A Note to my Member

“It wasn’t me who voted them in.” He bleated, quite moronic.
“And all the lies we’re being told, I think I need a colonic.”
He looked around and gathered his thoughts, “I need to pen a missive,
To my local member, here in town, and it needs to be derisive.”

His needs lined up and in a row he smoothed the sheet for writing.
Nib to page, ink to flow, the Minister’s in for a smiting.
And as the words began to roll with sweet and honeyed menace,
The smile in his eyes began to show, he started, “My name’s Dennis.”

He listed off the promises made with a corresponding date
And coupled them with grievances to even out the slate.
He moaned and groaned and spouted steam. He really was quite grumpy.
And when he read it back again, he found his syntax lumpy.

Scrunch it up and start again, it surely must be proper.
With guilt to place and thoughts to sway, he breached a mental stopper.
And now, when Dennis wrote some more his thoughts and words were crystal.
Seven pages, neatly scrawled. What a delightful epistle.

Premium Member The Voices

I hear them there in mist of my depths 
In silence like a whisper next to you 
Speaking familiar tone, occasional stranger 
Truth, say listen to gut feel 
But are they illusion of times passing 
Sounding real, wait; depths are not silent 
What is edge to which one is push 
The bond and spirit broken away to insanity 

When is it we listen not to our own 
That we follow idle talk our portrait be 
Voices say kill while love spare hatred 
Revenger of iniquity one's reduced to flesh 

I sleep, sometimes waking to the cries echo 
Who's there, who is it I am corresponding 
Who's there that I am not alone in myself 
Perhaps conscience or imagination run wild 
Or just another voice of life leading us on the journey

Premium Member Say it like it is

In silence we feel chakra petals open,
corresponding to a flicker in vast space,
a vibrational message by God spoken,
as steps toward heaven we slowly retrace.
Of boons of grace, we are a mere receptor,
sensing magnetism pierce each body vector,
wherein in truth there is nothing that we do,
save letting these divine pulsations renew.


Sunday Morning

Its a beautiful Sunday morning.

The people are swarming.

Church pews are warming.

Bodies conforming to contours.

Souls performing a symphony,

Witnessing Everybody,

Sounds of Children's laughter.

Rooms filled with happy chatter,

As we gather together.

Here, We all Matter,

Creating a Bond from Beyond.

Corresponding,

Singing along,

Harmony in a Unified Song.

Settling in to to Hear a Tale,

As Spirit sets sail,

Traveling To the Grail.

All of us on it's Tail,

Ending our Story,

Where LOVE,

Always prevails.

Premium Member Intent

intent, a ripple, setting in motion
vibrations corresponding with the cause
therefore if we would be self-taught
just watch each thought ego begot
with a mindful eye erasing our flaws
delighting savouring love’s bliss potion

Premium Member Manipura chakra

navel chakra appears centre stage 
perhaps it has something to say
it is best we let it have its way
lest fire god takes umbrage

meanwhile on our forehead
a quiet potent bliss mist rises
mother divine is full of surprises 
we surrender content at being led

spine a harp of thirty three strings
corresponding to the vertebrae 
hymns are played as we pray 
oh what joy rapture brings


Premium Member Dreamer and the dreamed

Just like a puppet on a string,
we’re controlled by the puppeteer
but love’s rhythm from our heart does spring,
beseeching God’s light to draw near.

The dreamer and the dreamed now one,
within us glows, light of the sun,
accompanied by a bliss surge,
corresponding to our soul’s urge.

Premium Member Elements

Existence is the cauldron where elements brew
Earth, water, fire and air, are in space entwined
Each has unique attributes, maintaining life
Cognised by presence when they are aligned

Holy Spirit grazes form, beginning at root of spine
Earth comes alive, as blood begins to flow
Two thirds of the planet is water; we are likewise
We feel in stillness, our sacral water centre glow

Energy ascent continues, igniting fire in the navel
So enlivening and comforting is magnetic heat
But what avail the spark, if there be no movement 
Breeze of air obliges, making our heart upbeat

Thus from root to sacral, navel and then our heart
Grace activates all elements and body glands
Passing through throat corresponding to aether
Into the head ovoid to cognise God’s heavenly lands

Ancient Hermitic wisdom affirms: as above, so below
Made in God’s image, we represent the whole
Five senses, elements and electricities as yet unknown
Oh hermit, we ourselves are the light, scriptures extol

Rhyme

Whenever I am struck by something 
Strong that I am feeling,
I have to write it down in rhyme,
Which makes it more appealing.

For whether it’s a rave or rant,
My brain can quickly tether
The words with corresponding rhymes
To join them all together.

To many, rhyme’s for children
And of course it is, although it
Can express emotions for all ages,
With a willing poet.

6six6

When strategy recants you
Inept patterns spark muscles through networks of satin dreams
Cut through a chance of sacred hope to forget taken without thought
Turning inside out the odd shapes turned to prism by its own fate
When all looks red light sparkled with green and grey dots perpetual resident haunted feet 
Your golden circus has arrived with coffee 
When given a number corresponding to the chances of death
The darkness sky's reveal the moment of our lies
6, couldn't spell it better without another 66
Who wouldn't hold onto something so dear for a long honest time
But not to some feeling that makes you weak not for some feeling that doesn't hear speech

Persian Cat and the
Humming bird
Watches the flowers
Swaying in the garden.
Sweet nectars shall
Awaking her to be natural
Once again, but now they
stand together in awe!

Premium Member Zen Mode

attentive self-aware awareness notices
the invisible fabric of space shimmer
corresponding to a falling away of
decadent remnants of identity
as yet feigning aliveness
within the body vessel
which being empty
is magnetised
by Holy Spirit 
so presence
bilocates 
between here
and everywhere
as luminous vibration
created in image of God
eternal, complete and at peace
thus regenerating itself within itself

His surgeon was trained

To nurture

Maybe spiritual wealth regained

DayLight/NightUnPower
corresponding fear of shame
about dawn/dusk trauma drama

EarthTribe's cooperatively co-invested
ecofeminist refrain
+1 = -(-0) exponentially squared

polymetric x/y co-binary strain
multicultural healthy wealth

strain and pain 
hard and soft as rain
