Salutations to The Divine Mother
Who envelopes us in a bliss shower
God’s divine essence aglow in our heart
Innate aliveness enabling each breath to start
Effulgence of a thousand suns dispelling darkness
Entwining our mind-body to the That oneness
Moment to moment in a joy continuum
There remaining no...

Flickering Awareness
what avail, awareness without freedom
why shines not, light of our luminescence
our heart yearns for more, we must overcome
we feel the rhythm within our bosom
joy experience in fleeting transience
what avail, awareness without freedom
each sensorium wishes to blossom
not part quintessence but full effulgence...

Just Stating the Obvious Poetry Contestenabled now for co-creation
our free will chooses
either blissful joy or agitation
within vibrant void of stillness
ego thoughts rested
that that is is bliss in fullness
clues abound we see them not
as each breath renews
fickle attention in fears fraught
we shine bright as love and light
bewildered by shadows
delusion veiling...

Trauma“joy or pain, neither seek nor resist
vaporise to become, a bliss mist”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turbid storms in realm of duality
Inevitably will bring to us pain
Fearful contractions mar serenity
Unless fickle ego, to rest is lain
Pain bemuses whilst joy hypnotises
Either way unstable is our fulcrum
Truth being life is...

EffervescenceA surreal, blissful calm engulfs form
Of deep peace emanating from within
Magnetism sublime, neither cool nor warm
Benign burn playing gently on our skin
Bliss mists both transcendent and immanent
Enliven by transmutation heart’s core
Ignition renewal thus permanent
Celebrates is-ness like never before
No labels may assign how love does pine
Rapturous...

EquilibriumSupreme Energy, fluid nothing, effervescent Om:
Structured universal life, matter’s unfolding cosmos;
Exhilarating evolution, expanding along the physicals.
Nirvana, fusion of the body, mind and soul in equipoise.
The body stays not, creation demolish not.
Material consciousness oscillates, Atma explores.
It is...

GoneI want gone the silence of injustice
The tarnation we insufferably carry along
I want gone the vile of ignorance
The dire ism we obstreperously preach
I want gone the cold night of boredom
The beauty of poetry it stole
I want gone YOU
The residuum of smile...

Death of a Loved OneDeath of a loved one
Fifty-five years! More or less! I did not know, then,
How, to your adieu, o mother, I said Amen;
Later, like the ache of an amputated limb,
Existence, like a gloom-glaring jail cell, grew grim...!
I know, from the frail earthen pitcher of physique,
Your soul,...

Power of Silence
Here we are and here we begin
in silence, going in within
Images bemuse, so we be still
feeling bliss tingle on our skin
Voids within form begin to fill
Nectar divine does overspill
We imbibe bliss by magnetism
shaped gently, upon the anvil
Head and heart meld in body prism
Vibrant...

ImaginationHence, I plunge into imagination to encumber suffering,
Athwart are the horizons wider than my pride,
I, one but three, such a symbolic trope, the Trinity,
A gorgeous exaltation gorged into voracity, itself.
The good is near me! The evil - inside of me!
The principles of distortion underlay the...

Ashtavakra Gita Verse 20:820.8
“Where is the knower?
Where is knowing?
Where is the known,
or knowledge itself?
Where is anything?
Where is nothing?
I am pure Awareness”
Verse revisited on 27-November-2022
Standing in, within yet apart from the template of space-time
Beyond all phenomenal worlds, resides consciousness sublime
Positioned at a centreless fulcrum, devoid of any...

Purity of Intent“Is each breath devoid of ego residuum?
Does love colour our aliveness continuum?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each
moment
is poignant,
in pregnant pause,
seeking our embrace,
suffused in tenderness,
infused with childlike wonder,
to fill the void with love and light.
Oh hermit! Let our glance be gentle,
that the recipient bursts forth in dance!
Moment to moment, all moments...

Idle Musingshow still is our stillness
and how empty is our emptiness
here & now, moment to moment entwined
if awareness within the linear time continuum
be not free of the last remnants of ego residuum
determiner of emptiness being an ego calibration
succumbing thus are captive...
