Best Continual Poems
Quote 2: "Observe the wonders as they occur around you.
Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent. ~Rumi
~
Old pages torn from ancient trees
with sage remarks upon the breeze
break silence, one by one
Catch them, hold them, before they flee
and listen to the past, unseen
for strong roots to lean on

Charlie consumed countless calories
chomping Christmas cake
chocolate
cookies
candies
chewy caramels
cherry cheesecake
consequently
Charlie complained of
cavernous cavities
and cramped constricting chino’s
Charlie can’t control continuous Christmas chomping!

Oh hermit, look not for a finish line
Just grow love emotion, in slow motion
Meld head with heart and with bliss beats align
Oh hermit, look not for a finish line
Universe desires to make us divine
Renew with delight, splash in the ocean
Oh hermit, look not for a finish line
Just grow love emotion, in slow motion

Laying in a foreign bed, I can't sleep.
Thoughts swirl inside my head that I can't quite shake.
I find them all hard to control, pacing like a caged animal through them all.
One by one they flash behind my eyelids and play like an old movie, each tormenting scene play's in slow motion before moving on to the next.
This whole thing on a continual loop.
I'm here now unable to open my eyes paralyzed by fear and trapped in the torment that I feel now consumes me from within...

NOTHING IN MY LIFE WILL COME AGAIN
Bless my day
my day is blessed
Because I'm alive
because I am
Nothing in my life will come again
Except the life and love mine Father gives me

Light Verse
Subtle scents resurrected by desire,
hijacked by ego, crystallise as thought,
a symbol seeking to depict that fire,
which divine inspirations to heart brought,
attempting to cage sun rays but cannot,
with words merely pointing out to that taste,
savoured, embraced and released by soul chaste.
In silence, becoming one with life’s flow,
as the source that enlivens form of dust,
relinquishing thus ego’s need to know,
vibrance of innocence radiates trust,
as of choiceless choice doing as it must,
to reinvent creation by love’s touch,
relying not upon lower mind crutch.

I serenade in my absent not beside you, your continual praise;
Your Father so righteous gathered the right things;
When standing in heaven;
He made you His darling;

Light Verse
Animating attention in thought rested stillness
Beauteous bliss beats ushers elixir of wellness
Cajoling head and heart to entwine as lovers
Decoyed not by deluded desire that hovers
Emerging from darkness emitting soul’s light
Forging a pact with heaven heightening delight
Garnering hitherto hidden wisdom by God’s grace
Hosting life flow with nonchalance, empty like space
Illuminating our core, holding truth in close embrace
Judiciously and mindfully treading softly on earth
Kiss of bliss renewing rapture in bubbling mirth
Luminescence of presence our quintessence
Magically manifesting love’s effervescence
Nameless, blameless soul, here for a sojourn
Osmotically draws magnetism, a benign bliss burn
Presence witnessing how our false self falls away
Quelling cravings of ego that causes us to sway
Recognising the truth of our Self in singularity
Sconce of love held firm in head-heart parity
Taming duality to get to crystal clear clarity
Understands that life is but a lucid dream
Venting emotes that our heart does stream
Waxing and waning as does the beauteous moon
Xenial vibrations assimilated that we joyously swoon
Yearning without desiring and seeking without craving
Zestful at all times, vibrance of bliss on heart engraving

Here and now this-ness, of what is as is
Oh hermit! Accept, embrace, celebrate!
Feel within, the elixirous bliss fizz
Here and now this-ness, of what is as is
Teasing, tingling, divine entwined caress
To the throb of rapture, in joy, gyrate
Here and now this-ness, of what is as is
Oh hermit! Accept, embrace, celebrate!

CONTINUAL LOOP
One God—three dimensions—giving and receiving—continual loop
a circle- the trinity- Jesus glorifying God—glorifying the Spirit
we too, should be connected in the same way
how do we love if it is only us each day
God is not static—saying “I told you so….”
He never stops moving, relating in a continual flow
craving relationships endlessly with others
Gods way of teaching us to exalt our brothers
A circle-the trinity- Jesus glorifying God—glorifying the Spirit
One God--three dimensions—giving and receiving—continual loop

Resolutely determined in hope
filled with a real purposeful will
to look and look and keep looking
till the Lord spoke with voice so still
That voice so full of authority
able to make you give Him praise
being to you a faithful friend
as you follow in all He says
In your walk with this awesome God
you find such closeness simply divine
as you experience His saving hand
being so secure making you shine
So in all of this comes your praise
you spread forth glory from your tongue
giving it all to the Lord of glory
heavenly tunes that you have sung
A blessed continual hope
that's your praise all in accord
filled with all of God's spirit
giving back to your blessed God
( "But I will hope continually, and
will yet praise thee more and more.")
-Psalms 71:14

As heart does wish, so it is,
getting to endless bliss fizz,
if we choose, without excuse,
making love our only muse.
Vibration variety
partaken in piety,
anchored not at any point,
that bliss of heart, we anoint.
We are spirit, we are light!
Boundless is our soul’s delight!
Each life breath, divine wonder!
Hark within, soundless thunder!

breath by breath as we are reborn
we sense soul’s vibrance stretch and yawn
there is nothing we need to do
watching the pulse of bliss renew
kundalini does so endow
grace divine in staid stillness slow
each hue’s new, like the morning dew
watching the pulse of bliss renew
space flickers and time holds its breath
when we imbibe love’s healing meth
with each breath we begin anew
watching the pulse of bliss renew
in the vast void, we are self-taught
becoming the flame which we sought
no life puzzles remain to sew
watching the pulse of bliss renew

Rapture,
bliss cascading,
pervades each pore of form,
tremors felt as bliss magnetism,
benign divine currents scintillating,
transfixing attention therein,
as we become pure love,
our each life breath,
rapture.

Why on earth would bliss effervescence pause
the bubbling renewal of love and light,
when vibrancy of presence needs no cause
to radiate in the void heart’s delight?
Be it in silence or midst or action,
innate to its nature, heart exults joy,
in time dissolved stillness gaining traction,
having no reason at all to feel coy.
Flowing gently, mode embrace and release,
pristine presence animates the vast void,
frolicking carefree as its heart does please,
for childlike heart is pure and unalloyed.
Come close dear heart to feel bliss beats renew ~
Each hue is new like the fresh mountain dew
