The Landlady Turned Rogue

back a small number of years thee diva of this domicile
exhibited an aura, charisma, enigma…devoid of any guile
boot of late turned a cold shoulder to me and I’ll
avoid denigrating, haranguing, and lambasting said dell lisle
la, whose avoidance behavior toward me – who goes a mile
out of her way to ensure our paths do not cross – noah din nile
per the above – well, perhaps a slight bit of hyperbole 
    viz this, mine swift tailored, harried style
per potpourri of puzzling perturbation evinced 
   by said olde world germane German dame we lease this duplex
   treating us, as if we committed some egregious crime
   subsequently forced to stand trial
viz aversion toward this convivial, frivolous and introspective chap
   methinks said realtor/renter joined a coven den 
   where doe eyed zen of thieves 
   occupy teaching rubric of mean-ness while
taking appropriate and selective pages from play book of sarah palin,

which tension unlikely to cease for the next nine months till the deed
doth expire, where by this witch a  taw hook cans ass (ours) will be freed
of renting a long and fostered, roach and fox infested, century21 
   from once salient sympathetic ear this now manifested Scrooge like greed
reminding us (essentially via cessation of any interaction), 
   how she once did heed
to our various and sundry travails – though neither myself nor spouse, 
   the latter whose vociferousness regularly exudes loathsomeness 
   toward key per, once a vouch saving storied angel without fail and indeed
wife tis not shy to vent where a plethora of expletives lead
   rant and rave toward an impending crisis that will me send out an SOS 
ever felt compelled to join Hemlock society or drown sorrows in mead
yet disappointment arises, when formerly positive dynamic now im peed
did by reasons unbeknownst to me, 
   who feels grateful ye chanced to read
my babbling of poetically irrational from a regular Joe, 
   who doth not sport Harris Tweed
nor (despite any immediate intimations) 
   doth newt smoke booze nor drink week.

If we be empty,
nothing should be taboo,
whence poised in stillness,
bliss magnetism we woo.

The inner sound current
hums in the background,
being the veil though which
the noumena is found.

The void of no-thingness
or life here manifest,
coordinate any,
our presence is at rest.

Bliss mirrors our heartbeat,
shape shifting as peace,
when our eye is single
and thought forms we release.

Sages of old caution,
save by bilocation,
we would always fall short
of true liberation.

Omnipresence is still,
having nowhere to go,
yet feels each sensation
of every heart’s glow.

Lost in dream worlds conjured,
though there are no chains,
cessation enables
cleansing of heart’s stains.

We are the magician,
who has caged light innate
and now on earth strive,
to walk through heaven’s gate.

Thought cessation, welcome interruption 
The zone of polarity rotation 
Quietude the door, allowing Gods grace
On stretching stillness, at an easy pace 
Long thought hiatus, our meditation 

We are empowered for co-creation
Our intent colours manifestation
Path simple, so let us cut to the chase
Thought cessation

Lower mind resting, births revelation
Within sphere of our active cognition
We feel divine love within, face to face
Bliss magnetism ignites, our inner space
Needless striving shifts to celebration 
Thought cessation

In a lull, I’m calm in placed in a sleep;
With soothing sounds and movements, that peeks;
"The rhythm of the soothe quiet hush, what a rush”;

Lullaby pauses, that cessation, of my respite hiatus;
In a lull In my lacks of activity, breaks of suspensions;
Lulled deep into lulls, rock to sleep waken agitate, depression;

So in a temporal interval of quiet or lack of activity;
“The rhythm of the clam quiet hush, what a rush”;
In Lull quiet storms, diminished winds, no quails just hush;

So noticeable guess I just in a lull, while in the calm;
In Lull Hush! You’ll awaken the me non-verbal;
Quietly the lee is submitting peace unnoticed;


In Lull Similar intervals, quiet peaks of risen heights;
Quiet storm, diminished winds, no quails just hush;
"The rhythm of the soothe quiet hush, what a rush”;

Soft and cool, breezes succeeding to,  put me to sleep;
In Lull keeps my dreams, my quiet heart dreams relief;
Midday nap, helped to reviles me, quiet songs keeps me dreaming;


With soothing sounds, of movements, that peeks;
"The rhythm of the soothe quiet hush, what a rush”;
In a lull, I’m calm in placed, in a gleeful lull;

Mindfully Enjoying the Moment

When mind is in the moment, thoughtlessness prevails"
~
Keep your mind away from thoughts that rebound
Hear the mesmerizing melodic music of surround
Bask in the bewitching beauteous objects that astound
Sense all the sensations you skin has sensed around
Inhale the myriad magnetic fragrances floating around
Experience boundless bounteous bliss of God abound

Mindfulness leads to cessation
Of thoughts, the causation
Of our miseries, our vexation

Mindfulness makes us aware of creation
Leading to captivation
Then to our admiration
And acclamation
Of love of God flowing without cessation

When thoughts end
Vibrations ascend
We transcend

The body
Situated in Samadhi
experiences bliss eternal
Sees soul internal

Attains salvation
Instant elation
To final destination

Forced solitude began with loneliness 
Resulting in consciousness contraction 
Shifting to vibrancy in aloneness

Looming spectre of death birthed fearfulness
Plunging our mind into agitation
Forced solitude began with loneliness 

Survival instinct heightened awareness 
Softened attention our meditation 
Shifting to vibrancy in aloneness

Tranquil calm replaced erst rebelliousness 
We sought solace in void of cessation 
Forced solitude began with loneliness 

Empathy awoke, spewing lovingness
Our heart now overflows with compassion 
Shifting to vibrancy in aloneness

Recognising interconnectedness 
Love, not fear, our hearts orientation 
Forced solitude began with loneliness 
Shifting to vibrancy in aloneness

What words are apt, to transfer emotion
Where lies the fulcrum of throbbing vibrance
What makes cessation, lead to elation
Which hue of dusk, triggers its remembrance 

Soft brilliant hues of spiritual light 
Invisible flickers in space are known 
Ignition renewal through day and night
Rapture beyond measure, we alone own

Pranic pathways within, coming alive 
Wisdom downloads and a ride in the void
Nodes within form, to music divine jive
Our thought rested awareness, by love buoyed

Such open secrets, hidden in plain sight
Teleports our heart to boundless delight

Most Mind Boggling Mysterious Mortal

Mystification prevails stupefying yours truly
befuddled, he blindly stumbles along rocky
pathway illusory impediments strewn helter
skelter intangible obstructions hinder access
psychological barricades effective impasse

detains, deters, detours manhood maturation
manumission manifestation materialization
linkedin, when permanent submission arises
beckoning corporeal leaden entity into avast
eternal realm, where material disintegration

promises venerable salvation releasing angst
strummed plucked fretful existence denied
utmost exploration sequestered soul hermit
tickly sealed courtesy custom made NON-
GMO supercalifragilous expialidocious

airtight, vacuum sealed with trademarked
matts scott good housekeeping approval
lifetime achievement award maintaining
quasi pristine mint like condition afford

functionality, yet batteries NOT required
and assembly unnecessary, but maximum
remaining life usage, asper garden variety

bubble, lest exposure to human contact are
rouse dormant (latent) propensity breeding
biologically pre programmed predilection
to propagate species, this despite low libido
level, thus Memorial sale steal (actually no

expiration coincides with natural longevity)
slight depreciation before cessation arises,
which I project - little less than half life of
ordinary Earthling, whose quixotic, poetic,

ecologic, plus conscientious ethos promises
greater fulfillment, sans spirit, mind, and
body versus being addicted, hypnotized, or
tranquilized by latest technologic contraption.

Knowing eye of the hurricane is still,
Heart’s tranquil in the void of cessation,
Simply allowing God to do His will.

All that’s manifest, is God’s creation.
The table’s laid, everything’s ready made;
Heart’s tranquil in the void of cessation.

We search for joy, that with time does not fade;
Enabled when we choose to surrender.
The table’s laid, everything’s ready made.

Have we felt not within, silent thunder?
Bliss, as in scriptures, ours for the asking,
Enabled when we choose to surrender.

Ceasing striving, ending multitasking,
We feel heightened rapture, within resume;
Bliss, as in scriptures, ours for the asking.

Employing free will, to cravings exhume,
Knowing eye of the hurricane is still,
We feel heightened rapture, within resume,
Simply allowing God to do His will.

Premium Member Ashtavakra Gita Verse 18:28

18.28
“Beyond stillness,
beyond distraction,
the great soul thinks nothing
of liberation or bondage
Having seen the universe is void-- 
even though it seems to exist--
he is God”


Image and imagelessness 
The vibrant void of Oneness
Renewal of the Ohm reverberation 
Manifestation and non-manifestation 

Been there done that
Not in fiction but in fact 
If illumined we must feel it in our bones
Else not real and therefore a clone

We rest our case
There being no disgrace
We in innocence 
Do admit our ignorance

Verse revisited on 28-January-2022

How still is our stillness 
Even in the void of oneness 
If there be trace of separateness 

Perceiving without presupposing
Knowing but without judging
Discerning by intuiting

Tranquil and content
In both ascent and descent
Vibrant in the divine bliss current

Graced to behold God face to face
Pure heart imbibing His grace
No puzzles left to lace

God alone is, all that is
Source of aliveness, pure bliss
One consciousness both that and this 

Divine dance of separation and union
Witnessed from void of cessation
As an unending celebration
