Flicker-free flame

prioritise what we seek
plug every energy leak
negate senses, look within
make heart pure and free from sin

focus fixed on God alone
resolve firm, consciousness hone
then in childlike trust just rest
ascending in playful jest

Aftertouch

I loved like a flame with no wind to fight,
still I flickered—just to feel alive.
He never stayed, but always lingered.
The echo outlasts the word.
I reach for what was never mine.
Even ghosts are warmer than silence.

Flicker Fine

O boulder, with pitch resin shine!
Flicker fine at night!
Fate and Fortune, thus we dine!
Sign, O line of sight!

Ichor in immortal veins?
Crenellate to hold.
No use waiting for the rains!
Sane and centrefold!

Explain, O my spark-lit brain?
Bone of throne and bane!
Blossom inward! Core and chain!
Melee, meet the main!

Gone and unreturned? We learned.
Oh, what we discerned.
Night of nail and

Flicker Back

I read the language of your flame
in whispers the world never taught me--
where every breath leaves ash on the soul
and love glows
just before it burns.

You speak in storms,
in echoes of rose and ruin,
where every pulse is both prayer and dare,
and I find myself--
not lost, but undone.

The beauty is brutal,
but oh, how it sings--
this art of

Flicker-free flame

As light of Self encased in organic form,
keeping this remembrance always in focus,
we’re poised in stillness in each and every storm,
expanding our heart along the love locus.
Save this awareness no practice is needed,
for when love as the voice of God is heeded,
all doings in our life are done by His hand,
which in surrender, soul does

Flicker of Hope

Darkest night gives way, 
A star's faint glimmer remains, 
Dawn's promise unfolds.

A Lone Candle Flicker

In the depths of sorrow, could it be love learns no more, for in a reluctant release of a love cast spell, could It be a shadow
dancing upon the weary wind
that slowly dies with the setting sun

A lone candle flicker as one poet writes ....

Faster Than a Flicker

I sort of hoped we would go out in flames, some dramatic spiral into rageful oblivion—a goodbye with ferocity and flair.

But instead, you fled… it was worse than a ghost how quietly you left.

No haunting, no wanting, just a blur—out of sight faster than a flicker.

I tried to follow the trail of your absence, but

A flicker

Old wood catches fire 
slowly it burns out leaving 
just an orange flicker

In labyrinths, shadows dance and flicker, a chessboard of time unfolds

In labyrinths, shadows dance and flicker, a chessboard of time unfolds,
Where dreams, like pawns, march solemnly through mist and silent groves,
And every queen, crowned with sorrow or with joy, knows the ancient moves,
For life, the hidden grandmaster, preordains each step our spirit beholds.
Under the canopy of night, constellations carve uncharted designs,
A chess game enshrined in

In the quiet corners of thought, where the stars of ideas flicker and bloom

In the quiet corners of thought, where the stars of ideas flicker and bloom,
I hold a belief, a sacred mantra whispered to the winds of destiny:
The free, exploring mind of the individual, a treasure beyond earthly measures,
A beacon in the labyrinth of existence, illuminating uncharted paths and unknown dreams.
This is my belief, the flame that

Just a single astral flicker births upon the darkness a crest of day

Just a single astral flicker births upon the darkness a crest of day,
A lone strand of wax, dancing its aura
Dispels the night –
In a delirium of glimmers that chase away the phantoms of fear,
Shaking the hegemony of silence with a hymn of photons.
Only a lone flake of snow, in its silvery cascades,
Composes a divine ode
