Dateless

Dates mean nothing. The poems are just ordered as I please. I believe I still have a mostly accurate account of dates elsewhere.

"Kaleidoscopic"

Kaleidoscopic


While shattering a life into its parts

Rearranging shards through loving arts

Swirling them to view within the eye

Only yours create a breathless sigh

To spin the barrel, gaze through swirling maze

In dizzy wonder cast before my gaze

The colours of the rainbow on display

Of images and sounds and words that play

I thank you for this gift that saw me through

The struggles of revealing something new

-

While  shards of your Kaleidoscope abound

I cannot paint a picture of the sound

The voice rings out, evoking crystals that I spy

Creating spinning whorls before my eye

The spell entwined, coincident with images of you

Begins, again, eruption of the feelings that are due

And now I know I've known it all along

Kaleidoscopic voice that sings the song

Strums the deepest nuance of my heart

The lovely spectral views, its counterpart

-

The lyrics, like the voice that shatters glass

Kaleidoscopic fractals strewn en masse

Another whirlwind always stirring heart

The pieces of the whole that fall apart

Creates the shards of crystals in the eye

So, wondrous and heart-wrenching, do I fly



I'll detail not kaleidoscope revealed so long ago

Moving on to all the other shards of you I know

Each prism on its own that makes my heart careen

Combine in constellation and a panoramic scene

I drift upon the sounds and varied images of view

The sense of life, the soul of love, and peace I touch anew

No more to spout the depths of desperate longing that I strew

Kaleidoscope, a sea of depths beyond a stage review

The violin plays softly on the constellation's stars

Each note performed distinct as sensed in love's harmonic bars


Stained glass is scattered far from window pane

In multi-coloured hues of hurricane

A rainbow in the sky of clouds and rain

Kaleidoscopic symmetries remain

In all directions I still see the same

In symmetries, I recognize a name


Kaleidoscopes expand into cocoon

As growing sense of change is being strewn

In cryptic restlessness, the skies festoon

The butterfly emerges from typhoon

To far horizons, symmetries commune

In cavalcade of stars that sing in tune

All meaning held in phases of the moon

My heart transforms this gentle afternoon
