Lines more lunatic than the sun – 1
.
making my friendship with the water-pigeon does not mean 
that i’ve acknowledged all devotion of the land-lotuses to river
without putting any note of dissent

As is said, we are He, who we seek
Today, let’s find out together
Love beckons, we try to take a sneak peek
But fears and desires tether
Veiled remains The Divine Mother

Knowing not the way, we stop flow...

I took my mum to slimming world 
On every Tuesday night 
She’d get her finest glad rags on
And beam with sheer delight

Not much of an adventure,
On the way she’d barely speak.
But she’d set her sights...

I told my boss this was a job I didn’t relish
Reports so far deemed this Elfin war rather hellish.
Troops had crossed the border and entered the valley.
So far we didn’t have a death or injury...

Marquees are bright with neon lights, where crowds line up for movie night
Holding hands, we're in 'The Strand'. The velvet carpet guides us in

Life is a combination of different strata and classes
with the upper classes feeding on the states of the lower

Faith is a cat, treading softly,
with delicacy, with hesitation,
unlike the dog-like dogma
(so aptly named) which seeks
to hold fast a believer in its
proud, fierce and steel-like jaws.

Yes, faith is beyond reason--
how could it not be when...

Thousands living in fear
For they knew Hitler was growing near
In Poland her career would soon to be
As she helped scared persecuted to flee

Gas chambers were yet to come
For not all heeded the warnings of this...

WHAT IF TIFFE MARRIED ZIFF AND WHAT IF?...


GOOD EVEnING!
Now what if?
Tiffe married Ziff
And McGriff divorced Woodcliff
And what if
I sniff and smell it someone cheating
Someone's being an adulteress
The dead body was frozen
Melted flesh was soft
But the...

Send a tear to your lapel
for the debt you owe Marie
and others of her ilk,
it's just as well still 
not nearly as good 
as opening our eyes

Marie & Remi Ochlik
were shelled out of existence
while reporting...

The Friend's Tale 

His groin was mutilated - did you know? 
Please, try these pastries. Do. I love them so! 
And how is London? It's my favorite city. 
Are all the English journalists so pretty?...

“There is per say, no original thought
That that is, is as resonation brought”

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

There is this and there is that
Spiralling thoughts in time fall flat
Mind body an earth interface limited
Anchored therein; seems we are sedated

Each thought...

At the start of the next war,
While the headlines scream "war, war, war",
Go fit a lens to your gun's barrel
And a reel of film in its magazine.
It would be a better war—don't you agree?—
If all...

viewing an object of desire
immersion in materiality
losing ourself therein
slave to the senses
lustful passions rising
our thirst keeps deepening
correspondent to indulgence
poised yet as an animated thought
heart awaiting actual fulfilment 
wherefrom we gradually shift
our attention into the void
smiling...

On caparisoned, filleted camels do they 
Over the great, soft, tawny sands 
Ride;
Unfurled flags and tribal standards flown amidst them, 
In the very midst of them-
Of they, who astride great tan camels,
Seem rather scandent and...

From my wheel chair facing their veranda
I could not distinguish the girl next door.
She looked somewhat like my niece, Miranda,
except for her hair halfway to the floor. 
(Miranda always kept her hair shorter.)

I turned the...

(Reviewed by a snooty correspondent)

November dons her coats of warm terries,
tans, a few ochres, but surely not bright.
(Except for sneaky, red-coated berries,
peeking from bushes, agrin with delight.)

November's dress: pretty dull, never shines.
We prefer October's boisterous...

rings of magnetic electricity
correspondent to each energy zone
affirm their bliss pulsations visibly
within form power, though not ours to own
an open secret, known to us alone

By my enabled senses five, attention externalised, I beheld the magical world of myriad objects, reflecting their luminous auras. As I exhaled, the world disappeared and through my open fontanel correspondent to the crown chakra,...

Dynamic interplay
Worlds within worlds
Manifest geometric fluidity
Within designated boundaries
Correspondent to vibrations
At play in the spectrum 
Activated by magnetism 
Wherein the polarities orbit
The fulcrum of creation
Brought forth by will
Propelled by desire
To distil love’s essence
Allowing ripples in motion...

Lower mind correspondent to our thought
Higher aspect aligned to universe
Once we discard cravings ego begot
We begin to sing the divine love verse

In other words the shift from head to heart
Whereupon we gently stoop to conquer
Is...
