Sitting by the sunny sea
by a sweet posh vacation dream hut
suddenly heaven is within reach

Instant Potato Mix

I’ve never learned the art of a reliable recipe,
only the art of guessing who might eat it.

I will learn what you love,
the way you take your coffee,
that you’d rather have mustard on your sandwich,
that you prefer your toothpaste tastes like fruit instead of mint.

You see, I try too hard.
My food can’t be one flavor—
that would

IN A GILDED INSTANT

IN A GILDED INSTANT

The monarch’s wings opened as a picture book, fluttering by. It glided, uncertain but undeterred, through a gentle haze of gold and shadow, the garden’s hush punctuated by the faint murmur of leaves. Sunlight filtered in rare skeins, dappling the monarch’s patterned wings as it hovered, hesitated, and then pressed onward—a flicker

Instant awakening

not senses but the witness
likewise for joy and pain
unchanging screen of awareness
eternal Self free from stain

beyond waking, dreaming and deep sleep
turiya, the constant fourth state
we take therein a consciousness leap
fulfilling our ordained fate

after ego is exhumed
we attain direct recognition 
concepts held deplumed 
of truth that has no definition

our true being is living light
renewing itself in

Instant Society

Instant Society
 Everyone is in a hurry.
 Instant society.
 Always demanding.
 Never appreciate.
 Instant everything.
 Instant Whining.
 Instant complaining.
 Always needing something.
 Greed needs more money.
 Instant controlling.
 Someone is always barking.
 Angry world, never subside the pain.

In an Instant

Bird songs instead of beeping machines
My body free from tubes and attachments
Goodbye to ICU , welcome home in comfort
As peace surrounds me and  pets love on me
Slowly I walk, one step at a time
Slowly I do things, one moment at a time
I am thankful I lived, my mind is still whirling
Everything suddenly happened so

Instant Salvation

Sudden light descends, 
But roots need time to grow deep, 
True change takes its course.

Instant Connection Star Wars Tribute Rondel

With a ‘May the Force be with you.’
we have an instant connection. 
Bespin’s a welcome distraction,
right through the asteroids they flew.

We’re members of the Falcon’s crew,
each essential to it’s function.
With a  ‘May the Force be with you.’
we have an instant connection.

Multiplex, drive-in, the whole slew.
Say it fierce, there’s no objection.
Other films? No competition. 
You

Instant knowing

Fragmented thought strives to join all the dots,
attempting to make sense of what appears 
but analysis partitioned in slots,
can define not pathways bliss rapture spears.

Calling upon a fish to climb a tree,
dog to work out square root of minus one,
the sunken to tell us how to be free,
doomed to failure, thus we must come undone.

blushing cheeks
like roses or watermelons.
heart aflutter - it's silly,
to stutter - 
stutter?

all too aware of my gaze
and the magnetism you exert on it
damn it, I hardly know you
and you've got me writing poems.
you're ****in cool, anyway,

In An Instant

In an instant…
One can feel the love from a Glenn Hughes song
The rhythm quickly soothing one’s soul

In an instant…
One can love his bass sounds
Complimenting one’s heart beats 

In an instant…
One can sway and dance 
‘Getting tighter all the time’

In an instant…
One can know the Voice of Rock
Is here for us always

In an instant…
One can love

In An Instant

The incisive probe of insight
dissects my life’s stratum of delusion, 
the shards of shattered pretense 
scatter as discarded debris, 
the mind reminds itself to forget.

The blizzard of discontent blows,
my desolate heart turns 
into a tree defoliated in wasteland,
far away from verdant thicket.
The sunburst day fades out fast, 
dusk envelopes the twilight sky.  

I don’t

In An Instant

As he spoke,  
His words were like a hammer, shattering the defences of darkness.  
They were like light tunnelling through the night.  
They were like the sun rising to brighten the sky.  

Oh, we were misled by our choices.  
Oh, we were obscured by our decisions.  
We walked believing

In An Instant

                   a cynosure of all eyes
                        carrying danger 
     

AN INSTANT

An instant touch 
Can bring life 
Fertilize an egg
Procreate and excel 

Expand on an idea
Stand on business
Grow your company 
Instant entrepreneurial touch

An instant touch
Can bring death
Shot of a gun 
Driving drunk 

An instant touch can heal
Like the woman in the bible 
Who had an issue of blood
Touched His hem was made whole
