Until you have - no,
I mean no hope at all
Left to cling unto;
That’s when you will know,
You’ve got only to fall
Or unleash anew
An unreal hunger
For determining your rise
Above reality.
Of being done younger,
When all seems of old, rough sighs -
Embrace actuality.
And that’s where strengths come
To realization: how strong
You can be as man,
As life dares succumb
Your unwavering quests lifelong -
Cum impromptu plan.
("Perception/Reality Merit Badge" #62, 2015, original oil)
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 in trouble
Every time.

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 raw' false politicans
You'll be 'dissallowed' denied position.'
I hear the vows, it will take millions, maybe they are ready?
A phobia against treason, is now to the fore '
Level headed people, seem primed; aware, intent and sore.'
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 as I am God
My never criticizing always forgiving
I am more than enough even though I am flawed God
My sees me as exquisite God
My hugs me at night and welcomes me into every new day God
My believes in me God
My God who is with me when I screw up and loves me just the same when I do something nice for others
Active, actual, ever here always laughing joyful God
My does not ask me to do anything nor rewards me for doing anything God
Because he loves me infinitum no matter what I do or don't do
Unconditional absolute acceptance God
Have you allowed yourself to really know him?

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 shine brightly for you like the sun in the morning.
In my heart, things are growing and blossoming.
So I can see your cheerful face having a good time in actuality.
I, my one and only, will nourish you with love and trust.
And it wouldn't fail because it's all part of my reality.

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 pure awareness
Emptying out consciousness contracting toxins
Going along with the flow of love in blissfulness
Dancing with joy as bliss throb within heightens
Beginning thus in pristine stillness and silence
Transitioning to fullness by bliss percolation
Scintillating is the purity of childlike innocence
Drawing in divine grace in playful celebration
22-November-2020
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
12-September-2020
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
25-August-2020
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. We feel complete.
Form a hollow shell
Transfixed in ecstatic joy
Bliss ineffable
