Illumined Poems


Premium MemberIllumined Innocence

Playfulness childlike
causes bliss to spike,
if our heart clings not
to decaying rot.

Embrace and release,
flowing like the breeze;
no rear view mirror,
hence no heart tremor.

Waves of the ocean
cause no commotion,
as they just flow on,
each moment reborn.

Feeling heartbeats sing,
to what should we cling 
for each pulse is new
like the morning dew?

Premium MemberIllumined Intent

Pure intent, by love energised
Destiny materialised
Power of our co-creation
Our heart’s desires soon realised 

We start with purification 
Ending doubts of separation
Becoming still before release
Of potent reverberation

Love caress playful, is at ease
Manifests as heart does so please
Mindful that seeds of joy sown grow
Enlivened by soul spawned bliss breeze

Premium MemberInfusing Illumined Intent

Our differentiated perception,
arising from stuporous awareness;
unsteady stance, cause of agitation,
oscillating between light and darkness,
self-blocks our innate state of blissfulness.
Flicker-free flame, pure heart, devoid of stain,
renews attention again and again,
melding thus with the flow, in stillness slow,
erst ego fears and desires, to rest lain,
revealing soul luminous, heart aglow.

The glow of the tree
So pretty, immerses me
In the tranquil transparency
Of colorfully illumined clemency.

Premium MemberIllumined Intent

Each cry of affirmation 
an outpouring 
purity of intent
outcome determining

If the desire be selfless
non-judging 
from the heart
is then Gods will shining

Premium MemberIllumined Path

Night donned sparkle of moonbeam, 
drizzled from sky when it gleamed
on the cascade of stardust,
draping my wasteland dreams flushed.

Lost in desert with no glare,
I saw in you the pole star,
took me to your aurora,
sank in longing patina.

Like the sky your silk face blushed
in my dream hued by sunburst,
missed path to you illumined
in new dawn’s enticing

Premium MemberIllumined By God

Illumined by God thru the Scriptures’ light
Led to do the Lord’s will with the Spirit’s might
Loved so much around the Saviour’s compassion-delight
Upheld for faith-driven good works’ height
Moved toward grateful worship, joyously bright
Imparted with divine nature that is godly and right
Nourished by grace* and mercy day and night
Assured of eternal salvation’s security for heaven’s flight
Directed along

Illumined Tapestry

Circled light from angels' faces dawning
traces the darkening way all feet must tread,
reflecting forgotten silhouettes on rain wet streets.

Old city lights beam bright pathways through the gloom,
resplendent pools shimmering luminous enchantment,
mirroring tear washed memories of distant pasts.

Buried beneath regret-slick brick roadways,
specters gather round glowing gas lamps--
modern street lights' ancestral flames--
ghost lovers lingering in shining orbed

Illumined Pleasures

Le passé 
Mon enfance 
Eileen deviating from my path 
Some eggs waiting in the sink 
I felt the cold eating my naked feet 
As I killed my last cigarette 
Ma mémoire s’envole 
Vers les horizons 
De mon enfance 
De ma mère 
La silhouette d’Eileen 
Surfaces again 
Takes over 
As I am watching the invasion 
Of
