PART ONE
I
A
In this room of night
Cobble stone floor survives solemn solitude
Comprising the recipient's desire.
Request repeated through many times:
A starvation of touch languishes
Amidst the igniting glow of deep tonality
Found by the new moon's rise.
Here one stands, as known within another's heart
Taken with a rare shower of drunken crumbs
Then cast in lonely repose
To proximity of the ancient street
Where other pain raises aesthetic composition
In tribute to the blessed reign of unencumbered stars.
B
My voice, the air:
Watch the fluid wave
Dissolve onto orange silence,
Physical dissipation of verbal being,
Ever rare, until
My sound: the ceramic sigh
Romancing a soluble
Time!
C
Inside,
The warmth is ethereal, heartbeat and movement
Electricity of thought and
Old rain moistens the potted plant, A
Song in echoes of several liquid
Drops!
While thin scent slips - petal to sky.
This allows the heat of blood
A hand to carve form as
Configuration on the surface of stone,
Smooth polish following the attributes
Of the opened human eye
Accomplish a shape:
The light of supple dream cast within
Unalterable zone of rest,
A simple place of the circle on creation.
II
Fate unfolds the tortuous blend.
Sublime woman forward of the void
Where fear dissolves into insidious escape --
Disruption for the still continuity
Giving the scar a presence that is far greater
Than the wound time sends away.
Move faster, yet even faster!
The disfigured thought stands as
Lead in a bowl -
Maddening inertia and she yields a surrender
Of its weight to the mirage of foreign flight.
Thus she departs from the hard
Shimmer of Liberty's goal.
III
A smile on the expansive appearance
Peers beneath the hidden bloom.
Now! Rose color finds her brown eyes at
An illumination and resounding thrusts
Toward feminine insistence.
Demand fears not the interior of a sigh --
She cares enough and the
Fragrance of her wish
Forever flows after streams of
Grace and Fire.
The artist of a struggle in the street
Boils! -- and her heart acquires
The pulse and radiance of a theater's song.
IV
Quicksand sounds fast
Into cognizance of the vital,
Ordaining energy
With the vestment of my passion;
Lonely memory
Over an inward head
Quenches steamy sigh: as
Being still by
That solemn peace drifting from the
Quality snow fall:
Thick, dense
Closely spaced and hearty sandstone.
Bring over some wine in
Red streams of loosening splendor
To infiltrate that moment; a mood
Touching your internal breath with white expression
Leaving me within soft confinement:
Together: a loving momentum and
Fields of Autumn.
V
The last man undertakes forays,
Jetting pragmatic resolution of
The bowl of labor that is the
Illustration of pigment.
Empty states confusing
Pains portrayed through perception
In the theft's taking.
To disperse, yet to emit
Sentiment onto the yellow gray
Survives into vats beyond geometric extent.
Other dreams not spoken
Sustain entity as meat evolves into
The aria's bliss.
VI
A
I abdicate my crown of
Infinite yearning, only to allow
The weakly governed a refusal of my authority.
Denied resignation to a lesser position,
Serious shoulders topple into lighthearted laughter,
Send me out! - to the forest of vocal
Minds exonerating the guilt attained by the subjects
Of free demeanor,
Suit me into armed conflict deployed by
Beastly hearts of the narrow channel,
My white feather smeared with inconsequential
Grays, pulled from the battle and
Raised highly over the naked blue sky:
Cleaned with beauteous consolation of
A moment spent with the family gathering:
Father's constant giving,
Mother's daily burden -
Interesting virtues of natural being, smoothly,
The beloved son sings onward to
Aged manhood.
I assume the thorns of corporal pain,
Every portion of my back sends electric sense
Tingling to all of the innermost nerves
And they appraise the interface of bone to bone,
Sleepiness and the appearing excitement.
B
Juxtaposed near the weight of
Burial into stiff skin and muscle:
Disrobed and cold beds
Bring closeness to the Way things occur:
Biological aesthetics implementing purified power,
That wish is silenced,
Pulse fails and
Get rid of this body.
Anointing oils,
Cover it up with heavy wood and bronze,
Leave the created soul to stare out,
Scan fully spiritual kinds
Disposed in an ethereal fire,
Rings and a throne,
Wisdom wrought in
Golden doors;
The body sinks, decay on this sphere
Extinguishing earthly relation of voluntary choice.
It is existence simply direct and
Being told of your conduct's value -
Impulse remains
Covered over; those evening deeds, physical heat
Some morning, the thinness of crust;
We build purgatorial walls in our time before
Roses of mourning.
One sunny day there is a
Cool door of the tavern left
After the lives of Ostia Antica,
They pass the marble serving table while
Civilized manner brings out fine cuisine.
VII
Sitting in loud places,
Drinking liquor and folding
Reckless guitars with remorseful
Yielding.
Seedy volume peddled by aged entrepreneur
Entertaining the musician's followers
With rude folly,
It does appear whimsical
For my puritan dreams
To attempt motion for centuries of life
About a minuscule allotment .
Closely confined hearts despoiling
Human breadth,
I am here fastened in fixed material
To seek enlightened removal by mystical rays:
You are the rapture of flesh
Giving my hand high extension,
Bestowing transformation over
Scholarly fits, hypnotic cursing;
Especially soft expanse so
I may come to
Elusive fountains of fairy tale conquest
To combine with the residue of a very old city,
Days ago
Making Venezia aspire after
Formalistic gesture peculiarly fair,
Lasting in my imagined residence
Upon the texture of your shoulders and upper arms.
I am a city in concept,
Carrying the burdens of polite policy
Through the urban epoch of
My apportion,
Incarnate age
The child of historic building;
Library, school, cathedral spire
Raised to adorn neighborly subsistence.
And in you,
The gift of beautiful line
Performing onto emotional spheres
Revolves amidst noise and my hidden
Emphasis of daily scripture,
Come out tonight,
Converse in crossing glance
As the wooded plane spreads
Poetic scenes via wind swept
Seedlings,
Compound particles settling on the hillside,
Drawing nutrients for a final splendor.
In me you are growth
From the fiery tale of tapestry color
To vitalized movement
Around cosmopolitan streets and
Long, spaced boulevards.
VIII
CHRISTMAS
Realizations rise with morning,
Embodied systemic essences secured
In the telling attributes of a good tender
As he carries bushels of fruit
Through abrupt turns touching his surface with scars,
Depletions dilating motivated blessings
Down to ignored sensation weakly prying
At the force plummeting against unseemly entanglement.
Intellect facilitates each step onto
Thoughtful purpose, but the awkward drain
Commands a return to examination of the apex
To his focus.
Pristine eyes lead -
How they feel
Cryptic pieces
In a medium of origins;
Separations and physical blunders
Burning in the restless rain
Moist sheets, chill of dew.
Many falls and floor density
Welcomes acceptance resting
For the fragile warmth
Of unblemished strength.
Yet he must toil on
Bushels of fruit,
Christ child became
The shadowy orchard,
They all consume.
IX
We wander the world in a city
With warmth of contact in how we love.
My chest contains a tiger's thrust,
Decisive, firm advance to life's array --
Melody, rose, accent of purity and
Dreams facing a woman of beautiful impulse
Leaping onto the avenue bustling throughout what is
Quiet between us.
I watch with plums and fantasy, seeking interiors
While holding the night's outer shine and
Conforming elemental realities within the onrushing burst of
Solid tenor to deeply-felt conduct and the fineness of smiles.
Your youth is bewildered, animated in
The high place of ladylike poise
And now unfolds before a constancy in concern.
Our meeting for one another
Appreciates the sensitive growth and
I remember the family comfort
When good conscience suspends natural exchange
Over my touch.
X
His maturity began at the lesson of a value
Displayed by the fine object of humility.
Disposition through joy and correct obedience,
A completeness in
Full-bodied welcomes, and stamina underlying
Expenditures of energy productive of even,
Straight outflow.
In this awareness:
Sight distinct to Mediterranean lines,
Scent of cafe clamoring about noise filled
Cups of classic design,
Branches, birds and flowers set onto ceramic formations
Raised in etiquette
"Good day, I must take leave
To pursue the sun's influence,
Stroll an open field in yellow lanes, solitary moods
To perceive matters of importance for my
Healthy co-mingling with the tide coming over
A sea shore."
And disappeared among the appearances,
Softly lined statements concerning societal complexity,
An image in the innocence of faith.
Late one evening there is a festival
Glimmering off the light of his friend.
Though the future is a function of change
They are close to one another and celebrate
Spontaneous ease, their individualities collect
Particles of two voices that listen
It is an afternoon of the lake
Where they act naturally through the audience of
Reflection.
At times his irregular breathing marks
The commutation given by shallow acknowledgment,
She encloses depths longing for the
Adoration of respect. He says
"A perfect creation contains disobedience, fault
Evil loitering to the misuse of principle
Until all days, wisdom may be chosen by
The love given in sacrifice."
No longer idling in the secrecy of his loneliness
He is outside,
Subject to the frivolous beatings of weather and
Other purposes are set a small distance
To his skin.
Impact compounds thought,
He may open further
Exposing nerve endings to
Extemporary episodes where
Literal pronouncements surrender their
Philosophical underpinnings directly to his core,
And he enters her peaceful way
As on a dancing carriage
Fragrant and unhurried,
Even finding what she knows.
The single purpose of happiness
Implores the creation to be
Themselves --
The fusion of gas,
The song of consummation
To watch the sunrise in their hands.
XI
Each October is seated throughout botanic scenes:
Colors purge autumnal solitude,
Souls tremble sensitive contact to rounded leaves as
They pass along crystal water and secluded pine,
The air swirls to crisp sensation,
Fluid droplets pound sonic signals
At the late interval and
We have not approached the dear perception.
There are schisms seeping into the
Harmony of breath
Placing isolated acts by a shadow's night.
Abyss of the singular vision seeks a
Communion with contiguous mercy and
During earthly endeavor, hopes for
Ascension to hilltop terraces
Throwing sight onto grand vistas of
Wise conversation.
This day was an assault,
And the evening comes in truce for reflective
Consideration on the wounded and the bold.
Unhurried moments of wine and white walls nestled in
Darkness, you imagine the discovery of human depth and
Concentration passes from the breakfast table.
Yet the common experience of death is unknown by
Everyone in being, a circumstance protecting the integrity of
The freedom to will and leaving no
Force to enjoin the form of feeling
Under mannerism's nature.
November continues someone's vigil over the levels
Reached by development,
They co-exist into December, and the following day.
XII
Turmoil in a village square by a growing bush,
The blossom opens in slow steady time, a
Contrast to the swiftness of a blow
Directed to your neighbor's face.
The morning before was a solemn ceremony to
Worship the goodness of harvest and rest
For responsible days of toil displacing earth,
Dropping seeds and tending nature's balances.
Several degrees above absolute zero stir
Dynamics; loosening the static soil to yield
Acres of grain. Yet the accomplishment
Leaves unrest and inequity: there is a recess
From the occupation of commitment and the
Freedom of leisure carries a quiet setting
Ignored by the men who want material.
Vanity, pride wait for the final gestures
At the ceremonial altar, then don the robes of
Predator to strike after the desire left
Un-nourished by the golden growth of wheat.
One's body fills up the inner being with
Feelings - a funnel converging the initial and natural
Space to a particular physical point generating
A sense of uniqueness calling for stature
Throughout the community and
The altercation shatters harmony by
Conflicting possession.
The Word places peace for the heart to
Enter the garden's green and
Death removes the immediate pain from the village square.
XIII
A FRAGMENT OF ETERNITY
A narrow alley way, a touch of air,
And the distinct presence of antiquity
Comprise a region beyond distant times,
The memory of visitation, or a current
Neighborhood preparing for dawn as the
Former traveler dreams into the
New World's night.
Many points change the indices of location
When the observer begins the events of
Solitary surveillance:
The common nucleus opening eyes to
The punishment of divisible matter,
The crowd of opinions sounding loud facts, and
Aggression taking fear to the temporary victory of
Secured position.
A sharpening of focus discerns the
Background hum and its constancy
Infuses observation with the energy
Attending discipline’s last judgment.
XIV
With the attributes of hunger, the populace
Brings forth divine existence.
After travels through the formations on the
Face of the soil and roaming over inquiry,
I was sent to prison on a deed of transgression
Committed outside the range of my immediate sense.
In these three dimensions of a cell, the
Heart is cognizant of mystery, but feels the
Touch of a legion of phantoms bursting,
Speaking, offering delightful visions
Iced with smooth connection and my efforts
Are burdened with opaque thought.
Then the trauma became inflicted with
The tissue of muscle voluntarily contracted in
Immeasurable forms of motion and attraction.
The serfdom of our gravity at least
Partially extinguishes freedom from the skin, and
Mistakes justified by the ego of young
Life guard my locked door.
I feel ages of experience
My eyes are blue, deep longing for
The character of a kiss, the tenderness of touch and in this
I understand the meaning of my
Honor to treat you well, to love, yet
This morning I have only to pace and stare.
I cannot see what my brother's hands are doing
In the course of my responsibility while
The remains of fire are left to my care
Through the time of thirty years, and there is
An urgency wearing down the attitudes constructed
In answer to the acts of fellow beings.
Silence within the confinement of my physical soul
Enters the reality of this day:
The caress of hello
Passing the harbor scene
Sharing a laugh in mellow comfort.
Simplicity whispers the definition of happiness,
It is in an acceptance of a companion's humanity as
Soiled by the debris of ancient need and in
The dignity of giving truth.
XV
This convexity engendered by interesting patterns
Seems light through stretched cords utilized by
Percussion sequences.
Time and soft places remember
A dance toward parting youth.
It is for you in metropolitan crowds
Spirit within melancholy hazes, a reduction by
Centuries of narrowing ceremony is a
Porcelain heart given to her hands and
Dropped into shattering splinters as she attends some slender matter.
The total Centurion penetrates monastic cloisters,
Alone before the saint,
Permeable veils floating in a breeze, and rain to
Colorless runs with momentum frozen around rhythmic
Indications - The petals outside reach onto sun shelters
Of a brightness to devotion fathering the
Flower of presence.
A vase of royal blue exposes
Curvilinear appearance accented in that tone's deepness and
A glittering stands within itself as if apart from
Surrounding onlookers, yet containing a specimen of
The mind's exertion when still:
Consortium of sense relaxed and
Placed upon the setting where it is
Brought out of birth and shaped
Until an end.
XVI
WAITRESS AT ERIC RESTAURANT
Silhouette visions outside the window pane
Embellish thought with smooth reflection
Settled down to the
Silk whiteness attending an
Opening of youth throughout urban valleys.
A time before wandered childhood poses, now
Formed into the seriousness of a
Glance radiated beyond the open side of
Eric's tavern feeling.
Steps of effort blend with the facial comment
Given to the color of iris.
XVII
The well-lit side of tomorrow
Broken over frozen cubes of liquidity
It disappears with fragrant curbs
Spreading east side asphalt
Parallel to park scenes, all
Embedded within hopes of the life style.
Attribute of human nature
Stiffened by the will created,
She sang a melody and it was
Listened to, taken and adored
Then the fine affection was dissolved,
Summer thunder by an empty place,
Affluent slides
Sealed upon a bench,
Alone while approaching the tranquility.
Black and gray dots in array -
A human photograph solidifies
Staring eyes, lips departed
Silvery hair and momentum toward
Each variation.
A sailor is a lover's poem
The official resists, to be on the land side,
Natural way and built up apartment
Coincide in an embrace
Facing tenderness and compassion.
XVIII
A reputation in feasibility
Decides the campaign for
Public uniformity of judgment.
Brown bondage slips amidst tunnels
Protruding from subterranean regions,
Now a sloping formation of earth
Observed before basic roots settled as
Reality - flying symbols re-entered and imploded
Throughout interstellar spots left by departing fragments
Hardened in stern forces - to
Then grotesque creatures eyeing the landscape for
Happiness, probing their sensations
Collating dates, feeling to the color green on
A canvas painted for the mirror.
Driving throbs split corners making the
Surface smooth under dangerous patterns.
The conflict endures ages of man and
Dreamers plot the morning air with the
Reassurance of the first pleasant rainstorm falling along
Roman back alleys.
Humid prongs surround the face enjoying a
City's limpness,
The deeper side of frontier breaks into
Suffered performances.
Moral conformity shapes itself around
Inexplicable solitude in a breakfront
Sigh meshing onto the backing
Often subsiding, pushing inquiry to
Limits tapered downwardly
Further onward, full and swift to
Winding paths and sharp turns hitting
The wet horizon of seascape sights.
XIX
An opinion of control shades a tone of
Atmosphere through emphasis on the empire now dead.
Hieroglyphic bodies worship the temple walls lining a
Ruin reconstruction, often
Giving wonder to the museum window expanse
Flowing by the walk of a day before.
Red tinge sun glow underlines white clouds,
Plural lives past being merged into artisan
Strokes, as the enduring integrity.
Renaissance from Athens' history,
Manhattan pumps steel girders for
Sky awareness,
The Sonata, the discussion
Parlor purposes for the heirs
Coming into destiny.
XX
The early evening custom is a
Person engaged in regular conduct,
Portions of personality and dress
Combined to accomplish acceptable
Placement of corporal extremities.
Geometric oblong to the optical
Vantage point, leaving the initial
Moment for a far reaching view
And an arrangement of sounds is
Linguistics.
Within myriad groups
Certain meanings attach definitions for
Heavenly bodies and systems of astronomy.
Imaginary features command
Immense stretches of nothingness between neighbors
While intoxication falls below the sky because
The alternative struck stone-like,
Static, tense saw dust.
A few are able to wait in
Patient rhythms and others come back in
Repetition.
The final freshness appears to the mind,
Calmness be proud of triumph.
XXI
Heavy bursts of yellow decline in
Relation to horizontal reference lines
Commencing efforts of illumination and
Physical acts rationalized and ordered upon
A finding of fact alluded to by knowledge.
Level fields once stretching in a plane then
Changed into rooms of warmed, comfortable air, designed as
Embodiments of stature and societal conduct.
Within these boundaries circumscribing entrance ways
Paragraphs are spoken by a listener's ears
Spaces in a motive medium,
A beginning delineated by the semi-spherical portions of a
Christian Pantheon elevating toward the circular opening
To the outer sky.
Against such backgrounds, transformations occur
An external collection of books taken in by
Each domain of individual readership
A continuous thrust through midtown density
An opposing selection of isolated breeze and wave.
Exhale resistance!
A toast of wine and
Hours of expression to nestle in
Contacting words.
XXII
Forgotten masses ooze within the molten core
Held and surrounded by the lighter crust of
Inhabited earth. A path in peripheral
Domain satisfies passage desire;
Man walks to meet the confining result
Then conceives a conceptual basis for economy and
Trade of staple commodities.
Outer times are a parading edifice of
Choice and a few are chosen by
Circumstance of an actuality, let free in
The city's sway, pronouncing words at
A cafe
Finding connections,
Resting with the sounds.
XXIII
A turban wrap on a fighting head
Contributes relief from dry heat.
Level of white, small grains; the
Rule of climate ordains robes,
Nomadic style and centers along coastal planes.
European portraiture in dark dress and
Psychological eyes is north of the sheikdom,
Away from exposure;
Facts of the barren stretch that are the
Realities of movement
Grasping at the air of sleep
Falling still
The first break of sound gives a rising
Toward events that can look back on themselves
Even to the south.
A uniform dust then hemispheres,
Strife by the difference
Within the purview followed by news of
Distant motives,
The number of documents grows in volume.
Ritual diffusion by the calm gentlemen
Strength of a full statue is a carving from
Solid stone.
XXIV
Like a shimmering that is seen,
Height of interior stands along side in a
Tower unattached to the pedestrian.
Streams of vision deflected in a
Rounded path that does not touch,
Clandestine fits articulate the
Reasoning of excuse.
Once the artist died to the next
Morning leaving continuance of impression:
Oil on fine
Detail of the chronicle to
Quiet breeze sentences converted from the
Forest birch atmosphere and white sap
Filtering onto visible dispatch of substance.
He signifies air within form
Combining eternal time with an allowing means.
XXV
The decanter containing warm colored
Burgundy is attending tasteful repose given
After an air lot market where the
Manipulation of central authority is remote from
Waving arms and yelling people. The
Seed of formulation starts with
Stalls of fruit, cheese and fresh raw meat,
Primitive arrays in thirst progressing toward
Technological substitution and the replacement of
Ascending challenge by familiar suspension.
Meetings between self-image center toward
Ideas of tomorrow,
Prophecy leaves the argument
Brooding down a byway happening near
Knowledge of what they see, stopping to
Design
Stone, arch and beam,
Triangular postulation: a work in discipline arranging
Faceted surfaces in placement by the open view.
Integrity dines in an even light and
Rhythms of ocean front tides serve remembrance
Renewing original birth.
XXVI
TIMEPIECE
Regularity of mechanism covers the
Table, mahogany patterns and serene observation.
Lonesome involvement considers medieval shops with
The survival following seasonal extension.
XXVII
An afternoon conference in the advantage of
Economic concentration and informed opinion, then
Contemplation departs with the locked front door
Allowing free transit to a
Broadway and eighty-eighth street space.
Analysis standing diametrically opposed to
Blackened withdrawals rolling
Every sound and emission out of mind, being
Undisturbed by a lesser gravity holding domination
Over interference as ancillary flares.
Tragic syndrome comprises capability in
Brilliance locked by bothersome attractions to
Soil support, rarely dissolved through a
Violoncello release mixing cognac with sight in
A red velvet room.
XXVIII
Hello dear friend
Stopping flux upheavals pressuring
Continuation of daytime activity.
Release of the solar particles being thought into
Possession.
XXIX
Cogent response infused with solidifying reminder,
Fortuitous solvent and the next occurrence,
A basis under relation,
Failed expectation and uplift in strength --
The body fills designs radiating in
Fibers extensible to many aspects of the
Uniform point.
PART TWO
I
The alien conquerors align in patterns
Opposite the frontier, fostering penetration into the
Lands having honey enough to be taken.
Dawn call for fierce delay arrests a
Commander-in-chief, depriving ease and incarcerating
Peace with a family deep within the state under
Protection. Missing them and longing,
Bodily unrest distracts plans of strategy and
Analysis and your troops are scared:
Court jester dances out and how funny
Cigar, liquor, morning dust chill:
What shall be done today
Sleep long and late with fine breakfast, no,
Wisdom and philosophy teach when metal comes to
Take them away
Minister of War, King of valleys with
Natural autumn
Blood stains the eyes of God and
Poet grows faint writing a man.
II
Lover can do all that lives, yet chooses
A gift of happiness for some one other.
Flowers to a receiving smile are a limitation that
Melt the restraint sole passageways find near their
Distant reach, so an architect views harmony on
The beloved's shading and flourishes greatly as he
Leaves himself for the moment of two individuals
Conversing toward the placement of a home.
III
Knight dreams grow slow in strength near a
Set off informed by it's self-awareness
Pains and pains, trials to the heart,
Seeking dilutes youth, smoky, lost substance.
Night dreams assemble the inventory of
Life over spirit, coming back in corrected
Plots and ploys and a tired morning walk.
An area of charm and decoration --
Traveling dream breadth of an orbital width
Circumscribing the openness to transpose by
Bright boundary spheres slipping by the
Ambiguity.
IV
Mounting ringlets select thought as
Sense of a home comfort conforming photographic
Scenes in quaint village shelves, vases and
Cobblestone enrichment over the indigenous mud.
Then it is startling when the Jovian gas
Rises in difficult and complex solutions to criteria
Far, cold and immense--indications of
Absolute nuclear realities and values on the outside
Of experience.
A spot of weak reflection supported by
Pastoral horizons and enlarged by cerebral
Calculation feed through electromagnetic return:
Interiors, vast and concentric.
V
Character enters into the room
Reaching for benefit personal to
The wasteland,
Treachery under the sky,
Corruptible shrinkage of outermost extent: the
Visible means originated in Beauty, and
Failing purposes of dignity.
Middle man works every day with no time to
Read.
Contemporaneously:
An old man of cathedral silence has
Words noticeable for succinctness and a
Profound nexus to prefatory circumstance.
Each is free to correspond by
The street
To slip away or growth.
Several sources of definition for
Components and an environ,
Near to one another--it is called
Influence, and the beginning of adventure
Seized by time, darkened remains of common
Origin and hope fixed from past sacrifice.
Courtesy is a flux in between, with
All present realizing the deepness of its
Implementation in phase.
Character is an absentee,
Middle man has need of color, and
Old man must not request a material following.
When doing your soul
Prayer is the place for knees.
VI
Advantage of an age long disposed in
III health need be the next sight
Ignited by breath confined in a heartbeat.
Simplicity of still life painting and
Serenade disposition--It is a fantasy,
Days of an artist in young manhood:
To see the partaking of meals and laughter
As physical means to support brush article
Against canvas
And the created poem as the life of existence.
Soldiers under the symbol portraying
Power receive compensation for
Today's conflict, yet
A future's victory of reason
Cannot battle with the hardware of primitive war
And it is an eventuality that provides the
Civilized waiting.
VII
Formal arrangement to
Complement the beautiful boulevard
Portends continuing sense
Laid down in the stillness of
Long hours and patience.
Outward convexity maintained
Through an even stride covered with
Calm by knowledge, color and enriched texture,
Following passageways dedicated to
Primary architects versed in scripture's blessing.
Ethereal description may be a comprehensive
Ledge and a place to learn already existing
Balance.
VIII
Calibration to a waltz in
A state quite sure of value.
And some sensation comes strong
Personal, to forget, leaving feeling
Intellect may doubt,
But opportunity for fantasy easier than a
Fact.
Assumption viewed from a past occasion
Awarded title in place of life's control
Will not be descriptive of a tree that
Sheds leaves in deep red and Autumn
With the certainty of genetic truth.
Effortlessly in a season after
Butterfly derives the flower.
IX
Propagation into causal penetration
Gathered throughout a malevolent sufferance to
Prepare surveillance over
Style in reaction to stoic comfort.
In other cities soft spoken antecedent
Reads a linear expanse onto
The brow of sultanate promulgation
Taking coverage to recall harmonies,
Thinly veiled signals and
Atmospheric disruption. While on streets
Limber biophysical concepts breath
Hard, noticeable sounds piercing
Intellect down sorrowful dispersions.
Gradation forward as a proceeding commenced
Early until it blazes.
X
Everyday attempts from old periods
Frightened by individuals of
Reality
Theatrical projects illustrate
Perception folding onto
A wooden -
Loving throb paid for security's home
Against a reassured self keeping account
And skill to constantly extend.
A song is lost by listener's
Not at readiness to measure by the
Lyric's sense
Mosaic static and
Apparent deaths walked to stone guardians
For the growing lawn.
Window pane fulcrum - scenery
Off indoor secret,
Outside cedar scent sinless cares for the
Wind's safe return.
XI
Feet become the co-efficient of
High occasion, acquisitive
Twinkling in the legs and other
Eyes below a jazz band floor are
Bold triumphs and
Slavery mastered under finite chains.
Trumpet calling clarinet, seemingly
Midnight, laughs a sunshine
Emission for virtuoso happiness.
A shadow is the region's end, comfort
And singular rule as all
Omission equals lower functional boundary to
That material nothingness beyond looking
Afar.
XII
Sight voyages the measurement
System of gradual strain
Across intuitive years,
Light intervals
Being struck at the drain of
Succumbed loneliness in operative seclusion
On the verge of energy
And a vacuum condensate
Gathered by verbal selection, a
Humanized figure -
Extraordinary depot for
Transverse lines of segmented relationship
Axial expansion toward inwardly
Presented sensory illumination,
A resultant form of will
Dispersed and conveyed in fluid droplets
Through the strength of rarefied compound.
XIII
An exposure to wheat stems baked into
Food and freed as protein formula with
Roots in mystery fertilization and
Open ended limbs curved about wandering
Through mazes of object at a place of
Light interception.
Dilation and focus
Moment and memory
The attic and window design
Continues down the passageway
Reshaped day reflected into untold brain cells and
Moved to a foreign reach in a cyclic synthesis
By the chemical power of goodness raising
Plant physiology to natural carriage of the
Imagery mirror.
XIV
Mood of recent encounter leaves
Partitioned domain of area thereby forming
A close proximity and caring how
People part at necessities separation.
Delicate balance of consideration for
Co-pending days, by its nature
Climax settles the chapter.
Bricks of a wall are a pattern of
Someone' s work
Nomadic discipline arrives at the
Conclusion in construction.
XV
Superior student nervously flips a pen.
His peaceful mind wandered with
The spinning object to sustain it from
Eventual fall and to impart
Renewed flight,
Several times, adding up seconds
In historical interludes leaving issues of
Today to compile the essence of now.
Statements drop off the top plane on a slant
Down for the vertex of conical meditation.
She is very new to life--a key to
Differences in physical manifestation.
Arbitrary methods of travel are a
Comparison for the relevancy of distended goodness
That is a concentration between a seated
Man and a moving dancer.
The performing altar displayed in
Celebration.
XVI
The thing of conscious-less composition
Given purpose and a story by
Some other observer imposing
Conclusion less than a co-existence.
A revenge by the bearer of insecurity
Disguising wave emissions with a rainy
Intolerance and clearing channels for
Irregular passage.
He knows love is missing and
Acts out a beast - off balance,
Withdrawn into an induced mistake
Laughing at the emotion stranded
Beyond the reason of belief.
At the place of recreation, a
Brilliant seducer sneers in a game
Of fashionable appearance
Delighting white arms and blushing faces
Over an aura of disarray
Receding from the projected configuration
Injected through a page on flat
Surface.
Reactions consist as soluble complexities
Dissolved with intent
Broadened planes of concurrence.
Partial exemplification occupying
Similar situations into ending variation.
XVII
Hot particles of sand burn a dream with
Aquatic illusions of moist grandeur. Yet
Acceleration presumes some form of actual change.
A fortunate incarceration clarifies the nature
Of will undefined by judgmental contour:
Primal center point to arc perspective beneath
Circumferential progression of consuming contradiction.
And the differences are home in several,
Separated living hearts pumping into
Segregated fields of red tinged inaccurate tissue
Seeking knowledge with promissory pain.
A careful stone facade highlights one
Corpuscle flow in slightly lengthened
Temporal duration - An ever increasing
Constant awaiting decided return of
Diverging styles.
XVIII
Confrontation between relatively alien populations
Contains a persistent reality even if
The present moment is an uneventful
Saturday afternoon in a room alone.
A lazy body movement placing
The imaginary machine at an optimum
Incline drifting across limitations to
Facilitate some proposed eye contact.
An attentive and compassionate command articulates
The approach
Inside an electron orbit geometry to
Manifestation of the conscious bond between
Past fragments handed together according
To consistent flight plan:
Tables and chairs give a silence for the
Peopled variation destined to memory.
Why is a conceptual challenge to
Plausible displacement boundaries under
Exit demarcations. Now is the
Static conscience conferred perfect and free visitation to
Time-wise elongated restlessness.
XIX
Hands of high birth tenderly apply
Touch to pulsing regularity of northern
Tidal variations and snow is known
As a matter of declining temperature.
A great many solid drops
White for the natural inclination
Toward frozen obedience.
Arctic environment is a summation of small
Acute angles and a wind that
Assaults exposed skin surfaces with an admonition
On the finite qualities of the worldly life body.
XX
Grapes plummet vine attachments into
Festive forgetfulness and
An urge coming leftward.
I know it forgives in pleasure
Between a lapse of continuity -
Before abounds as a consequent precipitation
Covering matter configurations with finality.
XXI
Midst depth involvement
On attacking confiscation,
Following feared flights over
Terror messages from unknowing condemnation
Crouched position set back from frontal
Seeming reasonable modes of conversation,
Survival descends from a cognizance
Of the cracking twig
Splitting worlds apart to
Faces in contortion.
The chant is regular, a
Town feeling about something
Before permanence.
PART THREE
I
A routine of mindful procedure
Became the man who assumed societal function.
The daily encounter to satisfy
Commerce requirement captured the doer
Through singular compensation and elevation
Of personal resume above the aggregate normal.
Once a change took his place and
Separated the man from the task
Leaving an empty idea without a day to work in.
Now quite alone to be himself
He barely moved, but always enough to traverse
The objections raised by necessity and
He rarely spoke, but always at a level sufficient
To overcome surrounding sound.
His worth had been defined in terms of a job
Description as he confined the future to attaining
What was desired
And now it simply passed on to a younger man.
Yet the minimal activity intact after the
Career close came as a new emerging --
He felt his body as a pulse and breath
Phenomenon somehow known, but never previously considered
In his feelings toward advancement.
He was surrounded by the
Warm entity
Watched it move in limited scope on the binding
Sphere revolving along orbital lines.
Mindful became this man
He is simply here.
In which direction does it turn.
II
In an advanced year of an early passage
The still quite unfamiliar intelligence
Comes to some understanding tributary
Branch concerning the termination.
During an October change
Thought forced to a reality:
influence for the next coming
fetus floatingly suspended
as an open thought
within the womb
enclosed by contemporary vision.
A life as a sigh
Silently passed through the ear of
A smaller child.
Into each mind strokes of nuance
Are painted Canvas held from
An outer view,
Unexplained motivation
Until a prophet sees events as
Rock held in a downwardly facing,
Opening hand, then declares
The path determined by known physics.
Fever thrashes an upright stance
Furnace fired by tangled bodies
Emotional dependency on the peace of a cornfield
The nineteen thirties had a look of early model cars
The Alps receive wind
Peculiar behavior that is a reckless abandon
Of acceptable play through conventionality
Drunkard for intoxication by some wonderful feeling.
Sometimes life depends in you
To set the crop on growth -
The significance of death and birth.
Make a walk
The blood of a building
A startling event held intermediate
Intensity of words.
III
Hope may receive the fuel of coal
Before leaving the table's light.
An image connection between fused intrinsic centers
Separated by surfaces of translucent concession.
Particles agitate to the thermal explanation that
Flees extinction refusing life,
Movement comes from a preparatory glimpse contained in
Revelation. Forever a dimension-less constant underwrites
The historical context that considers clarity and shade as
Aspects of an attitude dissection and every
Achievement will be merged into the
Consumption of the final ice.
IV
At the shadow spaced across
The eye attentive to expectation
Actual motion away contributes
Stiffness to the neck and lower mind.
The hands are relentless
Nervous
Feeling the perception of fingers'
Silent association among
Malleable street canyons and
Drifts of thought seeping along
Cross town openings from the
Terme di Caracalla to Catacomb attenuation-
All the air is single
A molecular broadcast of holiness
Until the day is done.
V
Indiana Toll Road visits steel mills
Having an aesthetic too great for a
Place to live.
Here is a production of vital support for
Our metal framework and
It's taken down into a community
Always near.
Hard hats on a shift interim
Fill the promenade so misplaced in the
East Chicago dilemma.
Rolling red issues from a blast furnace
In natures way of giving
Suitable appliance.
There in plants one through ten
Out shipments reach hands able to build.
VI
On a fresh sheet a new
Beginning is hoped for.
All of yesterday was summed up
By a conversation between my former self
And a developed friend when
We could only talk from remnants
Held in our separate recall.
The change in relations was
Confirmed by meeting a supporting
Personality known by an older companion.
It was found that
She has a sense of existence and
Happiness in her own right, which
Was all missed by the polite
Hello given on occasions when she
Was incidentally around the room.
An overlooked face finally illuminated
By the absence of the primary
Introductory means.
Further on physical contacts melt to a
Self arranged memory left to transfigure
A related tomorrow
And an unnoticed outer fringe centers itself
Within a new conversation.
An admixture of shifting encounters subsisting
At the purview of some cognitive feature
Waiting to find the personal beginning to a
Never ending stillness.
VII
She inspired a poem unknowingly
While her controlled sense contracted from
Awareness of projected line turning about a
Concerted effort to smile in response to
Lesser demands.
VIII
THE SUMMER PLAZA
There are several embodiments of the architect's thought
And printed ideas carefully refined by editorial discrimination.
Then you sit alone with a sense of relationship
To the plaza habitants as
Head pains announce your efforts to achieve,
But that is not in a communicable form.
Maybe the eyes have a tint of strain
Yet erased by a sunny weather.
Pronounce a phrase of winter and
Summer becomes momentary;
Experience knowing the nakedness of subsequent times.
IX
Away from green
Deepening chromatic characteristics
Face the chilled thrust.
Severe keeper speaks in a concise statement
A prophetic quality that releases
The leaf remembrance to future
Cold circumstance.
It is observed through a summary of degrees
To change the listener's composition,
Crackling sonic brought on by stiffness,
Movement of orientation.
Throwing arms into the air
One sudden act integrating process aspects
Conceptual accord in a complacent countenance
Framed by well placed development.
X
A stretch of flesh widely known to
The several finger tips of giving reception.
Approached with careful contact and
Accepted at a passing interface
Taking delicacy from warmth on departure.
Conception not seen in effect, only felt for
The duration of sight. Ultimately, a dim
Strangeness that comes from former familiarity.
XI
An airy fog rests heavy on the
Line of sight forcibly replacing
The neighborhood with numbness giving
Detail undistinguishable gray.
An actual differentiation is there to impact
Despite fanciful dismissal,
The dazing grace of an oblivious stride.
XII
The stars are in space, too wide
Apart to enclose the fine mist
That is occasionally caught by the
Small complexity and
Applied to a canvas as a
Half hidden face frozen in the
Act of loving a woman's smile.
Narrowness of space and slowness of time
Come to a point contacting the reality of unphysical
Presence.
Those visual contrasts vivid for the
Dream quality neither the red nor the blue.
The differing color characteristics of contiguous parts
Touching for something beyond the space of time.
XIII
Loss of perspective walks in a style
Freer than what is allowed the confined displacement.
An arrogance belying the seasonal scheme
With an expanding illusory revision that
Serves to affiliate pressure.
Conforming to acceptance holds a pleasure onto itself and
Need given relief adds a weakness to serenity.
Love is undefined in the language of the wise
A universal portal applied with the exactness of
Proportion.
XIV
They support each other's sexuality
Like two counter currents colliding
To implode thoughts of sufficiency.
A single part acquiring attractive surfaces for
Association with a complementary display.
The need designs a hasty, supercilious outline in
Weakly denying the creative input.
PART FOUR
I
The given poem -
A circumferential act
Continuing unto itself
To clarify the purpose
Of a considered hello.
II
Steam vapor dissolves as a whisper in the air.
Arranged in the responsibility
Is an experience of all that is left.
Expansion must center
On a heart firmly braced.
III
A feeling from inside that is obeyed
Regardless of present operatic drama or balletic eventuality.
A happiness founded on action conformed to the
Heartening struggle.
How is the object of devotion focused upon -
Sudden realization of anticipatory event revitalized
Singular compatibility utilized to achieve creative possibility.
Certain rush of moments impact
Sensory reason to deformation of shape and
Deflection relative to particular free will.
Management of the energy of absorption succeeds
When understanding generates the strength to smile.
IV
Presence consists as a
Companion when attending
The sandy reception of persistent surf.
An endearing sweetness amplifying
The resounding air for
Simplified walk by a shared view.
In a momentary repose rendered precious
Through nearby beauty
Feelings fly to clarifying awareness of an
Unhurried reality
Acting upon enclosing halves.
V
A rainstorm drifts onto the valley
Freeing a mountain neighbor to
Total absorption of discharged radiance.
Nearly nothing remains between the water
Drenched surface and the immeasurably hot
Plasma sphere save an appreciative
Understanding existing adjacent slow evaporation.
VI
Just before dawn, in
Facing the larger magnitude of order
No element is firm at position in being
Like a snow structure is free
To traverse the blue silence
Underlying the white puff of vapor condensate
Until an earth obstruction chooses
A resting place
And thermal agitation breaks down
The crystalline spread.
VII
Depth of rhythm
Outlined by the pain of a changing context
That impedes the perpetration of a sincere smile
While distant laughter takes the basic form
To its unstructured purpose. Yet
One body is the separated piece
Of the altogether absence
Entirely whole at the quartet string utterance.
VIII
PIETA
A limp mass of cellular material
Peacefully placed along a caring support.
The chemical center upholding life was
Deprived sustaining fluid
Yet, the non-dimensional core
Realized its presence
Before the blow interfered with
Bifurcation extending human normalcy. Thus
Presentation of a didactic triumph
For the dignity of the first contiguous limbs.
IX
Alone before the foreign ground
Results in a tendency to lose
Familiar responses.
A stellar reflection novel to the
Newly arrived ocular inquiry.
When illiterate in the verbal tradition,
All that is left is a sparkling stream above an intellectually balanced stone
And a naturally formed shadow.
X
The enclosed space and attendant articles
Assigned weight by gravitational law
In accordance to presented mass.
An independent cognizance suddenly imputes
Circumstance for correlative attachment.
This complex function of past variables
Reaches for a fixed constant to yield
It as is
While blindness sighs of simple
Erroneous subsistence.
XI
The tear is concealed from the maddening advance
By generated dust, then
Falls to the ground in satisfaction of
Dominance.
Conquest of the material dilemma
Crushing a warm moment.
XII
Scratch an orderly array of black
Substance on otherwise total reflection for
An alphabetized distillation of the
Fair thought landscape.
Comprehension of the poem
Moves not at all to
Find a new place.
XIII
The mutual attraction between large bodies
Has a way of lengthening the cumulation
Of the eventual collision.
A frame of reference so far beyond
Expectancy that the inevitably small view point
Is comfortable with a fair day of weather
And declines invitation to attempt
Imitative style lodging at the border
Of particle to essence.
XIV
A melody may contain the profound
Sequence of atmospheric disruptions causing
Nameless result at the membrane of the
Living act. Molecular cooperation
Intensifying the initial cloud
To synergistic order.
XV
A relaxed hour around the cafe
Subsequent to the orchestral achievement
Locates the infinite pause
To the eternal city.
XVI
The square is conceived as a comfortable
Situation for a lingering mind.
A place for the informed, image containing obelisk
To accompany the Egyptian embodiment.
XVII
As the primal contacts are removed
From blinding connection by the reaction of observed bodily
Activity with seemingly apathetic mass flow -
An absolute forms in a feeble sigh
Loosely juxtaposed to the farthest appearance.
Loss is the soothing focus.
XVIII
We are devoted to isolation
As dawn man immersed in the cave lining.
A cranium delimits unbounded parting lips
Despite the massively mentioned message of free choice.
Selection of the shapeless point positioned
By arch over earth
Places music within the ear.
XIX
A natural green growth
inserted into the ground as a
purified plan commanded by
the patron of corrupt satisfaction.
The leaf remains long after cessation of
the taken spiritual gift.
Today is a legend of yesterday
illustrated by timeless formulation.
XX
Through a plan of associating
Close benefit to expansive happening
An eclipse of poignant intercourse
Dissipates warmth of empathetic instruction
To myopic contour of the sculptured shell.
Immensity rephrased as a small matter.
XXI
Resolution to perform as in a perfect principle
Without desire for an intervening savior
- eventually
Walk by the peaceful maze of sunlight sounds
Is a reward for
The undemanding passage of time.
XXII
A moan is let out from the
sphere of intelligent increments
and advances undetected by the instruments
designed for audio perception.
A faulted operation fixed in advance
by the distracted interpreter.
There is no effort to refrain from determined
obstruction to the propagation of the creative wave.
Ignorance ignores discomfort within the physics
of the sublime outcry.
XXIII
Thought in fixed medium
Word in transitory state
Action in agitated motion
The trio scorns unity
To provide the sacred disobedience.
XXIV
An elongated element stands erect from
the lower floor forming boundary -
A vertical quality being
a means for prohibiting
free cross touch.
A lack of secure knowledge solidifies
the supporting foundation
deep in a deficient vocabulary.
XXV
Tensile nervousness rests on the wings.
Before a rising plane.
That is how it is whenever
The required skill is given as the kinetic source
Of the Essential motion.
XXVI
Concentrating on a movement
Features assume beauteous concept.
A dancer in rehearsal
Complete the ideal
Worthy of reality.
XXVII
Consciousness concerns the element
Of the sunflower seed
Turned back on itself.
A manner of speech
Finds the sunflower blossom -
A subtracted value.
XXVIII
The dancer cannot see what the mirror hides.
Estranged from her own movement While
Diffused light and the sweat of energy
Are observed through the innocence of appreciation.
Object; A tenuous hold on what is.
XXIX
Tortuous despair in the soft evening setting
Agonized waking in the fresh morning rise
Cumulative discord in
An expanse of gold colored stone
Heard through brilliant display of the
Symphonic facade, sculptured sound, painted poem.
Discontent of separation weaves
A tender design.
XXX
Sense of widening proportional placement
Arrives with a transposition through
Temporal dust - tune in the phase
Set forth by precise conceptual frame.
Allowance of soul sings in a voice
Of virtuous nature.
XXXI
Noticed fragrance and remembered blush
Seduces along some subliminal channel,
Suggestive of timely estate. Let
Sensual impression acquire freedom
As a beneficial condition for
Satisfaction of the dominate role desire.
Yet the history of the reaction
Advances as master over conclusion.
XXXII
A lack of restriction by the
Muscular involvement is independence
To fly from a settled dance.
A plague denies any request for pleasure,
Endears today, torments tomorrow
Someway illustrates the life given death.
XXXIII
Intelligence is diminished by a foreign tongue
Yet often replaced by an inarticulate phrase
In a word is everything
The sound is heard and collapsed
By constraints of a poor definition.
A walk in real time is without need of description,
The planetary path is there.
XXXIV
Dimension-less curvature of outer touch
As an electromagnetic tracing on the visual orb
Interpretation founded on some innocuous profound
misspelling -
All is now for me.
And the soft, breeze remains oblivious to absurd demand,
Pantheon escapes alone from altered hope.
XXXV
FIFTH AVENUE
Above the limit of plural human compatibility
Isolates the singular mode of life steps
At the criss crossing eye beams
Forever departing from visual sight
So seen as overall, mutual experience.
XXXVI
To live in an exotic seaport opening
Around a sun dallying over some
Byzantine pointed arch,
All luxurious golden hue bathing early
Renaissance tradition
Only to blend into the feared mist,
After the fall:
Necessary humid decay.
XXXVII
Each awakening into the envelope of expanding
Light thought
Comes down with awkward, hard adjustment
Predetermined reflective comfort of past
Realization lost to the selfish rule.
XXXVIII
The air was a conduit
Dissipating the body warmth
To the blue surrounding.
A single cloud acknowledged
What must be suffered
On a cold day.
XXXIX
A treacherous stern reason
Caresses the peaceful Being theorem.
The vastness of the motion
Is unnoticed at the sky.
In limited exposure
The obvious is apparent.
XL
The meaningful vertices
Is withdrawn from the converging lines
A stretch of the human aspiration.
Trifle annoyance faults the desired ambiance.
The decided disposition lives the life.
XLI
Opening acquired a progressively
Diminishing dimension
Slow motion allows a time to pass through
Ordered observation comprehends the light
Of either side.
XLII
Travel on the open dimension -
A release of the constant inquiry,
Access to the resultant thought.
Captured by the right thing to do
Is an acquisition
Of the truthful Creation.
XLIII
Brilliant color leaks from the blossom
Fallen to the ground,
After a short time
It did what it had to do.
Die wisely
Sweet bud
Decompose across the earth
To be One.
XLIV
Force becomes turbulence
In the fluid flow.
Rather than an incarnate pain
Withdrawn from the moment,
The ocean wave is calm by the time of the shore.
XLV
A compressive urgency lingers
After the creative act.
A need of the loin calls the suffered viewing
Away from the museum visit.
Too often the sensibility is held
In a spaced relation to the happy underpinning.
XLVI
Tangential passing between
The circle of certain pattern with
The configuration of contrived notion
Lacks sufficiency to develop the solid land.
Abrupt jolt at the medium envelope
Tortured twist to the temporal constraint
A withdrawal outwardly to a distant nothingness.
XLVII
An axially resilient element is
Able to yield to the vertical assault,
Collapsible at the horizontal event.
Universal orientation operates
Throughout the sphere of selfless satisfaction.
XLVIII
On the dark side of the Light
Intuition tells him is There:
The man is poised to pray for the sins of the world.
Fool! Sinners only laugh.
The Sun never speaks of its blazing Message.
XLIX
Memory does not deprive Life
Future never gives
Time Truth knows not
"Before you were, I AM"
Sacrifice is acceptance of your Self.
L
In the mist
A pointed arch,
So carefully construed,
Has abandoned a clear display.
Surely the created facade
Is longed for by today.
Oh. The closeness of the spoken word
Is far beyond into yesterday.
LI
A two thousand year old shadow
The ruin quietly displays.
It is one complete story
Waiting for an end.
The twentieth century directs the orange haze
Against a black sky.
It stands in resolution
To the riddle yet to be understood.
LII
Casual walk about a sensation
Darkens the spiritual interface.
Turned to striking left
As alert outpouring intelligence with
Calm awaiting of the appointment
From true order - a man at his life.
LIII
Without the result
From important impulse
Leaves an unsteady nature
Plunging high for departure into
Deep escape leveling contrasted
Parts for a contemporary insight.
Fear of opinion hastens disunity of invention.
LIV
Dissatisfaction executes a terminal disclaimer
To obviate the present rejection
Then finishes the forming energy
Short of the proper application.
Slow removal of the faulted drive
Releases a person to an easy pose.
LV
Living within the fabricated frame
Typically arrives subsequent to a
Fantasy valuation handicapped
By self imposed promise
Removing the confusing
Simplicity of factual sensations.
A time comes when the rejected State
Withstands common contempt.
LVI
Dynamic ease takes control
To offend the pervasive still spreading plague
Undermining tranquil birth.
It happens when the whole consisting throughout the fragment
Is diseased as disregarded invisible everything.
In an ordinary day propriety cures.
LVII
Concupiscence was bled for
After the serious fault.
Florence now waits for the world to wake.
Sleep is a long time
Unaware to travel about
The predetermined Doors.
LVIII
A pending malfeasance always lingers
Between the scheduled matter.
Practicing the burden with single ethical seriousness
Disciplines the office hours to secured activity.
To perform, yet not to be:
A frame of consciousness
Centered as civilization.
LIX
An arrangement of rules broad
To apply without restraint
Carries a gift of settling results.
The purest implementation
Avoids the dust of
Sophisticated oblivious contact.
LX
The space between us
Is a void of oppression.
The confines of a mind
Prepare an awful constraint.
The missing touch
Breeds a lonely love.
LXI
Innocence is sheltered from the outward influence
And has never ventured at the frustrating void.
An excursion through the turbulent other
Reveals the valued volume as a
Distant perspective verifies the honest dimensions.
Stained virtue is purest.
LXII
The personification of a new awakening
Contours the delicate opening heart to
A first embodiment of innocent perception.
True feelings are a loss through experience
Purifying the inner reservoir from compelling desire.
Understanding outlines the inspired Love.
LXIII
A relationship holds a relative statement
Of two partial entities signified by
A prominent separateness.
Perfect interrelation lapses by a complexification
Of the hinted sharing
When a personal idea confuses the point
Of the attempted union.
Obfuscation finds a haze
As the moment defeats the parted imperfection.
LXIV
Slight shift of tone
Pronounces a subtle variance
To the perceived condition.
A steadfast awareness bears the loss.
Change is called strength.
Sensitivity is called wisdom.
LXV
Small pieces of corruption remain
Nestled at spaced locations throughout
The sensed region.
Wind, when applied to a single newspaper,
Spreads havoc across the entire street.
A concrete call gravitates more than the airy sigh.
LXVI
Some diverging tension communicates
The disjointed comment as
Rotational displacement
Accelerates the conclusion towards
The integral beginning point.
Gross misappropriation represents the taken
Wish before the distorted dream.
LXVII
Vacuum phenomena comprises
Certain emptiness urging all
Reluctant particulate matter
Through a frantic flight
From white width to black plenum.
LXVIII
Each quantum of haphazard occurrence
Signifies a joy violated by a pain.
At the exact arc centers
Touch through a circuitous passage forming means
Somehow ignoring that the advantageous arrangement
Contains the ordered stillness in the given Word.
LXIX
Absence is not the excuse
For departing from
The announced celebration.
Swirl of souls composes the lifted thought
Visualized to overshadow the brave
Extension of timid man
Reaching out.
LXX
A flaw in the crystalline relation
Is a recognition of what surrounds it
Depth of eyes over outwardly contoured cheeks.
Direction harnesses that reflected sense of being
Amorphous contemplation is the sculpture of a lie.
LXXI
The angelic blush is hidden from the lady's
Consciousness. The deep essence
Illuminates to without.
The wall within
Wastes the fine substance.
I see what cannot be said
Because of the wall
The Wall.
LXXII
A friend spoke a few words
And a stranger was born.
Hurled at me in the shock of a second -
The blissful aura broken
To brittle deception.
Yet, purity is absence of punishment,
Therefore, I am the fault.
LXXIII
To be a part of what surrounds me
Is in me
Then feel perfect Beauty always
In a form, in a movement.
My breath is Life drawn into me
And that is what I am.
LXXIV
TO WENDY
Through a slow turn
Of the graceful form
A singular mode of beauteous
Art is made as happy gesture.
Comprehension of the smiling lift
Frees the called spirit to consummate being.
LXXV
Purposely I came to Le Figaro
Apart facing an empty chair crowded by noise.
"Where are your feelings lying"
Precipitated from the air - uncalled for.
Nothingness negates uncertainty
And feelings do not lie in an empty chair.
Anyway, feelings are a desire for an idealized lie
I chose to love.
EPILOGUE
The inevitability of Physics;
The temptation of everything else.
AN INSPIRING POEM
YOU'RE MISSING FELIX
by Stephen Paul Miller
Recognizing some sort of tense context won't
do it.
He calls out and the call shimmers
uncaught by particular despair,
Stretches, epitomized by the stale odor
of scratching turmoil.
You're missing Felix. No where
else do I care for now.
for F. D'A.
AN INTRODUCTION TO A POETRY READING
by Stephen Paul Miller
Felix D'Arienzo is freer from socially accepted and self-imposed misconceptions about what a poem is supposed to be than any other poet I know. Just as Edward Taylor was writing poetry with a characteristic American limpidness almost immediately after Massachusetts was settled, and hiding it from his neighbors, Felix D'Arienzo portends something sturdy and new by simply being himself.
