Enigmatica Ocula

Missing image

 

Deeper meaning floats the peaking flower
Devours my soul, peaks our sighs.
Moments,
Never still-born lies.
Never still
Water Lilies
never
fail to float in the dew-pond of our singular psyche.

 

Visions & versions allure
Dances with darling.
Our inner middle is their riddle.

 

The world’s far away ‘pick-me-downs’
Swing us up in rapturous laughter.
Then bring endless places where
Kisses quiver between dewdrops.
And scattered diamond lights flicker around
The corners of our multilayered rainbows
Called eyes

 

And I
I am out of my mind
Pleasure and pain
Search-ing the “ings” of life
The odd sounding mysteries of life
Days warm-ing distant region-ings

 

Oh, giving up on not
Attending to life’s “ings”
Lov-ing mostly
Paint-ing
Rain-ing
Sometimes
Rant-ing
Always Feel-ing the “on Purpose” part of pangs, Age
Spending more time in out of time

 

Emotions...
Is it wrong to be so
Emotional!
Love so deep,
Other parts of life don't dare draw near
"Being strong and dealing with it" (what a joke)
this is not really dealing with it. 
It is a way of avoiding
it. 
 
If we are quiet and watch moon circle brokenness
Damp eyes with pyre strength know
Each other
That’s facing the reality of
it. 
That's dealing with it
Feeling, "on purpose",
The anti-numbing of
Every ounce of love...

 

Deeper love seems an
Uncharted wholesome heaven.
We end up...where?  The unknown?  Truth & trust?  Either way, like any hot blooded strange springtime allure,
Deep intrigues of wisdom from ministers and idiots
No longer self-censor us.

 

"Good think-ing" never goes far enough.
I’d rather meet love to get ready
Than get ready to meet love
Wouldn’t you rather, my audience
Choose to
Meet God to get ready
than
Get ready to meet God?

 

Dear woman
Trust the inside
You’re not alone
My love,
I am here and
I will love you forever and ever
I meet you where you are at
 
Following my heart,
Going where the love is
Is worth ing-ing for.
I’ll never beg for distraction
Go-ing where the love is... 
I
keep love pure by focus-ing on it, alone. 
Alone? 
It's all that matters in the end. 
Heart.
 
Intellectual-ing emotions helps people move on...
But when they rouse to rest
Realizing they never really lived….
And what to do then?
And I
I can't live that way.
 
Your Timo
The Warrior Poet
is always lov-ing you...
(because you have shown me "love is a verb"
I know…I know
I will never drown in a cold world
Because you have been here

    You actually read it aloud? Now I feel honored. I'll read this next week, perhap today. It's a hard one to read, as it brings many memories flooding through my heart and soul. Thank you so much for reading this. Yes...I find logic useless. I am almost all left brain. I can barely count to ten without noticing a beautiful flower or color pass before my senses. I have a few right brain friends to ask questions of, like..."Is it really important to have a job and pay bill?" I have been gainfully employed (FT) for a long time, so I'm not a lazy bum or something. I just think things are more important than a job. I want my job and my job to be one. Maybe this poetry thing will work out after a while. That or counseling kids with drug/alcohol problems (or both).
    As you can tell, I am the tall and silent type. LOL!

    WOW!

    Sometimes I think the planet logic is barren of life. LOL. Wow. This work has GREAT appeal. You are a writer who likes "sound" in verse, at least in this one. I loved it. I thought it held more impact too when read aloud. An awesome piece. GOOD MORNING!! Indeed. Well done. ~Pam

    Please don't murder los gerundios. But yes... it is a gran question. Whether to follow one's heart... or to serve the logical sense of self. What seems so stupid will feel so right. But what qualifies your heart to make that decision? It has neither brains, nor logic. It has not the time, nor the strengths to sit and think things through. So how could one trust such a weak and feeble minded organ? It gets you into trouble and your brain must flush out the solution for the pain... yet we continue to believe in that organ as we have faith in the Lord, in society as a whole. All for not... or not? Through the layers of insecurities and pain that my soul has become enwrapped I still have to have faith in the heart... even though it WILL be the death of me.

    Thanks for the thoughts.
    ~Alejandro~

    THis is so beautiful... and just as you had said, should we follow heart or intellect? I can realte totally, which I am sure you know. And I have to agree with you.. It is the heart we must follow.. Through the pain and rain and all of the storms that may come along.. forward we must march behind our heart. And we stand in that frightful rain with our hearts held out to our loved ones... praying that they will take it... This Timothy is the most beautiful poem I have read so far...

    Hmmm, I'm not really sure I understood it! But that's probably because I'm not a very deep person, though I enjoy reading things that are deep! I thought this was deep and had a lot of meaning! But I don't know what the meaning is. This was a really good write and I really enjoyed reading it because it was so good!
    -Love, me

    hehe. that was great, the repetitive use of the suffix "ing" to make the point of reason vs. emotion
