The Garden of Moksha, Fragrant Orchids and Night-blooming Cereus

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem 

The petals of eternity will bloom,

Or never will, because of you and me.

The good that we create will blossom doom

Or glory.  Purest serendipity

Awaits in time far, far away when night

Will vanish and our minds have disappeared

Among the flowers of immortal height

Or mountains in a cosmos system tiered

With splendor searing from ten trillion moons

With all their suns.  The destinies we make

Will be like roaring galaxy typhoons

To cause the universe of love to quake.

  The masters of all fates we must become

    Until black thorns, hate’s evil spines, succumb.
