"inroads" poems
Rising like smoke from the eternal spring Approaching with rose petals at her feet Angel of hope sheds light on everything Whenever life is bitter more than sweet Within our secret gardens of desire Fountains of sparkling passion locked away Therein lies hope, forever to inspire lest optimism ever goes astray Age sometimes dims the dancing flame of hope And drudgery weakens vitality Darkness and sorrow sometimes interlope Between us and our dearest fantasy Yet human spirit finds a way to cope As long as we find inroads back to hope.

Hope (sonnet)
yellow banana from the east     making discordian inroads    to vehemence this fall   won't let it turn black or we can't go back not an innuendo put it in a spiral make it viral bring a melon and hard drive sell the lemon for half price buy no frills airlines tickets   ride with the fruit    to unknown places    disseminate those faces     that munch on the yellow      that icky sticky mellow fellow       well the law of fives dictates its size        must have a five plus maybe a two or three           where did we go with thee can we please go free

Time for inroads and watch me grow into a confession to unhide. There's room for you too, grasping the infinity and movement the gamble of the moon speaks, luneria flowers to mark the winds cause and learn words giving belief wiser than us after all.

Dragonfly days
I know you're bad for me no, scratch that I know you're killing me Each time I breathe you in I exhale as violently as I can desperately compensating for my shame But your dark fingerprints linger I know that if I drink too much, I will find you between my dry lips, their cracks, formed by the action of spitting you out providing inroads for your thick, stifling presence Someone keeps writing about you in my notebook but whoever it is seems scared to pen your name

abjectness is a form of inroads toil the Woodlands Trust all hail no coppiced beeches, my first sighted R.S.P.B Avocet the perplexed scale comparable to competing blank stares, endorphins withstanding, clueless  and unconscionable instinctual pomposity suffers Nature's either way.

Prayers  inspires and boulders foil, praise that grows gives the greatest of inroads. Under the trailing arches only the assured prevail, in platitudes they vouch the greater gift bestowed.

Gift bestowed
the shadows are long on the wooden floor i can see the etchings of every weary foot that has sought rest in this place at worlds end there's a mist forming where the sun is burning off the rainwater and the light is getting golden that kind of glow that romances every face that makes even the darkest night seem comforting her dress clings to her shoulder with a fine sweat and her eyes cast down till i cup her chin and she looks up at me and thats all iv ever needed the shadows are making inroads to making me sleep so we step outside and i gently pass my hand over her face and her whisper clings to me like a softly spoken hurricane she leads me to the bed and pulls me down into her scented arms down into the sweet darkness of her love affair and i am filled with the sounds of my triumph and submission all at once a sound like a hard race car engine with the sigh of an old man like the sound of a mid summer moon high up in a warm forgiving sky far above all the toil and mud up here in her bed in her arms watching the shadows of the sun make inroads to darkness in a south florida motel room a rain storm is comin

The neurons that fires up so elegantly at the will of the conscious being , Invoking memories that were stored in the past Becomes the curse of the human birth, Inability to forget the past but making inroads and back lanes towards it. Creating highways, water ways and airways, to a memory that needs to be forgotten holds us back in life. But is revisited again and again like it is my best friend. A curse. No schools or universities teach about how to forget and let go, We are so engrossed on what others have done what the past has taught us, But the past is never the best map for the future. As I become conscious of this conscious state of myself. I become silent and let the thoughts past by, I do not touch nor feel it or engage with it in anyway, I forget as soon as it end. Full stop

The fused light The brightness is tinged in haze it is corresponds to us walking in twilight but is the gift of Discovery that hovers near all is needed is curiosity the needle that will stitch a thousand Wonders take from time and place all guessing fill the abandoned with power and grace The child of yesterday will emerge a wand is held to dispel inroads that have been made By neglect and cruel slights the soft blending is truly the mending that will remove deep lines Of worry and trouble you can’t walk in light and not be refreshed the residue of malignant Thoughts and actions by others or even your self can’t endure light’s purifying qualities as well As sight nullifies the danger of colliding with objects keen eyes see the riches that lie near and Far expectation guaranties prosperity and prepares people mentally in its acquisition the golden Light switches cumbersome burdens acquired in dark desperate hours that offered no relief it Takes the renewing day to give you the power to expel waste that draws from evil darkness our Deeds are contrary because we practiced them while hidden from the light but assurance rises Not just on the distant horizon but in the weakened troubled mind once it has failed true Forgiveness is the rekindling rallying call that light so grandly affords without it victories can’t Be found truth says I am the light and the way how many wayward broken men and women have Found and left their chains of slavery at His feet now they by divine impetus carry themselves Forward carefree unrestricted there is a glowing light from within that can never be darkened Though hell try with all of its might the fight is His and he never has or will be defeated oh sweet Destiny we found you after many days of cruel blindness now we are transfigured we take on The golden soft glowing a comfortable showing that is all bestowing love has its richest flow we Are no longer deceived that life is only things but it is others and Him that only matters what joy You will know when you walk in the light

Evening sun's, hot pulsating lips, fervently seek the ocean blue, touch for a sizzling, long,passionate kiss. The ecstasy resulted makes inroads as waves of anesthetic darkness, engulfing the glow of consciousness bringing the world as a whole in to a soporiferous languor,pleasurable.

That kiss made a difference.

The First Poem of the Day: Is our secret safe?
At the stage of being novices making inroads gaining small advantages kids on a raft learning the craft of sailing not sinking keeping afloat on this ocean where hope is a tide that turns frequently. Experiences teach me it's all within reach we only need to persevere. I'm sat here when I should be out there, where are you?

Like fresh ice-cream a newly baked cake the ripple of a stream the stillness of a lake Is innocence untouched Purity unsmutched 'Fore world makes inroads 'N virtuosity erodes Now life's been hurdled 'n the cake's gone stale the ice cream's curdled and from the lake, a wail

Crying out loud
The wretched treachery of the flesh is a sip of nectarine tea in the shade of a willow, a reoccuring dream, a for sale sign in front of a derelict funeral parlor. Inroads to wisdom are just slopes to slip off of, off into open air to elope with unknowing; the oldest whirlwind ever to be tricked into a jar. Really it’s all just counting stars like heartbeats and then taking them for granted. Im sorry for that ****

A dream, then god‘s interspersing jealous pleading indecipherable. The  combinatorial explosion makes us into god-like humans, when we grasp that simplicity is the greatest complexity, the surges, the mastering urges, the blending melding gradations, gods dream of our holy bodies encompassing, its said ingredients. fly child! the horizon line approaching, it’s either a goal or boundary, or both, where endings blending make us immortal for a few minutes, when the good Holy Ghost says, “me and we, ain’t no difference,” hot fever, leads to raging calm, euphoria transition to believing, where the god inroads, visibly interfere in invisible dreams, pixies pixelating fine granular, dreaming my skin,  kin to prayering, my knees touching clouds, lying on mounds of red soil, my eyes sewn shut and yet, I see all perfectly, for the dream of god, is what we are... ~ 7:15am Jan. 31, the year of 2020 visionary

Simplicity reduced to absurd: Simplicitas ad absurdum
#Saqi I yearn To pluck these #stars Out of their distant stupor To hurl them And watch them explode In the immeasurable Distance I yearn To thunder My intentions to rip down mountainous curtains I yearn To make Curvaceous inroads And watch the Majestic peaks Bend to kiss the valleys I yearn To stride across Universes and dimensions And bend destiny To merge My reality in your presence Saqi I warn you Tonight I am restless And I will not be accountable For all that I profess Through my drunk verses And For tomorrow's consequences ;-) --------- #Saqionahigh Seema Kj ©SeemaJayaraman 27 Apr 2020

Saqi series: Stars
——————————————————   midway up the alleyway among illegal upheaval urban street backgrounds swell unfolding into soundscape shapes for exchanging cracked mufflers and broken English as ingredients out in this blacktop district melting *** ramp-up, cascade, clatter, and crash spilling out almost detuned chords of reverberated sustain into and echo through my window in an oscillating fling around the ceiling  fan   and from there it’s on repeat until dusk begins to loom Static sizzle begins a final crescendo And quickly takes its medicinal weakening inevitable low murmuring enduring in an almost complimentary gradation a fading to dark (so you know where we’re at) Frogs and crickets use their voices In nocturnal harmony singing the daylight to rest while synchronizing intone all those unforgiven and withdrawn souls can take a new step forward walking in stride with carefree invisibility beneath a scattershot of luminaries that constellate a shadowy veil draped over town My town and Your town and across in a floating waft Dispatched via the calm blue astral spheric hue from a lunar dome Or cosmic citadel represent Represent REPRESENTING for all  our collective Grandmother Astral-sphere ————-————-————-————-
