Do I?

Do I inspire you as you do me?

Do I inspire your body to overtake itself,

to go past the hestitancy of touching lips,

to go past the hesitancy of you touching your hands with mine,

so that your body may finally feel the ectasy of mine?

Do I elevate the feelings in your body,

as your body does for me?

Does this elevation make you fever,

like the fever that runs through this dreamer,

this dreamer that dreams of none but you?

Do I make… Continue

Of peace

I dream of the magical paradise of that eve of peace,

in which our souls know the bounty of naught but bliss,

and the blessing of peace is kissed upon our brows,

and the prow of the ship that carries us to this land,

it is inscription of that word called love,

a love bountiful and undiluted,

pure and unpolluted with machinations and unknown sophistications of the mind.

I dream of this paradise as more than a dream,

and I take your hand into the… Continue

Tenderness

Tenderness is what I feel for you,

as I explore every facet of your heart,

through every curve of your body,

my hands roaming,

my mouth moaning in increments of loves magnificence,

that only your moans can impart to me.

Tenderness is what I give you,

as I run my hands through your crown of hair,

that aligns with the crown of your heart,

that crown that crowns the spirit in me,

and leaves my heart feeling most fair.

I re-invent… Continue

THREE POEMS FOR THE STRANGER

ARNA:

Atop great mountain

Hearing a magic song flowing beautifully

from a bamboo flute

rendering supernatural music of a serene heart

Captivated a soul to illuminate

Of a world beyond a universe

An abode for peace

After spiritual journey has reached completion

The palace great walls shall collapse

The empire shall crumble

The kingdom shall shatter

The glorious crown shall… Continue

Half of Rumi Mountain Collect Clouds

Maulana Rumi Mountain collect clouds

Half falls north of Master Izi River

Half falls into student Zuigan Hut

Others may be stuck at Old Temples

Those who fear the Reality will be given knowledge

Do not say I have not warned you

Forest, desert and mountains

They cheat people most time

Or make them fight in politics

A Free Borinquen (~ Poetic Work)

A Free Borinquen

As slow promises of hope are ill,

rainbows cry acid rains of despair

that reach Yahweh's own ear and Will

and from a mountain, with red glair

of outrage, He points and directs my words

in flames, which prophesy, assert and speak,

for the righteous mind and wrath of…

Behind the Poem: Game Theory

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. Back in the Spring of 1980, I graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a B.A. in Mathematics. I chose this discipline because it was my favorite subject in school. This poem is the first and only piece (to date), where I apply this learned knowledge.

Back in February of 2007, I found a poetry contest - its… Continue

Emotional Cremation

~Dark Poetry October~

preparing for the Swedish Castle with tenebrous passion

I spy this nude nymph of darkness inhaling the pustules of warted flesh

dripping from the abscess of romantic pestilence...untamed by mortal man!…

Your Reality Light

You are the shadow when I lift

Up my palm to shield my eyes

From the always vertical sun.

But you are also the light stealing

Into the page of my conscience

When I write of closet secrets

In bony metaphors.

Only lake of purity

catch your reality light

moving waves spreading out

this burning love hidden

in leaves, flowers and dews

What shadow of uncertainty

remains, o my sun of existence

my vision… Continue

Behind the Poem: Spiritual Irony

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I briefly look at the crucifixion of Christ - an event central to the core beliefs of Christianity. This poem was composed in February 2007, in anticipation of that year's celebration of Resurrection Sunday (Easter).

If I were relegated to a single television channel, it would be the "History… Continue

An interview with author J. J. Breunig 3rd

1. What caused you to write a book and have it published?

Thankfully, I’ve enjoyed a career in IT (Information technology) for over 25+ years. However, I’ve been downsized out of a job four times – the last time in 2005, I was unemployed for nine months. During that time, I looked at over 19,000+ companies to find one job. With more jobs in my field being outsourced to lower wage earners overseas, I decided I needed an exit strategy from the corporate world to launch a more stable career… Continue

In Remembrance of Grandma - Poem & Background

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I share the background and poem "In Remembrance of Grandma".

I recognize that most of you reading this article will not know much about my maternal Grandmother, other than what you're able to glean from this page. However, there are universal lessons that need to be shared. This poem was originally… Continue

I left the dream

I left it and watched it,

as it merged and suffused the internal mechanisms of my thought,

and I thought to myself,

"am I my own dream,

or am I the dreamer,

am I the willow that lays wilted in the wind,

or am I the hand that wilts it,

or the mind that wills this so to be?"

I felt the dream,

and left it to its own devices,

hoping that the attitude of love suffices,

to let it unfold into a beautiful dream that will be become soothing… Continue

Her eyes lay before me

Her eyes lay before me in tenderness,

haunted by the befouled strrings of love gone wrong,

her eyes,

they cry at night at the constant falling of her loves moon,

this moon that never seems more than quarter full,

the equinox of unfullfilled love constantly overshadowing her loves dream.

Her eyes lay as a mystery,

a haunt that haunts my soul to the core,

as she looks into my eyes and asks me:

"Who will I find that will adore me,

and… Continue

Picturesque (Sonnet & Painting)

Picturesque

by Sara L. Russell (aka Pinky Andrexa)

I'll paint you in the colours of a day

Rose-madder sunrise, amber, burnished gold;

For nature has no solid black or grey

And colour lets her miracles unfold.

Adored by light, touched by ecstatic air

And on the canvas lend your warming grace;

All subtle shades of skin and tousled hair,

So beautiful in body, soul and face.

I'll paint you in the velvet… Continue

Forgiven

I can feel it in my heart,

as you lay in bed at night,

warm tears rolling down your haunted face,

illuminated by the moonlight,

that tries so desperately to tease your eyes to close,

as you lay there with the burden of the past lain upon your chest,

that puts a fire of sorrow in your breast,

as you feel that your heart

...it is unforgiven,

for all those things it did that may have fallen outside the state of grace,

those events that etched the… Continue

My Ache

My ache,

it is founded,

left unbounded,

in having not found my love,

the love that sets the heart free,

to be heart that feels the ecstatic reverly of loves amorous ectatsy.

My ache,

it is the ache for a body that will lie next to me,

a body born of love and nothing else for me,

a body that shall become merged in singularity with mine,

as propounderance of prosperpine lays upon my brow,

and fields of aphrodite explode in my… Continue

The forest of your love

The forest of your love,

it lies before me,

it stands before my eyes in copses of trees,

that act as your souls spies,

to watch me as I undress,

to reveal my bodies nakedness to you,

to excite you and entice you into the beauty that is the love of you.

The forest of your love,

it shimmers with sunlight between the leaves,

like the sun that shimmers off your mane of hair,

and I toss away the days without a care,

like leaves that are… Continue
