dawn-born bubbles rise
lifting in glass to the sky
an exultant choir—
ringing a sacred mantra
to summon the faithful throng
the soft incense clings,
invisible yet binding,
threading through the mist—
binding spirits together
all sharing a common breath
wind shakes the blossoms
perfume drifts out as a lure
for lone foragers—
coming back with a new dance
a waggle step hymn pathway
one for one and all
though small they rise together
heart tuned to one pulse—
a common proud heritage
ancient unbroken alive
when threats bang the gate
when summer's furnace bears down
wings thunder like drums—
rallying to guard the home
defending their holy ground
let us circle close
songs and breath woven in thread
of effervescence
gracious in our common cause—
fizzing in chalice of light

The year-end creeps, mercuries freeze,
And buzz up English dictionaries,
All in a forward gear
To find Word of the Year,
Which, for Oxford is the slang rizz—
An argot not so clear,
Froth less, bubbleless beer,
Or a cola lost of all fizz!

Poet’s note: Rizz, this year’s Word of the Year, is a slang that means style, charm, attractiveness, ability to attract romantic or sexual partner, and a few more vague things as per Oxford University Press. Big deal!

By the gray rivers flowing, the recently revived,
bob along like Champaign corks in the swift current.
The dead always pop too soon,
even when
you pull their corks with long lamentations.
The fizz-fuse keeps burning.
Morning finds them on-going,
restored and drifting among the detritus
of our own sad endings.
They are not ghosts, you gave them names,
but they do not answer when you call.
They instead, bump against the riverbanks
endeavoring to once again, come ashore.

Mr. Fizz, a pretty cat, is quiet hoping no one notices him
Safe inside the pocket of his big pal Old Jim
Jim takes him to McCoy’s Restaurant and he pokes out his head.
That’s quite the cat you got there, says his pal, Lemon loving Ed.
Shhh! Jim replies, looking around to see where the waitress is.
She would be unhappy and throw him out if she saw Mr. Fizz.
There is sudden movement and Mr. Fizz takes a giant leap.
Catching a fat mouse in his jaws, the intruder gives a squeak.
Come back any time, the waitress and the cook tell Mr. Jim.
But do not bother at all unless you are inviting him.

Soma nectar drips,
as bliss current grips
our heart’s attention,
in jubilation.
Free from narrow doubt,
love begins to sprout,
bursting forth as light,
to our soul’s delight.
Transfiguration
in celebration
heightens joy quotient,
moment by moment.
Amidst the bliss rise,
unfed ego dies.
That that remains is
as is, a bliss fizz.

Cascading bliss fizz tornado
Spirals burrow third eye
Whistle blows! Ready, steady go!
Rapture, at a new high
Heart’s ecstasy’s unbound
The one hand clapping sound
All around does resound
It’s gotten to this
Cascading bliss fizz

No steps to take
Once ego we forsake
For all the doing
Enabling our becoming
Is automatically taken care
By our choice to pair
With the love vibration
Simply by entering cessation
Our orientation acceptant
We flow in the current
Imbibing the bliss elixir
Across all body vectors
Heightened climaxing delight
Throbbing within day & night
Such is is-ness of being-ness
In a continuum of stillness
At play within

Magnetic bliss tingle
bringing about rapture
an ineffable ecstasy
as a permanent feature
Accompanying calm
a tranquil continuum
our joy ineffable
delighting in freedom
Bubbles of agitation
yet sometimes arise
as a gentle reminder
that we are far from wise
Yet for the most part
many nodes within ignited
actuality of our being-ness
is that we remain delighted
Physicality of it is clear
the Sushumna throbbing
dwelling in unending climax
an elixirous thrill vivifying
Bliss then an orientation
bestowed by grace divine
wherein we be to become
as we acceptantly align
in stillness

Here is my debut poem about prison
A mighty fine place to do your biz in
Residents use the corner to take a whiz in
Add soapy water ~ Presto! A 'Fizz-in!'

Imagine a living light
Self luminous & bright
Alive & aglow in the Sushumna funnel
Emanating rays of magnetic bliss radial
This is how it is
The elixirous fizz
Radiating inside out as ignition in renewal
The climaxical explosion a throb continual
Time alone can tell
How bliss will swell
Bubble of form fragile feels rising intensity
Leaving it to God to determine life or fatality

an angel’s face a cherub’s heart
a devil in blue jeans
her eyes say what lips may not
with tender glance it seems
could I ever hope to want
what is so out of reach
what is it that she has
I find so thoroughly complete
I stare in wonder
stand in awe
before unfinished work
gaze upon a tranquil beauty
where only angels lurk
I wish I could identify
that explosive additive
the special spark that’s hers alone
and only hers to give
how different life would have been
if I had never met
this fascinating lady
first seen in silhouette
what I need, what I want
and what I have to have
is not a passing fancy
or a backward wayward glance
whatever happens, happens
whatever shall be is
I thank the Lord he’s let me see
her effervescent fizz
