TWO METAPHYSICAL SONNETS

SONNETS OF EXPERIENCE

METAPHYSICS

SONNETS  METAPHYSICAL
Proud Philosophy proposed to Poetry pure,
Coaxing, cajoling her to serve him as his Queen.
Reluctant, she succumbed, hair-dragged to his lair,
Lured and bedded behind his mental screen.
Uneasy waged their wedlock, heavily hard to bear
Her fairy fancies with his rigid thought machine.
Divorce seemed certain, until from who knows where?
Fourteen lines of metre meandered on the scene.
Metaphysical sonnets solved their crisis soon
To knit ideas with verses in a subtle form.
He shone as Sun, she swanned as silver Moon,
Reflecting wisdom in stanzas, heartfelt, warm.
They grabbed the avid reader like a thunder storm,
Metaphysical sonnets became a cultural norm.

METAPHYSICS
In this persistent panasonic panorama called life,
The sharp steel of destiny cuts through each like a surgeons knife.
Inside each errant soul on earth down a vertical line,
Their predestined karma unfolds in course of time,
Invisible to the dreamer observing this mundane game.
Yet a horizontal coloured picture's formed just the same,
Events flash by like cinema films on pure awareness' screen,
But those observed events aren't exactly what they seem.
Mad mankind is baffled by wierd world's horrific drama,
The answer's in understanding this phantastic cyclorama.
If this perverted wandering monkey mind we wish to heal,
Contemplate and meditate that this world is not really real.
In this khaki field of karma all things happen for the best,
As we can't perceive 'THAT' let worldly problems have a good rest.
