A modest try
Upon opening my book of rhymes i am
puzzled by new revelations
is the process best described as wordsmithing
or excruciating surgery on the mental plane? sundry times i have
found
that the jargon flows pleasantly enough when inspiration penetrates the heart
and liquifies the calcinated, redundant thought-trains
which rush to and fro or
fixate on points in time and space it could be
compared to being at the dance when you spy that beauty which
appears in flashes of lightning and a
newborn's smile
she is alone in her interlocking, gyroscoping, absolute
splendor as you look across eons and see
her
by herself manifesting the gods' mumblings and their effortless
perfection
all
in dance
then you speak to your heart i would like to join that
aesthetic pleasure as i see
it displayed amidst the commoners here i too would love to
flow as my soul dictates
and throws my physicality into tremors of ectasy
as the crowd gathers
and cheers and jeers as i lose myself
and glimpse the
higher
goal
as i become it all with aid
of the beauty
i was once apprehensive of circumscribing
with my latin-derived chatter
as i hope and pray that you can see her
as i have felt her
as i hope
to
live
her
