she always knew, back from the Earth, of the murals ahead, hanging on Paradise’s wall, mathematically exact! Mirrors of imagination, new wonders on Heaven’s way, etched in the murals at the golden section, navel-high. She zooms past the ever-spinning atom’s perfect span, cemented at the entrance of Paradise. Yet leaves no footprint— for she never did, even on the sublunary Earth. A new wonder blooms in the classic old eyes: oh, Pi, still irrational, still pondering, at the measured, eternal navel-high!

Earth to Heaven: Navel High
Every blue patch on the sky keeps an eye, cherishing clouds dancing, hovering over. The songs of deep blue ride the heady air, only to be stunned, all of a sudden, at the first sight— sung down on a perfectly placed mural.

Every atom is lenient towards the human being streaming up from the deep root they spur laying down the perfect descending of the stars. They can take on the stellar in their deep club that shows up opening the windows up in the sky and down on to the earth cast their eyes! The slim fit sharp atom knows all the shortcuts constantly vibrating not a single star can catch nor will it ever thin out – it has the extraordinary stroke of luck. But the eyes are on the humans not over the amber.  Dreaming to be physically absorbed within the human being to be in the human’s divine proportion ever transcendental a far cry from the sun and the moon but with it both gel together!  Once they came so close almost touched the dream they rose to the occasion, squaring the circle, laser scanning through, as above so below, so humble. Submitted them without waxing lyrical took the brush off the colour bowl of the day then blindfolding the moon in the night reached out to the paragon of the phi mania, flawlessly made to measure, numerically perfect Fathima! Presented themselves before her as pure blank whereon she can jot like her chalkboard or do as she please like she could show up taking it as her shadow in silhouette, she exactly did that. Touched down on the earth, in the veil and revealed her as above so below. The ocean moved stirred the water but none saw the sunshine behind the full moon in bloom that steals the starry night. Day in day out Fathima did all in a veil she lived and gone. Keeping the atom on its toe ever honing tracing the footprint in its own shadow as once a human being without a mark crept in it lived in pi magic and leaped out!

*In stillness, and splendors of the oceans glint, I casually walked down memory lane, Leaving behind, lovely memories with each passing footprint. Calming sapphire waters, creased upon the shore, Bringing mild sudsy currents, Crashing onto the smooth silky sands, like never before. As sparkling seashells decorated the seaside, Tumbling gently, Upon the tiny creamy sprinkles of grain, as I glanced along the side.*

In Stillness And Splendors Of The Oceans Glint
Though the first carried more miles, the second day of the hike was totally and unapologetically uphill. 
When you ascend, hiking becomes the zen of endurance. 

First, you are stripped of all the pleasures of hiking. Your excitement is boiled into lactic acid. Your love for the trail is baked, hardened and dehydrated into thoughts of laying down in the sun until the heat shrivels you into an unconscious raisin. 

Try as you may to put on your “isn’t hiking just a slice of heaven?” face, strangers passing you on the downhill stride can only see your “PLEASE GOD, HELP ME OR ******* **** ME” face. As much as hiking really is a small slice of heaven, there is no denying the living-death of taking 10 straight miles to the knees under the chaffing hell of a 50 pound sack in the relentless sun. 
 But when you’re back in an office, sitting on your cushy little ergonomic chair, you long for the sweat and the torture that forces your mind to the ankle deathtraps of mountain terrain. To the deep valley behind and below you, and the crystal basin at the foot of the granite Giants. 

The worst thing you can do is ignore the pain—that makes it relentless. Instead you focus on the pain until you become it. The only thing left is the moment between each step, when you remember why you are here and what it is worth. Every time your foot touches dirt, it leaves twice the footprint. One on the mountain and another in your memory where you will safeguard the misery of your ascent and hold on for dear life. One day, when your knees are too weak and your body can no longer table your pack, all the pleasures and joys of the trail that you once thought dissipated in the steam of uphill toil will come rushing back with the magnified strength of every year between you and the present you once knew and respected enough to actually live. And if you didn’t, if you let it only be pain to get through and not to focus or dwell on, then that is what it is and will always be. A dull memory of pain, dark and somber and incomplete.

The nakedness of winter lies heavy upon the tolling Sunday quietude Shed  leaves perish into yesterday and the dream of another dawning  someday wanes The  sun ― lay low the drudging  ashen  skyline   Barerd emerald moss scaffolds draw much more distantness to the pallid shadowed horizon The evergreens step forth, roots grasping sacred heart, soil  and  rock In the swelling aloneness you can feel the grain of  the  heartwood rooted in your soul There are no hard feelings but there's an enduring ache, like a tree with a rotting limb languishing  within its blackened bark sacrifice It's not just the grinding time that slips away begrudgingly; more of the same takes a toll  as if another unrung belfry hour in an empty bell tower without a song rang out in vain, peeling  reflections of reluctant hours  c r a w l  by in the insensible apathy A so called holiday passes ― its footprint bears down hard  and  deep as if a paling winter rose grieves its own passing A dry wishbone unbroken lay bare the poignant truth  it  holds; it takes two to make this wish come true .

Dried Wishbone in an Empty Bell Tower ...
They hate the shadow of the bird over the high water of the white cheek and the conflict of light and wind in the salon of the cold snow. They hate the bodiless arrow, the precise handkerchief's farewell, the needle that keeps the pressure and the rose in the cereal blush of the smile. They love the blue desert, the swaying bovine expressions, the lying moon of the poles, the water's curved dance at the shore. With the science of tree trunk and street market they fill the clay with luminous nerves and lewdly skate on waters and sands tasting the bitter freshness of their millennial spit. It's through the crackling blue, blue without worm or a sleeping footprint, where the ostrich eggs remain eternal and the dancing rains wander untouched. It's through the blue without history, blue of a night without fear of day, blue where the **** of the wind goes splitting the sleepwalking camels of the empty clouds. It's there where the torsos dream under the gluttony of grass. There the corals soak the ink's despair, the sleepers erase their profiles under the skein of snails and the space of the dance remains over the final ashes.

Norm and Paradise of the Blacks
My sun has set, I dwell In darkness as a dead man out of sight; And none remains, not one, that I should tell To him mine evil plight This bitter night. I will make fast my door That hollow friends may trouble me no more. "Friend, open to Me."--Who is this that calls? Nay, I am deaf as are my walls: Cease crying, for I will not hear Thy cry of hope or fear. Others were dear, Others forsook me: what art thou indeed That I should heed Thy lamentable need? Hungry should feed, Or stranger lodge thee here? "Friend, My Feet bleed. Open thy door to Me and comfort Me." I will not open, trouble me no more. Go on thy way footsore, I will not rise and open unto thee. "Then is it nothing to thee? Open, see Who stands to plead with thee. Open, lest I should pass thee by, and thou One day entreat My Face And howl for grace, And I be deaf as thou art now. Open to Me." Then I cried out upon him: Cease, Leave me in peace: Fear not that I should crave Aught thou mayst have. Leave me in peace, yea trouble me no more, Lest I arise and chase thee from my door. What, shall I not be let Alone, that thou dost vex me yet? But all night long that voice spake urgently: "Open to Me." Still harping in mine ears: "Rise, let Me in." Pleading with tears: "Open to Me that I may come to thee." While the dew dropped, while the dark hours were cold: "My Feet bleed, see My Face, See My Hands bleed that bring thee grace, My Heart doth bleed for thee, Open to Me." So till the break of day: Then died away That voice, in silence as of sorrow; Then footsteps echoing like a sigh Passed me by, Lingering footsteps slow to pass. On the morrow I saw upon the grass Each footprint marked in blood, and on my door The mark of blood forevermore.

You breathed your last breath from the air in this room; that threadbare Persian carpet holds flakes from your skin; hairs from your head corkscrew the dented cushions scattered and idly waiting on the sofa; bed linen scented with your sweat the goose down doona that stole your last warmth; sleep spit and tears human moisture that permeates the acrylic layers of your pillow; an eyebrow hair wedged in the tweezers; a clipped nail that flew off somewhere out of sight; that new toothbrush used only once; your flannel and towel still drying out; the wet press footprint on the bathroom mat; the talcum powdered slippers abandoned under the brass bed. Each moment of everyday we shed ourselves shed dead cells and renew - a cycle of shedding until the last shedding of ourselves. © M.L. Emmett

The Forensic Science of Grief
"As the sun and moon aligned in the sky, they illuminated each other's shine. And the closer to each other they moved, the brighter they shined, and the higher the fire inside of us grew. As we raced through the days on that fling, each footprint we laid blazed away that piece of the earth's entire lifetime of beauty in the brief second it touched our feet, leaving nothing but ashes beneath us. Until we had no ground left to stand on and nowhere left to flee. And now that we've turned away from our fire to face the days that remained unburned by the flames, and learn to gaze at them through sane eyes one day at a time. We can look back at our book with clear sight and give it the ending that we never got the chance to write. And while I know it's too late to pick up the ripped-up pages, I will admit, I still think of our little prince. And sometimes I go outside and look up at the sky and think about what planet he might've gone back to after he died. Then I imagine the three of us living up there as a family in another lifetime. But for now, you have your own life, and I have mine. And we have to live them the way we would have if we could go back to the day we conceived our child and were able to see what our manic eyes were blind to at the time. When the sun and moon finally came as close as they could be and the fire inside us rose to its highest peak, it leaped past the fading ashes of our flesh to burn our love into eternity, through our baby. That eternal flame that could blaze brighter than our manic one ever could on its brightest mania days, but that would also sustain. "

Crack some fire everywhere on the way heaven. Light the shadow light a candle down the moon. The sun in fact does it every day. Scurries towards the last dark room down the moon. With the colour plate intact and full passes by shining on every corner and nook every untouched end in the day the rainbows peep on the way. Sneaks its way through the deep forests of orbs up and down the passages in the mountains of stars even after nightingales and robins go deep silent the sun tiptoes on the go lights a candle on the moon. Moments after the sunset facing its true north in the West only to find in heaven the way The Queen of Heaven puts her footprint less step it's the sun's true West shows up the new crescent.

On The Way Heaven
*/// When the time has returned Hearts can't go out from you Lost love seems to be a footprint Decayed stone is a sign of thy The last laugh The flute Putting forward the images of the day Today it has grown a big miss for the poet Spots at matches Someone calls the untimely I See You see Everything becoming change Slow Quick change You and me The Trees The Hills The River All Your restless mind Grew cold Even fastest cyclone Became cool Leaves fallen Grew again Spring came And moved away She came She sang Again she went away Never hold back Just left this footprint The last laugh The flute Putting forward the images of the day Today it has grown a big miss for the poet /// @ Musfiq us shaleheen*

Digital Echo
one: the first day my skin met yours god realized jesus was his one and only regret. two: if i could untangle all of the veins in my chest, if i could make them stop strangling every last molecule of love i have left in my body, you would see the last words you spoke to me fall out of their crippled noose like teardrops. three: will she ever love you enough to give you her lungs? four: when she screams **** me" before she comes i hope you hear me screaming **** you" the night you walked away. five: i write words and stare at the letters. the arrangement of letters is a puzzling thing to me, the way these same letters that can hold so much hate towards you once held the same amount of love. six: they say time heals all. well why didn't they ever ******* tell me what happens when i have a broken watch? seven: i made the stars fall out of the sky like they were the moons teardrops for you on the 31st night of lying in bed alone. you didn't see it because you were catching her tears in your bed instead. eight: you will still walk the same streets that i do from time to time and i hope you see a footprint that looks like mine and realize it belongs on your throat. nine: you are nothing but a tragic, rusty, chipped nail. you are the nails that pin me to this cross. your palms once fit into mine but now there's only holes from these stab wounds. ten: i thought about the time you said you'd never leave and it knocked the air you inhaled into my lungs the last time you kissed me right out. it hit me so hard two ribs broke. it was a tuesday.

one: the first day my skin met yours god realized jesus was his one and only regret. two: if i could untangle all of the veins in my chest, if i could make them stop strangling every last molecule of love i have left in my body, you would see the last words you spoke to me fall out of their crippled noose like teardrops. three: will she ever love you enough to give you her lungs? four: when she screams **** me" before she comes i hope you hear me screaming **** you" the night you walked away. five: i write words and stare at the letters. the arrangement of letters is a puzzling thing to me, the way these same letters that can hold so much hate towards you once held the same amount of love. six: they say time heals all. well why didn't they ever ******* tell me what happens when i have a broken watch? seven: i made the stars fall out of the sky like they were the moons teardrops for you on the 31st night of lying in bed alone. you didn't see it because you were catching her tears in your bed instead. eight: you will still walk the same streets that i do from time to time and i hope you see a footprint that looks like mine and realize it belongs on your throat. nine: you are nothing but a tragic, rusty, chipped nail. you are the nails that pin me to this cross. your palms once fit into mine but now there's only holes from these stab wounds. ten: i thought about the time you said you'd never leave and it knocked the air you inhaled into my lungs the last time you kissed me right out. it hit me so hard two ribs broke. it was a tuesday.

See that carbon footprint the one stomped on the earth the one that you've been treading in since the moment of your birth it's the dog **** on the muddy boot that stinks of gasoline it's the plastic bag and broken glass it's the poison nicotine it's the mattress in the hedgerow it's the paint can in the lake It's the acid in the raindrop and each promise that we break see that carbon footprint the one stamped on liquored breath that's the one you never noticed until too late the earth faced death

Carbon Footprints
*there are a thousand footprints on this path from those before who walked these ways in earlier days from shore to golden shore each one with a different tale a different story theirs to tell a journeys end round every bend could be heaven, could be hell in wide eyed innocence we’re born into this life of ours throughout the days in different ways we collect our many scars so every footprint is unique just as the life it bore from the many trials of different styles we’re shaped down to our core *

Footprints
Somewhere in your wardrobe, I'd be willing to bet There's a t-shirt probably bearing the silhouette of Che Guevara He was revolutionary, yeah, he wore a cool hat But behind the design I think you might find it's not quite as simple as that Che was a bit of a homophobe, Che was a bit of a homophobe, I think... apparently.. who knows? Che was a bit of a homophobe, Che was a bit of a homophobe This is my song in defence of the fence A little sing along, a anthem to ambivalence The more you know, the harder you will find it To make up your mind, it, doesn't really matter if you find You can't see which grass is greener Chances are it's neither, and either way it's easier To see the difference, when you're sitting on the fence Somewhere in your house, I'd be willing to bet There's a picture of that grinning hippy from Tibet - the Dalai Llama He's a lovely, funny fella, he gives soundbites galore But let's not forget that back in Tibet, those funky monks used to **** the poor, yeah And the Buddhist line about future lives is the perfect way to stop the powerless rising up And he tells the poor they will live again, but he's rich now so it's easy for him to say I'm taking the stand in defense of the fence I got a little band playing anthems to ambivalence We divide the world into terrorists and heroes Into normal folk and weirdos Into good people and pedo's Into things that give you cancer and the things that cure cancer And the things that don't cause cancer, but there's a chance they will cause cancer in the future We divide the world to stop us feeling frightened Into wrong and into right and Into black and into white and Into real men and fairies Into status quo and scary Yeah we want the world binary, binary But it's not that simple. And your dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a four wheel drive Yea your dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a four wheel drive And your dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a four wheel drive And so does your baby, maybe you oughta trade HIM in for a Prius- ROCK! I'm taking the stand in defence of the fence I got a little band playing tributes to ambivalence We divide the world into liberals and gun-freaks Into atheists and fundies Into tee-tot'lers and junkies Into chemical and natural Into fictional and factual Into science and supernatural But it's actually naturally not that white and black You'll be Dividing us into terrorists and heroes Into normal folk and weirdos Into good people and pedos Into things that give you cancer and the things that cure cancer And things that don't cause cancer, but there's a chance they will cause cancer in the future We divide the world to stop us feeling frightened Into wrong and into right and Into black and into white and Into real men and fairies Into parrots and canaries Yeah we want the world binary, binary - 011101! The more you know, the harder you will find it To make up your mind, it doesn't really matter if you find You can't see which grass is greener Chances are it's neither, and either way it's easier To see the difference Cause it's not that simple...

The **** blooms weren’t even that pretty and the nicest thing on the ground was dead. Gas trucks and red cars turned up the earth; we should get out of here. It was orange zest in the middle of doughy flour, a risk that not many chefs take. It was leaves from autumn, twisted and forgotten under shoes of hikers. It was the sunset sand art that dropped, soundly to the ground, left for brooms and vacuums. Outlined like the eyes of an Indian princess, the wings left its powder matter, a footprint, by the shoreline and asphalt. But the Earth didn’t care; and the **** blooms, the chefs, the hikers, the brooms, they didn’t care. What a treacherous thing, to take a risk when you think people care.

There were thousands of butterflies on the side of the road
~ he who is a little ahead of his time whose treasures of the words random romanticism is in the blood, marrow, his mood is as the autumn clouds he who has lost his path within path drowning with dreams, sunk you within dreams   again holds thousands of lost dreams fly the colorful kites in the blue sky he who hide within himself **** in his naked poetry In forms humorous,harmonic   as a portrait of the Vincent's starry night he is a pilgrim who has lost himself within spirituality   holds everything with the love   who is for everybody so everybody is for him But in fact there is nothing in all his he who is simple straight as the waterfall when in complex grew hard stone who broke rules for building rules, knows himself within the other life whose words never be end again he moves on and on who laughs in the moonlight again swept in pain without thinking any gain who looks the life as a grain of sand and see the sign of love in the footprint of a fossil he who is a poet - ~

he who is a poet
Who decides life is not worth it? You? God? When you reach this point, questioning living, breathing, you play god. You feel your mind make, take, break and create new processes never felt before; a process of passion, confusion, contradiction and confession. You strive just by the thought of not surviving. The downfall of a suicidal mind. Painfully and buried deep down the impulses slip out. Screams for hopes, answers, connections, positive aspirations. Constantly wondering is this it? Is this the end? That your life can never peek again, so the result of your collapse is an eternal slumber with the devil by your side. Whispering in your ear telling you about the ache and sorrow your sinking heart and conscience feel. An eternal hell. An eternal anguish, torment, suffering. Do you stay in the hell on earth or hell in the after life? You examine all the details over and over only thinking of your lonely pitiful life. Meaningless and outrageous. Screams moving around trying to get out but only bouncing back inside of you to find the little nothingness in which they are in seek of.   Literally, are taking you in and cutting you into the smallest treads as possible over and over. Never letting up to give the one underneath a second break. Pounding as hard as possible. Thudding and pulling, twisting and hurting. Neither end nor good. You can feel the over whelming sense of your corruption taking you headfirst and choking your every last breath off. Cutting it away like a river being eroded by things we cannot control. Your life you cannot control. People you cannot control. You see the only outlet in your mind but it burdens you with insanity behind it. Taking life; your own life. The reasons are bliss. Sweet tender resolutions freeze over your tempered thoughts, fragile thoughts of a suicidal. Unaware of the footprint left behind. Your stomach churns, stirs and confusion sets in once again. You feel ***** rising in your throat about to implode but it’s just an illusion created in your mind; hallucinations. Questions are still increasing their intensity and passion. With every moment of aloneness and isolation, the time ticks away from you until you feel as though you will fly into a rage. You take a deep breath; intense thoughts. Questioning right verses wrong; life verses death; now or never. Take a step back and pull the trigger; welcome to the end.
