Don't ever say never
Keep up the endeavour
Never know what challenge arises
Life is full of many surprises
Consistency results in much satisfaction
Don't be misled by any distraction
Many rewards come from constant persistence
It blissfully fulfils our earthly existence
A house isn't a home without cats.

A bright breath shapes the languid air
into a sweet melody
in tune with nature's elements -
gentle breezes, birds, and trees,
connecting a calm heart, within,
to the world, evoking joy.
Detailed explanations leaves awe at the door!
Knowing the trick, kills the magic!
So leave space for a little mystery between the lines.
A pause where imagination can breathe.
A veil of ignorance to mist the mountains,
to shroud and soften the stark reality,
of the billions of stars above,
blinking without the context of meaning.
The Elemental Cosmic Druid,
Stirred by booming winds,
The Druid descends from stars.
From Nature, he flows,
Skyward and free,
Soaring blissfully,
In elemental harmony
They conspire to trigger my ideas best.
Blissful assurance as the gold orb surmise.
Through form and structure they deliver my taste
and await to see how time might surprise.
Sweet is the symphony that promises bring
Life in time forces pleasure and pain to ring .
Heavenly rains set concrete glass panes to tune
Of an unknown past, in Memory’s plume.
***************
Withering with time it dries---fragments of dying passion.
Tears froth falsehood, shattered trust reflect ugly burns.
Love grows cold, and anger spikes shades in fashion
Spirit suffers promises in earthern urns!
What fever can escalate the throbbing pain?
What ecstasy colour gratitude’s disdain?
Seething wrath flooding Serenity’s chest
Drugged hopelessness is then set to rest.
********************
I sit silent to meditate
gather my thoughts breathe in and out
~ the world pauses for peace

Entertaining guaranteed
The flow of the aroma
Play sounds of a violin made from Cremona
Once we reach the end up ahead
We will come out brand new my friend!
days in stillness
I found you spying on me
with love I sought you in my times of trouble
who can remember bliss?
under the stars I know you live in this world the same as me
Swiftly dancing I yearn for your attention
in my times of great peace you dance for my attention
how well you move how sweet it is to feel your energy pulling at me
now I know to let you be till you dance again for my attention
away I must now focus on something else lest my energy push you away
Blissful I am
Blissful am I!
Lord, you lift me up when I fall
Blissful am I!
Lord, you who resides in the sky
I know you`ll ever see me tall
But never stuck against the wall
Blissful am I!
Shall I tell thee about a blissful day?
That keeps tempers at bay and devil’s chained?
Amidst all the struggles we face night and day!
Jahannam’s flames are all tied and tamed.
The gates of Jannah are open and shines,
Enveloping the wicked, lights are dimmed.
Deaf, dumb, and blind lost and left behind.
Goodness leads to ways devoid of sin.
For Allah’s grace and mercy does not fade,
Compassion shown even to the lowest.
Sawm will keep us under Allah’s shade,
With time and knowledge, we will grow’st!
Taking heed we worship the unseen,
We are fearless and guided by the deen!
A shiny morning bathed in golden-gluey rays.
Somedays are different from everyday.
The royal couture's army, Of sun's dear palace.
Served down the feast of honour.
As I opened the mouth to greet.
The berries of my mommy's continental & savoury kitchen.
Satisfying the appetite of my elated much hungry soul.
Alongwith serenity, To my disturbed mood.
I took the boat, Destined for the shore of endless breathing.
& found myself lost, Into the lake of solitude.
The melody of contentment.
Drenched into my ear, when the swans passed by.
A merry moment to cherish & laugh.
Even the hours of daylight, Felt like a blink of seconds to my ardent eyes & carefree heart.
Roaming like a reckless, dancing paper doll.
A royal chic, Fully fledged with tantrums, that night. Cause,
I was wild.
I was free.
I was home

Make the world feel blissful
By Michelle Morris
26/11/2024
You eventually say those words
The three most important in the world
I can't believe it's true
It's our own blessed miracle
"I love you"
Like water quenches the earth in a drought
It lets your cup overflow
And your mind be free of doubt
You thought it was too late
And I guess I thought so too
But secretly we both wished for this
Our love is a dream come true
It may not have happened conventionally
It may have been a rollercoaster ride
But ultimately love is a crazy experience
And we're together for the rest of our lives
Because you came closer
And I came closer still
And now we're one field of loving energy
That can make the world feel blissful

"Life is a story with chapters unfolding, and of being
possessed by love and lust, and want along the way."
Quote by _Constance
There are times in my life of want and lust,
things that I sought out with hunger:
cravings and desires that were a must,
of course, then, I was much younger;
with a love and thirst for meaningless things,
with a lust and yearning for everythings.
But, after years of want I was left torn,
the excitement was now broken:
I wanted to be free and be reborn,
my wish for freedom unspoken;
I became more aware and quite mindful,
finding that meditation was vital.
I released myself to sweet dreamy rest,
my mind ... peace and serenity:
and in quietness I have been so blessed,
blissful in tranquility;
in delightful silence I love to repose,
enraptured with driftiing words ... I compose.
