    Temple of Your Thoughts

    I sit here in the temple of your thoughts
    Sure to find the things that I had eagerly sought
    About the methods and theories of oughts
    Little did I expect the depth the encounters brought

    For I find a living city within
    Teeming with life serenading with wooing violins
    In unimaginable ways you yet manage to get deeper under my skin
    And here your ideas have always been

    Growing by leaps and bounds
    Creating vibrant sounds
    Here and there tucked all around
    The quality and depth truly astounds

    As all enfolds me and unclothes me
    Textures and nuance of every degree
    Spirit dance the joy of jubilee
    As I take shelter beneath your magnificent trees

    Volumes of power among the ordinary
    That sings notes of beauty like a thousand master canaries
    As though one who has accidentally stumbled on a private prairie
    I now tarry

    Without hurry awaiting the gestation of each unfolding
    As various hues and schemes one is spellbound to behold
    As dextrous as the Sistine chapel in its scaffolding
    There is little that is left of marble walls of withholding

    Masterpiece upon masterpiece of moving emotion
    Set to the quality of artistic devotion
    Gentle expanse refreshing sea salt ocean
    Overflowing with exotic notions

    Indeed what word is lacking here
    Love it is among this vast tapestry to those with ears to hear
    Strung quartets of harmonious blends sincere
    Quickening steps I see of a verbal pioneer

    I am honored
    To review what you have authored
    A rendition of the human and divine you anchored
    My heart you have once more bestirred

    Grace, love, light and majesty
    Portraits of hidden honesty
    Even chapters that are dark and lusty
    Others that were written a mite hasty

    But above all it reveals one who is sensitive
    All of it the human condition touched caressive
    By an artists hand pieces successive
    Temple of understandings effective

    This is a very revealing work, giving insight into your heart, mind and soul. It is as if you disrobed your psyche and bared your heart for us to see. You must have been very inspired by this person/ author and one can see that you love them very much, on several levels. I love how your spiritual and emotional love transcends into physical feelings here in a very subtle way. To me this is a very sensual and exciting thing to be able to see your true passion here, eroticism for my mind...Incredible! Very stimulating!

    Thank you and yes, he is a great inspiration to me in fact this work grew in the moment that clarity revealed itself to me of this matter and because of it I could not help but sing in response and tribute to him.

    Thank you Tempy I am thankful for your readership.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
