An attenuate sunlight piercing the thin film of air falls on and glistens the glossy leaf
With green lipstick on pouting lips
and pendulum sway in her walking—
adoration at finger tips—
thankfully we can’t hear her talking.
But now, everyone is without poise.
HD glares and surround-sound noise—
Producer of his own life story
content in all its gory glory.
The six-finger selfie in church
claimed by the Director to be right—
his hue clashed wildly with the pyrite.
Minions’ common sense left in lurch.
The grainy figure lost his detail
as the entourage has now hightail’d.
Our crown glistens, as rapture peaks
Borne by magnetic heat
God focus stops energy leaks
Our joyous heart’s upbeat
Hermit, look nor askance
This life’s our only chance
To Moin the bliss beat dance
Love throb quickens
Our crown glistens
Soul glistens, in our heart aglow
Tip toe there in silence
Holy Spirit, the cosmic flow
Rekindles innocence
Love at play now, within
For pilgrims free from sin
Hark heart call; go therein
Pulse quickens
Soul glistens

Quietus
Third eye glistens, when heart quiet
Space doorway to wisdom
When soma nectar our diet
We enter God’s kingdom
When lower mind we purge
Subject and object merge
Manifesting bliss surge
Our soul listens
Third eye glistens

Quietus
Heart
quivers,
signalling
it’s aliveness,
as love eternal,
being the God essence,
in-dwelling all existence,
powered by His vital life breath,
which we may feel at our heart centre,
impulse of our soul, entwined with spirit.
Mind melds with heart, propelled by love divine,
devoid of narrow fears and desires,
co-creates by resonation,
acting as a love conduit,
magnetised emptiness,
throbbing in fullness,
love energised,
healing all
by pure
touch.

FIRST PLACE
In the ancient cemetery of a small town
wherein the number of its dead
far outweighs the number of the town’s
current living population,
numerous dirt paths meander
past the beautiful green of well-tended grass.
Where a lilac bush graces one secluded spot,
Lilah stands alone before her husband’s tombstone.
The newness of its polished marble
reflects the newness of the young woman’s plight
as it glistens in the sunlight.
Dropping to her knees,
Lilah feels the glisten of
fresh tears.

Ice on tree glistens
Beautiful sight to see it
Limb breaks off
