Best Alignment Poems

When I tried, I’d grab your hand
Pull you close and hurt you inside
When I lived, I’d bring you down
There’s nothing left to live for this time

Funny faces, painful places
Tempting lies and metaphoric races
Spiteful smiles, selfish trials
Losing friends within my denial

When I gave, I’d take the...

Where can I go to buy some real excitement
Is there a shop where I can get a new alignment
Would pay big money
In fact dollars by the tunny
To experience the joy of a little refinement

It's the essence of what we're made of.
It's right beneath us as we walk.
It's what the Creator used from up above---
to make "the walking colours that talk".

The essence of movement that kisses your face.
It can push the sea and move the trees.
Sweat on a hot...

Midst “incongruence” inevitable
between dictates of mind and beats of heart
personhood’s wholeness from the very start---
that’s my plea through the Saviour Who’s able.

When visited by worries bringing doubt
letting me leave blest path of redeemed soul
swerving from divine light for faith-propped goal---
I seek the Lord’s direction to...

Pothole on highway
Knocked my front end out of line
Should the city pay?

it’s the mission of our lifetime
to learn to balance heart and mind
to recognize and be grateful
for our numerous blessings
as we covet lofty dreams

in our heart we want to nurture gratitude
and be satisfied with our lot in life
yet aim to stretch beyond our aspirations

we seek to...

First
things first.
Put not cart,
before the horse.
Resolve discord here,
within this mind body;
get head and heart in rhythm,
entwined as one, in sync with love,
attaining thus, tranquil staid stillness,
blurring boundaries between form and space.

Nestled thus, in thought rested awareness,
essence of presence, alone remains,
becoming what may not be named,
where...

within the cave of our heart
where silence abounds
we are touched
by bliss

ego
is absent
for the orifice
admits pure of heart alone

ego being thought driven
wishing to survive
melds in heart
to thrive

inner
alignment
saves the gift of life
bursting forth in bubbling bliss

As I’m bowed, in cares distraught
Lightness unbends, thru an arbor caught

In the rigid coils of tight binds
Gladness interlaces with vines that unwind

Netted in a shadow of grasping night
Moonlit petals glow their reflective sight

Entrenched in weight of concrete inveighs
Nectarine wings point the scented airy way…

We witness the rise
of fears in disguise
as thought
but if we are wise,
we may so apprise
the plot
of ego’s dark lies
promising a prize
that’s naught.

Currents cold and hot
in which we are caught,
confine,
so let’s be self-taught,
doing as we ought,
align
with God we forgot,
recognising not
love’s sign.

As of Gods design,
let love for...

all she ever wanted to be was one with herself
and yet here she was disunited and fragmented
seeking what seemed out of harmonious reach

heart choked in a stranglehold of noosed reason
razor wire punctured her emotions and feelings
rational distortion shackled a delusion of truth

I just want to...

Life going by for most
In vacuity like a ghost 
Unable to vitalise
The divine within to rise
The oft felt inner stirring
Needing tender attending
Yet our wilful neglect
Inability to stand erect
In mind-heart alignment 
Blocks bliss contentment 
Whilst by simply being still
Our cup of joy overspills
Automatically 
Enigmatically
As layer by...

Circadian Wobble

Circadian tripped through a trap door
Into amended reality of light and time
Where confusion missteps through the waltz of the hours,
And intervals of minutes
Glare at each other suddenly plucked out of place
Leaping into a space reserved for colleagues,
Renamed without their permission,
Here circadian wobbles in an...

As I awake this morning
I remember a Barney song 
for my more oppositionally misaligned daughter.

I love you
and you love me
even if I couldn't realign my four B's,
Brain,
and Branches,
and Belly,
and Butt, 
these four aligned
good government.

If you do
then I will tool

It is part of a spiraling dream
as...
