IMMORTALITIES
The bud plucked
while in its deep dream flowering,
casts of virgin fragrance
a nostalgic look.
The vision effaced
while in its sudden dawn revealing,
casts on the fretted screen of slumber
a troubling dream of symbols.
The life smothered
while in its brief breath aspiring,
casts in the Creation’s soul
a maelstrom of wrong.
THE NARCISSUS MOMENT
Amid the mind’s drawn shutters,
in the deep snugness, I sit and watch
the glimmers of my day-shy dreams.
Silence-rapt, I listen in
to the soft flood of feelings
by phantom gates sluiced.
Into a beam of sense composed
I sense my thoughts burgeon
like silent shoots at night.
In that Narcissus Moment, strangers
utter my name, their veils slipping,
and I glimpse of my vastness the Vision.
