Beyond Thought

thought can't venture
beyond what was
too, imagination is bounded
by beginnings, while
in becoming Man
He stays incomprehensible
revelations showing He remains hidden
reason that He is utterly unspeakable
and intellect that He persists
transcendently unknowable

i have become
heretical to some
for experiencing Him
in silence,
that alone apropos
for what lies beyond words

what is Everything

I'd feared for God
in this day of science
where a-theists strive to prove
that what is Everything isn't
and in His purported nothingness
He exhorts,"Let go"
that i think to know
and live a truth in beauty
beyond mortal dreams -
how do they presume
the last word on the infinite
the Whom could never be
yet Always was
might be reduced to finite?

On Plato

Were Plato correct
love as virtue
would be an objective phenomenon
existent only independently
on a higher plane than achievable
and but for her
the resultant paradigm
by which all verbs of love
are to be conjugated
I might agree
for this I leave here
everything I can think
choosing for my love ever
what lies beyond imagination
for she may well be loved
but not wraught
and by love caught
but held by thought
never

Three

Moments indelibly etched,
that touch of mystery
essential to ecstasy,
of which there are three;
those still-new lives
half me, half you
account for two,
remaining but that kiss
where first I tasted bliss
