Best Narrowness Poems


Premium Member Ethereal Lanterns
As the holy season commemorates revelations of scriptures,
Sacred flame burning within, reinvigorates soul’s intellect,
Steering away from the fallible, toward realms of perfect,
Away from servitude of wealth, to caring for less-fortunate;

Empowering wisdom, vying sapience of enlightenment,
Inspiring collaboration in sanctity of spiritual exchange,
Rejecting overtures nescient, engaged in...

Premium Member A World Without War
Peace and unity sing in harmony, echoing worldwide,
When acts of humility replace revenge-infused pride,
When narrowness of mind, naked ambitions subside,
When nations of goodwill, stand together side-by-side.

No inconsolable tears, flooding grief in mothers’ eyes,
No gloomy dawns rise, in smoke of war on sunny skies,
Clamors of hungry,...

Premium Member What Is Love
Beginning with what it is not
Being certainly not transience we can slot

Calling a spade a spade
Love not an exchange or trade
‘I love you provided you reciprocate’
‘If your look is not endearing, my love will abate’

Moving deeper
We see ourselves forgiving the ‘sinner’
Useful no doubt for self...

Cannot Abide
wind always knows 
it limitation
as it writes its swirling
scripts upon threadbare roof.
lamentations for the
fields of empty prairies
as the dry leaves rustle
in strings of grass… 

i do not know
my boundaries
the geographical shapes
of my darkness
for life
has been left empty
with only a puppy
of narrowness
to feed
scraps of plain verse...

Stuck In a Rut
We’ve created life that makes us see each other indifferently
In your world, I am an intruder while in mine, you are the coarseness. 
Making conflicts that are war like with little understanding of why we even came to know each other. 

Wherever my element throws...

Premium Member The Forgiveness Trap
The sense of injury we feel,
owing to belied expectation,
by ego thought spirals amplified,
leads to our suffering and agitation.

Thus arises the real reason to forgive,
for us to heal our wounded heart.
So, is forgiveness selfish?
Let the debate start!

A flying wasp stings
or a stray dog bites us.
We feel...

Premium Member Measure of Stillness
Qualitative
And quantitative
Self appraisal
Humorously casual
Of our stillness quotient
Moment to moment ...

First the qualitative
The depth meditative
Thoughts & body still
By non-self will
Imbibing the love energy 
Of current divine in synergy 
Is uplifting
Consciousness enhancing
And yet but the beginning
Of our journey enlightening 
Then going in deeper
The ascension steeper
Requires dissolution
Total annihilation...

I drift away,

Vanished Flowers
My distant seas
Flooded the land
In the night.
My bright fires
Smell burned nostrils.
Pain.
Distorted are
The kisses.
My warm dreams
Frosted by
Extinct stars
And oaths
Which only the constellations
understand.
There they are
Like curses.
The thief took away the peace
Kept in a vortex ‘till then.
Frozen reflections sleep
Vanished flowers
Through irony
Heal hell.

The wounds elicited hopes
To
Exhausted
stranded
onto the rocks of...

Premium Member Our Autobiography
finding ourselves here
awareness self-aware
ensouling form feeble 
sensory touch external
our lower mind stirring
found ego urges rising
oft against conscience 
throttling our innocence 
reinforcing this torture
veiling love hues subtler 
until we became dead
going where desires led
in cyclic joy and sorrow
fearful of the morrow
anchored in narrowness 
living in stuporousness...

Premium Member Krama: the Energy Path
before we amble
muse upon the preamble
that entity ascension seeking
is encased in mind body matrix limiting

we have for engagement two polarities 
external turbidity internal serenity
former is domain of our ego
latter love osmosis slow

on an as is where is basis 
we begin with our body chassis

The Cost of Zambia's Pettifoggery
We are quarreling over a graveyard of great ideas
Wandering under skies filled with flying political spears
Ideas are rotting under the soils dug by the unscrupulous
We buried our true identity and our mourning is pretentious

The commoners with good intentions are called riffraffs
The undereducated with concerns are...

Believe
Once upon my childhood, for God’s love there had to be fear

His comfort I sought only arms length to please

As I repeated Acts of Contrition on my knees

Through my grandmother’s glasses I could see her glare


I knew God was above and when we die so...

How To Become a Facist
How to Become a Fascist

Clan thinking and group thinking are always dangerous 
Our loyalty to the group we belong to betrays us
Waving of flags makes us think we have the right on our side
We are blind to the downside of this certainty
We stop considering an...
