Smoke and Mirrors

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

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.

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

Like breeze
With ease

Be still
At peace

Actuality of Being
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

Actuality 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

Actuality 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

Actuality of Being
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.
