Guilt Distilled
Guilt Distilled I want to turn away From all the misery But if I close my eyes The guilt distills in me And if shout about All that I believe I sadly know by now I’ll lose some family But if I turn my back To that, that must be seen Well, then, I risk it all And lose humanity Copyright © Bill MacEachern...

Incomplete Metamorphosis of Distilled Adolescent
Incomplete metamorphosis of distilled adolescent... therefore he characterizes himself as an anomaly...any idea why? Mortified, petrified, stultified, et cetera sheltered, and mortally wounded prepubescent, I consider myself analogously buttressed, cocooned, garrisoned (for bing keeler), hardened, insulated, where cell baited jumping frog o' Montgomery County ne'er went leaving larvae stage, now no divine providential power can assuage, yours truly metaphorically locked within invisible iron bound cage every occasion to...

Premium Member Distilled By Love
Gentle soul stirrings set into motion tremors orbiting omnipresent light, distilled by love, regulates commotion they may cause to mitigate heart's delight. The litmus test at all times being love, unless we recognise that all are one, our intent may not be like the peace dove, for our lower mind has not been undone. There being no 'others', God alone is, one consciousness, as...

Premium Member Essence Distilled
ESSENCE DISTILLED someone mentioned   as a matter of course  hitherto an undiscovered &   instantly disclosed then duly prepared yet previously  ignored ingeniously remaining faithful   with good reason distinguishing confidence in contemporary   interpretations previously concealed thoughts &explanations this deception   of a struggle or challenge   to the reportoire a  presence& veracity significant   yet innocent NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived...

That that is, is as is, hiding in plain view and yet unless we renew essence of presence in childlike innocence, we cannot savour the flavour of the nectar divine till we choose to align. Thus resting thought turbidity, we nestle in tranquil serenity. In silence & stillness. flavour of fragrance is now richer and deeper elixir...

Premium Member Distilled From Tears
Like anguish, distilled from tears beer levies a costly price. And arouses sleeping fears as an elixir of vice. This ubiquitous drink can temporarily numb pain.

Distilled
Time spent with a baby Is like liquid that's distilled, For the bad has all but vanished And contentment is fulfilled.
