the fiery tempest impacts us not
since we reside in the void
distanced from urges ego begot
refusing to be thus toyed
balanced in ease atop the tightrope
artistry seems magical
having long since ceased to strive and grope
one with bliss invisible
form and formless merge to become one
a domain boundaryless
nurtured by the spiritual sun
our expansion limitless
the external world soon fades away
no one comes and no one goes
no urge within causing us to sway
nestled in bliss throb mellow

(syllabic rhyme)
Everyone has a heart for sure
pumping it's way around our frame
without it we would have no heart
then life wouldn't be the same
Your heart has at it's prime centre
the true source of vital power
there your blood pumps all alive
all shown like a colourful flower
From the heart comes all of life
out character traits all in one
whether it be positive or negative
none can be hidden when it's done
Take a good look into your life
see what your heart transpires
there shows what's the real you
and from you comes burning fires
So there it is all of your heart
heart centred life in a nutshell
get it right and see real beauty
right at life's centre so let it tell
Hard as cut stone, exact and
individual,and alone in solitary confinement

Yummy and gooey
Self-centred choc stuck to teeth.
Sugar high on me
Life is never the same,
one moment to the next.The
day’s routine..eating, working,
playing, sleeping camaflages
the moving conveyor belt.
Dawn breaks, night falls
day upon day, week
after week. Seasons
change imperceptibly,
the length of daylight alters,
only the birds notice and
adapt. We having sheared
that link, cocooned in
a mirage of modernity,
muddle on in our delusion;
arrogant and ignorant,
trusting in a perceived
superiority, obstinately
dismissing life’s realties,
worship at ego’s altar.
