Best Distilled Poems

One has to like the price,
which never fluctuates.
It floats,
like some suspended orb
imparted from another heaven, perhaps...
itself a consciousness unknown
and undefiled. 
It is the good the ages seek,
still there before our eyes.

Were there a formula,
a prize to touch or taste,
it would not occupy the metaphor
of grace...

Words offer us distilled emotion.
Many feelings expressed in a poem.
A gift that can work like a potion.

When words are read we don't feel alone.
Verse can transport us through space and time.
Many feelings expressed in a poem.

Memories of flowers or the taste of lime.
A first kiss...

ESSENCE DISTILLED
someone mentioned
  as a matter of course
 hitherto

an undiscovered &
  instantly disclosed
then duly
prepared
yet
previously  ignored
ingeniously
remaining
faithful
  with good reason

distinguishing confidence
in contemporary
  interpretations
previously concealed
thoughts &explanations

this deception
  of a struggle
or challenge
  to the reportoire
a
 presence& veracity
significant
  yet innocent

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma...

Christ's Message Distilled for Dummies
(You Might Not Like It)

Christ’s message distilled is we all are born sinning,
deserving of Hell (1) (but for Grace the Cross pays for),
your pride in “your good acts” the proof of your fall.
The “good” in your life is a gift that...

Time spent with a baby
Is like liquid that's distilled,
For the bad has all but vanished
And contentment is fulfilled.

As a Nana, I'm rewarded
With the giggles and the smiles
And the outside world seems far away - 
At least a million miles.

For the two of us together
(And with...

Gentle soul stirrings set into motion
tremors orbiting omnipresent light,
distilled by love, regulates commotion
they may cause to mitigate heart's delight.

The litmus test at all times being love,
unless we recognise that all are one,
our intent may not be like the peace dove,
for our lower mind has not...

Like anguish, distilled from tears
beer levies a costly price.
And arouses sleeping fears
as an elixir of vice.

This ubiquitous drink can
temporarily numb pain.
And yet, since first brewed by Man,
in excess it warps the brain.

Alcohol’s lonely refrain
drowns out melodies of love.
And though it’s hard to abstain
it oft turns...

That that is, is as is, hiding in plain view and yet unless we renew essence of presence in childlike innocence, we cannot savour the flavour of the nectar divine till we choose to align. Thus resting thought turbidity, we nestle in tranquil serenity. In...

"The darkness awaits me,
For there is no moon to see

Just billions of stars,
And all the planets, including Mars

Are there to greet me,
And insure my dreams agree

My hopes be fulfilled,
From this day distilled

All that was special for me,
And to dream more of it to see

For the...

Incomplete metamorphosis of distilled adolescent...

therefore he characterizes himself as an anomaly...any idea why?

Mortified, petrified, stultified, et cetera sheltered, 
and mortally wounded prepubescent,

I consider myself
analogously buttressed, cocooned,
garrisoned (for bing keeler), 
hardened, insulated,
where cell baited jumping frog
o' Montgomery County ne'er
went leaving larvae stage,
now no divine providential
power can...

Continuum of tranquil calm
Thought rested stillness 
Cessation of volition
Rippleless awareness 

Ever deepening quietude 
Aliveness vibratory
Time stretched silence
Devoid of memory imagery 

Subject-object relationship 
Distorted reflection 
The canvas is contorted
By interpretation 

This-ness here now reality
Childlike surrender
Imbibing each nuance by touch
In an aspect of wonder

free will signals from God separation
yet source, is in each life form resident
we rely upon hearts resonation
with the omnipresent divine current

innate aliveness engaged in no chase
surfing sensations with nonchalant ease
relying solely upon divine grace
flowing ever gently as does the breeze

all acts are done through us...

intent replacing resistance
energising head-heart balance
ceasing to size, we vaporise 
beholding each breath in surprise 
exuberance of innocence

In meditation
If as a doing
Who is the doer
Thus interfering
Get rid of him now

In cessation
Save awareness 
There is no one
Present within

Stillness speaks
In whispers
Listen in

Be thus 
Tranquil

Calm
