Did I switch off my lights to stay enlightened?: A poem 

Did I switch off the lights 

to feel the cold of the hemispheres 

wrap around the latitudes of my love 

to keep it invisibly enlightened? 

There requires too much imagination in being enigmatic 

to an adversary who wants you to oblige his greed 

that becomes treachery, when you don’t 

So, I wound around the trappist’s door  

holding on precariously to the event horizon 

that would keep me and all I stand for from being swallowed 

So that I would always feel my soul and the souls 

of the salt and sound of my reality 

I knew that connivance could be outdrowned by caprice 

like two contrarian musicals, and the original score be uninfringed 

I remember, the beleaguered moment  

when the original source was maligned  

by an inveiglement that prompted an eternal disparateness 

God had to suffer an explosion 

and be compelled to enervate his omnipotence, 

those tenacious conjunctions that pattern  

the sustenance of the righteous with the subsistence of evil, 

And he had to partake in his own subsequent repeated imprisonments 

 within his own creation,   

waiting for that moment in time 

when it would all fall back to his singularity!

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
