Metempsychosis
Tempus Fugit: Nought is eternal, Nox is ephemeral, And The Charred Canvas Of The Night Sky (Noctis Lucis Caelum, Scala Ad Caelum) Bedarkened & besmirched, bespeaks A Love-Worn Wayward, Wayworn. In the Citadel Of mine Temporal Heart Time Streams infinitely As an Exhalation of The Ethereal One. The Chronology of The Arbiter of Fates Shalt Destine, Herald Eternitas Upon The Phantasmagoric Horizon Of Mine Mind's Sky Wondering Upon Days of Yore. (The Hither, The Thither, And The Morrow.) These Luminescent Children are Are born To wax Luminaries Then, Wax Nebulous For all eternity. O, Metempsychosis; Born of Edicts Unseen, Of that Which was, Is, & Will Be. (For All things Are Circular & Cycling, Existentially.) We were conceived Infinitely To Infinity And beyond. Let He, Let She Whose Ears & Eyes Of The Unuttered Anima Be unstopped, unfurled To resonations: Deep within. The Emerald Lifestream Anew Dost begin. The Sovereign of Songbirds sings Esprit d' amour To those who wait. (Se' Lah.)

Nigh' In Wishing & Ne'er In Love (Originally Written on Sunday, January 6th, 2019)
Hatch me, from worldly confinement, shaking me as I unconsciously sleep walk into a new realm of pain, torn apart like little bags of ****** releasing me from the puppet master's strings, leaving my mutilated back slightly stitched after exposure to this metempsychosis

My White Horse is Now Black
Metempsychosis Some stories last many centuries, others only a moment. All alter over that lifetime like beach-glass, grow distant and more beautiful with salt. Yet even today, to look at a tree and ask the story Who are you? is to be transformed. There is a stage in us where each being, each thing, is a mirror. Then the bees of self pour from the hive-door, ravenous to enter the sweetness of flowering nettles and thistle. Next comes the ringing a stone or violin or empty bucket gives off - the immeasurable's continuous singing, before it goes back into story and feeling. In Borneo, there are palm trees that walk on their high roots. Slowly, with effort, they lift one leg then another. I would like to join that stilted transmigration, to feel my own skin vertical as theirs: an ant-road, a highway for beetles. I would like not minding, whatever travels my heart. To follow it all the way into leaf-form, bark-furl, root-touch, and then keep walking, unimaginably further.

Jane Hirshfield
Under the indolent sun Who burned my skin without move My dermis melts My flesh bursts My bones break such of the Crystal Perverse vision and melancholy My body gets tattered And the keen mind that I was Of the wise person's dream I loses the thread Who lets leave powerless All of my own Feelings intermingled with ashes I come there to believe that I died Then why am I so happy Dust of heart , powder of soul Flies away and mix Would I finally find fulfillment, You  , who thought make me blind You who thought of getting out the life You give me eternal death Soft karma and Metempsychosis Will wake me up from the dead Would rebuild my body Would tame my soul To return to you again Alchemical breath and piercing look You probed the depths of my bowels You the most beautiful fiancée O thou death  O my end Do not give up your poor lover Fusion of life in a yoke of feelings Will make of us only one love Continue up to the ****** Paroxystic of our two being Both diving at the bottom of the Styx

DUST OF HEART , POWDER OF SOUL
Draining pools of blackened filth Tiny pockets amass An ocean of sludge to horizons end Stone heart is cast away Descends to the bottom New blood bursts forth Seeps into empty spaces Mortar for the soul In this wounded way Ascend to begin again

Metempsychosis: New Blood Bursts Forth
There’s a comforting concept of metempsychosis The spirit moves on while the flesh decomposes But the birth rate’s exceeded So new souls are needed And this is the number one problem it poses

Transmigration of Souls
I am young here, but everywhere I am actually unwavering and endless. I am blessed with each breath but spanning birth to death, I've many times left my earthly vessel breathless. I am told I'm well spoken, well read, while really I'm untold- With many scars healed, much time traversed, and wisdom learned manifold. Here today I'm sun kissed but really I'm sundry... Meaning I am several, all at once I am and have been many kinds. I am samsara, metempsychosis, this is my ode to the transmigration of the soul. A new version of something from the past, I am with these new eyes forever old.

Samsara
The fresh puff of fragrance of my flowers, as carried away by the eastern winds, unnoticed, silently, in an instance. Impulsively, I tried a chance, with my sublime mind, to scatter heavenly essence.

Metempsychosis
One not an ounce of fear she crawled out of her pupa evolved so clamorously flaunting such aura delicate beautiful wings so small and thin, of great fragility but an appetite for the world larger than a king's hunger, greed for power, wealth, gold.. "Stay! - just a second longer" But she had to know, had to see       ...had to explore                  ...had to have it all strayed away too far from thee little wings remoulding colours in memories of her valour; her ambitions; forever etched in one's mind a harrowing flight let them bewail such occurence let them seek consoling thoughts who believes in metempsychosis she found home in the lights embrace

Butterfly
Life and Death form the grand spiral of time To take heart, diamond or garlic, and cully sleep Providing the baptism for the dead who will Not understand the sword and sorcery of the Eternal Tables avowed solipsism upon the astral Realm of unmanifested being. A deity twin-saviour, an ineffable Tuat Child of the child- The axiom of the Four Last Things; A fetch whom obsecrated Anubis and Abraxas to combat the Hell's on the one hand and to sustain The Heaven's on the other, An aletheia spirit return carrying a Hand of Glory which licked the expanse Carnal dust to link metempsychosis Assignation and arise a spiritual gewiyya That a saint in heaven would grieve to see.
