i.
Life breathes
and takes this breath away
leaves the pi of distance
between fleeting moments
a rainbow arc hangs in the balance
whispering to my presence
You pour into me
Your love
I take another breath.
ii.
I fell in love with a poet
once,
rather I fell across his words
together
we formed a cross
to which I was nailed like a jewel fish,
silently, I took extreme measures
of my own,
I practiced austerity
and wrote poems under water.
iii.
there is a resemblance
that bears fruit
we bite into passages
mule-headed into the daylight
poems and poets locked in battle
with a band of angels
bright swords lifted like hymns
like prayers.

Hi Raj,
Hi Raj,
pi = 3.14159265......
π (sometimes written pi) is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter.

diving
the crisp surface
alive
firing the liquid dance
mesmerizing me
that lull
I remember poetry when exhausted
the pages dog eared
the copy tattered
slipping into dreams
and catching voices
remembering eclipses
this is a beautiful Poem
from a beautiful pen
Im tired and exhausted
and these words youve
writ are like a soothing
song
