That which is ill-begot will love you not,
but pull the strings of a heavy heart.
Prone to weigh and size,
we stifle surprise,
of bliss magnetism,
in body-mind prism.
Thought opaques soul’s light,
a blockage, our blight,
which when we release,
life flows on with ease.
Watch how dreams unfold,
as stories retold,
in which love’s bliss squall
melds us with the all.
If we be but still,
voids in heart will fill,
revealing God is
light and love’s bliss fizz.
Feeling not thinking,
focus unblinking,
obtaining clear sight,
we behold His light.
When Hofmann stumbled across a new synapse,
serotonin underwrote a dopamine contract.
Cuddle or cringe, carnival or calamity,
worlds in one potent punch squared.
Blotter art doesn't pursue gallery status
rather to dissolve into a cerebral canvas,
with a sometimes recess from what is seen.
Lucy shut my eyes with a seven-hour kiss,
her slow caress gave me a new skin
that no shower could make clean.
Kaleidoscope giggles shatter reality
tickling permanent change, but on that night,
I felt the moon plummet and explode into a dawn
so that the sun could take it all away.
Our sin, cacophonous thought din
Oh hermit, when will we begin
In silence, choosing to be still
Feeling God’s love and light within
Simply by surrendering will
Bliss mists rise and voids in heart fill
There’s no doing we need to do
Faith makes easy ascent uphill
Each hue of life throbs felt is new
We fall, we rise, pristine like dew
Knowing this dream life will not last
We delight as bliss beats renew
The breath of God is soul’s repast
Wide and far net of love is cast
Our eye mindful and touched gentle
We dwell in the vibrant void vast
How may we stop movement of thought,
borne of deep desires our heart brought?
Desires diminish zest of soul,
that here and now feels not quite whole.
Let us then examine the cause,
to put our restlessness on pause,
for which we must know who we are,
that our head and heart, cease to spar.
To this end, if our will we bend,
melding with silence, we ascend,
in as shift, from the pulse dual,
soul’s eye single, love our fuel.
Thought then thus instrumentalised,
truth of being is realised,
immediate and intimate,
taking us straight, to heaven’s gate.
Little by little
Fear forms whittle
Dimming soul’s light
Day and night
Crouched in fright
Dark thoughts belittle
Our mindful eye
Thus does decry
Onset of grief
Ego, joys thief
To get relief
We wingless fly
We’re alive and aglow, so all should be well
but perchance if we begin to feel withdrawn,
as feelings of melancholy in heart swell,
a shroud of depression, darkening the dawn,
making us gloomy, life then a living hell,
know wistful soul exhumes darkness with a yawn,
nonchalantly choosing to sing a love hymn,
thereby averting possible outcomes grim.
Innate vibrancy of soul, our mood and mode,
employs will for polarity rotation,
stagnating nowhere, for joy is it’s abode
and each vibration is but a play station,
so once love and light, within heart we encode,
moment to moment, we’re in meditation,
unaffected by the highs and lows of life,
empty like vast space and at all times bliss rife.

Beyond thought ego begot
“Let go of belief crutch ~
Enable love by touch”
_________________
Belief is in mind,
we best leave behind.
In heart, sans thought flow,
feel throbs of bliss grow.
In heart we anoint,
joy that scriptures point,
feeling, not thinking;
love and light linking.
Life pulse dyadic
in void triadic,
feels Holy Spirit,
as of soul’s merit.
Beyond narrow thought,
be thou thus self-taught ~
threefold flame of Christ,
is imbibed, not priced.

subtle flickers of volition
betray our veiled agitation
spawned by urge of our lower mind
ego gripping us in its bind
anchoring us in stagnation

delight of blissful scent
flight of swallows ascent
where lies joy throb pivot
unaware, the bigot
subtle rapture tingle
capture not, just mingle
agitation joy flaws
stagnation our pain cause
exit strife, stand erect
life joyful and perfect
dweller of the void, free
stellar in playful spree

just
as the
magnetism
of pheromone
attracts honeybees
as of flowers yearning,
likewise, oh fearless hermit,
desires of our heart manifests
our dream life, we believe to be real,
till clear light of truth revealed in silence.
Thus, embracing all, negating nothing,
mindful not to stagnate anywhere,
conscience distilling our desires,
in resonance with Gods love,
we celebrate each throb
in vibrant fullness
feeling complete
each moment
of our
life.

Each thought form admitted within,
desire of ego origin.
As such, we are the creator,
both the captive and the captor.
All manifestations but thought,
which desires of our heart begot.
As we think, so we are and be.
Reflect oh hermit! Where are we?
