Premium Member Do We Cherish

Do we cherish our aliveness innate
Gods gift of life, each heartbeat that elates
Celebrating breath from start to finish
As conscience, right from wrong does distinguish
Pure childlike heart, shedding off ego weight

Love and light beckons, why then do we wait 
Succumb not to fears and desires that bait
Vibrant bliss within, our revered parish 
Do we cherish 

Feel life, immediate and intimate
As to the music divine, we gyrate
Boundless bliss in permanence, as we wish
Vivifies our form, in an instant swish
Even as we playfully meditate 
Do we cherish

We Resumed At the Assumed

And here it comes:
A new born baby:
Born by education:
A senior of term:
A new semester!.

1) Faces whipped with loneliness
elates themselves.
Eyes laced with Joy,
Teeth embroided with happiness:
With smile inscribed therein.

1)Teeths greeting teeths,
Smiles taking picnic in contentment:
Faces starved of glowing smiles.

2) 'You shouldn't go today'
Her mother had said:
'The first day of resumption
holds unstable words and indecision.
Hence to the market 'day,
at morrow your soles shall kissed your class'.
But why wont she?

"A groom waited on his bride till wedding night. And  you say he shouldn't greet her?"

2) We'll get what our souls advocates...

"Ma'm i'll go.... At 'morrow i'll stay!" she said.

Premium Member Just Stating the Obvious Poetry Contest

enabled now for co-creation
our free will chooses
either blissful joy or agitation

within vibrant void of stillness 
ego thoughts rested
that that is is bliss in fullness

clues abound we see them not
as each breath renews
fickle attention in fears fraught

we shine bright as love and light
bewildered by shadows
delusion veiling wrong from right

looking in within what do we see
attachments fleeting
stagnation therein cause of ennui

identity dissolves in joy continuum 
desire births anxiety
soul free devoid of ego residuum

life a flow not a fixed coordinate
yet we fuel passion
oblivious to bliss pulse that elates

be to become at ease as the breeze
unfettered unbound 
celebrating in embrace and release

Ride It Out

      Potter in the sky promptly sculpts
      Scrapes grey clay into piles pulsating
      Driven t'ward dread, born for storm chasing 
      Seatbelts her, seized by brightest volts


      Picked up by gusts, thunder grumble thrust
      On ferris wheel rise, rocked spectator
      Eyes agape, a brooding threat elates her
      Tagged by lightning's tip, torn wide by lust 

       
      Truncheons swung from sweaty clouds, rain clubs
      At the apex, a lurid bulb sideshow
      Her fibres dilated, dauntless, haunted, aglow
      Tormented, her descent releases cherubs


      Twins, freshly festooned in her nursing
      Sugar floss urchins, spun from ferris wheel frisson 
      Crushed by awe, she cries in downpour's christen
      Halo wrapped clouds make a cradle immersing


      Heaven's heartbeat heaves grievances
      Disgusted dagger, a jagged floodlight bolt
      Bred from bravery, her tributes to tumult
      Conjure clemence, seek sweet sequences

Premium Member Vision

Vision, a window divine, open wide to aspirations of heart,
A lens paramount, for perusing aesthetics of beauty and art;
A sight beaming imagination, on ambitions of curious soul,
A focus coherent, shaping impulses, passions studious cajole.

A medium of communication, an engaging lure of romance,
An infatuated response, a jubilant hint of enamored glance,
Blossoming in language of love, without utterance of word,
Extolling meaning amorous, that desires romantic spurred.

Perceptive of worldview, on mission to observe and learn,
A journey into the unknown, yearning curiously to discern,
Vision quests for knowledge, aiming to be literate, well read,
Vision peers into future, navigating life’s road maps ahead.

It thrills watching a baby smile, elates in celebration of life,
Saddens when mind summons anguish of grief and strife;
Dejecting violent places, thoughts kindred deeply deplore,
Preferring banks of avid shores, dreams endearing implore.

Vision captures images of life, ruminating in joys and sighs,
Rejoicing in blissful memories, or tearing-up its forlorn eyes;
Reveling in exuberant prairies, vying for flowering springs,
Or shuddering amid barren trees, bearing angst winter brings.

Premium Member Awaking From the Dream

How may we awake
being the object dreamed by the dreamer
tied to the ego stake
how may we align to be one with the creator

The clues do abound
in the pulsation of each heartbeat & breath
in stupor we are bound
serpentine ego retaining doership in stealth

Choosing to vaporise
melting into the vibrant void in total surrender 
with no ego left to size
we then be to become essence of the wonder 

It is our reflex instinct
resonating with love allowing no lower vibration 
in hues of bliss inked
unbroken awareness continuum our meditation 

This samadhi state
wherein jiva & Atma & Paramatma become one
as bliss within elates
no difference remains between He & we his son

Premium Member Unseeking Seeker

Unseeking Seeker, forum handle mine
Never mind now, how God did so assign
Suffice to mention, I go by this sign 
Even though offbeat, the name resonates
Epitomising verses I create
Keeping me in sync, with joy that elates
Inked across all websites, what’s in a name
Nonetheless, quite a few, do play this game
Ghost invisible being claim to fame 
~
Seeking egoic, my viewpoint contrary 
Eccentric perhaps, life sedentary 
Embrace-hold-release in serenity
Kith and kin are privy to my secret 
Electing not to, my quirks deeply ferret
Resonation with love, holds me erect

All Else In Between

Here I found a cruel necessity for a new, chilling ambience
There was even a need for the drifting fogs of dreary past 
A need for the blurred emptiness that sadness elates
An unimpeded appetite for a long lost banister of emotional distain

Negative pores glimmered petulantly on polluted shores 
Drawn to an irrefutable cloud of looming gloom
Swollen was the tide of crestfallen reveries—ashen treasuries

There in that dark, empty room of ill refute 
I felt the word ‘alone’ in a new shade of gray
I felt sincerely barren—I hesitate to say
Yes, I welcomed the weak ray of diminishing hope
I disposed of lurid happiness to gamble with tragedy
I both lost and gained
I was both enlightened and degraded
And all else in between

Images sustained their displays on my burning canvas
Lighting up merely to blacken and destroy
Weeping for the sake of weeping alone
I grasped onto the disturbing unknown  
And spat upon my inane, dull, idealistic parables
Never meant for meaning or demeaning
Only remained then was a desperately distilled and angry fright
It was this fright alone that pushed me more to account
That pushed me to curse my every being 
For daring to weep for the sake of weeping
Was a personal sin at best blessed  

There in that slowly illuminating room
That slowly blackening burning room
I both lost and gained
I was both dead innocent and garishly guilty
And all else in between

Premium Member cycle of seasons

vernal equinox
pollen proliferation
spring rebirth affirmed

busy bees buzzing
beautiful birds building nests
winter gloom erased

dormant seeds take root
blossoms bloom birdsong elates
spring nearing its end

summer solstice comes
verdant landscape sandy beach
families frolic

short summer showers
heat and humidity reign
sunlight lingers on

temperatures lag
cheerful chirping of crickets
last gasp of summer

autumn equinox
turning leaves migrating birds
early morning chill

leaf-peeping pastime 
harvest cornucopia 
real time falls behind

fall’s first killing frost
season of melancholy
cold of winter near

winter solstice comes
bare trees long hibernation
don’t risk bleeding lips 

gardens lie fallow
field mice attempting entry
long dark frigid nights

snowfall slowly melts
winter giving way to spring
first mosquito bite
