Premium MemberWith A Gentle Hand - Mystic

With soft touch of hands
mother smooths creases of fear—
folding in embrace
touching quivering candle
fingers humming haunting hymns

Love requires no hands
it invents its own language—
wing, beak, paw and lick
a body curled up to care
whispers —'you're safe'

Whales cuddle up close
dolphins ring rosy halos
seals seek safe harbors
penguins bow against the wind
birds soothe with beaks and feather

Love without fingers
a current that wraps and lifts
a tide unbroken
it cradles the heart within
steadies the faltering steps

Such love needs not touch—
it listens, watches, imbibes
hovering in care
joining two hearts together
with spirit of motherhood

Premium MemberThat aspect of us

That aspect of us, caged in form,
knows not it’s living light,
so fears fierce onslaughts of life’s storm,
till it imbibes clear sight.

Stretching the pregnant pause,
we get to know the cause
of conceptual flaws.

Track thoughts that nonplus 
That aspect of us

to be

excitedly injustice
awakening stampede
stopping as imbibes
desperate necks
heeling creeks
jumping dashes
merciful joy
i am not there, please hold
the bridle and the hoof
i see nothing of blunders fray
you have fickled my merriment
daring jester
come once again telling me your terror
in what age did god befall as visceral death
teaching young heretics as you
slavery's daughters lost
was rights and lost not providing in class
or dutifully sworn soldiers appearance
castling late blooming testimony

Premium MemberEmbodying the Light

Light is a linear beam of photons
particles streaming from there to here
emanating from an emitter's ions
inflamed by energy's cheer.

A golden glow at dawn imbibes
the world with enlightened grace,
christening the dark matter with vibes
that the light begins to trace.

For light itself has no body
It's an ether, a will o' the wisp
seeking to seep within and embody
a glow of reflection, bright and crisp.

Objects enlightened, cast a shadow
A reminder of the eternal darkness
that befalls all who lie beyond the glow
or beyond time, and fate's starkness.

when the eye is single 
all there is, is light
then differentiated perception
manifests play of illusions

time and space make possible
surfing the bardo
where betwixt dance of polarities 
toroidal heart imbibes love

beyond duality and non-duality
everything everywhere all at once 
we descend and ascend 
as we choose with vibrance

Premium MemberThe vaporised Self

With each life breath ushering dawn,
the past that once was, has been sawn,
that playing the cards as they fall,
outcome any, we stretch and yawn.

Each pulse within, is God’s love call,
reminding us we are the all,
as divine light, that lights all lights,
surging within as a bliss squall.

As both form and throb that delights,
poised at zenith of rapture’s heights, 
burning in this mind-body urn,
we perform our ego’s last rites.

Watching the boomerang return,
the law of karma we discern,
which but asks that we love with care,
gentling touch, with mindful concern.

Pristine awareness, self-aware,
having chosen with love to pair,
then imbibes wisdom from God’s mind,
a glow which is beyond compare.

memory recalls moments of epiphany 
which though now seem dormant
heart recognises as vibrating
veiled from awareness

accepting what is
in vibrancy celebratory 
we meld with humming vastness
becoming it whilst yet also here in form

thus as both in the material and ethereal
our awareness self-aware animated
imbibes and radiates throb of bliss
as both receptor and transmitter

My Country: The Philippines

I love the Philippines
I thank God for all
The beautiful creations
In our country
I love the beautiful beaches
In Palawan, in Boracay, in all
The beaches of 7,641 islands
I love the green and lush forest
I love the festival in all year round
The Sinulog, the Fiestas, the Christmas
I love the food dishes that imbibes culture
From the indigenous taste to Spanish cuisine
To the Chinese teahouse to the Western cafe
Much as I love is my own simple people
The mix of melting pot of breeds: The Filipinos
The mix of cultural heritage we have today
The hospitality and the smile we shared
To all people of the world
As they come to our places
Assured, secured and and well-respected
There's nothing like country as Philippines
The Pearl of the Orient Seas.

though form is dust
its reflex instincts
mirror the pulse
of God’s light
ever aglow
in heart

the Self
living light
imbibes love
breath by breath 
until ego is erased
revealing light of God

Premium MemberThe vaporised self

Propelled through a wormhole made by time in space,
Self as crystallised light, pulsates with delight,
as heart gently imbibes boons bestowed by grace,
inpouring breath by breath on soul’s wingless flight,
wherein holding warmth of love in close embrace,
wisdom of sages is ingrained byte by byte.
Such is as it is, if we cease to resist,
navigating the void, as does a bliss mist.

Premium Memberif our eye be single

Our third eye glistens, as we watch
bliss magnetism rise, notch by notch,
until each cell of feeble form 
imbibes these currents, cool and warm,
dancing on our spine’s vertebrae,
the tease divine, playing hopscotch,
God applauding the way we pray.

Poised attention animated,
we become light, as is fated,
doing nothing, save being still,
wonderstruck as voids within fill,
ego cravings, decimated.

Toroidal heart emits love’s scent,
paving way for our soul’s ascent.

taking in the view all at once
the magic of the moment is seized
soul presence imbibes the offering
rapture rises, our heart is pleased

Premium MemberHush the blush

Waking from deep sleep every morn,
centred in the cave of our heart,
before the flow of thought forms start,
in time stretched calm, ego is shorn.

As of soul’s choice we remain still,
doing nothing, poised in the void,
our pristine presence unalloyed,
imbibes boons of grace to heart’s fill.

Attentive awareness alert,
cognises pulse of magnetism,
cascading within feeble form
and as bliss continues to spurt,
igniting thus mind-body prism,
we feel God’s touch, tender and warm.

Premium MemberIs-ness of being-ness

As deep silence cloaks stillness,
soul presence as a bliss mist,
osmotically imbibes
nectar of the gods.

Premium MemberNavigating the void

Emptying heart of seeking and desire,
no thoughts arise and therefore ego dies,
whence presence, now an ethereal fire,
in the void of no-thingness, wingless flies.

The primal celestial music within,
reverberates with omnipotent force
deep in cave of heart, so we go therein,
becoming the flame, changing our life course.

Time and space dissolved, as we vaporise,
transformed as that, we had set out to seek,
feeling breath by breath, rapture within rise,
soul imbibes grace of which we may not speak.

The pathless path we have thus set upon,
finds us in each moment of time reborn.
