HEAVEN IS VERB AND NOUN
Heaven, synonymous with
Heart in its becoming of
the New Human ~
perception, perceiver and perceived
when merging incubates an
anechoic reality________
all else incanting illusion
labyrinths of hopelessness
whether it includes jade palaces, tantric temples
peacocks and tigers or not
this is Heaven here and Now
breath exhaling creation ~ inexplicable
veins loving blood, organs in ordination
verb and noun
Titanic in its tendrilled Presence
eating baked beans and toast
moves faster than Light
slower than sea anemones
more silent than Lake Nyos
louder than Blue Whale’s mating song
or Tsar Bomba
it basks with dragoned purity
though cobbled streets are littered
its wisdom sits undulating beckoning
in a cage of curved bones
yet uncaged lullabying, pastel peaceful
in knowingness of its supreme
sweep of spacelessness
microscopically macroscopic
watchful it vanquishes each
unconquered unconscious
whisp of betrayed withdrawal
no winged seraphim dared touch
not their tenacious task
Heaven descends its curves to
pinecone point whilst
exuding expansively exponentially
inserting itself into unfolding ascending
Earth, balmy rawness carrying
lifeforce across Cosmos
planets material and spiritual
saluting Embrace of all Embraces
a merging of that which is,
with that which is not
black-holed stillpoint engaging movement
a willow touching river’s ripple
then lovingly instantaneously disengaging
with a sweeping sweet olive gale
indelibly homeless Homeric hereness
essentially homed homocentric
awareness of longings within unlonging
~ a this-ness sepulchre crystal
flickering on and off, a flowering peach
the becoming…
Heaven ~ a webbed transparency cuts
through every mountain, cavern, hypocrisy
riding each wave with a thousand
elusive kaleidoscopic expositions
luminousity of Galactic Sun
in action, fissured fragility reaching the
impenetrable, nurturing, cradling
a found key into dark keyhole
and treasures unlocked
________the search for a
real garden goes within
chocolate eggs or glow worm caves
ekphrasis or sonnet
but dismissive simulations
nothing else matters
surrender all bookish understanding
unbind every vaporous desire
dissolve each scripted letter, poet pen
pigeon feather or bamboo holiday home
victory over the unconquerable
unquenchable happens in
authentic instances of knowingness
there was never a fight or journey
HEAVEN is for REAL
splendour within
