Premium Member The essence of all forms
Bereft of attributes, Self is living light, which is our true being, shaped as God Himself, in a realm outside space-time, where we shine bright and so recognising this as our true Self, we weave our way through life in drunken delight, knowing what’s impulsed will unfold by itself. God dwells in the Self and Self dwells in the heart, which is...

Premium Member My Father's Love Echo
The arrival of his departure (A numb and cruel upheaval starter) was an emotional core rupture; a visual goodbye to my father. I saw his final, last inhale that would never flow to release. I saw his life light fade to pale before leaving to forever peace. In time, I joyously came to know his essence was such a strong force, he could bend...

Essence of Life
The essence of life Is not the grand, shining prize— Not the towers we build, Not the praise, not the size. It is not in the gold That I chased in my youth, But in hard-spoken love, And in stubborn old truth. It’s not in the noise Of applause or acclaim, But in calling your child By their little pet name. It lives in the touch Of a...

Premium Member When poets fall into silence, humanity will lose not just its voice, but the very essence of Life
When poets fall into silence, humanity will lose not just its voice, but the very essence of Life, soaked in the pain of fallen kin, surrounded by the tumult of fears that dance like shadows on the cold stone-like asphalt, a poet dips their pen in tears of silver. He had a name, a name that echoed like...

Premium Member The outside world makes me sick, suffocates me, dissolves my essence beneath my own skin
The outside world makes me sick, suffocates me, dissolves my essence beneath my own skin, Home seems like a distant illusion, reality—a thin veil ready to tear, I beg for other shells to cover my body, to hide my vulnerability, Loose clothes, shining chains, quiet shoes—all to divert attention. I try to hide the pain, to blur the days...

The Essence of Neverending Love
Now and always, your hearts intertwine, Embracing each moment, a love so divine. Vows whispered softly, a promise so deep, Each shared glance, a treasure to keep. Radiant smiles reflecting pure bliss, Eternal devotion sealed with a kiss. Nurturing kindness, a gentle embrace, Days filled with joy in this sacred space. Inseparable souls, a bond strong and true, Nothing can break the love shared...

Spring sunshine as winter has now past That tempestuous wild weather did not last Pollen-covered daffodils do permeate the air with their fresh scent What will the pious sacrifice for lent The easter hunt did unanimously excite A fine lamb roast with heartfelt the family they did invite Rabbits were seen but scattered when approached in the field Churchgoers took communion and...

The Essence of Love
What is love...? It’s waking up at dawn, Whispering their name before the world awakes... It’s folding hands in prayer, Asking the universe to keep them safe... It’s sitting alone with a quiet smile, Yet yearning for just one glimpse of their face... What is love...? It’s becoming a falling star, Just to grant their deepest wish... It’s battling life’s every storm, Just to hold them...

Send a Paper Plane to the Gods
In two weeks, the Loy Krathong will begin. 12th in the Lunar calendar, atone for a sin. Floating specks, like us but in the sky. The stars or the lanterns; fault of the eye. To beg for forgiveness to an imaginary friend. Hence the offerings galore faithful until the end. No one has seen Or known our humanely ruin; but we have fantasized. We still have mosaics, delusions, excuses, never considering if they were lies. There is...
