Best Octaves Poems
“joy, empathy, compassion
on an upward arc
an effervescence eternal
causes bliss ignition to start” ~ Unseeking Seeker
I unlock the crystal frames
of these honest eyes,
to the sizzling sparks ~
the seraphic wings
of iridescent effulgence,
swirling and swaying in silence
between spaces of rising stars.
It’s a priceless adoration,
this soul’s cosmic compassion
surfing in sync with persistent passion,
in lyrics that Kundalini light illustrates
to the chakras of nameless existence,
where material mists
do not manipulate my faceless muse,
nor impress the magnetic rhythm
of flames entwined in faultless faith…
O phoenix sun ~ peace pursuer ~
my clarity verbalized in calm vowels,
I cradle the intuitive
activator of awakening,
an ambience of amplified auroras
alive and aroused by the hypnotic scent
of ivory roses,
blooming within inner conscience.
For you are the glass sky
that stirs my spirit in patience ~
unclothing the confusions
that cloud the
cerulean of my heart’s eden,
for love is a reborn feeling,
enlightening the weariness of breeze
to return like empathetic embers
amidst the
air flowing in blissful balminess…
Tonight, I b r e a t h e
the resurgent radiance
of everlasting agape,
hold the warmth
of relentless rippling romanticism,
as fingers quiver in quiescence,
as thoughts place their trust
in erasing erratic errors of ego,
that once blinded me from attaining
the divine affection
of desire draped in the formless
flowering lotus blaze,
listening as this ink release
the rhythmic runes of resistance,
engrossed in effervescence eternal,
to feel the
fuel of fragranced illumination…
So move through the pulse
of these metaphors
and alliterated verses,
melt into the unmetered mellifluence
of magical monologues,
so effortlessly,
whilst intoxicated by the stimulation
of deep awareness ~
O beloved dawn, I am the manifestation
of ineffable metamorphosis,
I speak in coherent reveries of peace,
wearing the tiara of truth,
crowned through
woven zephyrs of zestful trust,
as you now remain,
sculpted into these amorous veins
like an unreadable engraving,
a pristine presence;
heaven handwritten,
only my conscious sighs can render…
This garden, this realm of love's sweet perfume
will fill the fragrant cup of compassion
to be warm lovers that our arms consume
with tender eyes of inviting passion
where we'll cross the bridge of pleasant essence
like two doves finding peace in morning light
that warmly bows to our joyous presence
and the substance of love's nourished delight
where we'll absorb what life asks to endure
and share it all without fear or question
that will allow our love to be secure
this jeweled bliss held in our possession
we'll reap devotion from our affection
and find fulsome praise in love's perfection
I studied liturgical theology in seminary.
Even so, I was struck by the simplicity
of Robin Wall Kimmerer's First Nation observation,
"Ceremony
is a vehicle
for belonging--
to a family,
to a people,
and to a land."
But,
what is necessary difference,
if any,
between ceremony and life,
between liturgy and loving words
and actions,
between medicine
and healing therapy?
Language
is a vehicle
for RightBrain sacred personal meaning
and LeftBrain exegetical purpose--
for co-arising ethology of Earth's sacred creation
and ecology of evolving and revolving,
spiraling lands and oceans
speaking in plant through harvest voices,
then Advent silence in-between
this great secular-sacred nutritional cycle
and divide.
Language of four-dimensional RealTime Seasons
with sacred and secular co-arising dynamic Reasons,
cooperative purpose
for gift economies
Flowing back toward (0)Soul Prime Relational meaning
for bilateral revolutions
of exterior Yang winds
covering interior Yin co-bilateral evolutions
of Earth's Sacred Baptismal Waters
Water minds
flowing
winding bodies.
Elder Sacred Right
speaks through ceremonies
of cooperative light,
ethology of Western Grace
and Eastern Karma,
co-arising Sacred Ecology
of polypathic love,
surpassing any creed,
language,
ceremony
Both (0)Sum Prime Relational Source
but also divinely sacred expanding love,
more perfectly cooperative Unions,
radical ecopolitical Welfare
of a species
within Earth's Great BiCameral Tribes
Speaking sacred Right meaning
and secular Left purpose
of restoring co-redemptive global vocations,
ego- with eco-therapies,
meditative medications,
bilateral secular-sacred co-intelligent consciousness.
Some of this
goes a bit deeper and yet wider
than what I love most
about Ecological Liturgy Studies.
So,
consider our (0)Soul BiCameral Source,
breathing Yang meaning and purpose in and up,
exhaling Yin ceremony and therapy out and down
Left 4dimensional SpaceTime Special Case,
Right Sacred PolyPathic OtherWise.

Love warms as a cozy fire,
with dancing flames that mesmerize-
evoking heartfelt thoughts to rise
Love grows as a blooming plant
with stems that reach out to the light-
uplifting all within its sight
Love glows as a sunlit ray
that brightens all touched by its glow-
and fading clouds that hide below
Love swirls as a boundless brook
rolling around each stone and curve-
endlessly on its path to serve
Love soothes gently as rippling waves
that kiss the sand beneath the sun-
sparked by the moon when day is done
Love bathes in hope every day
presents fresh ways for it to dwell-
in soul and heart to heal them well
Love survives the upward climb
to reach that prized spiritual goal-
when paths of soul and heart are whole
Life cements the gift of love
received and shown in many ways-
a gift of God, a gift we praise
Joy, empathy, compassion
On an upward arc
An effervescence eternal
Causes bliss ignition to start.
Octaves of Love 5-15-26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`````
Octaves of Love
Between the lines and staves
Touching the finger of eternity’s sacrifice
Pure sounds blend
As the breath of bubbling joy
Vibrates
With clear notes
In unison.
Clad with compassion
And trembling in frequencies of empathy
A new identity surges
In untarnished affinity
Into auras of flames and winter moons
And shared sunsets
Not trapped but breathing
In this fluttering portal.
Ascending scales sound
Stretch from one rhapsody to the next
Reaching into
A hollow between hallowed resonance
And the space where breath births
Rising in chromatic intervals
Toward consummation
In grace notes and evolving hues
Of perfect fifths.
Molten moonbeams
And swirling wind stars
Refine the motifs of the ageless composer
That coax the vagabond
Into harmonious vibrations
From a seed of irritation
Into a pearl
Of sheer transcendent transformation
Andante released
Into eternity’s resolution, delicate syncopation.
Lost, oh must I write of common, autumn leaves?
Or, Mom’s hot, fragrant apple pie?
Of my lovely, cobalt, silky blouse.
Or raindrops sprinkling on my house?
How to pen of that which really means?
Common nothings leave me dry!
Like a lost, pointltless poetess mouse,
Worse, a bland and boring souse?
Am I here to speak my truth or just what it seems?
It makes this poetess,take a frustrated sigh.
Maybe in books, I should just browse?
Or put down my pen, and take a stroll out of the house?

Quatrain. a,a,b,b
of the chakras seven, where energies play
prior to refraction of the rainbow’s hues
the zone where polarities commingle
glows God’s light in heart’s womb
light of a star, viewed from afar
the bubbling joy of children at play
building sand castles on the sea shore
soul’s smile at morn when stretch and yawn
pristine snow flakes mark birth of empathy
enabling us to hold the hand of a beggar
the agendaless vibrance of innocence
hastens to forgive errant brothers
coming of age, compassion dawns
the robe of a pope, the symbol of purity
recognising underlying unity of the universe
love’s luminosity expands beyond all horizons
bliss magnetism pulsates in mind-body prism
we become love’s flame that has no name
touched by spirit our eye is now single
pulse mirroring heartbeat of God

Like notes an octave apart
so similar to the ear
are emotions that touch our heart
like songs so lovely to hear
With empathy and respect
and in tune with the Golden Rule,
we sweetly can interject
love that sparkles like light on a jewel.
With benevolence for all mankind,
great happiness we can ignite.
Octaves of love may we sing
in unison with great delight.

~With apologies to Elizabeth Barett Browning for using her,
"How Do I Love Thee" line that shines in comparison to mine.
~ ~ ~
You asked how much I love you.
That is something I simply cannot do.
I cannot count the compassionate ways,
through years, months, and the days
when love has carried us through.
I cannot measure the depth, breadth or height
of joy that burns in us; a flame in the night,
brighter than the glow of any comet's tail,
stronger than any windblown canvas sail.
We are the threads that hold our seam tight.
For you my heart has ever the urgent need.
Some would label my love as a sinful greed,
but without you I would feel only great grief
from which the bane of death would be a relief.
In lonely empathy, tears will spill as if I bleed.
Both body and soul without you, I would lose
if from me you were taken, if God should choose.
I would call your name with my last winded breath
aware that I "... I shall love thee better after death."*
Measure my love for you? I must refuse.
Writing about effervescent romance in past tense
creates a malaise in my heart, dismally immense.
There is a restless haunting when I lay sleeping,
an abysmal ache that wakes me with eyes weeping.
It's a loneliness against which there is no defense.
Some things in life cannot be counted; shining stars,
how many sad love songs were played on guitars.
Blissful love should never be attempted to be measured.
It's a scintillating gift to be most ardently treasured.
Never should it be caged or imprisoned behind bars.

they were advised to

Clear points of ending and finishing

from one song to another
A segue is often without a break
in the music or performance
some conductors hire people specializing
in this field to ensure a
proper position
of professionalism taking on
the challenge gives the Liaison
more input on production

Love
graded,
joy bubbling,
then transiting,
on heart opening,
to empathy spacial;
it’s outpouring radial.
In time we get to compassion;
warmth of love steadily outpouring,
with vibrant bliss within thus pulsating.
Over time, something within falls away.
Inner silence becomes our mainstay.
Hollowed form pure and pristine,
exists to live the love dream,
as joy within does stream,
an invite to merge
in the bliss surge,
radiant,
aglow,
here.

—Unseeking Seeker
Before we turn the key of bliss,
before pedal accelerates,
dirty window, a reminisce,
where tepid smog and self abates.
Practicing fingers’ float with joy,
reaching outward to emphasize.
A see-you-note-raised-sigh enjoy;
poignant compassion with the eyes.
Vitamin see delirious -
bubbly lyrics; a champagne high.
To play the note of serious
with truth and love, and not a lie.
Eternity in mind; no jokes.
It’s not to satisfy your self
and pat your back, what’s done for folks.
Left hand sees not right hand; herself.
We join with God; how blessed are we.
He allows us, each, company.
When miracles happen, the glee
is shared, in bliss-accompany.
Wind in hair, godspeed key impact.
A melody of unity.
Looking upward, where nothing’s lacked.
Don’t miss the opportunity!
Skin-deep beauty, sure, is an attraction;
Perspectives, yet, must pass beyond the face.
Though fondness can tinge each human action,
Pleasure shouldn't be the goal of life's race.
As buds bloom forth into lovely flowers,
Shouldn't romance pave paths to partnership?
When companionship cools us like showers,
Compassion beads—like honey from combs—drip.
As banks of ponds and lakes of eras break,
And stagnant waters (good and bad) mingle
With streams and brooks in an unending ache...
One's deep divine self does not stand single.
Our wordless words take flight beyond the sight,
Where selfish shadows yield to infinite height.
When you repent and ask the Savior in
You will sing the first octave note, "Do" which is Love
Out of Love you will sing "Re" because Joy
Surely will follow thee
Peace will be on your path so sing, "Mi" all you please
If things go wrong, you will receive Patience
Then you can wait and give others time
Which will pat you on the back and you'll sing "Fa"
because you are halfway there to an octave sung
Then "So" ushers in Kindness which begins to flow
You'll treat your fellowman with compassion
Can we humans attain the note, "La"
Where Goodness becomes our nature
If so, we are nearly there
We might can sing, "Ti" and remain Faithful
Gentleness can begin to flow
We'll sing "Do" above middle C
Then join a choir where
Filled with Self-control of our human base nature
The Octave that flows out of Love
Filled with the Holy Spirit's presence
Makes the most beautiful sound
Amen
