Flagship Poems

Sutra 11-12 from The Holy Science

“The aforesaid five objects, which are the negative attributes of the five electricities, being combined produce the idea of gross matter in its five forms: Ki, solids; Ap, liquids; Tejas, fire; Marut, gaseous substances; and Akasa, ether.

These five forms of gross matter and aforesaid fifteen attributes, together with Manas, Mind, sense consciousness; Buddhi, discriminative Intelligence; Chitta, the Heart or power of feeling; and Ahamkara, the Ego, constitute the twenty-four basic principles of creation.” 

~ extract from ‘The Holy Science’


In the realm of heaven, our eye is single
but with no adversities to overcome,
so the one becomes two and then they jingle
propelled by the power of the cosmic hum
and in the five elements they commingle,
ego distanced from heart, though soul is welcome.
Poised thus in subject-object relationship,
we discover God when love is our flagship.

State of the all quiet

relinquishing feeling of thought ownership 
silence is our default orientation 
innate vibrance of consciousness our worship
the void of cessation our meditation 
bliss in permanence is then our heart’s flagship
obtaining the power of bilocation
doing nothing yet as all doings are done 
recognising clearly God and we are one

My Vein: The biome of the Tender Heart

To be the warm and cool it
My vein is an empty place
Come to me and visit the
Floodplain of the gifted -
The biome of the tender heart
Be the flagship near my crater
Face. Crater me kind to find
The comfort under my skin
And vein, empty on the name
Of love, God gifted and high 
As heaven, I impeach you -
The talented fox hunter
The gifted frog butcher 
You the one I love and care 
For - who stole my respect
Before I could even give it

Touched by Holy Spirit

Encased in feeble form, doomed one day to die,
words penned in holy books offered no solace
and prayers that I muttered, quelled not heart’s sigh,
so exhausted being unable to lace
the truth of life, I deemed everything a lie,
plunging into silence to invoke God’s grace.
Many moons passed yet steady was my resolve,
to see without mirrors, that soul may evolve.

Having relinquished each and every belief,
I became a silent witness to my mind,
noticing that wayward ego was the thief
that stole soul’s peace, leaving head-heart misaligned
and so in staid silence, I turned a new leaf,
heeding voice of conscience, touch gentle and kind.
Exiting futile games of one-upmanship,
holding firm focus, love became my flagship.

Love being God’s force that ends separation,
in timeless time, Holy Spirit entered form,
romance divine, in an endless flirtation,
felt as magnetic currents both cool and warm,
causing within, energy nodes gyration,
which swept me away in this benign bliss storm.
Call this what you like and give it any name
but bliss in permanence is my claim to fame.

Pulsations of a Pure Heart

gently steer oh heart, each emote
that there be no ripple in space
for if thought scars cause soul to bleed
heaven will record our disgrace

where lies then childlike playfulness 
if every action is measured
so let then love be our flagship
that each life moment be treasured

The Way We Are

Our tender eyes betray the way we see
Honouring God’s presence within each heart 
That deems all of us as one, none apart 
Viewed thus from soul’s eye, joyous and carefree
Our innocence with bliss beats does agree
Having willingly added love to cart
Thus feeling bliss ignition within start
Being the way we become and so be

It maybe said that we’re not worldly wise
For we engage not in one-upmanship
Resting in our heart watching bliss beats rise
Beholding life’s flow in childlike surprise
With the pulse of love being our flagship
Distanced from the world of deceit and lies

Living Light

Let’s allow silence to propel
Magnetism that pervades our form
Know oh hermit, that all is well
Plunge into this benign bliss storm

Doing nothing, quieten mind
Let’s allow silence to propel
Our life pulse, free from ego’s bind
Bids erst fears and desires farewell

We’re in bondage to illusion
Parroting scriptures, we worship
Let’s allow silence to propel
Making love sublime our flagship

Vaporise, that bliss beats may rise
Grace in-pours from our fontanel
We’re living light! What a surprise 
Let’s allow silence to propel

Rule Your Life

Would anybody again board a ship
In which he'd shaken hands with hardship
Luckily saved by God we worship
Nearly the sharks joined from a flag ship?
Would one for the sake of kinship
Try the riskier journey of Airship
For a life to whom goes ownership
Or might one forfeit one's clear headship?

For God's sake let's shun every vessel
That makes one with oddest life wrestle.

School Days Now and Today

At 60 you hope for another school reunion
of your compatriots'
After all this was your first corporate flagship
(Blazers and satchels) 
Grandparents now, some retired
What is more reticent
is some of our teachers have died
but their legend lives on
such full characters
magnificent in their valour
deserving respect
Yet Facebook the great replacer
of friends reunited
cannot illicit enough responses
for a reunion or reaching out for figurines

Unclenched Fist

Loosen up a bit,
that head and heart fit
in cauldron of love,
working hand in glove.

Immersed in worship, 
with love our flagship,
once our fist’s unclenched,
heart becomes bliss drenched.

We ascend with ease, 
on choosing release,
from patterns of old
glued in ego’s mould.

For God to appear,
relinquish each fear
and gently align
under His love sign.

Plunge Into the Void

Drop expectation 
and hesitation;
thus ego’s destroyed,
plunge into the void!

When all seeking ends,
and will to God bends,
love grants her consent,
for our soul’s ascent.

It’s through surrender,
that unfolds wonder
of bliss magnetism,
within body prism.

Empty out each thought,
that we have been taught,
following love’s scent,
here and now present.

Dropping our doership,
when love’s our flagship,
no load on our chest,
God does all the rest!

Rope Is Not the Snake

Rope is not the snake

It’s high time we cease,
praying to appease;
far cry from the truth,
we must seek forsooth.

When love’s our flagship,
no oneupmanship
contortions surface,
knowing all is grace.

Sunlight falls on all, 
as does the bliss squall ~
simply enable,
rather than label.

God in-dwells within,
so let’s go therein,
without any crutch,
knowing Him by touch.

A Mariners Tale

On third voyage five centuries ago
   sailed the Spanish Main a Queen’s fleet south-west,
 and the age of discovery’s great glow
   shone upon caravels in ocean quest.
 Into island passage beyond gulf trail
   through Boca del Dragon on landing wave
 led the Genoan’s flagship under sail -
   safe travelled and spared a jagged reef’s grave.
“Behold far Indies, land of sun and realm -
   by crown and Royal Warrant I claim thee!”.
 That virgin New World, that far crossing helm,
   these possession Isles of the Trinity.
 In a mariner’s tale there’s one true love -
 sea and tide below and the stars above.


            Written: December 1995

A Wider View

Fire and smoke billows
in dreams through pillows.
Such’s our reaction,
when fear gains traction.

Demons of our mind
grip us in their bind,
unless we release 
fear and be at ease.

Game’s not black and white
or terror of night
but in unity;
world’s one entity.

Beyond line of sight,
we feel life’s alright.
Our hypnotic spell
bodes all is not well.

Selective goodness,
not one with oneness,
is but delusion;
dead mind’s confusion.

To usher order,
erase each border.
When love’s our flagship,
each breath’s God worship.

Lagging Behind

Lagging behind but we’ll make up
Light dispels all darkness
Grace overfloweth from God’s cup
Heart’s drenched in blissfulness 

Exiting all doership
With love as our flagship
Each life breath’s God worship

In ego’s bind
Lagging behind
