Elysian beaut embraces this thorn,
His turbulence twirls tamed to tranquil's thrills;
Cocoon most calm quells troubled toss and turn,
Whence once a love tried and proven still spills.

Her presence soothes, besotted with splendor;
His soul surrendered to inhale pure bliss...
Aura most awed with allure to adore;
Herein, passion kisses peace with much ease.

In return he worships, unto her worst...
Watches her lay on whispers' warmth worthwhile;
Her face the finest fantasy he lusts,
Her place none will replace; come miles nor smiles.

For love most ethereal like ours still live,
Ourselves wholeheartedly we poured to give...

Dedicated to Euphemia Juddbryll

Karma of Kama

Hallow, most serene,
Wooed with words wonderfully woven
Into love scrolls and scrips;
That delighted the pages of her heart...

Suddenly, his wind strayed,
Became the author of all her pains;
Scrambling every word...
Haling, hurling, hurting; till they taunt.

Love died that fateful day,
Buried beneath bosoms of frustration;
Amongst tormenting thorns,
To sprout anew, bud and blossom but....

She lingers, assured someday,
She'll become the bouquet on his gravestone;
Whence fate will cheer and jeer.

Last Strand

O' my strand of love; the very last in all existence. With all your breath and blood, you affectionately knotted my body, soul and spirit unto your *****; recreated my nightmares into the dreams that breathed my fantasies into the reality, whose memories I can't let go into extinct. Though, battered and bruised, wretched and wounded; you were that unbroken tenderness, that breathed with her last breath and bled unto her last blood that I may not only live, but also, thrive in the most wonderful love ever... From this day, unto my last and beyond, for you I'll live and die for. With all the love I possess, I'm yours and all you ever wished for in this life and the next...

Free Fall

Birthed,
Allure of altitude...

From cradle,
Groomed to mount
With wings;

Grown to master
The art of soaring,

Conquering
Supreme summit beyond skies...

A day came,
My wings fortune plucked,
I plunged, plummeting...

Fate grasping faith's hem,
Gifting me the trust;

Myself to release,
Free falling into mystery
Feared, revered...

Twilight Thrills

As crepuscular light ebbs across
Celestial stretch amidst silky streams,
Exhaling enchanted orange hue,
Left along pathway of eventide...

And sun descends into elysian blanket,
As crystal rays entwined in embrace,
Heralding glorious glimpse of moonbeams,
Whose ascent adorns heaven's height...

And sunset sank into a sweetly sleep,
Twilight thrills...

Misty Memories

And then...
A diffident embrace,
Hankered after bedeviled yearning.
Instead, butterfly kisses,
She planted 'pon breathless lips;
Scarved my neck
And schlepped,
Into mystery miles of misty memories...

But now...
That yesterday lingers forever,
Leaving evocative footprints
Left behind by flirtatious fragrance,
That oft beguile my pathway,
Into memories of her;
Whence fantasy atones reality...

A Sip from Sea of Sin

Temptation crept 'neath slinky skin,
Stirring sultry sleep to sip from sea of sin.
Her body wanted, but soul undaunted
To enchant the devil with his own evil taunts;
Whence once ere, he touts and haunts.

'Pon hell's lofty altar she, he enthroned,
And then swore to forever adore her reign alone.
Her body he gowned and head, crowned...
Her worthy recompense for daring all to care;
Spirit, body and soul, baring all to fare.

As an apprentice, his shadow she stalked.
Ere glory, 'pon bleeding blade of fury she walked;
Beheld a feast whence others saw a beast,
And allured this feeble to fall beyond the clouds;
A desirous divergent from those crowds.

And now, most intoxicated by her fine wine,
From this fount and bosoms he will dine and recline.
To her, he gave his kingdom to kiss freedom;
Forever enthroned inside his dark star as his queen;
That sun, the shooting star he has ever seen.

Life's Invisible Hands

Swallowed up in the shadow of shallow stream,
Trails of twilight touted and taunted ignorance
To gulp elusive sanity, as he sinks and drowns
Beneath the crypt of folly; whence ere entwined
That twain kinfolks of obsession and deviltry.

In time, their crude creases passion eased away,
Breathing into existence flames of frenzy fervors;
As refining fire fueled by fervency and urgency,
Consuming needs beyond the bounds of mere wants;
Whence envy desires to covet all unto parsimony.

And then came that era when wisdom crept in,
Streaming crystal rays at the dawn of realization,
To redeem those unruly nights of ignorance and passion
With that sunrise of contentment once craves for;
As sanity walked hand in hand with piety as purity...

And now, in the trying pathway of this earthly sojourn;
I've drank from that overflowing cups of ignorance,
'Been set aflame in the burning lake of irresistible passion,
And soothed by this tranquil zephyr of divine purity...
Yet in all these, life'e invisible hands is still weaving me...

Inspired by the quote:
"Purity engenders Wisdom, Passion avarice, and Ignorance folly, infatuation and darkness."

FORBIDDEN BITE

I guess I have stayed in Europe for years and enduring dishes strange to my tongue
But I believe this isn't it because I can feel the sun doing what it does best to our skins
The cravings the heart and mind has constructed for this much longed for meal can't be tamed
But I know this dish is forbidden by the systems and the divines that guide us

With my selfish and wicked soul, I stole a look
And the look it offered was pleasing to my misled mind
With unguided pleasure I bit into the treasured unripe fruit
Still green but sweet on the first bite
The juice on my tongue struggled to resist another bite
A bite, a bite another bite and I was eating
The fruit was eaten all but the fruit was not finished

Before I finished eating, I was satisfied
The joy of the consummation was short-lived
I needed to eat more to keep the state
But that fruit was forbidden till I owned the three
The sweet bite and stolen meal left me ashamed of the light that's in me

Anger and Hatred

Anger the ******* child of Hatred despised and rejected stands before his father and ask
"What do me and my mother mean to you?"
With glowing red eyes Hatred answers
"I care nothing for you or your mother Lust.  Lust your mother is nothing more than a **** who I had *** with."
Looking Hatred in his fiery red eyes Anger says
"For someone who lurk in the shadows you hurl a lot of insults."
Stepping closer to Anger, Hatred responds with another insult
"Your mother is a **** plain and simple.  How can you not know and who are you to question me?"
With a bold voice Anger says
"My mother is not a **** and I am your son."
With an evil smile Hatred says
"Her name tells you what she is.  Don't blame me for the life you was dealt.  If you're looking for Love you'll find her with the rest of the virtues in Tranquility.  Why can't you be more like your sister Cruelty?  Truly you are a waste of *****."
Turning his back to Hatred, Anger responds by saying
"These are my last words to you.  You're a pillar of salt.  No one wants to be around you."
As Anger walked into the night he heard Hatred say
"Like father like son."

'Pon Shooting Stars

As grave beckons upon this mortal breath,
And that day came, when existence shall cease;
Gladly shall I embrace the beck of death,
To sail through life’ shore to that realm of bliss.

‘Yond this bound, whence breath will matter no more
Shall this life be measure by length fulfilled,
Or by rare wealth of allure and splendor;
Along this sojourn treasured and unveiled?

But those moments spent with Euphemia;
That took my breath away ‘pon shooting stars,
And turned routine into euphoria;
Sealed with smile and laughter, as balm to scars.

My fulfilment will not be found in years,
Neither in abundance nor in length of days;
But in those rare moments shared without fears,
Whose golden footprints no time can erase.

"In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away..."

Ashes and Anguish

Arise from amongst ashes most anguished,
Stir up repose whispers from wrathful wile;
Rekindle this sweet twinkle once banished,
Charm and churn her essence again to swirl.

Free her fossilized form from filth and fears,
Waft wings wide and wild with wind as zephyrs;
Exhale mortality from thorns and tares,
This wretch, set aflame with gale and fire.

Cleanse this cursed from stenches of sacrilege,
That entombed her in eclipse most eerie;
Then, send her salvage soul on a pilgrimage,
Farthest from hell's grim crypt of solitary.

Liberate this life to live in crystal light,
Let her latched legion loose into delight.

"It was not my body, not a woman’s body, it was the body of us all.
It walked out of the light." - Anne Carson

Faith Found Fate

Creed will breed from seed, a good deed to heed;
But greed like ****, feeds as blended needs bleed,
Till hope elopes in lopes for naught to cope
And gropes on worn tightrope whence doubts still mope.

Would faith debate with fate 'fore night's too late,
Or should this date wait and postpone her bait?
God with His words became creations' Lord;
While Moses with rod, as David with sword...

Promises unforeseen, things I've not seen!
Unbelief, unseen; the one sin to win;
Yet these I believe and live to receive,
From Spirit that gives; whom I mustn't grieve.

Faith I hinged on substance of things hoped for;
Evidence of unseen or blur, naught more.

''FINDING FAITH''
Inspired by this Bible verse: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
