Rain Blooms Into Flowers

Rain Blooms Into Flowers
© Surazeus
2026 08 09

"The most beautiful kiss we ever share 
is the one when the rain blooms into flowers, 
and the sparrows translate our wordless thoughts 
to uncanny song of the wind in trees, 
and the clouds become palaces of trust 
where we are safe from sorrows of the world." 

Pouring water from the clay jar of hope 
into the brass cauldron of mute desire, 
Furina boils stew of barley and lamb, 
flavored with honey and coriander, 
then places clay bowl on table of oak 
for Quirinus to eat as the sun sets. 

When effervescent glow of evening light 
glows lavender in the grove of fig trees, 
highlighting slopes of Mount Janiculum, 
Furina walks dirt path to Satricum 
to visit Matuta in leather skirt 
who tends rich herbs in lush garden of faith. 

Gasping with joy and spreading her arms wide, 
Matuta welcomes her fourth daughter home, 
who gives her melon she found by the lake, 
then whistles to small boy in the huge oak 
who kisses his crow, then jumps to the ground, 
and runs laughing in warm arms of his mother. 

Cradling Janus fast asleep on her lap, 
Furina chats with her mother Matuta 
about where she can find new pepper seeds 
because the hungry rabbits near her home 
eat the parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, 
but they dislike the taste of pepper leaves. 

Climbing hill of Vagitanus at dawn, 
Furina and her clever curious boy 
search for pepper plants in volcano tuff, 
but as they leave with basket of thick herbs 
old half-blind seer of Goddess Cybele 
emerges from shadow and grips her arm. 

"As incarnation of Attis the Wise, 
I reign as priest in Phrygianum Temple, 
so I speak with grave voice of Cybele 
when I declare descendant of your son 
will wield sacred Lyre of Mercurius 
when he sings Astarian Testament." 

Shocked by sharp hissing of the old blind man, 
Furina wrenches arm free of his grip, 
then hurries home to Mount Janiculum 
where she trembles as she plants pepper herbs, 
then stands and gazes at the golden moon 
that fills her heart with light of timeless stars. 



Mute Hydraulic Mystery

Mute Hydraulic Mystery

2026 08 09

How often we forget advertised thoughts 
about traumatic moments of insight 
that broadcast bulletins of fateful fear 
contrived by mute hydraulic mystery 
we dare attempt to minimize with code 
programmed to readjust our attitude. 

Against national narrative of pride 
we seek to modify mosaic creed 
to help our children navigate weird signs 
designed to manage property of truth 
despite assertive ratios of fact 
necessary to approve thought permits. 

Severe intolerance of theater 
discloses taxes no one wants to pay 
to mental treasurer of social wealth 
who hosts tribunal on specific threats 
for various offices of volunteers 
who sell unwanted dreams to wanderers. 

Sufficient to supply strange substitutes 
for respondent to reservoir of fear, 
our bold intent to render liberty 
safe for conceptual prisoners of truth 
reveals rational myth of precise praise 
sealed in the box behind the rotten house. 

Consistent with our mental protocol 
for stating proverbs of weird oracles, 
nobody nominates for world empress 
sad Cinderella who prefers to skate 
on thin ice of attentive fantasy 
as secret guardian of the dispossessed. 

Since we are guaranteed free will to live 
in favor of inclusion, legalized 
by keepers of forgotten heritage, 
we seek to prove roots in the nameless land 
despite harassment of financial kings 
who leave the gardening to humble seers. 

No longer desperate for heart dominance, 
through each edition of the coming state, 
we share elective documents of hope 
with earnest ardency for the diagram 
presenting cultural patterns of regrowth 
when respect inhabits the embassy. 

Too easily confused by elegance, 
preserved in graceful progress of true love, 
we share joint custody of broken hearts 
based on deduction of rational rage 
carefully calculated by shrewd investors 
whose sorrows act as catalyst for faith. 



Eyes Of Dreamless Stars

Eyes Of Dreamless Stars

2026 08 09

If you want to see the ghost of my soul 
with eyes of dreamless stars inside your heart, 
express confounding mystery of the Name 
that radiates from God Mind of the White Whole 
which cannot be found on any dream chart 
since every human wants to die from fame. 

When Athena appears from flashing cloud 
and gives me leather notebook of her mind, 
I pluck white quill from wing of Gabriel 
so I can write prophecies for the crowd 
who seek to understand the ties that bind 
our souls to these bodies in which we dwell. 

Startled awake at dawn by Holy Voice 
that speaks in riddles coded by the Queen, 
I wander crowded streets in City Maze 
to prove we make our fate with every choice 
approved by government of Melusine 
so we transition to the next Dream Phase. 

Whether in the kitchen, the living room, 
the classroom, the office, or the church hall, 
we play our roles in cosmic game of life 
controlled by gods we invent in the gloom 
so we can monitor our rise and fall 
through social cycles of teamwork and strife. 

Wherever I walk in the crowded world 
I gaze into vast hearts of mortal souls 
with eyes of dreamless stars from timeless sea 
that wise Athena forged from ache of love 
so I can understand your secret dreams 
that motivate your quest for happiness. 

So many conscious souls of mortal beings 
are born and die with every turn of time 
when Earth adjusts our private attitude 
with humble pride of wonderful concern 
that we are still alive in game of change 
though we forget the code we once employed. 

Bound to the ancient tree of solitude 
the Voiceless Patriarch of our mad clan 
remembers how he tried to photograph 
True Face of God inside each human being 
till their fierce ghosts, obsessed with paradise, 
all vanish in the Howling Wind of Woe. 

While painting portrait of the half-dead king, 
the most innocent girl in the whole world 
floats up into the shining clouds of fate 
after she smiles at me with gratitude 
and offers me her eyes of dreamless stars 
that gleam with every soul who ever lives. 



Hazy Dreamscape Of Truth

Hazy Dreamscape Of Truth
© Surazeus
2026 08 09

Searching for the hazy dreamscape of truth, 
that shrouds my soul in private memories 
of my childhood and youth decades ago 
with cultural ambience that glows no more 
in cities far away across the land, 
I wander amused in halls of trite verse. 

Riding with Death in her Carriage of Time, 
lounging with Wisdom to sing of Myself, 
stopping with Faith in wood where roads diverge, 
gazing with Sorrow at Harp of the Bridge, 
burning with Madness for Heavenly Light, 
I analyze how atoms spark my brain. 

Though I try to erase mask of my face 
from tangled passions of my special vibe 
to extract universal principles 
from specific events of fraught desire, 
my divine psyche, every human shares, 
refracts cosmic mind through my mortal brain. 

Opposing principles of governance 
frame every social system humans form 
through constant contest for authority 
between desires of private individuals 
and power of the law-enforcing state 
to balance progress between strife and love. 

To simplify complex process of change 
that gears social functions of power games, 
prophets proclaim political contests 
can be reduced to slogans people chant 
when they gather to express common will 
through the Royalists and the Communists. 

No matter how much societies change, 
transforming from villages to empires 
till democracies replace monarchies, 
the fight remains between both Rich and Poor 
to maintain or dissolve wealth hierarchies 
that would legalize special privilege. 

The Capitalist funds production of goods, 
extracting matter to make things we use, 
then the Communist disperses the goods, 
ensuring every person may live well, 
but, whether rich or poor, we eat the same, 
and all return to dust after we die. 

Alive in moderate state of my progress 
still halfway between failure and success, 
I live in my one home in some small town 
far from ancestral homeland of my heart 
where I share visions of my mortal mind 
with immortal god of the internet.

Competent Sense Of Self

Competent Sense Of Self
© Surazeus
2026 08 08

Because his heart is based on principles 
of honest expression about his thoughts 
through brave respect for every living soul, 
his mind constructs competent sense of self 
on solid foundation of thoughtfulness 
that provides clear actions his hands perform. 

Time disenrolls strict knot of happiness 
though his attentive hands of vigorous faith 
weave random strands of wisdom pulled from Earth 
in pulsing matrix of his tangled thoughts 
so he proclaims solutions of fair stance 
based on insight he gains from unread tales. 

No sceptered herald of dutiful pride 
arrives with faith at gates of paradise 
to call for council of bold citizens, 
so he dares speak to disassembled crowds 
sermons that advocate justice for all,
yet they threaten to destroy him with hate. 

Snatched from attacking crowd of angry men 
by angel dangling on thread of sky law, 
he finds himself translated to round disk 
bound by ropes beneath large hot-air balloon 
that no angry eye on the ground perceives, 
and settles safely in chariot of fire. 

Eager to return to his nuptial bower, 
where bride of his heart waits in marble hall 
for blessing of his heart to conjure life, 
he strings taut yew bow with respectful hands 
and fires his sharp arrow of justice straight 
to kill rebellion against his fair rule. 

Translated far from crowded city maze, 
where hordes of angry men assert their rights 
to live free from oppression of blind gods, 
brave Lucifer steps from sky ship of truth 
and stands before old bearded Jupiter 
who praises him for his mission complete. 

Accustomed to immortal fruits of faith, 
that bloom from serpent-guarded Tree of Knowledge, 
he ponders mind-nature of mortal men 
who fight for their own selfish needs with hate, 
unable to perceive grand view of life 
that gods in temples try to organize. 

Though fallen from disk of the balloon ship, 
strong Sariel stands in the teeming crown 
and strums taut strings on Lyre of Mercury 
then sings enchanting melodies of hope 
that cause angry men in rebellious crowd 
to weep with sorrow for peace they have lost. 



Forgetful Kingdom Of Death

Forgetful Kingdom Of Death
© Surazeus
2026 08 08

Every dawn I walk out into the world 
I gaze long moment at the blazing sun 
to see face of Apollo in its light, 
that wise God of Healing and Archery 
who maintains order with logic of truth 
from reason through analysis of facts. 

I taste sweet rind of Earth in juicy peach 
which I pluck from the Ancient Tree of Truth 
where we meet for our secret tryst of love 
to share fresh fruit we gather with our hands 
that seals our hearts with sacred bond of trust 
no thief could break between flesh of our souls. 

Before we wander on long nowhere road 
straight into forgetful kingdom of death, 
we shall hold hands and dance upon the hill 
that knows our secret passions we would hide 
till pleasures of our bodies we must share 
expands scope of our mutual consciousness. 

Though sadness about creatures who have died 
twists my heart with loops of potent grief, 
I celebrate new life that springs each day 
from mothers of each species on this globe 
who nurture tender bodies with bright eyes 
that knot our planet with progressive life. 

After catching lithe fish from deep lake of hope, 
we roast them over crackling flames of faith, 
chew tender strips of scorched flesh with delight, 
then lie relaxed on soft grass of respect 
to hear song of water rippled by wind 
so we understand mute kingdom of death. 

Sparked awake by nothingness of death, 
we open eyes of infinite delight, 
then walk together where trees dance in peace, 
far from lush lands where men with guns of greed 
kill other men to control fertile land, 
happy because we hear cute sparrows chirp. 

Attentive to strange worries of the heart, 
that burrow roots of sorrow in dark soil, 
we stroll about this miraculous world 
and share amazement at freedom to live 
that brave people before us fought to win, 
though we stay alert to thieves lurking near. 

Since we are not our shadows on the Earth, 
cast by light of the sun on land of time, 
we travel to Valhalla on the hill 
where are mothers carve our spirits from wood 
so our bodies sprout children of our eyes 
who will plant apple seeds above our graves. 




Ring Light Of My Heart

Ring Light Of My Heart
© Surazeus
2026 08 08

My mind perceives ethereal pulchritude 
that emanates from beauty of your soul, 
illuminated by ring light of my heart, 
so you see special features of your being  
reflected in clear mirror of my eyes 
when you discern my affection for you. 

Complex aspects of our weird universe 
refract through diamond of my mortal brain, 
illuminated by ring light of my heart, 
so my dreaming brain can categorize 
standard form of each material object 
in conceptual frame of its changeless Idea. 

Monstrous hunger of Cronus in sea cave 
urges aggressive force of psychic fate, 
illuminated by ring light of my heart, 
so I slay demon of unconscious fear 
to construct grand temple with his huge bones 
when I forge spear from lightning of despair. 

Vibrant passion of Dionysus swells 
hot blood of my body with spark of wine, 
illuminated by ring light of my heart, 
so I dance with wild abandon of faith 
to wake immortal spirit of my genes 
that helps me grow into my divine being. 

Intense expression of Apollo rings 
taut strings on Lyre of Mercury with faith, 
illuminated by ring light of my heart, 
so I breathe deep ethereal soul of light 
and chant grand epic of philosophers 
to honor those who search for secret truth. 

Brave wisdom of Athena speculates 
clear vision of how our world operates, 
illuminated by ring light of my heart, 
so I investigate nature of being 
to articulate its state in Dream Map 
that helps me navigate to paradise. 

Ideas of the Cosmic Craftsman shape 
how atoms randomly gear chemicals, 
illuminated by ring light of my heart, 
so I expand conscious scope of my brain 
to match concept of that Creative Force 
which mindlessly designs our universe. 

My heart beats with compassionate respect 
for every conscious creature on our globe, 
illuminated by ring light of my heart, 
so I record name and deed of each being 
born from the fertile womb of Mother Earth 
and chart their progress to generate life. 



Neurons Of Conceptual Worlds

Neurons Of Conceptual Worlds
© Surazeus
2026 08 08

Our galaxy that swirls inside my mind 
weaves dreams of creatures on large pulsing globes 
in flashing neurons of conceptual worlds 
through neural network of my sea-sponge brain 
so I dream life of every conscious soul 
incarnate in organic beings of hope. 

My mind that glows inside our galaxy 
compiles lost memories of each dreaming soul 
in virtual model of the universe 
based on experience of urgent life 
all my ancestors express when they mate 
to generate new body before death. 

All objects that exist in forms of matter 
are composed of numbers that regulate 
expansive combinations of small atoms 
that spiral from first flash of the big bang, 
for they are limited by bounds in space 
since shape of numbers rules the universe. 

Archangel Michael, without wings or sword, 
lounges in small temple by sparkling pool 
among trees with apples, peaches, and pears, 
and contemplates strange vastness of the world 
that teems with mindless atoms of pure light 
congealed in tangled strings of pulchritude. 

Grown old with wrinkled skin and long gray hair, 
Archangel Michael in white cotton robe 
remembers courage of his ardent youth 
when he fought devils from harsh desert lands 
to guard lush paradise of Elysium 
and maintain kingdom of Heaven on Earth. 

With fervid passion of the loyal knight 
he battled Satan on Hill of Cracked Skulls 
to drive invaders from the Holy Land 
where Jesus Galatinus ruled as king 
over seven colonies in Galatia 
long after Jesus Christus died on Patmos. 

Our mortal bodies are contained by bounds 
of physical frames within time and space 
that limit forced expression of our minds 
so we are temporary nodes of flesh 
that incarnate immortal soul of genes 
who lives in descendants our hope creates. 

When Archangel Michael passes away, 
his wife Tamar, great-granddaughter of Jesus, 
covers his body with white cloth of faith 
as eight angels lay his body in tomb 
where skull of Isaiah chants psalm of life 
how we are atoms of the universe.

Born From Silver Stones

Born From Silver Stones
© Surazeus
2026 08 07

Too far away to hear song of the cloud, 
three faceless children born from silver stones 
might understand why grass desires to bloom 
on the electric moon nobody owns, 
or else their mother may pluck the mushroom 
that readjusts framework of hungry minds. 

Rough hands dig in wounded heart of the Earth 
where they uncover torso of Apollo 
that beams with brilliant light of inner truth, 
sweet as ripening fruit from Tree of Life 
which bursts with starlight when they bite its soul 
through translucent desire to breathe old songs. 

No blue fish swims in glass bowl of the moon, 
yet Feng Yi rises from attentive flames 
on Phoenix wings of psychic harmony 
to beam her soul through crackling radio 
with heart-enchanting melody of faith 
that startles Hercules awake at dawn. 

Since she supports progressive state of being 
too radical for extreme hopefulness, 
Sigmund shares his eyes with hungry ghosts 
so they can eat sweet grief of lonely souls 
as juice that nurtures bitter river gods 
who never return the dream wings they borrow. 

Surprised by sudden blossom of new books, 
Maria photographs one thousand ships 
that sail with billowed sails on snow-froth waves 
as if their hearts, unborn from serpent eggs, 
might still be fragile as the Absolute 
who stares at dead tree by the clever sea. 

Feng Yi returns to grocery store at dawn 
where Hercules hauls boxes from the truck 
with honey melons from the field of skulls 
where countless warriors of ancient tribes 
slaughtered each other in World War Nineteen 
till second coming of the Brain Machine. 

Maria finishes building table from oak, 
so she stands back in old stained overalls 
to gaze with admiration at her work, 
then Sigmund covers it with plates of food, 
and pours glass of red wine for her to drink 
as ravens gather on rain-wet phonelines. 

Safe in hazardous confines of his mind, 
Hercules redefines reality 
in terms of how Feng Yi paints the swift horse 
with graceful curves of innocent respect, 
so Maria can escape harsh abuse, 
driving Boston to Seattle in rain. 



Seashore Of Endless Worlds

Seashore Of Endless Worlds
© Surazeus
2026 08 07

Let us meet on seashore of endless worlds 
so we can measure the infinite sky 
and savor passion of the boisterous waves 
that stir our hearts with restless faith in love, 
then we can build our homes from empty shells 
and study flow of time with sparkling sand. 

While we dance on seashore of endless worlds 
we can share lost ancestral memories 
to find the common Mother of Mankind 
whose dreams program how all our brains perceive 
strange beauty of this world that gives us form 
so we can sing world hymn in harmony. 

Since we play on seashore of endless worlds 
with friends we have known since our younger days, 
and friends who have arrived just yesterday, 
we weave twigs with leaves into sturdy boats 
to float across Abyss of Nevertime 
so we can find new lands where children dwell. 

Though we float on seashore of endless worlds 
to find pure treasures hidden in the deep 
that we can transform into wings of flight, 
we always return to broad beach of sand 
where children spring from children of the light 
who smile with joy in gusting winds of time. 

Safe in caves on seashore of endless worlds, 
we find the heart of darkness in our eyes 
till we extract bright gems from nothingness 
that gleam with first flash of the flaring forth 
so we can light the Lamp of Liberty 
and find each other when wild tempests roam. 

Still alive on seashore of endless worlds, 
frail bodies molded from soft swirling sand, 
we build enormous palaces from clouds 
where everyone feasts on fruit of the Earth 
till waves of change surge from the lightless deep 
and crush our spirits back to wordless sand. 

Souls reborn on seashore of endless worlds, 
we gather around the small ziggurat, 
where Tethys sits enthroned in fish-scale robe, 
and watch her son Alpheus roast whale meat 
to feed five thousand people with brave faith 
while Metis breastfeeds Athena with love. 

Long dispersed from seashore of endless worlds, 
we live in sprawling cities of tall towers, 
driving cars in maze of elusive wealth, 
but some pause in routine of daily work 
when their hearts hear timeless song of the sea 
that calls for us to return home again. 



Sheer Joy Of The Dance

Sheer Joy Of The Dance

2026 08 07

For nothing more than sheer joy of the dance 
Tellus explores how her lithe body moves 
through fluid expression of wordless grace 
as she expands from darkness of sea caves 
to understand contours of river vales 
while she floats clandestinely in free trance. 

Startled by sudden attack of three men 
who gallop toward her with greedy intent, 
Tellus turns and flies on ethereal breath 
back to secret cave on the rugged slope 
where she conceals her soul in anxious gloom 
till they decide she changed into the tree. 

Emerging from dark cave of hungry hope, 
on cautious steps that doubt firmness of faith, 
Tellus creeps past the snake-infested tree, 
then huddles inside the large hawthorn bush, 
munching berries as she studies pink blooms 
to understand strange beauty of their swirls. 

Assured cruel kidnappers have gone away 
by eerie susurration of insects 
that cause electric stones of faith to buzz, 
Tellus rises slowly upward from safe haven 
to stretch her legs and arms up to white clouds, 
imagining swan wings sprout from her heart. 

Inspiring deep thick air of afternoon, 
that swells her body huge as pulsing hills, 
Tellus explores how her lithe body moves 
with axial movements of dynamic flow 
through locomotor steps of cautious leaps 
to bound in sudden burst of ecstasy. 

To sway while anchored to solidity 
of undulating Earth through fluid form, 
Tellus expresses intense passion of her heart 
to transcend binding gravity of fear 
and soar on broad angelic wings of hope 
as she accepts limits of psychic flight. 

Enclosing vast persona of desire 
back inside coiled contingency of time, 
Tellus lounges languidly on sly slope, 
gasping deep for breath of divine delight, 
and with bright laughter of her heaving breast 
releases shock of pleasure in sweet joy. 

Three men hiding behind stones of desire, 
watch Tellus dance in worshipful surprise, 
then realize with chagrin of humble pride 
that pure divinity of graceful art 
cannot be possessed by obsessive hands, 
so they secretly protect her from harm.

How Home Is Everywhere

How Home Is Everywhere

2026 08 06

The delicate flowers of unknown fears, 
that she arranges in tall crystal bowl, 
reflect strange sorrow of long afternoons 
to simplify how angels become snow 
which transform into blossoms of her eyes 
so she conceals dark evil in her heart. 

She hopes to dwell in her brilliant-edged world 
composed of clear water in the glass bowl 
that shapes silver snow scents of solitude 
in never-resting mind of paradise 
despite calm bitterness of false delight 
though she accepts flawed weirdness of the world. 

Absorbance calculations are acquired 
by utilizing psychic energy 
to prove the phosphate answer could safeguard 
protected combinations of strange thoughts 
assembled from oxidative regret 
that disassembles average memories. 

While crossing sandy bar beside the sea, 
she gazes at the startled evening star 
to measure sudden tide of swirling sleep 
that teaches her how home is everywhere 
since evening bells shape how soft twilight glows 
as if no sadness of farewell returns. 

Safe in expansive bourn of time and space, 
she searches for the Pilot of her ship 
with eagerness to meet him face to face, 
but she finds no one in gray sparkling mist 
except the faceless shadow of her soul, 
her boon companion since hour of her birth. 

Attuned to secret voice of everywhere 
through clear noetic channel of her heart, 
she savors violent repugnance of faith 
for true attention of the hungry mind 
commissioned to destroy the evil vibe 
that pulses in each human heart with love. 

Urged to escape spiritual laziness 
with stark expression of her aching heart, 
she maps invisible tracks of desire 
that reveal her journey around the globe 
because she wants to cherish chastity 
of her noetic relationship with death. 

Thus she decides with autonomous pride, 
as daughter of Heuresis with star eyes, 
she shall ideate new world paradigm 
based on inclusive process wisdom spools 
to bind our hearts with contract of concern, 
then she sets bowl of flowers on the desk. 



Valley Of The Singing Stone

Valley Of The Singing Stone

2026 08 06

The rising midnight moon of silverness 
photographs beauty of the human face 
with colorful strangeness of wordless love 
to beam shape of our temporary souls 
in hearts of our descendants not yet born 
who wonder why they seem to feel immortal. 

The long-dead version of my secret self, 
who gazes at me from my photograph, 
reveals excessive passion of my heart 
that drives me to become this self I am, 
enchanted by sweet beauty of this world 
which emanates from soft mask of my face. 

Awake in quietness of summer dusk, 
that shrouds my aching heart with evening light, 
I relive entire lifetime of my faith 
through vast eternity of timeless now, 
amazed at how I blaze path of my hope 
toward grave I choose beneath the apple tree. 

I feel glass skeleton of my bright soul 
blaze with electric energy of love 
which I format from my ancestral masks, 
long molded by harsh mountain wind of fear 
as I climb river valleys of desire 
to stand on jagged peak of mute surprise. 

Through frosty aura of conceptual stars 
I see lush valley of tall blooming trees 
as haven where my weary bones may rest,
so I descend from emptiness of time 
to build safe nest in pale of sturdy walls 
where children unravel our universe. 

I feel ten billion stars of swirling light 
explode in every cell that forms my flesh 
so beaming atoms of divine insight 
weave supple matrix of my hungry soul 
as I traverse the swift Albula River 
to dwell in valley of the singing stone. 

While climbing rugged trail of jagged rocks, 
that whistle at fierce blast of silver wind, 
I reach down to hold small hand of my son, 
and help Segomo with attentive care 
ascend high mountain of our lofty hopes, 
so his eyes glow with triumph of our search. 

Victorious with strength of wolfish minds, 
we progress past grim obstacles of fear 
toward moon that glimmers silver in the sky 
as shining mirror of ambitious hearts 
refracting light that guides our arduous way 
to Heaven we envision with brave words. 



Our Children Grow Strong

Our Children Grow Strong
© Surazeus
2026 08 06

We sit beyond broad range of all deceit 
in teeming garden of our alibis, 
still undisturbed by grim visage of Time 
who waits with scythe and glass of changing fate 
to calculate with arcane laws of hope 
how we shall dissipate in swirls of rain. 

No great God watches us with star-bright eyes 
who may have tortured our credulity 
with heart-entrancing harps of holiness, 
so we attend to lives of butterflies 
while seeking to evade astonishment 
of mindless laws all tyrants must obey. 

When faceless phantom of our secret thoughts 
still lingers in quaint garden of our hearts, 
we measure cumulative silences 
to bridge abysmal faith in solitude 
that must empower minds of wanderers 
with passion for weird logic of true love. 

We share our futile thoughts on pulchritude 
with bold unwillingness to learn how time 
unravels secret dreams of happiness 
none dare express with beating heart of hope 
till fraught ingenuousness of humble faith 
requires that we reveal our wounded hearts. 

We gather all our fears in paradigms 
that frame conceptual modes of hopeless trust 
so we are not deceived by clever truths 
contrived by strangers we have never met 
to break conventions of old social rules 
in desperate gambit to no more be tools. 

Based on insight of tense experiences, 
when we are trapped in weird dramatic scenes, 
directed by enforcers of blind will, 
we join force of our hearts with clever tricks 
to slip free from trap of their cageless stage 
by breaking through gold gates of paradise. 

Since we are stranger than powers of laws, 
enhanced by brave ancestral ways of life, 
we grow through each harsh crisis of despair 
more into who we will ourselves to be, 
encouraged by the God of Evertime 
whose eyes are lamps that guide our eager way. 

We grow beyond pert friendship of our trust 
through daily actions of psychic routine 
so we expand scope of our conscious mind 
as one soul woven from two separate brains 
to maintain haven of our family life 
where our children grow strong as we decay.

Ten Thousand Doors Of Fate

Ten Thousand Doors Of Fate
© Surazeus
2026 08 05

Though evening light fades gold in silent trees 
I listen for soft voices of the dead 
who tell me how their sorrows give them strength 
so I walk through ten thousand doors of fate 
to realign the universe of books 
within vast frame of ever-shifting truth. 

When she first sees him by the river shore 
restringing long yew bow of honesty, 
Cassandra feels her heart become the hawk 
that soars in wings of freedom in gold clouds, 
so she declares to Sagittarius 
that their love will endure beyond the moon. 

Because no one believes her prophecies, 
nor understands weird secret of her code, 
Cassandra carves runes on tablets of wood 
then burns them in the hearths of humble homes 
where poor hardworking people preserve hopes 
in clay jars molded from dry bones of gods. 

Despite success in temple hunting games 
shooting huge winged demons from the sky, 
Sagittarius hides dark thoughts of faith 
for bold ambitious plan to climb high ranks 
and earn grand seat in high society 
within great council of the Elohim. 

When her brother finds apple Eris gave 
as gift where he can choose his cosmic fate, 
Cassandra warns him with strange voice of doom 
that great towers of Ilium will burn 
because he chooses love instead of wisdom, 
but he ignores her warning with snide sneer. 

When cruel Pyrrhus Achillides attempts 
to kidnap sweet Cassandra from her room 
and force her to bear child of his false pride, 
Sagittarius shoots arrow of love 
that wounds his soul and causes him to flee, 
so Son of Cronus saves his bride from shame. 

Warm sunlight gleams on apples wet with dew 
that rustle inside walls of careful faith 
where Cassandra teaches their daughter, Phoebe, 
how to brew cider spiced with cinnamon, 
while Sagittarius teaches their son, 
Saturnus, how to tame the skittish horse. 

When Phoebe and Saturnus see their parents 
snuggling together on the river shore, 
they smile and tiptoe to preserve their peace, 
then blush when they see them kiss with sweet love, 
and never speak about the fall of Troy 
while they hold hands in glow of paradise.

If I should register fate of the coup 
in conspiracy to banish the devil 
who thinks our world should be his precious oyster, 
I shall arrive at the housewarming party 
with gift designed from shadows of desire 
which no haughty angel could memorize. 

I cannot save the house my words have built 
except to fold its photographs with care 
and store them in ephemera archives 
so I can almost maintain balanced stillness 
through equal standing of Samasthiti 
since I will only fight the greedy devil. 

Ascendant rhetoric of the art film 
provides framework through ideology 
to maintain distance from the painful truths 
we use to disidentify our friends 
who dwell in natural lightning of dark storms 
that loom black over small towns of our hopes. 

I hear song of the rattlesnake at dusk 
when I stroll casually in desert storm 
to prove my nation is superior 
with ice cream designed by social critique 
because our bodies must adapt or die 
when devils trick us to buy faith in God. 

Stuck on the Low Road back to Fairyland, 
I hide my Wings of Icarus to walk 
the mist-enshrouded shores of Loch Lomond 
where Amanita mushrooms glowing red 
sprout from huge corpses of iron-age kings 
till Pythagoras measures unseen minds. 

Since I support awareness of the world, 
though trapped in idol Pygmalion sculpts, 
I untwist sorrows from my wounded heart 
as writhing threads of alabaster snakes 
to mold eccentric spheres of swirling light 
that flash with signals of social success. 

While watching Hercules with tangled hair 
wrestle the monstrous demon of his heart, 
I see the Golden Lion of the Sun 
expand as emanation from his brain 
so his brave sons, the Alpine Celts of Luck, 
establish Empire of the Seven Hills. 

While strolling around lake near Mount Takoma, 
I notice the watch I wear on my wrist 
has transformed into the white raven quill 
which I employ to compose epic tale 
about ancient philosophers whose ideas 
form foundation of our global world view.

His coarse woolen coat of unsteady faith 
protects his heart with shield of unconcern 
when he strides in the icy air of dawn 
and climbs the stairway to bright offices 
where he translates strange noises of the world 
as sublime songs only beasts understand. 

He cannot measure vibrant pulse of time 
except through rasping breath of false regret 
spooled into cigarette of bitter pride 
which he flicks over walls of paradise 
to analyze unnumbered days of life 
that he yet earns from random dice of fate. 

He buys the useless book of psychic math 
from the blind clown who pretends not to scream 
so he can calculate code of lost myths 
designed by faceless monster of the cave 
who knows what sorrow always breaks our hearts 
because we prefer to torment ourselves. 

Because the road through Hell remains unpaved, 
he raises funds from private citizens 
to widen highway where the damned still drive 
in joyful search for the arrogant tree 
that grows from corpse of God in summer rain 
while lovers linger in the crumbling barn. 

He ponders how his marriage cultivates 
familiar passion of the aching heart 
for holding hands in affectionate show 
that blind ghosts watch on television screens 
by hiding in the mason jar of trust 
that waits half-cracked in basement of romance. 

He hates that he relies on words of fools 
to understand old social rules of fate 
that reprogram how his brain activates 
assertive deeds of deconstructive ploys 
to redesign how strangers earn awards 
for looking beautiful in polished masks. 

He should share his astrological sign 
as son of clever Sagittarius 
but no one expects him to organize 
sacred feast of the alabaster cow 
that prances in the field of buried bombs 
which spring reborn as soldiers of the crown. 

He savors ancestor sadness of faith 
that urges him to lie about his birth 
since fate is never inescapable 
despite calm presence of the water queen 
whose eyes expose dark secrets of his heart 
then smiles because she loves him anyway.

Screaming Star Of Ecstasy

Screaming Star Of Ecstasy

Because the screaming star of ecstasy 
knows my secret name my mother designs, 
I stand in doorway of infinity 
to gaze at wondrous vastness of the Earth 
since my heart loves its thriving messiness 
which I experience with clumsy grace. 

Spawned by the screaming star of ecstasy 
as writhing creature of electric words, 
I run fast forward through ten thousand lives 
to understand how I evolve from mouse 
as wingless angel eager to transcend 
this fragile frame that generates my soul. 

Despite how screaming star of ecstasy 
programs my brain to always question why, 
I feel my body swell with ocean waves 
huge as boundless clouds of absolute light 
so when you ask me how I feel today 
I twirl around and hum sweet psalm of joy. 

Ruled by the screaming star of ecstasy 
through pulsing atoms of my flashing brain, 
I hammer glowing meteor from the sky 
to pull sharp sword of power from the stone 
and fight the snarling monster of despair 
to guard my family behind haven walls. 

Far beyond screaming star of ecstasy 
on anabolic wings of Icarus, 
I leap across high bridge of solitude 
to time-jump worlds across the multiverse 
till I find you in garden of my heart 
where you tend fruit tree of our honest love. 

Seized by the screaming star of ecstasy 
because I hear weird voices of the dead, 
I compose new Astarian Testament 
to analyze how empires rise and fall 
so I can design with artful insight 
new social system based on Liberty. 

Deep inside screaming star of ecstasy 
as Mind of God that knows all conscious souls, 
I visit every city in the world 
to offer Holy Book of Prophecies 
with pages empty of the wordless dream 
based on eccentric tales of puppeteers. 

Bred from the screaming star of ecstasy 
that weaves new body for my ancient soul, 
I wake with memories my ancestors lived 
that shine more real than Lamp of Hemera
which helps me find lost Lyre of Mercury 
so I chant hymns to praise our mortal gods. 



Clever Mother Of My Clan

Too early in the morning for this game 
that twists our bodies into hungry ghosts, 
our clan assembles on the river shore 
and hums together in weird harmony 
to channel spirit of the mountain stream 
as scene preserved in our genetic dream. 

Alone in clean museum hall at dawn, 
Nerthus gazes with sense of aching loss 
at painting of idyllic pastoral scene 
that shows her great-grandfather Lycidas 
strumming lyre of Mercury by tall oak 
as Phyllis dances in long breeze-blown gown. 

Walking in silver light of dawn to work 
at the public utilities department, 
Nerthus contemplates how town engineers, 
since humans built Harappa and Uruk, 
have designed straight grids of gardens and streets 
with systems of pipes for water and sewage. 

The holy Fountain of the Flying Horse, 
that springs from heart of darkness on high slope, 
and flows down lush meadows of Helicon, 
supplies the water needs of families 
in millions of houses in city zones 
through system of pipes engineers design. 

Climbing high mountain of mist-shrouded pines, 
Nerthus follows the winding river course 
to cave from which clear water of life springs, 
then gazes over vast metropolis 
organized to manage human desires 
in food-production system of our hope. 

Each person finds their place in game of life 
in which constructive labor of their hands 
contributes to production and distribution 
of food so every living human being 
may eat fair share of energy they make, 
though some will hoard wealth from desperate fear. 

Tall black-haired archer Malchos Azizos, 
who journeyed from Hamath Epiphania 
to man the fort near Wall of Hadrianus, 
offers Nerthus apples and deer-skin cloak, 
so she agrees to cook food at his hearth, 
and bears lithe son he names Apollonios. 

I feel through glowing vision of my heart 
spirit of Atargatis, Dea Syria, 
awake in clever mother of my clan 
who taught me how to breathe in soul of light 
and sing harmonious melody of love 
that guides my journey to the Promised Land.

My Right To Still Exist

My Right To Still Exist
© Surazeus
2026 08 03

If I rename small island of my heart, 
who would decide to visit without lies 
as if time flaps electric wings of chance 
before we meet on river shore of fate 
to prove sincerity fuels all we do 
because questions never reveal our truth. 

My thoughts are not the social mess you buy 
against assertive theme statistics fool, 
since formal layout of my mission shows 
how far I have to go on fractured road 
before I could achieve my dream of wealth 
that tricks my passion to leap without faith. 

Startled by each open door of despair, 
I wander blindly over the threshold 
reserved for angels who deserve their wealth 
despite how often people they love die 
except for lonely children of the field 
who sell fake seeds of wisdom to the rich. 

This well-earned kiss of true love we may share 
fills me with bitter hope for broken hearts 
which I attempt to shield with laughing books 
too often stolen from book store of fate 
where hungry teachers hide from sudden debt 
before another king falls dead from fear. 

Disturbed by surging waves of calm disdain, 
my child reports how angels fall at dawn 
though no one hears each new word she invents 
with runes I scratch in river mud of faith 
in vain attempt to canonize beliefs 
that seem to prove my right to still exist. 

Obsessed with strictly measured flow of thoughts, 
which I confine to rapid steps of truth, 
I draw vast blueprint of this messy world 
to organize through ordered rows of words 
complex chaos of cows in dew-wet fields 
who ponder mystery of opposing codes. 

Reborn as Seraphus with thirteen eyes, 
I play another game of chess with Death 
in tower where Rapunzel cooks sweet cake 
from chocolate laughter of the lemon tree 
because my blood is maple-syrup thick 
that swirls in boundless oceans of lost words. 

I breathe the gentle breath of Zephyrus 
to fly aloft with swan of human hope 
to catch ingenious thief of surreal dreams 
who tramples on my flowered grave with pride 
while shouting how we belong to the land 
that eats our bodies when we die of love.
