Best Readymade Poems


Premium Member Befriending silence

If the magic of the now eludes us, 
it signals we are as yet fast asleep 
and caught in a mind trap, dark fears nonplus, 
deadening our sentience to love's bliss beep.
Ignorance borne of stupor is our sin, 
whose roots lie in attachment to this form, 
so to exit trance, the way to begin, 
is to manifest within, a bliss storm.
Looking at thought forms as objects abstract, 
our soul's nonchalant eye and tranquil heart,
disallows these images to distract 
our focus to make bliss ignition start.
Befriending the void, we make it our home, 
our consciousness aligned with gong of Om.

Our consciousness aligned with gong of Om, 
ever present silence becomes the norm, 
whence following scent of love, we so roam, 
choosing with past beliefs, not to conform.
No sooner we relinquish our thought crutch,
shining as pure awareness, self-aware,
we imbibe clear wisdom, simply by touch,
as with love and light, our head and heart pair.
Soul’s choice to discard each and every ism,
enables heart to focus on our role,
which is to ignite the mind-body prism,
filling it with God’s light, scriptures extol.
As we can see, there’s nothing to be done;
our Self is living light, like yonder sun.

Our Self is living light, like yonder sun
and we see this clearly, when thoughts recede,
knowing now that as we so come undone,
we’re always complete, when love takes the lead.
The table is laid for bliss readymade,
if we but choose to trust the ways of God
and assigning love no grade, gently wade
in a sea of love that leaves our heart awed.
The path is easy and not difficult,
so dear souls, let us now embrace the truth,
lighting lamp of love, rejecting each cult,
beholding our true Self, here now forsooth.
Get ye, oh hermit, aboard God's bliss bus, 
if the magic of the now eludes us.

Premium Member In blissful repose

Fragrance of a rose, within our heart grows,
soul feeling each sigh, with a mindful eye,
blissful in the boat, that God Himself rows,
flowing in free float, bidding fears goodbye.

Love’s readymade, in God’s heavenly glade,
where vibrant and aglow, in stillness slow,
with debts repaid, in stream of joy we wade,
soul steps retrace, till who we are we know.

There’s nothing we do as bliss beats renew,
treating with affection, both friend and foe,
our aura glistens like fresh morning dew,
as breath by breath we feel God’s grace endow.

Simple is the path, we so tread upon ~
Weaving thread of love, each moment reborn

End Line : Oh For a Smile .

Some , believe that rich folk have made    ... IT

And never need worry about what a thing  ....COSTS

Sadly , many of these people have absolutely..NOTHING

Except the trappings ,  which  they  cling     ... TO

Poor me ,with just a fun pen and a readymade ..SMILE .

Self Imposed

Dedicate to human rights Mr. Anna Hazare activist that fought for free corrupt Indian society. 
this poem is a result of my disappointment.
Inhabitable lineal consanguinity, paraphernalia under the subordination.
A resourceful visible Bond, to colonize the characteristic of vocation.
To command inhabited Living, to obtain Ledger of human grace,
Aristocrat, Barbarian excommunication, excellence of allocation.
Mom says,’ Son’ go and sleep’ rising Sun brings bounded calculation’.
 
Intensive, restraint viscosity reliance, consciousness of annihilation,
A grain roaster, provocative nobler, a big bundle of convocation.
Bubbling well being blazed meandering futurist contrivance face,
A winnover shabby, recommital mumpish, a rational versification.
A readymade self imposed Leader fatal solubility calcumination.
 
Mum says,’ Son, ‘go and sleep, optimist opportunist evaluating eternity’.
Mom never says,’ son, ‘go and fight’ recarnation is a mean formality’.

The Curse of the Face-Book

The course of Face-book 

On her birthday she received 
Flowers, 
Cards,  
Gifts,  
Cakes, with candles on and
Readymade Phrases 
Her room was empty and 
No friends rang, they had
Like: 
Flowers,
Cards,
Gifts, 
And cakes with candles on 
Gone virtual.

Premium Member Blank Slate

What a wonder! Nothing was written! Absolutely free!
Bee, sea, tree - I can create whatever I want to see.
Receptively blank as the almighty designed it well,
It can in each sketch His miraculous mysteries spell...!

Tabula rasa, John Locke calls it - no readymade concepts,
Like nectar in a flower, facts fill in all its contents;
The environment like my mother nurses my actions,
My caring and rearing enable all my attractions...!

I am like a natural child, devoid of compulsions,
My growing intelligence expulses all convulsions;
The Blank Slate - nature's hardware - analyzes all awareness,
My contemplations - software - set them rightly in fairness...!!!

A Burning Candle

A healthy ray never touched a burning candle,
But the day light was flashing on my bed,
The dark shadows were holding a bundle.

The cat was still sleeping when I raised my head,
But a parrot was tearing and flying in a cage,
A milk man knocked at the door and left bread.

I forgot last night to mark on my page,
A cattle was waiting to burn the steam,
I made a sandwich and mixed lovely sage.

When I went to town somebody broken my head beam,
Nothing was available without any appointment,
She asked me to come next week when rubbing cream.

This week we have no appointment she made a hint,
But I afraid if police stop me to night,
Or someone understood that a motorbike on went.

A New light was cost to me scrapyard was cheap for light,
If I get myself that is cheap if readymade has cost worry,
I opened the nuts and get it free for my height.

I came back home and replaced it I felt free.
Tension isn’t good to me why do I suffer botheration?
No needs to waste for wait do it if you can carry.

Premium Member Here Now Begin

Here now begin, a mindful stance
Moment to moment thus 
Tranquil head and heart in balance
Going where God takes us

Benign bliss throbs invade
Each pore of form pervade
Love and light readymade 

All is within
Here now begin

Union of Sanders Soviet Republic Ussr

Union of Sanders Soviet Republic USSR

There is a union of socialists who like Sanders
Phallic symbol of those who are philanderers
That have come up with a huge cavalcade
Of many solutions seeming to be readymade.

When things happen and are in much doubt
Put is a disk so some answers will pop out
After many things were over-exaggerated
While in long line for years have waited.

Who did you think could sound so dumb?
When into cheery plush pie put in a thumb
Would have gone crazy and plumb nuts
Or be an idiot who has true grit and guts.

May be many idiots running all around
Can tell by voice having a strange sound
Learned a lot of intelligence they are lacking
Instead of speaking they started quacking.

Incidentally and by the way on a big bay
Many of my gutless poems are on display
Of people finding times to be difficult and hard
To them should be sending a sympathy card.

Instead of my many poems trying to abuse
Forward them and my name to MSNBC News
And also if they happen to be in the know
Try to have them put me on their TV show.

You could forward my poem to MSNBC News
if you would want to. The more the merrier 
even though they are a commercial carrier.

Premium Member Divine Romance

Rapture that does not fade,
which does not ebb with time,
sublime, steadfast and staid,
makes for a lovely rhyme ~
love within, readymade.

Rapture that does not fade,
the divine bliss current,
wherein pure of heart wade,
by being just present,
whence fears to rest are laid.

Rapture that does not fade,
is ours for the asking,
in God’s heavenly glade,
without mukti-tasking,
for He comes to our aid.

Rapture that does not fade,
bliss caress intimate 
that may never be frayed,
where love is love’s soulmate,
thereby never betrayed.

Whatsapp Christianity Made In China

I
Capitalists sell prayers and hope
From China, PRC, to you and me
In images and words: forward these
To all your contacts - such positivity
Yet we hear, embedded spyware 
Comes with readymade China prayer
To Jesus or more often, "the Universe"

II
LORD, I owe my all to thee
My two children from a first marriage
And my current, S. African family
Blended families have challenges
Yet, You allow us all to share (Time)
 - often at the last minute, LOL
As some youth seem to upset a schedule
To see they still have "love & first place" -
Jesus, help our youth, parents, guardians
Without thy Hand, we will fail more
In duty, stewarship, responsibility 
To people, planet, parents-to-be
Bless this Day, this year; save us, purify us for GLORY ( amen)

One pastor spoke against "fwd-ing" messages
From WhatsApp, without knowing the source
In prayer, the character of the intercessor
Is as important as Trinity, God, subject of PRAYER

Lady In Waiting

She sits in her room in a dark corner,
Just a hint of Sun through the shade!
Not a sound in sight, for they all fade.
Her dreams rile a self-centered scorner.

With so little light it can’t get much warmer,
She sits and she waits to become readymade.
Her debt to society has been collected as paid.
By herself she became a self scorned mourner!

It was just another day,
And another existence,
But in a whole new way!
Simplified self resistance!

It is Her earnest way of tackling His wile baiting!
Prompting a dueled birth of His Lady in Waiting!

Premium Member Awaken

By force divine we are acted upon,
optimised for swift ascent of our soul,
wherein each life breath ushers a new dawn,
fulfilling beauteously our life role.

With the table laid for joy readymade,
there then is nothing that we need to do,
because God Himself hastens to our aid,
provided our heart’s pure like morning dew.

Life’s a maze that continues to amaze,
where if we stagnate nowhere, self-aware,
simply pausing to turn inward our gaze,
poised in silence, with love and light we pair.

Recognising we’re soul indwelling form,
we become the centre of love’s bliss storm.

Terrorism

Terrorism

I want to know
The definition of Terrorism

The Eagle shadow which makes fear to the time
Points his finger at the weak
And says – a terrorist

When they don't get slept with their own evils
They remember- the blamed face 
And breaks once
Says - ‘Damn terrorist!’

In a slept city
When the ruler is kissing the lips of the fourth 
Or same numbered girlfriend
At that time
There must have been an explosion
Yes, his awakening become terrible
Fire suddenly rises in the lustful eyes
And rumbles –
Who has the opposite face color?
He is the number one terrorist

'Terrorism'
 -Became a trade of readymade spectacles

Where is the answer?
Why does Bin Laden awaken so often?
Why is Saddam tattooing 'an America' on his genitals?

I want to understand terrorism

Is it right? 

One needs head in the revenge of cut finger 
Became a pacifist

And next denied it 
Became terrorist
This time
I am not able to know 
'The terrorism'

I want to know
The definition of 'Terrorism'
