Aversion Poems - Poems about Aversion

Desire and aversion

“This will be my last life”, the monk exclaimed,
“I’ll not be coming back to earth again.”
Such words but speak of tempests not yet tamed,
defeated by life, bound to ego’s chain,
viewing God’s gift of life with marked disdain. 
Aversion is in fact worse than desire,
fears best consigned to the funeral pyre,
easily done if we dwell in

Musings on aversion

averse to noise
people talking loudly
whilst yet accepting what is
we make peace with incongruity 
recognising the looming gap 
between desire and reality
yawn and then move on

averse to religious dogma
we wonder at the insecurity 
devout brandishing their gods
making conversion a life mission 
so what it is a pastime after all
although harmful if we reflect 
spreading virus of

Aversion

I cannot deny
onset of aversion
whenever I observe
religious dogma at play

why do we brandish our gods
attempting to save ‘sinners’
making it our life mission
I do find it annoying

belief is in mind
realisation is in heart
we can memorise scriptures 
or transform, becoming the light

Aversion to toxicity

The cacophonous din of troubled minds,
intrudes rudely into our sacred space 
and momentarily tranquil eye blinds,
although we soon recover, by God’s grace,
choosing to release the toxic embrace.
Perhaps the immersion is but a test,
brought forth by the universe in light jest
but be that as it may, we soon restore
vibrance of presence, which is by God blessed,
for

I Have an Aversion to Prejudice

I have an aversion to prejudice
Judging a pond without sampling its ice
Consorting with others eating large melons
Passersby judged as free men or felons

Women condemned as whores or harlots
While tormenting men turn the air scarlet
Then sit in the pews reserved for the saintly
Ogle the preacher’s wife ever so daintily

For judgement you see is a way to

A Grave Concern

I mave thought on the possibilty of two of the
Main world 'religious systems' merging namely
Into a cristio-islamic entity..This would i see
Bring the action of be-heading humans used in
Certain islamic groups possibly. ? Into any creed
That might be manufactured.? I am loath to
Put this out, as I do not wish to see such an
abomination exist, this

Palpable Aversion

It’s pure as fresh snow 
and as pale as a ghost.
It’s the shade on the light spectrum
that I loathe the most.

A beluga whale, the milky moon
and the aftermath of bleach
and all my body’s hidden places
just out of the sun’s reach. 

It lies on unlined paper
and rests on decaying bones.
On a virginal wedding dress
in the trash,

Desire Versus Aversion

I am not a heartless statue made of stone,
nor a marble sculpture that's never known
the sweet savor of a kiss upon parted lips
nor the sensual tracings of one's fingertips.

I'm not averse to desires for which I yearn
or to the ways to achieve them all in turn.
It's happiness I seek throughout this life,
not depriving myself with

DESIRE VERSUS AVERSION

For personal addiction, I'm aware
Dealing with my desires, I must beware...
Such are arenas for daily conquest
Putting faith to test amidst chosen best.

Sweet desserts please my tongue, I do confess
Yet, flesh loathes to gain weight in the process…
Discipline for well-being should prevail
That I need to practice, though sometimes fail.

To honesty and truth, my mind does cleave
From

Desire and Aversion

Myriad objects
Thoughts included
Appear and disappear
Some attract, others repel
Ol hermit, what do we hold dear?

Desire and Aversion

Like two-sides of the same-coin are desire and aversion,
In daily psychic chores they are whole heart-mind immersion;
Desire is cause of all sufferings - Gautam Buddha claimed, 
Aversion involves heart and mind too; both should be well-tamed...!

Charming blooms, guileless creatures and colorful-scenes attract,
From glooms and pains and sufferings human heart does detract;
Feelings of facts and fancies

Aversion Sprouts From Desire

Under the scorching blaze of the craving sun
The desiccated life suffering forsaken parched
Searches for a wayside tree of gratification
To provide the satisfying shade of success.

The fulfillment of deep desire of irresistible love
I irresistibly desire from the core of my heart
Subsumes seamlessly the passionate hedonism
That takes me to the ambit of enticing impulse.

Chasing mirage on dwindling

Desire and Aversion

desire and aversion 
      exist together 
as part of the universal all-that-is

opposites purposely attract 

the constant push and pull
      of attraction and repulsion 
demands we look higher within 
       to find the middle ground 
    

Desire and Aversion

Like diverse partners in a romantic tango
Ebbing and flowing through intricate steps,
Daily we wrestle with desire and aversion
Working in tandem contradictory concepts.
Wanting that which often repels our senses
Hedonistic pleasures do assault our mind,
Making us lust for things that are forbidden
Ethical compromises are so difficult to find.
The dancers separate and come together
In a delicate pattern that

Desire and Aversion

Both desire and aversion,
cast on soul’s light aspersion,
egoic thought spirals of doom
allowing not bliss to zoom.

Habits we form, an anchor,
manifesting as rancour,
contracting joy in our heart,
till expectations depart.

Let interruptions delight,
for we see now by clear sight,
that earth life is but a test,
where love doth rise and fears rest.
