Best Illumined Poems


Illumined Tapestry
Circled light from angels' faces dawning
traces the darkening way all feet must tread,
reflecting forgotten silhouettes on rain wet streets.

Old city lights beam bright pathways through the gloom,
resplendent pools shimmering luminous enchantment,
mirroring tear washed memories of distant pasts.

Buried beneath regret-slick brick roadways,
specters gather round glowing gas...

Premium Member Illumined By God
Illumined by God thru the Scriptures’ light
Led to do the Lord’s will with the Spirit’s might
Loved so much around the Saviour’s compassion-delight
Upheld for faith-driven good works’ height
Moved toward grateful worship, joyously bright
Imparted with divine nature that is godly and right
Nourished by grace* and mercy day...

Illumined Pleasures
Le passé 
Mon enfance 
Eileen deviating from my path 
Some eggs waiting in the sink 
I felt the cold eating my naked feet 
As I killed my last cigarette 
Ma mémoire s’envole 
Vers les horizons 
De mon enfance 
De ma mère 
La silhouette d’Eileen 
Surfaces...

Premium Member Illumined Intent
Pure intent, by love energised
Destiny materialised
Power of our co-creation
Our heart’s desires soon realised 

We start with purification 
Ending doubts of separation
Becoming still before release
Of potent reverberation

Love caress playful, is at ease
Manifests as heart does so please
Mindful that seeds of joy sown grow
Enlivened by soul spawned...

Night donned sparkle of moonbeam, 
drizzled from sky when it gleamed
on the cascade of stardust,
draping my wasteland dreams flushed.

Lost in desert with no glare,
I saw in you the pole star,
took me to your aurora,
sank in longing patina.

Like the sky your silk face blushed
in my dream...

Our differentiated perception,
arising from stuporous awareness;
unsteady stance, cause of agitation,
oscillating between light and darkness,
self-blocks our innate state of blissfulness.
Flicker-free flame, pure heart, devoid of stain,
renews attention again and again,
melding thus with the flow, in stillness slow,
erst ego fears and desires, to rest lain,
revealing soul luminous,...

The glow of the tree
So pretty, immerses me
In the tranquil transparency
Of colorfully illumined clemency....

Playfulness childlike
causes bliss to spike,
if our heart clings not
to decaying rot.

Embrace and release,
flowing like the breeze;
no rear view mirror,
hence no heart tremor.

Waves of the ocean
cause no commotion,
as they just flow on,
each moment reborn.

Feeling heartbeats sing,
to what should we cling 
for each pulse is new
like the...

Each cry of affirmation 
an outpouring 
purity of intent
outcome determining

If the desire be selfless
non-judging 
from the heart
is then Gods will shining
