Best Spake Poems
So spake simple Simon
Imagine head capped with currents of bliss,
enabled by God’s magnetism at play,
ushering rapture where nothing’s amiss,
renewing itself thus, day after day.
In the vast, vibrant void, soul makes its stand,
discarding every conditioned belief,
free from fear fetters that we understand,
silence alone lets us turn a new leaf.
Soma nectar drips, our attention grips,
that the bubble of delusion may...

Thus Spake Utilitas
And so it was in the time of high charges for the governed
upon entering the Narthex of the church
of the Cold Blue Static Balls of Charge,
powerful PUBLICUS UTILITAS proclaimed:
“Make way; for I’m the journeyman directorate
of the all powerful Red Hot Orange Conglomerate,
here to ground your independent shorts
unto...

So Spake Simple Simon
Lasting joy, as in bliss that’s eternal,
is a quest upon which all souls embark,
found only in staid silence internal
and this dear friends, is the honest truth stark.
Desire pursuit in the world external
plunges us in dungeons of despair dark,
so unless we choose to slow down thought flow,
tossed like a leaf in the wind, we’ll feel low.

Thus Spake the Forsaken Snowman
Inside out this world I know:
It’s a world upside down—so.
Am I upside down?
Give me partner my own
Let them, and I will kowtow .

so spake an unknown sage
Innate urge to ink soul’s emote,
requires we agree to free float
in a void where thoughts don’t exist
and yet what truth is, we can quote.
Stillness a tale, with a strange twist,
speaking of how we’re by God kissed,
potent power of magnetism,
felt vividly as a bliss mist.
Beyond knowings of any ism,
graced by an unknown mechanism,
we are transformed as...

Thus Spake Tao - (Triple Tanka)
Love cannot be bought
Peace cannot be commanded
Silence is the key -
When actions or the lack of
Speak out with silent wisdom
When man understands
All life has an equal part
Has a primal share
Then with unselfish ardor
Goes about his chosen work
Always outpouring
Never commanding silent
Not seeking greatness
Greatness lay in humbleness
A man's deeds speak for...

Thus Spake Lacklustre
You fake a smile to fool your friends
but you will never fool yourself.
Burn under the neon sun,
strobe flashes life before your eyes.
Poisoned with the shallow ideals,
preached to you by hungry chancers.
In your glass of deep dark red
will you find the answer?...

The Withered Tree Spake
"The withered tree spake"
Battered and bruised - yet I stand,
firmly rooted deep down;
seasons have gone by - blowing hot and cold,
yet, I live without a frown!
Leaves go dry - they shed off and fly,
'nay me' - the firm trunk I am!
Here to stay - with a dig in the heels,
showing character...

Spake
Do say my words
Touch your heart
Uplift your spirits
And stops time
Please love me enough
To stay
Don't turn from me
Don't walk away
Do say I am a beauty
Of your eye that you
Will love me for a lifetime that those women don't
Have a chance with you
That I truly belong to
You
Do say that as your wife
When you're sick I...

So spake simple Simon
path any, what is pointed to is this
simply enter silence, stop flow of time
that God’s magnetism may fill us with bliss
and vibrant heart heeds the sublime love chime
relinquishing each conditioned belief
softening attention and gentling touch
on its own consciousness turns a new leaf
breath by breath thanking God ever so much
layer by layer, the false falls...

simple shift
desires sift
soul uplift
make thoughts slow
fears let go
feel love’s glow
heart’s delight
love and light
day and night

So Spake Simple Simon
the subset of a set
cannot step outside it
unless it first disappears
a fish caught in a net
cannot escape entrapment
unless it becomes the water element
likewise we cannot know God
unless we first extinguish our ego
completely relinquishing lower mind

So spake simple Simon
Between action and inaction,
lies the optimal middle way,
of soul’s vibrance gaining traction,
invoking in time, divine grace.
With silence as our default mode,
feeling how polarities merge,
ineffable bliss fills our form
and as we sing to God an ode,
bliss magnetism begins to surge,
sweeping us away in love’s storm.
The simple shift from head to heart
and thereafter melding with space,
in time...
