Enlivens Poems | Examples

Zen mode

God dwells within our form
holding erect our stance
swathed in mists cool and warm
in delight all nodes dance

endings mark beginnings
all we do is align
rapture rises, heart sings 
bliss enlivens our spine

palms of hands, soles of feet
agencies for action
throb with magnetic heat
in time gaining traction

poised as such, night and day
as the very bliss flame
earth life becomes mere play
God’s light our claim to fame

musings on memory

through the waking, dreaming and deep sleep states
memory offers continuity 
as we weave our way through life’s wispy gates
birthing feeling of perpetuity 

the light of our Self illumines the soul
which in turn enlivens the ego mind
but mavericks any we feel not whole
until we leave fears and desires behind

attuned to Self in cave of heart aflame
life is viewed as nothing more than a dream
desire, the cross we carry, our soul’s shame
taking ride after ride on mind’s moonbeam

desire cessation ends our soul’s sorrow ~
joy in the now, no fear of the morrow

Zen mode

one with God’s breath that enlivens our form
we peep inside the boundaries of skin
we see that head and heart with love conform
with the vessel now clean, we can go in
that our soul’s transformation may begin
in time dissolved stillness invoking grace
held by God’s tender love in close embrace

Night

The seduction of a feel,
Of a flower,
Of deep night.
When
I think of catching the spirit,
Of the
Night.
Over there
On the
Palm
Over the stairs.
If i could catch
That
Slump
Into a gaze.
Encryption
And
Put it in a
Vase…
Bottle…
Paper…

The touch, so deeply desirable,
The bloom is opened,
Especially in the kind dark.
Reaching
For the comfort of this living ghost,
That
Warms the evening.
My view is
Of the
Arching branch
Sheltering the walkway.
With
Graceful sway
It enlivens my spirit.
Few, perhaps only one
Feel
The sensuous art
Of phrase...
Of hand...
Thought convoyed by eyes only...

Collaboration Amethyste & Jim Musics

Zen mode

a thousand lamps light up
all at once spontaneously 
igniting the head ovoid
whilst the staff of power
enlivens the central axis
that as a seamless whole
all nodes in form tango dance
with carefree abandon
mood and mode celebratory 
wherein we are as we are
the entire orchestra

Moments, Melodies and Memories

Holding onto a moment,  
One that brings back good memories,  
One that changes the stories,  
A moment that enlivens the heart.  

Changing old ways,  
Opening the window to the light,  
Letting it shine on the pieces from the night,  
The day is framed in vibrant colours.  

Changing old tunes,  
Enraptured by the melodies from within,  
Time gives birth to a new being,  
Someone refreshed by a tranquil resonance in the soul.  

Holding onto a glow,  
Keeping treasured moments in a box,  
Those diminished by the ageing clocks,  
Until there is a journey to the beyond.

Zen mode

As the pulse of bliss,
enlivens feeble form,
accustomed to the caress,
do we not begin anticipating,
delight in offered surprise,
being a refrain that renews,
as the light of our true Self,
reverberating within the body,
wherein we as both this and that,
are poised in the bardo,
in a continuum of stillness?

Zen mode

humming bliss beats and flow of soma nectar 
enlivens soul presence though we remain still
as magnetism pierces each body vector
our cup of joy thus begins to overspill

whilst the external world moves as is ordained
we blissfully navigate the void unchained
feeling no lack knowing God watches our back
although decaying form is stretched on a rack

a blushing rose

divine magnetism that enlivens our soul 
cajoles presence to compose a bliss beat
in sublime sacred geometry that makes us whole
dancing to a rhythm radiating love’s heat
so simply by setting up a wave of pure intent
light strobes emanate as we follow the scent

Say it like it is

Dead of the night, when we should be asleep,
we feel soma nectar drip through our throat 
and as refrain of bliss plays on our lips 
feeling God in each electron of space,
as thought forms stall, we see our false self fall, 
being of course, benediction of grace, 
the breath of God that enlivens our form, 
reconnects our core essence with the source 
and as we are swept away in this storm,
God speaks to us and childlike heart listens.

Lines taken from the following sonnets ~

In the dead of night
Joy ride
So spake Simple Simon
Absolute freedom 
A leaf falls
God is a sphere
Shaping destiny
Show me God
Benign bliss burn
Anointed with bliss

Renewal continual

Subtle scents resurrected by desire,
hijacked by ego, crystallise as thought,
a symbol seeking to depict that fire,
which divine inspirations to heart brought,
attempting to cage sun rays but cannot,
with words merely pointing out to that taste,
savoured, embraced and released by soul chaste.

In silence, becoming one with life’s flow,
as the source that enlivens form of dust,
relinquishing thus ego’s need to know,
vibrance of innocence radiates trust,
as of choiceless choice doing as it must,
to reinvent creation by love’s touch,
relying not upon lower mind crutch.

Zen mode

observing oscillation of our attention 
between form and the void
with inertia dimming our awareness 
accepting the sway as it is
looking at waves in nonchalance 
we feel nothing need be done 
since the flame of awareness is held
solely in the hands of God
Who weaves his magic within duality
and thus recognising the play
we as aspect of the whole in the dream
have freedom to offer response
to life as it unfolds moment to moment
so choose to thin out the ego
that as boundaries blur nodes within stir
benign bliss friction enlivens dust
whereupon affirming there is no one here
we transmute becoming the flame

Zen mode

we honour the form to us bestowed
we honour mind with its limitations too
imbibing uniqueness of these gifts
we yet beseech throb of bliss to renew

all that that comes and goes is unreal
yet for now in this lucid dream it serves
fullness in emptiness enlivens our form
bliss magnetism pulsating in our nerves

the reins of our life are in God’s hands
He steers our soul to make us strong
He dwells in the heart where we too rest
nestled in stillness we can do no wrong

duality delights

head and heart in balance
poised at the stillness centre
pure intent invokes grace
whence bliss begins to canter

no doubt heart is delighted
but though bliss enlivens form
recognising we’re not body-mind
we need to transcend this storm

as vibrant formless awareness
experiencing magnetism in body urn
gratefully accepting boons of grace
we surrender to love’s benign bliss burn

the Self in singularity has no attribute
this we know having been and seen
but be this as it may, in singularity 
there is no wisdom our being can glean

Whence grazed by bliss

What can presence possibly write about,
except bliss that enlivens feeble form,
caress sublime, that erases all doubt,
engulfing heart in love’s magnetism warm?
Transcending fear, we plunge into the storm,
one with the universe, penning a verse,
of soul’s vibrance, with no need to rehearse.
