Temporal Paradox

“Temporal Paradox”



Make a space for my body
push the sides apart

temporal paradox

passing torch to beacon 
to Light 

ALL MY LOVE

when I’m gone
You continue from the start

temporal paradox
causal loop

Love, 
My life burns forever 

for You,

in the Heart

(LadyLabyrinth/2021)

"...push the sides apart
this is what I'm controlling
it's a mold 
the inside that I carve"


"I seem to have loved you 
in numberless forms, 
numberless times…
In life after life, 
in age after age, 
forever.
My spellbound heart 
has made and remade 
the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, 
wear round your neck 
in your many forms,
In life after life, 
in age after age, 
forever...."

Heaven Is Not Far Away

Heaven is not far away 
I told the preacher man 
To set me free 
Cos I don't want to die 
Before I go to heaven 
I don't want to be perfect
About the next life 
I just want to live the life now 
How can I forbid this natural
Heaven on earth 
Expecting to die to achieve a paradise
What happen to the ones here 
What happen to happiness on earth 
What happen to love in the world 
What happen to life here on our planet 
Must it be the hell we never hope to see 
Or could we make it a heaven for us all 
For as long as am concerned
Heaven is not far away

Heaven is not far away
On this same planet 
Some are living as kings 
Some are living as slaves 
On this same globe 
Some are rich 
A lot are so poor 
On this same universe
Some burn in hell
While 
Some find heaven 
So don't tell me about the after life heaven
For as long as am concerned
Heaven is not far away

Premium Member Bilocating consciousness

Within the lucid dream, we played our role,
adapting to oscillations we caused,
being but a game for heart to feel whole,
repeating as refrains till thoughts were paused.

Such is as it is, as cause and effect,
wherein we’re both the dreamer and the dreamed,
for as long as desires frolic unchecked,
life after life upon earth will be streamed.

Notice how a flame flickers in the breeze
until the candle is placed in a sconce,
so likewise to be blissful and at ease,
let love ensconce heart, gentling our response.

Bilocating between form and vast space,
moment by moment, we imbibe God’s grace.

Premium Member Light That Lights All Lights

Line of inquiry 
  
   " We look for that light eternal 
    that doesn't come and go
    the screen upon which life plays
    cognised in staid stillness slow."

     Eternal light  to enlighten 
     inert soul staying in deep sleep :
     Hidden consciousness to brighten.
     Awareness attempting to peep.

     Life is displaying a  canvas
     to paint your art from birth to death
     Sincere attention to focus
     on purpose of life, at each breath.
      
     ' Who am I ?' , ' From where I have come ' ,
     ' Where to go ?' What happens at end ?
       Silent soul remains cool and calm.
      ' What's after life ? Can't apprehend.
      
       Where is the light that lights all lights 
       to wake up soul till in dormant state !
       But darkness of ignorance fights
       inquiring the ultimate fate..

Premium Member Poetry Is the Remedy

i life
Reflections in the mirror increase resentment.
Tarnished heart pursues vengeful contentment
Disillusioned, you hide in fictitious make believe,
possessed by demons who purblind and deceive.
In your bogus twisted fabricated state of mind,
answers to your questions you shall never find.
Your fraudulent mask poses, deceptively concocted,
mocking with a grim masquerade you have adopted.

ii death
As your heart blackens with the absence of light,
Lucifer summons you closer, to his sheer delight.
Loved ones cannot save you from hell's burning heat,
there's nothing behind you but shadows of deceit.
Now that your toxic nature has begun to expire,
you can no longer suck energy like a vampire.
Nobody cares to listen to your forged confession.
There is only joy in the absence of your aggression.

iii after life
Pain like hungry howling wolves irritates skin deep.
After all this time, why do you sabotage my sleep?
Am I cursed that I see your silhouette in my dreams,
I'm struggling to ignore your torrid smouldering screams.
Why continue to haunt me like a vicious viper?
Firing shells of cyanide like a silent sniper.

iv remedy for change
I'm fortunate that my quill has become my shield,
for every wound, poetry is my remedy to be healed.
My ink is my saviour, bursting through my vein,
a catharsis for peace, as from hate I abstain.

Premium Member Reminiscing

Much time was wasted pursuing narrow goals,
birthing attachments we were loathe to let go,
so life after life we kept changing our roles,
always in bondage to our wayward ego,
amidst shape shifting illusions it controls,
till the day we chose to make speed of thought slow,
instrumentalised like a limb so to speak,
thereby easily plugging energy leak.

Looking back we see that we were always free
but since we knew not that we are living light,
deluded by desires, bound to our mind tree, 
contracted by fears, we knew not bliss delight
till the day we got head and heart to agree
and in the void of silence garnered clear sight,
whence as the vaporised self, as the bliss flame,
doing nothing at all, we fulfilled our aim.

Life Afterlife

THERE WAS A DOOR TO WHICH I FOUND NO KEY;
THERE WAS A VEIL THROUGH WHICH I MIGHT NOT SEE;
THERE WAS SOME TALK AWHILE OF ME AND THEE
THERE WAS - AND THEN NO MORE OF THEE AND ME.

I SENT MY SOUL THROUGH THE INTANGIBLE,
SOME FABLE OF THAT AFTER-LIFE TO TELL;
AND BY AND BY MY SOUL RETURNED TO ME
AND ANSWERED "I MYSELF AM HEAVEN AND HELL";

STRANGE IS IT NOT ? THAT OF THE MYRIADS WHO
BEFORE US PASS'D THE DOOR OF DARKNESS THROUGH,
NOT ONE RETURNS TO TELL US OF THE ROAD
WHICH TO DISCOVER WE MUST TRAVEL TOO.

THE REVELATIONS OF DEVOUT AND LEARN'D 
WHO ROSE BEFORE US, AND AS PROPHETS BURN'D
ARE ALL BUT STORIES, WHICH AWOKE FROM SLEEP,
THEY TOLD THEIR COMRADES, AND TO SLEEP RETURN'D

I Was In Heaven Yesterday

I went to heaven yesterday

They say heaven lies after life 
Yet 
Another man heaven is here 
On earth 

Cos I was there yesterday 

I saw the smiles of greed
On the faces of those 
Trusted by the many 


I saw how really was the heaven 
On earth 
Cos it glories are filled 
Of the crys of the innocent

It decoration was the mark 
Of the hell we bear 

They merry in heaven alot 
Yes on the cost of our freedom

This heaven was the reason 
When suffer in hell on earth 

A beautiful heaven 
Yet a curse for the poor 

What a heaven 
No wonder I understand 
The quest of the innocent
Dying in a dying world today cos

I was in heaven yesterday

Premium Member Crypt and Memories of the Past

Crypt and memories of the past

I feel like a corpse in a morgue, I am already that, a living dead
My crypt is so cold, dark, blind darkness everywhere, life after life
I got up, but the door was closed, this is my prison, found myself here the eternal life

Passed years, passed life, forgotten love, only illusion of my life, and illusory of the world, deceit
Child age, youth, parents, family, our house, sisters and brothers, girlfriends, workplaces, church, and my bicycle have not existed, it was all make-believe
Hmm, very bad this cemetery life, the smell of death, infinite demonic life, and eternal suffering became my class after death

Maybe this is Hell. Is this the Hell? Hmm, I don't know, it’s blind of mind, but not a human life, not a man's life, not a human being anymore
I want to leave this life, but I can’t this crypt is my jail, there is no light, just memories, and memories from the past run everywhere in my mind
Hmm, I can’t do anything, I am a prisoner of my past, when do I get out of here? I don’t know, no idea, time is cruel, my memories kill my life

Premium Member MY DIVINE I AM

When my final shade is drawn,
my breath all spent, truly gone,
I will end life’s marathon
and release my essence strong.
I will blend with divine light
to ascend to Heaven’s heights.
Just as with my other lives,
I will meet with my advisor
who exists to grow me wiser.
Together we will next review	
all my wrongs, my every right
from the earth life I just knew.
With ever divine, eager bliss,
my advisor will compare this list
to God’s perfect, master scroll
of truth’s lessons for each soul.
From that a purpose will unfold -
an outline of my next human goals.
We will agree to use déjà vu
to prompt my earth-self on true.
After life mapping, when it is through,
Father will wrap me in His hug;
as child of love, void of sin,
I will then be reborn once again.

Thus, Our Father will shape me
as ideal before He takes me
To see and be free for eternity.
When as fallible human being
my spirit completes each lesson,
my “I Am” will shine in Heaven.
I will be one light people see
when they adore the galaxy
where I will glow for eternity.
