from bondage we wished to Emerge
so segregated Need from greed
divine Aligned, to so submerge
our soul in Bliss, letting love lead
to which end our fears Laid to rest
we Entered our heart to be blessed
by God’s touch, Magic He does weave
after we ask Ego to leave
that standing Naked we attain
soundless bliss Thunder, free from stain

Monocrostic (Birthday of Kristine Elvie Lapeña)
Heady sounds that make one curl inwards like a snail within its shell
Achy grating noises like a fingernail scratching across a chalk board
Every velvet ear deserves sounds of the ocean and water falls
Retire to your room, let the music ooze and fill your stratosphere
I for one never enjoyed the cacophony of a thunderous world at large
Naked ears can be trained to listen to so many Nature resounding peals. So,
Give thanks for your ears and all that they do, take care of them.
Soaring through the snowy week in glamorous attire
King of the Alpine traversing ski empire
In-bounds, snowploughing towards the opening glades
Innards begin to weaken, dignity fades
Naked snow adorned with last night's feast
Green run renamed – "Innards off-Piste"

Delusion caused by needless indulgence,
Entertaining urges of lower mind,
That does stifle our innate innocence
Anchoring attention in egos bind.
Cause and effect of being misaligned
Hidden from us, owing to deep stupor.
Myriad desires, our foolish caper;
Exit simple on choosing detachment,
Naked surrender and devout prayer,
Thirsting and yearning for enlightenment.

Colorful dreams shine a light
Opening joy within my heart
Music so lovely and bright
Insight as warm and wise as art
Naked truth shines so white
Gracing lives with a fresh start
Bringing back the wonder of love
Alive and alert, feelings so sure
Craving hope God sends from above
Keeping vigilant, a promise so pure
Happiness is alive and thriving, full
Opening up brave hearts to know
Memories chanting, by the handful
Enlightening sweet laughter to grow
Coming back home poetry contest

Naked is the truth, stored in memory
Old wine savoured for us to make merry
Slipping thus into trance sedentary
Time to time we do, rekindle the flame
Although in the now, things are not the same
Lightly we flit through dreams; life but a game
Going back also offers deep learning
In the here and now, wisdom imbibing
Ambedo musing, a divine blessing

(syllabic acrostic rhyming tercet)
Thanks my dear love, for locking me inside your warm
Heart which is filled with true love & care in
Abundance for me,feels safe as though I am
in my mother's womb once again.Sitting amidst
Naked arteries,ventricles and chambers,can sense
those pounding thumps
Kissing me and caressing my brain to
Stay there comfortably as long as I desire.

J-AMES the son of Zebedee
U-NBLAMABLE faultless, guiltless, harmless
L-AZARUS raised from the grave and saved
I-AM Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending said He the LORD
U-NSEARCHABLE God's wisdom, knowledge, and understanding
S-TRENGTH with salvation, with power, with love, and a sound mind
L-IFE have it more abundantly
A-PPLE OF HIS EYES that we see the way
W-ALK not in darkness anymore
R-ENEW the mind daily with His Word of Faith
E-NRICHED with the river of God
N-AKED and opened before His eyes we are
C-HRIST the King came to save the world
E-TERNAL LIFE that we may have
Helpless is each one who breaks the life barrier,
Umbrellaed beneath earth's vaporous dome,
Marked with the blemishes of a blighted race.
Angels look down upon them, try to guard their faltering ways.
Naked they are born and naked they depart;
In between the poles an unknown span of days
To letter their life story, a tale woven of variegated yarns,
Yearners, always, for fulfilling Light.

Into myself I do travel, when I close my eyes and listen to the beats of my heart
Never fear, whisper I to myself, never fear the depth of the unknown
The being of Man does be a mystery, answers are there, in ourselves
Reading our soul, listening to our inner consciousness shall take us there
Or talking to our soul, shall take us to where the Maker does be
Sitting, watching us, expecting from us, even hoping for love from us
Pray, our soul does be a wonder, none do know of what it does look like
Earth and its being itself does be a puzzle, a puzzle I shall unravel...
Call I to myself, call I to the nothingness in my mind
To grant me a hint, a vision of what cannot be discerned by the waking state
Instrospective meditation, the time I do feel like I am living, when all of my
Organs do relax and when open does be soul, open to receive truth
Naked soul, untainted by the many pleasures offered by this false world!
Eluding trivial flakes falling off painted walls
Broken fragmented tiles covered in sentimental values
Breaking away shattered glasses finally unattached
Alluring voice beckons tenderly in silk and luster
Naked flame smoldered drifting into saucy simmers
Dancing lights tapping to a musical prelude
Flowing inwards where the heart lies
Leaning ashore worshiping sands of memories
Observing hidden cues of human nature
Waves of ripples entering a lover's dream
Whispering color--whites, grays, icy blues, and browns,
Ice-intoxicated, Winter gyrates upon a crystal floor,
Naked, boldly iridescent in a freezing wrap of snow;
Temperance abandoned, the calming virtue her character avoids,
Eventually her dazzle will be forced latitudes away
Retreating the waxing sun's revitalizing rays.

I dealistic in quest for love and meaning
N aked to the onslaught of emotions
T enacious in holding on to happiness
E lectrified by the simplest of pleasures
N otorious in desire to find fulfillment
S ensual in thought, look, and demeanor
E bullinet in the celebration of life
Oh, the depth of wonder, pain, and sweetness
Encapsulated in this one, simple, glorious word…
