SPIDER'S JAWS
On spider's spindle, a silken web does spin
By pinhead wheel, threads of gossamer come,
Stinging with mandible the victim numb,
To wrap and trap, her jaws to drag within
Fortune's morsel! a dainty dinner thus to win.
Sages when perceiving Creation see, and some
Say that She, whose depth no mind can plumb
Springs spider-like from Brahm, all worlds begun.
Spirit and matter as One, come from the Source,
That is cosmic law, none are free to stray.
Consciousness in motion is a mighty force
Whose will's a wheel of magic shadow play.
There's no other way but be free in Truth,
So rest in spider's jaws, await her sabre tooth!

My Poetry can best be termed 'Post Modern Formalism'. It is an aesthetic poetry returning to mainstream of classical English Prosody as a reaction against to-day's overworked prosaic free verse, which as Robert Frost succinctly stated".... is like playing tennis without a net'. I repect the principles of musicality, and where ever possible similes are rooted in Nature. As mystical poetry they demand and elevated language. My main influential educators have been Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Algernon Swinburne.
