HANDLE WITH CARE

Ardor is subtle when enticed eagerly

with rapture and clarity, full heartedly,

alongside passion comes vulnerability

should it crumble, there will be no pity.

Romance in bloom, such is pure delight

must cherish beloved, hold on to it tight,

faith is liable, can be challenged by fate

fragile and delicate, should treat it right.

HINT

If you really care, evade the despair
rise from the depth, breathe fresh air
the burden you bare is not even there
spare the angst, you are not being fair
to yourself you owe an enchanting affair.

.

DOWN TO EARTH

Our life is like a kind of journey where 

the landscape fosters a different view 

from that which was presented at first 

changes again and again till the end

we often find something else to wish

something better, some permanence

that we often find on a different path 

than the one which starts our pursuit

Instead of finding what was expected 

pleasure, happiness, joy, satisfaction

we acquired experience and insight

which is a real and permanent thing

far better than illusions ever fleeting.

DESCRY

Money coated vanity, a set form of insanity
which serves to disseminate this life's irony
such mundane talk as consumerist baloney
reveals what is genuine and what is phony. 
When the air is pure, the water crystal clear
mother nature near, birds love singing here
there should be no doubt as to what is dear
clear recognition does not hinder the seer.

.

LUCID SLEEPWALKER

When taking a dive from the lucid into the deep 
keep on going until you surface from your sleep
as you slip into a conscious state of awakening 
you can day dream for the lack of a better thing.

METAPHORIC VESTIGES

Alarming wake up call 
promptly intercepted
sophisticated methods 
applied by spying oglers
in removing a message
like a thread from butter.
Blinders briskly fluttered
blinkers keenly adjusted
orders promptly released
over draconian quarters
to locate loose roosters
disobeying strict orders.
Fractured are relations
among differing nations
rigid oligarchic vestiges
exploit devious schemes
harbor morbid intentions
contrary to what it seems.
Ruthlessly inflicted pain
might be applied again
as sabers rattle in vain
all tyrants stand to gain
in conflicts gone insane
merely shambles remain.

.

FLIP-FLOP

Lucid dreaming alongside daydreaming 

one is facing down, the other facing up

like floating on the surface of the water

turning around from upside to downside.

Flip flop like a coin spinning in the air

one side gets sunlight the other a shade

like a dreamer witnessing an awakening

the coalescing of the inner and the outer.

.

AUGHT NAUGHT

At the negation of inherent existence 
the mind is emptied in dire container
a head so clear when turned around
washed out of any evidence of doubt.
Nothingness is where all this sprouts
embrace emptiness, cherish solitude
stillness of mind can disperse clouds
open the heart wide, bear no attitude.

.

SHIFT

Sooner or later a need for change emerges
must reconsider values, make adjustments
stakes can be lowered, the course altered
a new person reborn with mind wide open
might as well be the change one is hoping
that should put an end to the futile coping.

CHOICE

Flip your coin high into the sky
when it is still spinning in the air
you'll realize which side you care
the other might as well go to hell.

YOU BET

On a table of roulette a fast feast has been laid
the famished are being offered an enticing bait
by means of the wheel spin a spurious promise
losers with bulging eyes are a subject to demise
they have been wiped out as the oracle can tell
predicting just about all that is about to prevail
when bettors push their luck they end up in jail
compulsive gamblers left with their soul to sell.

.

.

LOST FRIEND

Long story short, thus a lucid day dream
I have been through ambiguous streets
Sleepwalking fingers, with pen in hand
Long and narrow, can not see the end
I have not been a beholder of a trend
I keep searching for a long lost friend
who passed away touching my hand
there is a message I wanted to send
with my hand so he can understand.

.

MORE THAN HUMAN

From a source deep in space

subtle signals reaching Earth,

heavens above giving a sign

crop circles are simply divine. 

Much evidence of alien action

not just far fetched deduction,

let us be real, about this deal

so many things it could reveal.

Should we be ready to receive

a honored guest from heaven

with open arms & love to give

without the demeanor of fear.

FORSAKEN

There is no obligation for unconditional love

just heartfelt affection, dedication and loyalty

prepared to go the distance without any doubt

belonging to a lover is what devotion is about 

revealing the thrill of adoration, not just a clout.

The more the feeling, the happier is the being

but at the end the harder might be the leaving

such is the balance of life, fragile at the source

it would crumble if it were kept in place by force

letting go of beloved is the extent of this course.

.

INGRAINED

Infused from a future that stretches into eternity
into the here and now, an illusion with a destiny
a beginning and end, meanwhile given a choice
to be and act as a name, number, proven identity
or not to be anything like you’re supposed to be.

.

CLIFF HANGER

Standing at the awry edge of a fiscal cliff hanger

to some a bad joke, for others a cause for anger

solemn faced senators pushing for favorite dish

what will come out of this is coerced to be fetish.

Close your eyes for an instant, make your wish

the bells are ringing, I’d better get ready for this

a monetary economic monster is about to crush

this is the presumption, based on financial trash.

Federally reserved hollow zeroes placed in line

the delicate balance of the dubious with the fine

as the story goes on, the ceiling of debt is raised

for this accomplishment the puppeteer is praised.

People who have much, have to bestow as such

with this deduction, not everyone can be in touch

likely to put decent, honorable folk in lousy mood

for the yet unborn children, this would be no good.

.

VIRTUAL WWW

For a moment deem this possible dream

the presence of your self in cyberspace

animated with total movement capability

parallel journey of induced virtual reality.

Full interaction in the World Wide Web 

you can exist any way you wish in here

roaming at your will all over cyberspace

with the voice, personality, of a real self.

Dreams could be realized a distinct way

I have been working on it night and day

that stupendous day is not too far away

could even be tomorrow if I had my say.

.

SUBORIGINAL TREMOR

Integration of raw primitive reflexes
In discerning subtle modern scruple
Stretching Primitive-Modern polarity
Into coalescing of the opposite ends
When horizons curve into each other
Psychic powered lightning will strike.

.

.

AT THE EDGE

Change is inevitable
one way or another
sooner or later
it will take place.
No need to resist
just grow into it,
whether you let go
flow with the grain
or resist the change
persist on the same
would stall the game.
Your aptitude to skim
can alter at the seam
the nature of a dream.
The mastery of poise
can put you in charge
should you so please
make yourself at ease
in hard times like this
just go with the flow
how the wind may blow
can determine the show.

.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT

Some worshippers have their faith well polished

as they tend to prayers to wash away their sins

begging for forgiveness, beseeching for things

not understanding the nuance of what it means.

Most believers are waning, wanting and begging

only few are humbly thankful, simply affirming

there is the odd vindicator ranting and grunting

demanding satisfaction, grudgingly complaining.

Real faith is just a matter of believing in good

prayers are consummated seeking for the truth

my quest is sharp focused, I will not be fooled

will plead abstraction unless otherwise assured.

.

DUE RESPECT

It is delusive to command total respect

unreasonable to expect such an aspect

except when we accept the unacceptable,

this paradox also deserves some respect.

Could you respect humility, vanity, cruelty

can you respect insanity, not without pity.

Absolution of respect starts with yourself

clear acceptance of the darkest regions.

What can be more deserving of respect

than being true to yourself in all aspects

being able to share yourself accordingly

with everybody, is this too much to expect.

The life of a suspect has a shady prospect

knowing one's self is imperative for sanity

chicanery don’t command my due respect

honourability is the resolution of humanity.

Discover what the surface can not show

understanding is a prerequisite to know

as one could grow flowing with the grain

rhyme and reason, takes care of the pain.

QUANTUM

A point of view could be a serious liability 
when a person is approaching the future.
An objective view should have to consider 
all possibilities concurrently in the hither.
When a first hand experience is occurring
whatever imagination may render possible
might be feasible in eternal time and space.
