Deplete Poems

Bliss

bliss is the subtlest of the five sheaths donned
a steady hum of divine magnetism
fixating focus, taking us beyond
symbols, forms and labels of every ism
igniting here now our mind-body prism
simply stated bliss mirrors God’s heartbeat
rapture unbound that never does deplete

I am the world

when our body-mind dissolves
ego recedes, soul evolves
with soul an offshoot of God
Who is known when heart has thawed

entering thought cessation
dropping body sensation
we as consciousness expand 
obeying our heart’s demand

whilst humming a soundless verse
we swallow the universe
as the breath of God Himself
and then behold light of Self

our true Self stands outside time
and space, mirroring God’s chime
feeling complete, bliss replete
as light that does not deplete

from God comes Self, from Self soul
in pulse dual, in its role
each module merging with source 
when life has run its full course 

there is as such no one here
yet all are one, to us dear
God is in us, we’re in Him
in these dreams in which we swim

Zen mode

hallowed hollow of our glistening palms
heals our fellow souls on the astral plane
emitting loving radiance that calms
borrowing lustre from our central vein
transmits God’s blessings falling like light rain
likewise soles of our feet mirror cool heat 
signalling flow of grace does not deplete

So spake simple Simon

Shaped from earth’s crust, we are but dust,
yet our pulse mirrors God’s heartbeat,
enlivened by magnetic heat,
borne by His breath, loving and just.
Why then succumb to thrust of lust,
fleeting cravings doomed to deplete,
leaving us feeling incomplete,
love of God unable to trust?

Know that we are spirit not form.
Thoughts orbit cravings of ego,
which ebbs off when desires recede.
Staid silence invokes a bliss storm,
when who we are we get to know.
The path is simple: reduce speed.

Calibrating 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.

All in a Day

too soon
this moon

day’s chores
some scores

most not
forgot

deplete
need sleep

morning
warning

disarm
alarm

same old
sixfold

more work
can’t shirk

no fun
undone

work sucks
need bucks

Global order'

Glibly goes; the globalists line deprivation is freedom
And eternal war is so fine' repression of the west that
Had afflulence and health.' That might spill over? to the
Third world..Kept upon its own shelf.' By empowered
Populations un-predated by war, in appreciation of advances, from the decades gone before..As thought
Pharoah Tutmoses; the second to none? The folk in
General are most numerous, of my riches whats is to 
become? So he made 'interventions and punishments'
Hard.! to deplete them in number..To kill young males
His trump card.' And yet there was plentitude, innovation
All was well.' Now his agressive intention unto evil actions
Would sound the death knell.'

A chance to rise

And I'm guarded,
like I'm wounded,
my first instincts,
are to find a hole,
dig in, seek ascendance 

I wanna lighten my dark,
I wanna swallow the sun,
I wanna feel single; one of one—
I wanna spark transcendence

To feel the pulse of life in every sad heartbeat 
So I fire the dreams where passion finds defeat
Flame fueled, flowing forever forgoing deplete
Phoenix rise singular; not to be repetition, like a parakeet

Humane

Dig only until your fingers can reach,
don't fall face down into the ground,
you're not soil yet 

Extend your hands only until warmth is still home,
don't deplete yourself of what you give, 
even stars die a cold death

Build your fences only until their faces are friends' 
don't reach for the sun,
you'll only burn yourself

Sing to the gods only until your voice is air 
don't meddle with hands
religion isn't only yours to reclaim

Guard your walls only until the soldiers are rivals
don't stick your guns at every gate
not all neighbors are villains

Count the waves only until the sea waves back
don't wait for the sun to sink
your boat is holed of your own feet

Rush back home on more than weekends 
don't fit love into tight routines, 
time doesn't entertain belated guests

Love until your bones are soil
don't worry about bills and gods 
humane is the best you can.

Space flickers

In plain sight, space flickers
and right at that moment,
both palms and soles of feet,
tingle with magnetism;
pulse that does not deplete.

In plain sight, space flickers,
cognised if we be still;
God’s light shines from behind,
ours to know unless we’re
spiritually blind.

In plain sight, space flickers,
signalling it’s a veil,
which all pure hearts can pierce,
upon shedding ego
and desire tempests fierce.

In plain sight, space flickers,
so we’re both this and that
and as we bilocate
between earth and heaven,
God Himself shapes our fate.

The person I want to be

As part of earth that orbits yonder sun
holding the universe in close embrace,
if breath by breath I could imbibe God’s grace,
divine entwined, slowly coming undone,
recognising truth that we all are one,
no puzzles would remain for me to lace.

Surrendering egoic will at God’s feet,
empowered to shape shift and bilocate,
may being as such be my ordained fate,
suffused with bliss mists that do not deplete,
as a ray of His light, then thus complete,
delighting as seeds of love pollinate.

Such is the yearning of my heart’s desire,
to transmute becoming the cosmic fire.

UNCONSCIOUS BIAS MIDST TRUTH

Midst unconscious bias along fulfillment height
Against scarcity feelings of carnality’s pest
Brought by low self-esteem, attacking virtuous best 
I claim triumph of spirituality-delight.

Praise-propelled as recipient of God’s precious grace*
I'm gripped with serene eternal salvation’s bliss
Though egoistic opinions show mocking hiss
My heart is grateful for blessings through all the days.

Unconscious bias makes me admit what I need
It’s to share with others love that makes them complete
Midst kindness and care, selflessness can’t deplete
Vanquishing vain jealousy, likewise grievous greed.

Truth freely reinforces reality-seal
Against flaws of bias, though unconsciously done
Always earnest while honesty is surely won
Living gladly with others in reaching-out zeal.

*Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.

Estranged

as long as there be separation 
how then can we ever feel complete 
if God and soul tango dance not as one 
distanced from His heart our joy will deplete

The dance divine

Bliss furrows burrow deep under our skin,
fire of sun cooled by moon’s soothing nectar,
whence soul’s light can no longer be boxed-in,
surging forth piercing each body vector.

The coo of love cajoles heart to conform,
with the endearing rhythm of God’s heartbeat,
felt as sublime healing mists, cool and warm;
radiant rapture that does not deplete.

The dance divine, a lifelong flirtation,
as a humble recipient of grace,
we’re poised thus in the void of cessation,
held by Holy Spirit in warm embrace.

In timeless time God Himself does appear ~
His form is all heart, a love and light sphere

Envious Emerald Eyes

Envious emerald eyes eat everything they see
Seeking soulful meals sinning repenting reinventing
Youth is no excuse for the babies are truthful
Your selfishness serves only you yet
Can be viewed as a cautionary tale 
Every thing that looks good isn’t 
Are you all you eat really envious eyes
Have you had humble pie
What did it taste like
Did you swell up with pride
Or deplete of ego inside
Eyes that seek peace yet warring
Eyes that need engaging story 
What if you turn your gaze to within
Not in self hate but in renewing and mend
Growing green apple of eyes
Building dreams and living life
As an example a sample of grace
Envious emerald eyes on your beauty we wait
