Charcoal Charm
You think the black night frightening?
But its brightness exceeds the sun,
Daytime, we keep our eyes level,
Only the brave enough sungaze
Dare descent of blindness.
Sunsets are sad...
Theatrically the gallant god
In unembellished furious purity
Gallops away vanquished by Night.
Night is Kali eternal
Black mother goddess, tresses fanning out
To envelop a universe of pain.
Divine mysteries blinking jewels of her mane.
Wee willy winks of fate
Revelations glittery alluring day
can never show.
Uncovering obvious truisms, in darkness,
The mind freed of limitations of light.
To deeply dream
The beyond of boundaries
barriers space and time impose
The white light renders eyes wide shut .
Abre los Ojos
Open your third eye see
Gloriously.
An infinitesimal eternal sea
Baring waves incomprehensible
That carry you further away from
The shores, and then,
What is life...?
A mere dip into existence.
Scaffolded to a plane of scanty dimensions.
Where is the locus of death ...?
An advanced bungee jump
Off the cliff of life, and sentient pain
The cord pulls us back to the beyond.
The out there, the elsewhere,
Yonder beckons us, yearning to be
Understood, realised.
Shrugs cosmic shoulders of grace
If it is not your time
It is what it is. Your Now
Must also be.
Like super strings
to stellar halls of creation.
Untrammelled imagination
Sorrows stamp of constancy
Erased. Forgotten.
Realisation we borrow premises
To make sense of limited senses.
Illusions of entanglement of You
And me.
Cessation from churning cesspools of life....
We find immortal Nectar of intangible Seas...
Invincible, immaterial, and our thirst
Unquenchable, and slaked.
Floating above mother’s black veil...
Earth her hot link hyper playground
Pain mere hurdle, obstacles for the
Joy of jumping, leaping into forever.
Say yes to Desire,
Say yes to Darkness
Say yes, to the mystic mystery
Of not knowing.
Embrace knowing nothing.
Embrace nothing itself
As everything your heart desires.
You shall see.
With eyes that veil
death's designs of sadness
Welcomes pain’s madness
Deluges of rain that bring gladness.
You shall see more than this,
Such eyes of charcoal charms promise.
Nothing is delusion
Darkest thoughts are real
Freedom
A chimera...inside.
We are already liberated
Ink libre nights beckon us to write
The storm inside is what calms
Charcoal charms of our seductive
Sleeplessness...Insomniac drunk
Amnesiac gently breathe the dust mote of
Liberation....off your palms.
You are it.
Awed, bedazzled and united with
Eternal endless moonless Night
Starry bride lifting her veil
In acceptance of full stops...
New journeys begin
Forwarding our old addresses
Unto Promised lands
Avast ye Lethe, and Hades
And hell.
Non-negotiable
This, our deliverance.
