Premium Member Where Are We

“share with me, your thoughts when in aloneness
reflecting level of your consciousness”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As we grow older, have we become wise
Is our each entrée spontaneity 
Or thoughts camouflaged behind shifty eyes

Is our flow anger or tranquility
Are our thoughts, words and deeds in alignment 
Kind and gentle or in ferality

Desires unceasing without abatement 
Nurturing ego borne guilt and regret
Mirrored by fears rooted in attachment 

Oh hermit! Love aligned, we stand erect
Vibrant bliss in heart being the summit

Premium Member Cultural Blindness

In psychology and communications theory
We notice experiences of cognitive/affective dissonance--

What an anthropologist might note
as a cultural legacy of cognitive blindness--
epically unfortunate events

And a health therapist 
might not notice as a pathological orthodoxy
preventing mere health objects of history
from acting and voting
in our own greatest subjective wealth of multicultures
promoting IdentityHealth resiliently-responsible self-interests.

Lost keys

I just had them, they were on my person,
Have you seen them?
They have a keyring of gizmo, 
He was my favourite growing up.
The keys opened up so much,
Where could they be?
In a safe I have all precious things,
Gem stones, gold and documents,
Proof of corporeal voyage,
My passport is in there,
I feel stuck here until I find those keys.
There is a small vial in there too with an iridescent grain,
That is my soul.
The keys abandon unmoors aporia drifts of progress.

Have you seen my keys?
My car keys,
I don’t remember where I parked,
I was moving, I just had them,
They were on my person.
I picked up a wayfarer cloaked in dust,
They spoke of vaults sealed,
And the long vigil beside the road of forgetting.
We stopped at that way station,
We needed fuel and snacks.
They are around here somewhere I’m sure, we need to keep moving.
Road signs leading to Eidolon, the city for the Abatement youth.

My house keys were on there,
The little silver one with the teeth like a crocodile.
I’m outside the door and patting down my pockets,
I slap my hips and my bum and my chest,
Mnemosyne’s lapse hides the parts of me.
It’s warm and the sun holds me in embrace,
I won’t panic as I look into the window of the abode,
A sanctum out of reach, 
even if I can touch the lock and shout through the letterbox,
I don’t think anyone is home.

There is a small key too,
That unlocks the heart shaped padlock,
I used it to seal my fate.
I knew, even then, it needed sealing.
It needed to be locked so nobody could take it from me,
I kept it from myself because I always lose everything.

This is driving me nuts!
I looked under the carpet and
In the sand,
Traced my steps,
I sat in silence,
The last place I felt safe,
in your embrace, thoughts of the times I turned the key.
Do these keys keep me feeling safe?
Please,
They are here somewhere,
This is exhausting, I need to shut my eyes for a second.

You woke me up with your soft voice,
Eyes close to mine,
It’s time to go,
We can leave it all behind.
The locks don’t matter anymore.

Premium Member Kaula Path of Tantra

The here & now continuum complete
On an as is where is basis suffused with bliss replete
Caveat being no thought interference 
Attention flow unfettered in divine entwined parlance 

On relinquishing desire for attainment 
Knowing maya conjures illusions without abatement 
There remains resident no doer within
Our hollowed out body drawing in divine magnetism 

Flowing unresistant in trust & wonder
We embrace, hold & release each pulse in surrender
Free of both anticipation & stagnation 
Gently imbibing and celebrating throb of bliss elation

Nestled thus in thought rested silence
Integrated with the divine sublime in playful parlance 
We are as we are content & complete
The child within in exuberance each pulse does greet

At Gods lotus feet

Premium Member Our Autobiography

finding ourselves here
awareness self-aware
ensouling form feeble 
sensory touch external
our lower mind stirring
found ego urges rising
oft against conscience 
throttling our innocence 
reinforcing this torture
veiling love hues subtler 
until we became dead
going where desires led
in cyclic joy and sorrow
fearful of the morrow
anchored in narrowness 
living in stuporousness 

over time we did realise
that love never does size
playful non-judgmental 
ever vibrant and amiable
aglow moment to moment 
in joy without abatement 
continuum heart centric
imbibing currents eclectic 
simply flowing like breeze
we embrace and release
when thoughts disappear
as waves of bliss spear
magically and osmotically 
vivifying form beauteously 
representing flow of life
devoid of ego borne strife

getting to this recognition 
we opt for polarity rotation
resting thought fragmented 
identity driven and limited
releasing flow of attention
in vibrant void of cessation 
wherein in childlike trust go
wherever winds of love blow
with no trace of expectation 
as also sense of anticipation 
welcoming offered surprise 
there being no ego to apprise
whereupon one with universe
aligned with the divine verse
thus in but not of this world
innate blissfulness unfurled 

choosing to abide in silence
we rekindle loving innocence 
as Gods essence boundless
ever entwined with oneness
this earth is our play centre
where in joy we may canter
mind body but an interface
being breathed by His grace
thus no doing need be done 
save exiting ego stagnation 
fixated not at any coordinate
tranquil in stillness sedate
melding head with our heart
with all one and none apart
is-ness of being-ness bliss
Gods hand continues to bless

Premium Member For the Moment

For the moment, we pause needless striving
That dear friends, includes habit of thinking
Shedding fears and guilt needing atonement 
Rekindling instead, innate bliss quotient
Shifting into joy stream, celebrating 

Life is fleeting, yet struggle unending
Oh hermit, live fully, time’s-a-wasting 
Discard the ego urge for attainment 
For the moment

Pause to smell the roses, soul uplifting
Smile at the stranger, our hearts expanding
Shift into staid stillness, in contentment 
Bliss within renews, without abatement 
Is-ness of being-ness scintillating 
For the moment

Unconditional Paternal Love Toward Shana Punim

Screaming writhing violent
uncontrollable spasms of abandonment
immediately followed her (like Mary's lamb)
where e'er she went
verbal communication attempt didst rent
ear piercing outpouring

barrage heard clearly by vested gent,
a bajillion miles away e'en
stymying the likes of Lois Lane, Clark Kent
or special ABC letter writ agent,
when aforementioned younger daughter
raged day and night without abatement

soon after our baby's birth
agonizing distress self evident
when bundle of joy became a toddler,
which ordinary concomitent
expectant joyful milestones
hoop fully attendant

with hypothetical offspring
aurally learning oral rudiment
basis of language skill
with instructional accouterment
mastering native tongue
celebratory breakthru achievement

acquiring brisk command of lingua franca
easily excelling telly
tubby "FAKE" accent
gibberish with cogent
encoded development coaxed ability
regarding divine acknowledgement

pertaining to obvious delayed development,
when dada decried disabled
doc's "NON FAKE"
dupe forced mine abhorrent
realization upon crestfallen papa,
that our precious progeny

requisite remedial requirement
versed here, viz poetic abridgement
thee youngest of
(deux) daughters afflicted
at young age initial

general consensus genetic accident
engendered ambiguous diagnosis,
cuz forming words absent
purportedly linkedin with
high functioning autism
spurred self blame abutment,

sans cognitive fluke (most
likely inherited) malady immediate adherent
parental duty entailed, promoted
vouchsafed, et cetera
lifelong intervention convert,
a blessed webbed accompaniment

decades later nearly wrought total abolishment
whereat now grown year old lass
defied wildest predictions, adjustment
witnessed thee cherished apple of my eye
metamorphosed since early adolescent

to secure part time employment
attending Bend, Oregon Community College
and coordinating advancement,
where Shana Punim secured plane ticket
and took to friendly skies to my amazement!

Crown

"Crown"



My eyes are on you
Blue Sky
From where I stand
my eyes are grass green 

silver cut 
grass green 
sharp and hungry

My lips are persimmon sweet
ripe and dripping words 
thick and smooth 
like warm honey

My mind is open wide
like your eyes
Blue Sky

sharp 
sonar seductive
dark and strong
as black tea

echolocation 
bouncing against 
your body

wings beating
wet waves 
against your hot skin
Wings spread wide

I am Awake 
all yours
upside down 

Fever rides you
I break you in
wearing your crown
your skin glistening

From where I lay
my eyes are 
silver cut 
glass green

My eyes are on you
Blue Sky


(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)







"If music be the food of love, play on; 
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, 
The appetite may sicken, and so die. 
That strain again! it had a dying fall: 
O! it came o'er my ear like the 
sweet sound That breathes upon
a bank of violets, 
Stealing and giving odour..."
Act 1 Scene 1 
Twelfth Night




"Enough, no more.
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price
Even in a minute. So full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical."

Premium Member It Only Seems That Way

Upon earth facing adversity
as we are shaped upon the anvil
oblivious to our innate pulse of divinity
we strive and struggle surrendering not will
causing disequilibrium of our serenity 
until love divine in heart instils 
throb of bliss in continuity

It only seems that way
since fickle attention sways
making ego cravings our mainstay 

Feeling thus separate from the source
focusing solely upon personal attainment 
we succumb to feral thought patterns coarse
desires spiralling within without abatement 
nudging us to resort to the use of force
spewing seeds of discontentment 
until love corrects our course 

It only seems that way
since fickle attention sways
making ego cravings our mainstay

Premium Member Every Blissful Moment

What is the green in bending leaves we hear 
so clear from all the moment’s parting air.
Could we insert ourselves between that pair
and be where we have always been, yet newly there.
Unconscious beauty will ignore all raptured stare
setting suns indifferent to our adoration’s care,
allowing her flowers to bloom out loud, 
applying white of every cloud, to sky of blue. 
Allowing paler whispers of a quiet hue 
descend as field of stars and cover you. 
Free distribution of properties unique, 
even in proportion to our breath before we speak, 
whether whisked away or held in its abatement,
suspended to the finish of her kiss 
then faint back into normal life
away from momentary bliss.
