Forest Primeval

Forest Primeval

As I walk through
this forest realm.

Breathing in
the mellow mist of scents,
the molting leaf, the broken bark
of times past.

My skin breathes in
the cool kiss of morning air.

I exhale breathless,
in the presence,
of such divine beauty.

I reach out to touch
the divinity of life
of this forests sweet soul.

And to my blissful sense
I see the green hue of
Giant living trees.

So tall above the earth
And yet they humbly bow,
To earth in holy intent.

Giving the breath of life,
To this dweller that walks there.

Returning the fragile cool air
To their companion beings.

I humbly accept the kiss of life
From these magnificent
Redwood oracles.
So ancient and wise above all.

In gratitude and love I vow
To protect all life Here.
In this holiest place
Of God's creation.

Land Rape Earth Rape

Who cares what colour your skin
when you land rape earth rape
cut down pristine life giving forest
in the name of corporate profit
leaving but dust legacy mudslides.

Weep child the mighty totara is cut down fallen
no longer forests thick stretching 120 feet high
above dense canopy bird song broadleaf trees
linear sharp pointed leaves dark green-brownish
female totara flowers red swollen nut embedded.

Weep forests are ripped apart globally
who will purchase trees preserve forest

leave tress growing for children to explore
for friends descendants future generations?

Golden Totara your bark pattern is earth skin.

Banquet Of Love

I once heard these words in a song;
'You must remember this...a kiss is
just a kiss...a sigh is just a sigh, ' etc.

With you...nothing...nothing, could be
further from the truth.

Your kiss, is a ride among the stars,
a shower of moon beams and a
sailboat ride, in the Garden Of Eden.

Kissing you...is an out of body experience,
a transport to paradise and a creation
of ultimate passion and joy.

Kissing, every part of who you are, is
truly a banquet of love.

Let me feast of your love and of your lips,
for I am in love with you. Let me always
kiss your mouth...eyes...all of you.

Let us ride the feathers of angels, through
starlit nights-holding...kissing, for now...
and evermore.

Your kiss...touch...embrace, has captured
my heart...my very soul.

I send you this kiss...for the lips
I can not do without.

Forests Of Growing Green Gold

living forests
touristic gold mines
if market mined

diverse flora fauna
sources of memories
seed imaginations

sold not once
as deforestation
but countless

times as living
life tapestries
creative webs

children of forests
bless all eyes all
hearts spirit seen

“weep child
the mighty totara
is (blade) fallen

no longer
forests thick
stretching
120 feet high

above life dense
canopy bird song
broad leaf trees

linear sharp
pointed leaves
(grew) dark
green-brownish

female totara
flowers red swollen
nut embedded”

who will
replant sacred
forests?

who will come
centuries on to
watch totara grow?

living sacred
ancient forest giants
were timber

sold when tourism
was life sustaining
growing green gold

Mystical Nature!

Morning dew glows with the kiss of Sunshine
Awakened by the touch of the rays, grass shine
Beauty so mesmerising, sublime and Divine
As day progresses, mist must become refine

As Night falls, chilling winds bring in dewdrops
Dew again covers all flowers, grass and crops
Waiting for Sun to come and warm the props
Only then, the melting starts and freezing stops

Dewdrops wait for sublimation, Sun waits for the absorption
Merging into each other is a true reflection of Divine Unification
Breeze brings Dew from clouds in Sky onto Earth for Sun, Creation
Life cycle rotates, All Five elements work together to perfection

Cool Nights and Warm Days
Mysterious are Nature's Ways.

Madness of Deforestation

Natures Majestic Trees still, mighty,
Clawed feet grips mother earth deep,
Together holding ground as their own,
Reaching tall breathing out for others life to keep,

Vying for canopy rights, claiming the high blue sky.
Morning sunshine paints its mascara tints,
Shading green, lighting brown glinting green,
A pleasure to see the sea of leafy glints,

Amongst this growing life stands a dead giant
Like a floundering sailing ship in the cruel sea
Now a wonderful perch for the crows choir singing
“NO TREES NO ME, NO TREES NO THEE, ”

Stark dead arms reach out leafless, fingers pointing
Death comes slow to the giant that held the earth together.
Crows cawing out their signature song piercing the silence,
With their timeless silhouettes of black feather.

“Look what do you see besides this dead tree,
Caw caw, caw caw caw!
Uproot them are all for a mirrored vision of thee,
You cannot play with Mother Nature’s law.

After dearth there is no earth!

Forbidden Kiss

The taste still lingers on my lips
I feel it's presence there
A forbidden kiss

A kiss so sweet
And one so pure
This kiss that plays across my lips
One that will linger there
For all eternity

My true love's kiss
His one, his only
His final kiss
That sealed our fates
And claimed his life

A kiss of life
A kiss of death
One kiss
That will last
For all eternity
In death

One forbidden kiss
Of two star crossed lovers
Fated to love
Fated to die

A kiss of light
A kiss of darkness
One of an angel
One of a demon
A sweet, forbidden kiss

An eternal kiss
That seemed to last but a moment in time
One that will haunt me for a life time
A seal of death
A broken heart
All because of
That forbidden kiss...

Life Is Beautiful

Life is a miracle, don’t let it slip away;
Open your heart to others.
Give of yourself each day;
To See the beauty and love in everyone.

Regardless of whom they are and where they’ve been;
Some have difficult journey in life.
And they really need a friend and God;
In times of difficulties and turbulence.

Life is a God’s most beautiful creation;
Life is Good and wonderful;
Life is meaningful and joyful;
Life is fulfillment of God creation.

Life empowers us to live to the fullest;
Life is a blessing from God;
Life is a cycle of living things and living beings;
Eternal Life is a treasure of heaven.

Life is Beautiful;
Beauty of Life;
Wonder of Life;
Life Is Beautiful.

Forest For The Trees

When youre a young man, down and out
You really need someone to help you out
It looks like life or death is your only choice
Its really hard to see
The forest for the trees
The forest for the trees
And when you get angry and everythings black or white
You should know that it isnt that simple, no ones always right
You know that youre life it worth living
You gotta start taking if no one else is giving
And if youre not afraid to open your eyes
You may be pleasantly surprised
Thigs are never as bad as they seem
You just gotta learn to see
The forest for the trees
So if you need somebody, tell them please
If you want someone, get up off your knees
Things are never as bad as they seem
You just gotta learn to see
The forest for the trees

Life To Me

Fleeting breath, frailest flesh
I'm a casualty birth
And so I sink into Your depth
My only place of rest
[refrain]
Where earth and wind and sky and sea
Could never match Your majesty
From where I stand I'm crying out
Jesus, You are life to me
The treachery of valleys deep
Has only made me weak
I clothe this flesh with holiness
My only place of rest
[refrain]
Where earth and wind and sky and sea
Could never match Your majesty
From where I stand I'm crying out
Jesus, You are life to me
And when I see Your face I'll know
All the pain and tears will go
To the bottom of the sea
You'll forever be holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy, holy
[refrain]
Where earth and wind and sky and sea
Could never match Your majesty
From where I stand I'm crying out
Jesus, You are life to me
Holy, holy, holy, holy...
When all is fallen
You are life to me
When all is broken
You are life to me
When all is empty
You are life to me, life to me, life to me
When I am fallen
You are life to me
When I am broken
You are life to me
When I am empty
You are life to me, life to me, life to me
Life to me...

and I wish to kiss every crevice and crack of this beauty land

and gives fruit and life to this silly man
so will my love, and days to walk alone

Keep Your Cool, Baby!

Keep your cool, Baby;
Keep your cool please;
Life is not so simple;
Yet live, we must, in peace.

Keep your cool, Baby;
Take all things with ease;
Life on earth has problems;
And comes too, disease.

Keep your cool, Baby;
Expect the worst things;
Plan your future properly;
All can’t be queens, kings!

Keep your cool, Baby;
Work hard all the time;
Success is not guaranteed,
Like the changing clime.

Keep your cool, Baby;
Be optimistic;
Life has sorrows and joys too,
Making holistic.

Keep your cool, Baby;
Take life as it comes;
Time and tide, awaits no one;
All trees don’t bear plums!

Save Forests and Rare Species

The Franklin forests are extinct;
These trees of beauty are now rare;
No more are they found in the wild;
Their fragrant flowers tempt a child!

Last seen in 18 zero3,
By Altamaha river-side –
A deciduous tree or shrub,
It grows upto a twenty feet.

With leaves that change color by fall,
Its snow-white flowers are showy;
With golden yellow stamens free,
It is now grown in pots from seeds!

But nothing like the forests wild
Of Franklin trees that grew on own;
You could not find a path through them –
Home to wild animals many.

How Nature rears a forest dense!
–The secrets, no man deciphers;
The way they flourish in the wild,
No gardener can do like-wise!

As man destroys more forest trees,
For want of newer farming land,
Wild wondrous trees then cease to be,
And other species vanish too.

Deforestation is a crime
That has gone uncontrolled with time;
Rare species of trees, shrubs and beasts
Have been effaced from earth with ease.

The earth has lesser green cover!
’Tis growing bald, much more each day,
As forest trees are felled for wood,
At rates more than we ever should.

World’s rain-forests are turning scarce –
A cause of global-warming fast;
Landslides and floods are dangers new;
More species turn something of past!

Trees extract carbon-dioxide,
And make the air less polluted;
Wild beasts are on the rampage when
Their forest habitats are gone.

Save forests and afforest, man;
The clouds bring rain when trees ask for;
Wild beasts need forests for their homes;
Preserve forests in ways you can.

Silences Speak In My Soul

how can I tell you
of the silences
that speak to me
that I reach out

to touch in moments
stretching back to
inspiration of creation
I feel speak in my soul

unique in my stillness
witnessing one vast smile
as whole universe shines
in God’s creative smile

creation comes upon me
creation is all within me
creation infuses my being
creation is sea of awareness

no thoughts form into words
imagery is words within soul
no noise forms into fleet sound
voice spoke creation into being

thoughts wash over my soul
behold creation in appreciation
perceived in stillness attained
God speaks infuses my brain

behold felt essence of life is laden
within love which birthed creation
I reach out touch recipe of gift life
love embraces lungs touch breath air

alertness is alive creation perceives
life is breath breathed into life being
awareness perceives in complexities
multiple lifeforms perceive creation

all life is one life linked in earth biosphere
all earth’s surface abounds in life lease
atmosphere sea abound in one life lease
across eons interwoven creation breathe

ingenious species fail extinct in man greed
independent species erased link cut expire
independent species disappear into oblivion
earth rape accelerates inducing earth death

hear silences as forest loses thrill bird song
hear silences as animals decrease fade extinct
hear silences as rivers seas empty of fish stock
hear silences as plant diversity waxes withers

one life lessens weakens as strand by strand
man unravels woven fabric in sustaining life
dispossessed bear witness speak of earth rape
God holds seeds of immortal souls to replant

a new heaven new earth is written into universe
place is prepared for judgement awaiting souls
to be released into reseeded new perfect creation
silences speak of places dark souls will be bound

'infinity pauses
momentarily passes'
brief cosmic moment
universal restoration

Kiss Of Life

Never more aware of what you do
I got you leavin' me and missing you
And me believing that you've never done right
When you've never done wrong

You been comin' to me late at night
It's not the eye alone that gives you sight
I've never given anybody my soul
But I'm coming undone

I'm a survivor but I'm reaching my low
But I'm not ready to die

I'm here for the kiss of life
I'm here for the kiss of life
Just give me the kiss of life

Watch them hold you
Count their faces
A never-ending line
But they're only imitations
Existing out of time

So now you're telling me it's just a ring
You say it's nothing but it's everything
I'm under pressure and I'm under
Your gun and I'm fingers and thumbs

You got the questions and the answers
I know
I'm being buried alive

I'm here for the kiss of life
I'm here for the kiss of life
Just give me the kiss of life

I can't stay here
Lost without you
Strangers in the dark
Holyangel
Living for you
To love and never cry

I'm a survivor but I'm reaching my low
But I'm not ready to die

I'm here for the kiss of life
I'm here for the kiss of life
Just give me the kiss of life

Cycles Of Light

For just a little longer
reside I in a familiar
foreign land of human
resource grabbing aspirations,

as I write
out last
dreamscapes,

praising
pristine forest
beauty in call
of conservation,

as land rape
earth rape
swift plunder
reap

human
potentialities
destinies.

The Totara spirit
stands in native forest,
forgotten
in termite cities,

unadored unfelt
unknown unthought
of unseen unappreciated

from birth
earth
forest floor,

spirit guardian
last
to kiss sunset

yellow golden
dusk
eclipse rays,

first
to welcome
embrace

creeping
golden
fingers
of dawn light,

where will
your flesh skin
bark reside
tomorrow,

for if mighty
Totara falls
who will sentential

greet honour
glory life

If I Kiss You

Why waste your life for a long lost love?
Why waste your pretty smile -
even the spring upon the ancient skies
would never walk that mile.

Why waste your time remembering,
reviving what was past?
Why waste your pretty lips unkissed-
Can I kiss you then at last?

If I kiss you, would your eyes lose their coldness,
would your stone heart melt away?
If I kiss you with my soul upon my eager lips...
would I sweep your heart away?

If I touch your lips with my lips,
would you kiss me in return-
or tell me that there are no sparks
as stars don't give their own.

If I press your lips upon my own,
would you then forget his name?
Oh, why waste your life in nothing...
let me kiss you all my days!
