Bemuse Poems | Examples

Invoking grace

latent muted newfound observations, quests raging
bemuse our heart and confound the mind 
maverick ego is at play again
inducing cravings we must leave behind

beguiled, confused, depraved ego feels guilty
such pangs of conscience usher dawn
entering silence the ripples cease
betwixt bliss beat’s rise we are reborn 

prayerfully quiet radiant soul tames umbrage
deeming thought forms as but illusion
thus by doing nothing at all
flame of our innocence exits delusion

delightful empowering favours God Himself infuses 
bliss magnetism cascading in feeble form
on choosing to shed our resistance 
heart’s swept away in love’s benign storm

the direct path

senses bemuse
thoughts amuse too
our goose is cooked

negating form
each life storm ebbs
conform with love 

no fears remain
feral stains cleansed 
heart’s pain is healed 

in body urn
bliss burns erst sins
we turn inwards

in hermit mode
we decode truth
an ode to God

Silence please

God search, soul’s quest, requiring ego to die,
vaporising, that then we transcend time-space
limitations, viewing the light of our Self …
   questions cease; truth’s known.

In this dream realm, illusions bemuse, confuse
but if we choose to be still, voids then soon fill,
thus if we wish to be free, silence reveals …
   the truth of being.

Bococo bay

Bococo bay
beyond Ballay,
beyond Bar Reef,
beyond belief;
big booby bawls
brash booming calls
bedraggled beasts
bake bacon feasts
boss bozos boast
beside bad ghosts
blue butt Baboons
bemuse with tunes
bone bodies boo
(boil boogers too)
bombastic boys
bang, bang with noise
bijou boats float
bob bob in moat
blind burping bird
begs to be heard
Bococo bay
beyond Ballay,
beyond Bar Reef,
beyond belief;
beyond Bopeep
beyond my sleep.

The Oceans Live

Over the waters blue, the night winds sigh, 
          the breakers roar.”
                    _ by Lord Byron  

Beneath the moon, Earth's living oceans breathe
with pulsing tides and swells that rise and fall.
The iridescent blues on rolling waves
add mystery, as night winds echo sighs.

Large breakers roar and crash upon the shore
as gusty winds push forward frothy waves-
displaying unleashed power over land;
a force that dominates beyond control.

So like another world, our oceans seem-
with depths to places down below huge waves;
where creatures large and small in secret worlds
explore their universe- to us unknown.

What lies beneath of life we've never seen
or life that was- now buried deep below
where land was once- but seized by ocean's might;
commanders of this Earth- these oceans are.

Beyond our skies- unknowns bemuse our minds;
neath ocean waves rests knowledge still to come.
On land, we in the middle share a loss
in finding answers to these mysteries.

Inspiration

Like magic, it appears
inspiration- a roaring force out of nowhere
spins and steers

filling blank views
with creative visions and flare-
bemuse

reveal
its force to share
zeal

Like magic, it appears
with creative visions and flare-
zeal

Reclaiming inner light

As mind-body grows, our soul knows,
truth of being, so gently flows
but then fears and desires bemuse,
so inner light no longer glows.

Succumbing to lower mind’s ruse,
we strive and toil, both win and lose 
but seeing how fickle heart sways,
such antics no longer amuse.

Choosing one day, to mend our ways,
we see how silence, dark fear slays 
and so we shift focus inside,
finally free, at end of days.

Innocence has no cause to hide,
so in the void, we wingless glide,
reclaiming the light of our soul,
suffused with bliss, on life’s joy ride.

We grow up, the day we feel whole,
as living light, scriptures extol,
breath by breath, imbibing God’s grace,
fulfilling thus, our ordained role.

Choosing to exit, the rat race,
live, love, laugh, at an easy pace,
alive, aglow, in stillness slow,
holding God’s love, in close embrace.

Brigette Goes To Broadway

Flapping gay garment hung on balcony bannister
    Trots obstinate flung spun over railing 
    Fixated brazen Brigette immune to embarrassment
    Boosted bemuse formats never failing


    Composed to procure prominence, step with stars
    Stage bound show must go on motto
    Constellation shift slides velvet curtain aside ajar
    Planets orbit origin wins Lyceum lotto


    Horoscope high hope performs fame premonition
    Bright light box office tickets Brigette
    Halcyon sky spiral beehive secures each audition
    Sixties seductress frequency fills seats

          Absurd Truth

Apply Not Mind

Apply not mind, employ heart’s glow
Ceasing grasping, connect
Clear truth dawns in staid stillness slow
Such is the path, direct

Fears and desires bemuse
Devil in disguise ruse
Thoughts no longer amuse

Ego spawned bind
Apply not mind

Relinquish Imagined Knowing

The scriptures bemuse,
their teachings confuse,
for we
grasp not offered clues
and so win or lose,
we see
that we may so choose
love without excuse,
to be.

Tied to our mind tree,
how can we be free
unless
head and heart agree
to frolic in glee,
undress,
flowing thus carefree,
in a fun filed spree;
no stress.

If we would progress,
fears we must address,
defuse,
that bliss makes ingress
and God may soul bless,
transfuse
His grace to access
cause of soul’s duress,
to cruise.

Watch That Thought Ego Begot

poisoned pawn
temptation
look again

fears bemuse
desires spike
fearsome storm

mindful eye
tranquil heart
is immune

Zebra

Zebra lines, black and white, in stark contrast,
          mirrors the play of life,
      since neither pain nor joy does last;
                    why for then strife?

Hush the blush dear soul, there’s no need to rush,
          blossom like a flower,
      as pheromones mingle and gush
                    thus, hour by hour.

Let not zig zag patterns of illusion 
          bemuse our lower mind.
      As spirit free from delusion,
                    choose pathways kind.

Awake Oh Hermit

That transfixed in bliss, God may uplift soul,
conscience urges presence to heed love's beat,
to imbibe rapture, all scriptures extol.

Awaking from stupor being life's goal,
void of stillness invokes magnetic heat,
that transfixed in bliss, God may uplift soul.

Subtle whispers ethereal cajole
head to meld with heart, sipping nectar sweet,
to imbibe rapture, all scriptures extol.

Fears and desires bemuse, heart feels not whole,
so surrenders all doership at His feet,
that transfixed in bliss, God may uplift soul.

Nothing need be done to fulfil life’s role,
save embracing all with a loving tweet,
to imbibe rapture, all scriptures extol.

Ceasing striving, relinquishing control,
behold how polarities meet and greet,
that transfixed in bliss, God may uplift soul,
to imbibe rapture, all scriptures extol.

Storms bemuse us not, for they will pass soon ~
To bliss beats divine, we endlessly swoon
