Premium Member Ulladu Narpadu Addendum 17

The state when we are always full
From which nothing can be removed 
Exerting a magnetic pull
Remains through all life storms unmoved

Our true being is always free
Although in form it does seem bound
Unshackling Self from the mind tree
Light of God in our heart is found

Bliss renewal continual
Reconnects consciousness with source
Eye single in life pulse dual
Realised without use of force


Putting Someone Down

Pressing a ball,
Will make it small.
Do not let someone fall
It is not a smart goal.
If you press a ball,
By exerting some force
The ball goes down,
We cannot make it round.
Putting someone down,
Does not give you crown
It can give depression
To the people around.
It creates fuss,
It disperses us.
Don't press someone
In your discussion,
Do not hurt them
Mentally or physically,
Sentimentally or orally.
Help others in need,
Offer kindness proactively.

Premium Member Liberation step 2

observe habit patterns that bind
exerting a compelling bind
from which if we wish to be free
befriend silence, with love aligned 

awareness free from our mind tree
ambles gently through life carefree 
detached yet vibrant and alive
soul with laws of God does agree

sipping nectar from heart’s bliss hive
with no need to struggle and strive 
detached from outcomes we are still
knowing in time we will arrive

Premium Member the two of us

karmic attraction veers 
toward the inevitable and 
the unavoidable rolls out 
as it was always meant to be

like magnets exerting their pull
collide becoming inseparable
call it fate or call it destiny
too late to change the outcome

no deciding factor 
comes into play
it just is...
inevitable and predestined

the dice cast
the cards dealt
so we wait to see
how the script plays out

Premium Member somewhat like falling in love

childlike spontaneity and pure intent
as innate propensity of our soul
in judging poetry contests
where focus is upon
a line of inquiry 
seeks an ethereal scent
made alive by words symbolic 
cajoling presence to imbibe the fragrance 
assimilated in stillness by the mind of our heart

as renowned masteroes electrify the stage
with flawless renderings of their music
an almost imperceptible subtle note
possesses the fabric of our soul
playing as a healing refrain
which is what grips our attention
compellingly as a wave form magical
conjuring in toroidal heart a smokeless fire
exerting upon mind full potency of magnetism

Blossom In Snow

I have seen the fire blossom in snow
on the Himalayan peak
wondrous meteoric dust
rise in hymnal flames

Rode on shoulders of snowy giants
on heights untrod by human feet
bathed in mighty energies
released by countless contemplating seers

Erect they sit in hurricane and hailstorm
fortified by the valor of spirit
exerting hard to safeguard the cultural treasure
the time capsules embalmed in the racial memory

Light-bearing is the language of all creativeness in Art
the pan-human tongue, which every one understands
a peaceful all-unifying stream that flows in every heart
as the vehicle of the creative light into all recesses of life.

(Yayati poem)

Premium Member Women Don'T Sweat They Perspire

After the Dominican with it's heat and humidity
This is absolute heaven on earth
Temps in the low seventies with bright sunny skies
AND NO HUMIDITY
Humidity's a killer as you all well know
You can be sitting absolute still
Not exerting yourself even the tiniest wee bit
Still the sweat could be running down your face
On men, it's manly
On women, it's a great big no-no
For exhibiting such unladylike tendencies
Women don't sweat... they perspire
Bull crap! They sweat just like us guys

Frequencies of Comfort

Allow me to be an instrument
Harmonizing notes of hope
Seeping to the deepest areas of sorrow
An air of unforeseen humility
Sending frequencies of empathy

A vibrational wind of faith
To those who suffer
May the music bring an instrumental joy
Broadcasting melodies of compassion
Tangled within the atmosphere

Exerting tunes that soothes all pain
Let me be an instrument
For the one’s with a heavy heart
May they hear the little ditties of love

Transmitting silent chords erasing worries
As passionate themes suppress the agony

And even if only for a brief moment suffering -paused
Followed by only peaceful sounds of comfort

Premium Member Power of Love

our aversion
forged a bond
exerting a pull
magnetic

trauma bonding thus
in time we became
the object we disliked 
now stalking our soul

love however
is our lifeline
for it dissolves
all opposites

love employs no force
it is a soothing caress
healing and transmuting
the very core of our being

When We Take a Bow From Earth

When we take a bow from this earth,
the name and life we make here,
our legacies and treasures,
do not exit the stage with us.

both the rich and the poor,
the respected and puissant
will one day hear,
the infamous buzz of the fly,

where our spirits are summoned
remains solidified in mystery,
no one can descry,
it's a call we must answer.

all our fights,
all our struggles,
never takes that bow with us.
the mysteriousness of life.

our time and years scheming, 
exerting our energies into existence,
our traverse and ordeals,
will one day turn to tales.

a little while, we'd be mourned,
a little while we'd be remembered,
a little while it'd be the new reality,
and a little while we'd be like 

slick stories soon forgotten,
when we take a bow from earth.

In contrast  well on the other hand seems like
opposites attempting to catch the wind. Exerting to resolutions, connecting, and associations. A goal one's  mirror of one's mind, A afterthought? often dazes in one's head according to one's way of thinking, interconnected ways of linking.

Premium Member A Night With the Gods

A  Night with the gods

 

With a shrill cry

piercing the moonless night

stilling the witless

freezing the fleeing shadows

enveloping  midnight dreams

with fleeting glimpse

of fretting hopes

dissipating into the darkened night

 

The strange and the brave

exerting an ineffable aura 

strutting their implacable will 

rousing the heavens

subtly feeding on the blinking stars

unraveling murky visions

bundling the infallible truth

racking the oracle with doubts
