Calibrating Poems | Examples


Premium MemberCalibrating desires

Lower desires orbiting body-mind,
leaves heart incomplete, staring at defeat,
signalling cravings should be left behind,
that going in we may feel God’s heartbeat,
imbibing bliss mists which do not deplete.
With bliss attained and heaven in our sight,
we drop this realm too, to transform as light.

discarding concepts
we swim in the ocean
of the totality of all that is
ever vibrant
always spontaneous
delighting our childlike heart
with a soothing caress of bliss

we have long since ceased
calibrating spiritual progress
since polarities rotated
we now are the void
pervading feeble form
and as both waves and the shore
we enjoy surfing the bardo

Syzygy

"Syzygy"

Behind the wet dunes
fringed with seagrass
a blood crescent 
kisses the forehead 
of dreamer traversed
twin aeon syzygy 
barefeet the velvet 
sophia imprints
softly speak 
like words seen
dancing across
the place between 
heaven and earth
mapping deviations
non-standard
calibrating alignment
played forward through 
unchartered jaded
emerald forests
where the satin skin 
becomes sparkling
crystalline it shatters 
like a shell disgarded, then
the body of no substance
becomes transparent 
enveloped in rapturous 
Devabani heralding
commands cast 
from divine throats
lutes and sitars
whirling nightingales
dervishes wingspanned 
accompany angelic legions
the journey melts into
deep blue mysterious oceans
easily walked, hypnotic the 
transparent beckoning,
this is the way come,
come, come closer
closer, come forward,
on higher Elysian steppes
the bride smiles
an unspoken secret
and turns

the eyes are 
twin windows 
like doorways

opening 
swallowing

Poring over the holy books
  Hoary heads, stroking their beards

Calibrating ancient laws for 2022
  Eschewing payment, revered volunteers

Premium MemberCalibrating Stillness

How still is our stillness, hermit
Is our awareness unbroken
Which dormant desires yet orbit 
Leaving pristine silence shaken

Mindful eye observes quietude 
How still is our stillness, hermit
Steely focus and fortitude 
Propels us towards the summit

Judging neither fault nor merit 
Ceasing to size, we vaporise 
How still is our stillness, hermit
As bliss pulsations within rise

Heart glows, when with love we align
Far cry if creature of habit
Have we merged with the light divine 
How still is our stillness, hermit

Premium MemberCoffee Addiction

Coffee Addiction

Calibrating coffee homeostasis flows easily back and forth

On the ‘high’-way of instant craze and crave of gratification

'Feodor' true to his name slurps the divine gift all day to rise

From moody withdrawal of night slumber slumping aground 

Energetic vigour and buoyant exuberance alights from 

Exhaustion brought on by life and pulsating caffeine’s fix


Abortive attempts to reduce hooked intake accrued no success 

Doomed at one time and in lack of hot water 'Feodor' even

Dissolved coffee in Cola to feed effervescent dependence

Imbalanced the mixture blew up but nourished his need

Caressed by foam on his face he confronted his addiction

To vow not to drink less tropical grind but have water 

In sufficient vital supplies at all times to keep well afloat

On balance his highs derived from his beverage of choice

Navigate his depression much better than Cocaine or booze

Circumstantially

A hen meets a duck and joins a hunt. Wow. Wisdom flavours of ancient waters. Lingering laughing llamas lounging. Traditionalists glow and grow from packs of geese, swarms of sausages and packs of noodles. All bundled then. Good. Get on the correct train and pronounce bee with the correct annotation dressed in a yellow suit. Buzzing busy business booming. And flour flourishing. And a tempest of a trailer is not a temper or a template. Ok. Wailing a wall walking a water. Milking a flower bud. Making a straw cake. And adjusting the heat of a calendar. Calibrating with 1000 fried rice bowls, 90 giggling saucepans and a piteous fish fork glowering triumphantly on a mahogany table. Oh look the patterned tea cups are journeying on that space shuttle. Ambiguous amphibian arguing with architecture is archived. And a stirring of a pan of cheese sauce is very very imaginative and animated. Hahahaha a broom sailing hahahaha popinjay popping. *** circumstantially z

Gyrations

I am lifting 
your blood-soaked shirt
giving the latitude to planet
which broke the law.

The elite 
wants to know, why  you were
still here, when steam was rising
in golden night ?

An extended
grief overtakes the wind
in the flute. You become a free man
walking naked.

The gyres 
were calibrating the magi. 
An empty niche waits for a Buddha
to take the re-birth.

Me and U

Calibrating 
measurements in tune
swoon
Mechanisms of long well thought emotions
racing over a body of energy 
that beckons for a bulb to brighten up this mood
this day.... this world
girl
you know it's true 
I do believe in you
in us.... the sanctity of trust that reigns 
supreme
ya know what I mean.

Not mysterious like the fog 
that rolls in with the morning dew
but sure as the sun by day
the moon at night and all that's right
to see between the pages
the lines and the spaces 
not just the sheets 
is where to meet the soul of another
Calibrating 
measurements in tune
swoon
Collaborating with you.
