The day that I died
he slept peacefully in his perfectly made bed.
Firstly, my frozen finger’s bones broke
With whom I baked beauteously
Then my dry eyes cracked like crackers
Getting ferociously mauve like a sunset,
Fourth of July.
My heart's pulse palpated with its last tick
Like a vintage clock on some subtle wall.
The last breath came out sighing like a cloud Hiding from the ablaze sun.
And I died, I died
While he slept peacefully in his perfectly made bed.
He slept on clouds,
He didn't hear me choking on tears,
He had his blanket of dreams covering his eyes,
The dreams of his happy life and wife
While I died, I died and I died.
I died in the name of love,
I died for his silly smile,
I died for his lazy laughter,
I died for his coffee dreams
No coffee for me,
I'd sleep in a coffin.
I sleep too.
Breath by breath, God’s blessings in-pour,
felt within as bliss magnetism,
pausing often at chakra zones
and whilst we never keep a score,
the flame ignites mind-body prism,
beauteously consciousness hones.
There is no doership in worship,
since we are entwined with the whole,
fullness in emptiness the norm,
with love and light, our heart’s flagship,
poised in the void, we play our role,
centred in this benign bliss storm.
In witness mode, space our abode,
in joy we pay to God an ode.
By force divine we are acted upon,
optimised for swift ascent of our soul,
wherein each life breath ushers a new dawn,
fulfilling beauteously our life role.
With the table laid for joy readymade,
there then is nothing that we need to do,
because God Himself hastens to our aid,
provided our heart’s pure like morning dew.
Life’s a maze that continues to amaze,
where if we stagnate nowhere, self-aware,
simply pausing to turn inward our gaze,
poised in silence, with love and light we pair.
Recognising we’re soul indwelling form,
we become the centre of love’s bliss storm.
revealed yet concealed
power that makes breath flow
love’s elixir with which we are healed
as our auric field thus continues to grow
the beauteously slow blossoming of a rose
caterpillar transformed as a butterfly
rainbow in the sky striking a pose
the opening of our third eye
immediate and intimate
flame in the cave of our heart
bliss magnetism that does not abate
ours for the asking on adding love to cart
we may like to share but no one can pair
when we say our ego dropped away
or light of our Self self-aware
seen in this form of clay
feel, feel, feel
delight, delight, delight
in rapture of bliss magnetism
as the benign flame caresses us
beauteously, enigmatically
lovingly, seductively
that we awake
heart braces for impact of bliss pheromones
rapture spasms cause eyes to clench shut
we celebrate the offered joy vibration
each hue new beauteously renews
as we meld with the sensation
not only not counting
even forgetting
milestones
we are wonderstruck as spirit
beauteously consciousness hones
behold how a flower blossoms
unfolding petal by petal
likewise we too ascend
the only doing we do
is will to God’s magnetism bend
life unfolds by itself
replay of what is already impulsed
déjà vu experiences confirms our view
yet our heart takes delight
in imbibing each new bliss beat hue
innate aliveness
in both form and void
tango dance beauteously
rotating their polarities
with each breath
birth and death
betwixt an interlude
of love drenched trance
captivates our heart
enlivened by bliss

Oh joy! Behold how life unfolds beauteously ~
Aligning our soul with love continuously

Pillar of light, from root to crown
Forms a magnetic field
Once fears erased, in bliss we drown
Beauteously thus healed
We are pure God-essence
Bursts forth luminescence
In playful innocence
Sushumna bright
Pillar of light

Appalachian Mountains for hiking so awesome
Beauteously inviting while snow-blanketed…
Carpeted with ice, Niagara Falls stop cascading
Delightfully stunning along frozen water display…
Enchanting hot springs in Japan offer healing efficacy
Fascination-sites as macaques soak themselves fabulously…
Grand Canyon midst snowflakes shines radiantly gorgeous
Hoisting hopefulness for trekking, never hampered…
Interesting glaciers in Alaska with roaming moose’ impact
Jubilant indeed, along aurora borealis spectacle, wondrously joyous…
Kindled with serene ambiance is Swiss Alps of gorgeous viewing keys
Lake Geneva offering panoramic scenes likewise…
My birth province, blest by God* with garden terraces’ marvels
Nourishes Winter virtual vacation with gladness along nostalgic nurturing….
*1Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Incessant motion in geometric perfection
Hermetic wisdom: as above, so below
Within form too shines moon glow
Divine feminine, bliss elation
Seasons, tides, menstrual cycle
Goddess is in each breath present
Causation of life forms to be sentient
Energy kinetic, each life pulse a miracle
Inspirations in all hearts, magic of lovers
Enigmatic caress, soul transforming
Suns light, beauteously reflecting
Answering our childlike prayers
Moonlight as Ida, appeasing fire
By her touch, cooling magnetic heat
Vivifying us in rapture, from head to feet
Moon feminine is what propels hearts desire

in as ordained
we set roll the dice
on shape shifting terrain
to secure the victory chalice
whereupon
either which way
new aspirations arise
in whose pursuit we pray
approaching horizons capsize
whereupon
in timeless time
on desire exhaustion
we feel an inner joy chime
in quietude of blissful meditation
whereupon
our innate innocence
imbibes the nectar joyfully
whilst engaged in divine parlance
enlivening consciousness beauteously

divine soma nectar dripping
through hidden nadis within
each pulse explosive ignition
bliss throb within enlivening
crown assumes pole position
one thousand petals blooming
elixirous magnetism vivifying
as bliss renews in continuation
mind concepts take a back seat
inner reality dawns beauteously
rapture delighting continuously
in sync with our silent heart beat
the divine caress is soft & gentle
childlike play teasing and loving
each nuance within scintillating
as we participate in Gods miracle
within

Celestial jewel of eye delight
treasure from God Who grants faith’s sight
beauteously radiant, ceaselessly bright
firmament wonder driving astronomic flight
galaxy ornament mystifying constellation gazers’ might
such is my stellar power, reaching from outer space height ---
--- illumining your poetic muse against visual blight!
As a great light* with valued luminescence
star am I affecting solar system’s iridescence
created out of the Lord’s omnipotence and omniscience
from me plants get chlorophyll for nutritious essence
being the sun: electricity source, force of industrial excellence…
such is my triumphant solar experience midst life rays' influence ---
--- sharing with you heaven’s opulence!
*Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
