Her hair was luminous in the dawn,
Waving in a breeze it seemed to orchestrate.
And the day surrounded her magnetically
As she stood there, entwined with nature-
Nature herself, posed in elemental frame.
And her gown flowed from the ground,
As if tailored by the very grace of God.
And she, in turn, seemed molded likewise,
Formed, in no way lacking-
By sublimity, beguiling to the stolen eye.
“Come with me”, I spoke as if to her,
“And we can together magnify
What perceived, as one, we each
Fall short of understanding in whole”-
Compelled I was, in full rapture.
And then she moved toward me,
Interrupting a moment’s pause for eternity,
As needing to turn such lovely gaze
In direction not posed, but drawn by epiphany-
Stepping out from painting into my world.
Her newfound touch electrified my dreams.
Her smile was a beacon in the haze.
And nature’s green was in her eyes,
Those portals to grand portraiture-
Evolved I was, no looking back.
I paused to contemplate a dream
And found quintessence in my sight.
A vision shaped by artist’s brush
Reached out to take my heart in hand-
Forever taught, am I, the view of life as art.
Precipitous electrified woman
Her temper is well-known
A whirlwind of excitement and enthusiasm
She throws out sparks in rapid speed
They are faster than lightning bolts
We dodge them the best we can
But that does not last long
Feel the bliss charged divine caress
Vivifying each node of form in a dance
As essence of presence delights in the play
Electrifying the enigmatic, joy animated stillness
As magnetic currents draw the soma nectar
Converging in a toroidal field at the heart
Manifesting at once grid lines unknown
How may we delineate bliss ineffable
Surging through us in a flow beauteous
Wherein we as a receptor behold in wonder
Inert organic form teleported to heightened delight
As the vital breath of God does thus enliven us
In unending waves of cascading embrace
Recalibrating consciousness by love
Our heart’s receptivity and gratitude
Surrender acting as a signal to the divine
Does amplify bliss throbs as rumbling thunder
An open secret known to us alone for who can pair
Being a tender touch so intimate and immediate
Akin to the electricity flowing between lovers
We cannot so do not attempt translation

I hope you're aware what you're doin' --
Got a bad feeling you're not
We may be headin' into ruin --
Maybe lookin' at the Doomsday clock
When that end-times gong chimes out,
Who will come to your defense
To say you were roundin' up the cattle
Behind the electrified fence?
I saw death on the installment plan
I saw a Petri dish full of rage
I saw animals eyes in the darkness
I saw the Great Idea in a cage
Still I dream that we'll recover
Someday in the future tense,
And not brand and poke one another
Behind an electrified fence
Electrified fence --
Ain't there no place to turn
All you sinners
May you reconsider
As you feel your hides start to burn
When you're puttin' your love on layaway,
And you pay for it as you go;
When you're tellin' your lover to stay away
'cause you're scared where the heart might go --
Don't be surprised when the bank moves in
And seizes your land and your tents
And you're forced to move in with your animal friends
By the electrified fence
“Questions cease when we become the answer
Requiring thereafter no translator”

Form unendingly with rapture throbbing
Magnetised by bliss in vibrant fullness
Radiates joy in a flow unending
Form unendingly with rapture throbbing
All nodes in unison celebrating
Radiant emptiness one with oneness
Form unendingly with rapture throbbing
Magnetised by bliss in vibrant fullness

(syllabic Triolet)
There is no one here to employ free will.
That that is, is unfettered awareness;
our childlike innocence, at ease and still,
imbibing the nectar by resonance,
transfixed thus in divine entwined parlance.
Presence in silence and stillness tranquil,
in but not of the world; view spherical,
receptive to the throb of vibrant bliss,
being heart centric, makes life look simple,
each moment an intimate love caress.

As contracting fearful thoughts creep in
we look at the ego urgings
with astonishment being of foreign origin
illusionary images spewing
Thought forms that we allow admittance
signal correspondent affinity
for porous emptiness of joyous innocence
throbs with bliss in continuity

Thoughts of wonders electrify
Baring breaches of dreams told now

The more we focus on what shines inside
That has us taking this amazing ride
Living life's highest high's
To the stars, so we can mystify
About our love, we won't let slip by
In a place, we can both occupy
Where we see the beauty eye to eye
Baby, it will never be about saying goodbye
You sure know how to make my spirit fly
The good lord would testify
How you taught my heart to reach for the sky
You have to know how hard I try
To give you my love supply
Energising what grows so deep inside
Knowing we have concord love far and wide
How wonderful it feels living without having to hide
Opening up a world that we can justify
Where our life is so electrified
Love that brings on life's most rewarding high
With a woman, who magnifies
All the love that reflects from your eyes
