Go with me to the center of the institute
Where poetry represents irrelevance
Intellectual indulgence
Resonant, where culture lives, free speaking alive
Its own reflective larger then life structures
Thought and expressions
Heroic couplets pretentious
Echoes putting ideas to action
Even calm in the way we argue
Claiming voice…rise from trivial tings
Happenstances...
Where e’er you whisper through streams
Embracing romance, past sleep, threading
Thoughtful sounds meaningful, like the voice of reason endlessly
Familiarity connected into sentimental rhyme
Making long fibers of syllables
Heads spinning youthful…smothering alarms
waking in morning with you by my side
Evening wind carries on indefinitely
Nothing like holding your hand in mine
Surrendering to this relaxed migration
In a familiar place, a familiar time
Understanding your smile
And infinite closeness
White circles of silence
Engulf, tying a pure endearing knot
Angels faces smile with sun filled white caps
Like vines engulfing, comforting
There is no dust in the air,
For we learned so see the sea
Along with the mists that rise
Periodically..
If I fail you, please forgive me
We are twins not listening to mocking birds
Strictly experimental, holding on to
A variety of definitions, embracing
Contemporary literature….
