Preface of Unending

For a moment
I consider the quiet power
undemanding, yet unavoidable and intrinsic within your eyes
as they follow that unfathomable path of insight
that leads to the origin of creation
as I would contemplate, perhaps, an entire ocean
beginning to form within a speck of moistened salt
that travelled the air of eons
and thus, the breath of unamed,remote gods
to alight, softly, onto the hand, naturally open
of some unsuspecting, yet very corporeal believer
in dreams that do come true
because they are quite tangible, and not just upon the skin.

This moment
holds secrets, that are not to be pervaded
but simply sensed and imbibed as would be, perhaps
the inception of a star, the first of myriads to burst
even more clusters of more stars, and to expand
the notion of birth of yet another universe
in a sudden brightness, greater than the sun, filling the sky.

Then, the moment
quivers, perceptibly, as a leaf about to turn
all the colours of all summers into the completeness
of all autumns, golden and ripe to drift from the tree of time
and the imponderable seed of an eternity of springs
is this minute spark, suddenly blazing a vastness of blooms
yet to rip the seams of many winters
that your glance in transmutation imbeds, as a gift
within my eyes.

And the awareness of infinity still pulses
beyond the moment, as your eyes turn away
but in fact remain as the primary and ultimate elements
of this and other incessant poems
that my essence, pregnant of you, begins to write
even before the words become images
alive upon the page.
