Adrift across the world,
I dreamt of black waters.
Flat sea from long ago.
Journey inside my mind,
choppers pick up that flow.
Adrift across the world,
opaque lisp on high tide.
Can’t quite get it all out,
I’m bitterly hindered.
A princess with a pout.
Adrift across the world,
calling from my belfry.
An ache inside my throat
is so raw with shouting.
It’s best not to emote.
Adrift across the world,
strange stories come alive.
Murky surf pulls me in,
every forgotten land
chooses my voice again.
creative instinct
heart’s playful emote
uniqueness distinct
chooses to free float
lower mind translates
pulse ineffable
in symbols so states
as best as able
poised in silence staid
with thought forms at rest
in bliss mists we wade
at peace in heart’s nest
In the midst of many, we walk alone,
inking the vast void with our heart’s emote,
recognising no truths are etched in stone,
so retaining soul’s vibrance we free float.
Images shape shift as dream forms that swirl ~
Through the mists we watch flag of love unfurl
“He who is free from attachment and hatred, devoted to the good of all beings, fixed in knowledge and steady shall attain to the supreme state.”
Easy to understand are these words wise,
that free from desire, with love our emote,
detached from outcomes, God we realise,
emitting love and light, as we free float,
as our life toward God-search we devote.
Having understood, we must walk the talk,
gentling touch and resolving not to balk.
we travel together on God’s bliss boat ~
all being one, let love be our emote
Calibrated with fortified spirit to pursue, fight
Amidst brewing storm in a subtle hour of darkest night
Pulling all strengths to move unceasingly forward
Talon’s fearless claws abrading trials, holding faith hard.
Ascent with prayers to view the gleaming light of dawn
Illuminated heart of hope wakes a dogged determination
Noble act of heroism flails with great leadership to lean on.
Ardent impulse to journey more tough roads to success
Maximizing power to carry heavy loads, fighting distress
Earnest desire to fly crossing mountains and vast seas
Remote on retreats to fulfill self to others’ dream or wish.
Imperishable impetus to venture with insignia of goodness
Coat of resilience for pains with wisdom to grow from weakness
A fortitude to persistency for achievements and happiness.
A shape of the void is providing innumerable occupations for characters on the stage to emote through clearest and wet lightning
the distortion of audience perspective sustains briefly

“let’s ink the void with soul’s emote ~
at peace within in God’s bliss boat”
~ quote by poet
In heaven’s womb, during deep sleep,
soul poised for a consciousness leap,
shallow breath synced with God’s heartbeat,
we fearlessly swim in the deep.
Come the morn our heart is upbeat,
enlivened by magnetic heat,
being benedictions of grace,
stardust collected from God’s feet.
Staid stillness determines our pace,
mood and mode release and embrace,
mirroring the light of our soul,
which illumines vastness of space.
Love in love with love has no goal,
save by melding making hearts whole,
which then is the cause why we write,
fulfilling thus our ordained role.
To portray spiritual sight,
as words dancing in black and white,
penning a melodious verse,
needs no less than spherical sight.
There’s no cause for us to rehearse,
soft musings of the universe,
felt by heart, translated by mind,
for the better or for the worse.
With vibrations of God aligned,
we are led by scent of love blind,
an outpost to fulfil His will,
hoping soul’s light each of us find.
Forged from the elements of Mother Earth,
mindful is our touch, each emote gentle,
dwelling in heart always bubbling with mirth,
resting thought flow and all concepts mental,
love the currency to pay life’s rental.
In body temple, making eye single,
heart delights when bliss pheromones mingle.
pausing inner flow within silence
we osmotically penetrate the void
imprinting therein our unique emote
resplendent with God’s light unalloyed
anointing soul with heart’s intent
to enjoy absolute freedom
we granted love and light consent
to take us straight to God’s kingdom
along a vibrational shift
we set sail in the vibrant void
each emote choosing to uplift
mindful that we be not decoyed
here now within mind-body urn
we became the earth and the sky
embracing love’s benign bliss burn
flames in which we saw ego die
doing nothing thus in repose
we watched our soul metamorphose
the horizon is motionless in its red and purple hues
snow-topped mountains are shushing us with silent lips
the immobility of this presence does not hesitate to bring stillness
I look into the water’s depths; all the wildlife must be sleeping
there is not one tiny splash; this well-worn dock placates me
this is a place for eagles, but no bird is flying; the air is soundless
a meditative place, a Zen place where I could sit and emote
so I do, crossing my legs on the edge of the dock, stilling my soul
a tiny breeze barely whispers her secrets onto my face; I smile
feeling all-powerful in this sacred place, loaned to me by the Master
thoughts I could have never conjured anywhere else come to me
I begin to solve my tiny problems as the world embraces me with silence.
agape love’s effused as the scent from a rose ~
each disdain emote debt of love our soul owes
Worldly songs fret
The human ears
Tickles the heart.
Great song not age
It lives by time
Respect lyrics.
Love songs rain heart
Emote the eyes
Makes lovers dream.
Song glorifies
Souls that sleep
Touch heart of God.
