BETWEEN

The Desire

such sounds strip seemingly
carving cravings
apart aligning above
bitterness below
demands demons devouring
hearts.
apart such cravings bitterness demands.

The Space

the fault line of my mind
the cracked spaces of my heart
the gaping holes of my loves
the distances of my connections
the silences of my thoughts
the separation of my desire
of emptiness the universe
can only be filled
with love

Al Mendoza, 2015

Without a Spider

You see? And there, there are it was. 

Yet, there are not you see.

#poetry #meditation #poets #poems #zen



Like the stadium devotee
The faces of the facing attending
Standing as the settee sitting
A single sound from the whispers now roars
Like a song.

Patched together pounding air
A kaleidoscope of sewn quilts
A uniformed blanket from the patterns
Like a dance.

So here is the coloured music of a symphony
Rolling the ties together a net, a web
We know from our distance there are so many
All like single stitches
Without a spider.

Pins of sound highlighting light
The very sound of it covers as a blanket sewn
Brightness strung together inside of spaces
Netted with hollow places and tied rhythms vibrating Without a theme
Like a storm.

zero is the never knowing 

nothing 

how much is gone 

she wants what she gets

beginning once again

from a plank 

empty

naught are the intimations

vacant 

so full are presence

she desires what she wants

anew in want of renewal

lightly standing 

open

before her always vistas

chasms

free flight in all directions

she possesses in her open embrace

the eternal internal 

on tip toes

leaping

Ssummer's Ssails

mind

sense softer silence

smooth sliding shimmering sails

sweet summer sleet's sprays

body

setting suns solace

shimmering soft sliding sounds

summer's showerings

spirit

sprouts now from within

season's setting summer sun

shades eternity
