The Sea within....2



alexnmoscow.photosight.ru


Oh the turbulence 
of passions within
makes me
fling myself
to the Elements
Rising waves
Clear skies
Let volcanoes erupt
and earth tremble
Let Gods wake up
from their slumber
and hear 
the cacophony of spirits
Enough of order
and of peace.
Let passions play
themselves out
and the flesh regain
its spirit of joy.

The sea within..1



gorynch.photosight.ru



So much contained
so much stirred
from bottom to surface
so much swallowed
of all that drowned
Even death becomes alive
and even the sky wants to
see its own reflection
in this sea that
holds so much 
deep within itself.

When black surrounds
you even
Gray is a ray of hope.
When you pause to
ponder 
your helplessness
that too is help.
When you raise hands
in despair
it is a reminder
of your reserves.
When you remain
silent amid
turbulence
you touch the calm
within -
balm for the soul.

Quandary....6



farnika.photosight.ru

What do I do 
with all my bounty
when all that is
asked of me is
to make pleas for
mercy.
I don't celebrate my
deprivation much 
as you like to
showcase your
generosity.
It's sad you don't
have eyes to
see the bounty
all around
because you are
caught up
in grabbing
and hoarding.
I am not quitting
nor will I join
the naked parade
for glory.

Quandary.....5



farnika.photosight.ru

Life has a way 
of throwing me
in the deadwood
amid termites
But I haven't allowed
them to eat my vitals
For I love my body
and my vulnerability
that comes with it
This is my field
where there is
life sprouting all the while
amid dry leaves
and fallen twigs.



Quandary....4



farnika.photosight.ru

In the dryness 
around me
I now feel
some green trying
to shoot up,
desires gather
into rounded shapes
in my loins
and streams murmur
their readiness to gush
I am hesitant,
to ward off
disappointments,
but what's life
without risking your neck out?

Glowing



zykov.photosight.ru


Before I knew
time flew
and I too,
with spirits soaring
and flesh light
in the freshness
of morning glow.
Everything was
new like the dew
and every moment
was just that -
that moment!
Loved ones
that had long
departed brought
back love into
my heart
that simply overflowed
and I got swept away
with all that was mine.

When I first
realised 
I was living a life
it was spring time
and flowers
had bloomed.
Life was in
weeding out,
watering,
trimming the twigs
bending the branches
so that you win
admiration 
from the world.
Life lies
in being cultivated,
not manufactured
as finished product.
And now my sights
shift beyond plants
to the planet,
the galaxy,
the cosmos.
Life lies in
being sprawling
across the space
not obeying a design
or a diktat.

The Shape ....4



ivanmironov.photosight.ru

I woke up
In the middle 
Of the night
Feeling lighter
And fresh
In the tingling
Flesh
And I couldn't
Put my finger on
What it was
That was blooming
Inside with joy.
I stopped thinking
And just sat still.
Then it dawned:
I had lost
All that was
Clinging.

My world ....3



leetattar.photosight.ru


Crossing over
I thought
Should be easy;
I was leaving behind
Cold, damp deadwood
to go over
to the side of
Bubbling sparkling
Waters of life.
Clouds gathered
From nowhere
And I stopped 
In my tracks.
The cold descended
To envelope all
Including mine -
A world that was
About to begin smiling
Now hope waits
and heart still beats.
