Smoke and Mirrors

Amid the flux
Of shimmering sound and vision
Someone is lying
Is it your eyes 
Is it your ears
Is it those pulling the levers
And splicing the tapes
Or is it all of the above?

In the end
It’s not the lying that matters
Since that’s what senses
And people do
It’s the believing
That will get you

Why are we seeing isis flags? that waved before above
Those who were to be be-headed !!
Why does the government not put such horror to bed?
Where is the right to live in peace?
A Britian integral, where all should live with all surceace
Wholly free' no iron fist; no foreign law.'
The senses of the people, I feel are

An Actuality of Belief

What I love is the actuality of God
All day
Everyday
A fluid give and take
A being with God
Not just a going to church God
Not a God of scripture and things written
A living breathing every second of the day God
Call me a fool
What I love is my best friend God
My ..I am never alone God
I am accepted just

ACTUALITY

so remote
distinction
between
appearance &
where
 reality
   exists
illumed


self-assertive
yet fallible
 by
 mutual suspicion
insecurity
   &petty
appearance
but
unusually
interactive
&
 motivated
   focused
&purposed

perspective
 with the idea
of
love
in
 relationship
 so very real
with a  sense
 denial of self 
 capable
 of
genuinely
  telling
&
portraying
 a life
free to be

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

Realest

As your name implies, you are my Eden.
You are my beautiful flower in my wonderful garden.

You are the one I cultivate in my heart.
I water you every day, and I love you a lot.
Grow and bloom in my heart
On a beautiful farm, 
On a wonderful farm, I will protect you and be your magical charm.

I will

This-ness 
Right now

Feel it
Breathe it

Touch it
Love it

It is
As is

The all
That is

Moment
Flowing

Embrace
Release

Like breeze
With ease

Hermit
Know now

Be still
At peace

Within
The heart

Wherein
We merge

As in
The mind

Ego
All thought 

Just melt
Therein

Doing what we do as a doer, we tend to sway 
Owing to lower ego urges thus interfering
Knowing seeing is believing, as scriptures say
Becoming by non-doing, presence free flowing

Delighting in myriad hues of love manifest
Vivifying elixir divine, magnetising our form
Transcending mind body by ceasing to resist
Imbibing waves of ineffable bliss in swarms

Resting thought, abiding in

Premium MemberActuality In Physicality

Magnetic throb within definitive
electrifying our form with ecstasy 
We know not any spiritual practice 
the rapture within being our reality

It matters not what others affirm
for we are ever immersed in bliss
In surrendered stillness we align
both free & captive in loves caress

Premium MemberActuality In Physicality

Here we are
Within form
Ceasing to spar
Ego we disarm

Layer by layer
Clear light dawns
Stillness our prayer
Each moment reborn 

Void & manifestation 
Appear & disappear
Permanent bliss elation
Vaporises false fears

The Sushumna erect
Throbbing with power
Inner alignment corrects
Swathed in a bliss shower 

Radiation from within
Sears through identity
Renewal of bliss ignition
Our being-ness in continuity

Head and heart in unison, as an integral whole generating resonance of completeness and wellness along with the Sushumna channel throbbing with magnetic electricity, represents vibrant aliveness of presence, wherein we abide in tranquil rapture of bliss in renewal. An ever present orientation of childlike innocence spontaneously imbibes each life pulse thus, in loving embrace.

"ACTUALITY"


there are 7.5 billion people 
in this world.

there are just a hand full
that know what it means 
to live life

and
 
maybe someday, 
we'll tell them.
