Premium Member analysis is paralysis

mind would like to identify
the point where bliss originates
some say crown, whilst others say heart
as knowing ego designates

what if each node is the centre
containing within it the all
the universe is God alone
where each awakened cell stands tall

God is in us and we’re in Him
there then is no this versus that
at the singularity point
oh hermit, what’s there to format

In Marked Territory

The ruler of his kingdom
He designates the lines
The pieces that belong to him
His subjects and their lives 

He rules with domination
His disciples are but fools
This powerful head of state 
Oversees and overrules 

His commanding reign of tyranny
A symptom of his fear
That the truth of his own worthiness 
Seep through his brusque veneer 

Deep within marked territory 
A little boy survives
A little boy who measures worth
On the ability to rule lives

Premium Member Seek and Ye Shall Find

It has come to this,
we’re in all time bliss,
be it day or night,
unending delight.

Within body prism,
divine magnetism
pulsates as it likes;
rapture often spikes.

Bliss caress sublime,
sounds a rhythmic chime,
holding focus still,
aligned with God's will.

We no longer sigh
on moments gone by,
living in the now,
as bliss beats endow.

God's grace designates,
light that emanates
from the core of form,
felt as a bliss storm.

We write to confirm
these truths we affirm,
are ours to now claim,
if heart's free from stain.

To be thus self-taught,
simply gentle thought,
Flowing like the breeze, 
with nonchalant ease.

Premium Member Either Way

The morning is fair and without compare;
desire to escape commotion in motion.
With apologies to Frost, but I’m lost
in sylvan idyll; my thoughts to distil.
I should have turned left or maybe the cleft
ignored as the bend designates the end.
Peering into the void I can’t avoid
the nagging feeling that the sheep bleating
as they’re trudging through the mud, chewing cuds
on the road most travelled and levelled,
would’ve been easier terrain – not bane 
of thorns and thistles. As temper bristles,
thoughts turn mutinous. Incongruously
I’ll save either way for another day.

Premium Member Life's Ball Games

Whether thrown or caught,
    Sometimes kicked or struck,
        The fascination endures.
Great skill often adds to the
    Speed or pace, as the games
        Provide victorious cures.

While talent or good-fortune
    Designates champions, no losers
        Are seen forever in the quest.
Since the challenge lies in the 
    Competition, providing one's
        Utmost effort, if not the best.

Regardless of one-on-one matches,
    Or one team against another
        In the game.
The battles seek to crown a victor,
    Granting new heights towards
        Fortune and fame.

Oranges and Oil I

Oranges and oil 
old smells like burning wires 
Black cryptic desires 
An iron hand upon the velvet 
oranges and oil 
static noise white hot glows 
Softly in the night 
Ominous 
opulence 
oblivions volume 
even higher 
oranges and oil 
Blue oxygen runs 
onyx tubes 
brighter memories expire 
An old man 
a dying prize fighter 
Conspires 
An Eminence of oranges and oil 
As objects 
ornate 
Obsolete 
regulate 
tangled in Barbwire 
oranges and oil 
a burnt smell
like twisted wires 
deep infinite fire 
visions of white noise glows lighter 
Of oblique imagery resonates 
An old man with an iron hand
Wrapped in velvet fire
Memories desire
as objects oily 
with afterthoughts 
designates 
detonates 
resonates
With essences old
Of oranges and oil

SURVEILLIOCENTRICHOSPIDROME


Sanctuary of my deepest thoughts
(Fill me with you r everence sustain)

My Inner Sanctum for peace of mind
(Where the heart meets with my soul and brain)

Ninth circle of dwell ing in placement
(Make sense of existence in its wake)

Chemical reaction of sense s
(Sacred Space that travels through the ways)

Familiar path familiar 
(Tracker beacon tethered to remain s)

Mirror ed signal fires reciprocate 
(Blueprint Honed Core that DNA names)

Nine Virtionic fires of justice
(Nine Hallowed entrances of domain)

Home is where the heart designates, is
(Home, where the heart is design contained)

Nourishment tabernacle of s orts
Orting miracles of the spark
Sparking connections, im port
S porter in an embark
Embarking on Life
Living the dream
Dreams onsite
Onsite
Glean

Premium Member By the Water's Edge

A ruby-red sun slowly starts to sink,
as scarlet sunbeams singe sullied clouds pink.
And as a mellow moon mirrors Sole's face,
a golden globe gracefully takes its place.

And as dusk's darkness drowsily descends,
a star-studded sky suddenly transcends.
And wave-wrinkled waters washing ashore,
form frantic foamy froth seagulls adore.

The beach becomes basted in crawling crab,
that tides tethered to the moon cannot grab.
And a fog fashioned from fragments of mist,
fosters faint feelings of just being kissed.

Darkness designates the end of the day,
snagging shifting shadows, starting to stray.
And as ebony engulfs everything,
crimson clouds circle Luna, like a ring.

Temperature Drop

All in lies
and to hope betrayed
this human prayer
in requests of faith
holds the precipice to its heart

All divest by such noncommittal love
all broken by the dreamings of
but to its feet lays petition
for the signatures of psychopaths

All becomes contrary to the heart
endorsement beneath threat
to stand alone
with all this frigid hate

Corpses by numbers capitulate
compiled in easy flippant verbiage
designates a willful slaughter
for all the love of peace
and with petty price elucidate
the why-fores agony
wherefores impartiality 
signed away by sociopaths

So all becomes this frigid hate
and ruled by the secular dictators of death
a human prayer
in requests of faith
holds the precipice to its heart

Human Malady

Human Malady

Everything has it's time 
When an event is ripe
Nothing can elude it
As the chiming of a clock
Designates a specific time of day
So events in our lives 
Yesterday is history 
Today is here, alive with us
Tomorrow is pregnant,  unknown 
No matter our escapade,  life goes on
We have a task, not to be bogged down
By events,  negative or positive 
It is a malady all mortals must live through.
And, if we are strong enough
Bearing in mind, as we know 
The weather has many different seasons 
Every season has it's timing
Then, we can be sure
To go through life's maladies prepared.

Religion of Love

Each religion has its own ideology
Its own house of worship
It has its own dialect,
It is bounded by 
its own rites and rituals
Its own drama and myth
It has its own justice system 
Its distinct way of atonement
Its own unique style,
It is partial and onerous,
It promises heaven in afterlife
but creates living hell on earth. 

It demands total obedience,
Total reverence
It defers explanation
It defies reasoning
It professes eternal life
and exacts strict wages;

Each religion has its own
interpretation of God
Each has a special pathway to heaven
Each designates dire caveat for hell.


Love, on the other hand, is free,
Free of all nuisances
Free of all boundaries
Free of all rites and rituals
Free of all race and creed,
It speaks with the eyes
Listens with the heart,
It only seeks soul mates,
It is universal
It encompasses all
and excludes none.

Love is but Love;
Love just happens,
There’s no beginning
And once began
there’s no ending.

True Love is omnipotent
It is omniscient 
It is omnipresent.



~Religion and/or Philosophy contest by Kai Michael Newmann

Slicing Glass

Emotion to the top
Spreading fire, spreading the spirit
Looksee what it designates
Moving with the head beat
Slicing like thin clouds
Alternative
Speech marks, going to the clouds
Slicing like rain on a glass window
Why can I feel this?
Like normal, like longer.
Etiquette charm endearance 
Fire like smokey joe
Belonging
Singing 
Believing 
Reality

Premium Member Destiny

divine destiny
 
decided before birth

delivered on life’s course

determines life on earth

designates direction

or

doubts after choices 

doodled guilt maybes

disturbed self-image 

desires need to believe

destiny caused everything

Superior To All Others

I know that is what you are trying to do until you don’t lose.
     Upset the balance of a rightful world to
Destroy a focus that remains visionary to 
     Defeat the purpose of eternal peace.
Against the odds, you will precede while waiting for the truth to weaken.

A mountaineer never gives up the climb.
He or she seeks knowledge on how to peak the next time.
Even when it may seem a deadly try, his or her mind is with the goal defined.

Rightful is your success.
You are the splendor to your voice.
You are searching for the best way to proceed.
A wrongful world is always depleted.

An alpinist knows his or her rise.
He or she climbs to summit the incline.
Although him or her may scramble along the way, the journey has been  
     partaken.

A mindset designates a mental attitude or inclination formed.
One that has regiment that is detrimental to ambition.
Ubiquitous deseeding is paramount.
A mountain is to climb once formed.
You are therefore superior to all others.
