Cold May breeze
Evening descends;
Furious drenching

~~~~~~~~~


Memories stray
Haunting whispers;
Familiar vices

~~~~~~~~~


Moon glow aura
Evening illumination;
New dreams unfurl

~~~~~~~~~


Morning rainbow
Light streams call;
Gather new treasures

~~~~~~~~~


Temple bells
Prayer alludes;
Stillness meditation

~~~~~~~~~


Late homecoming
Workday overtime;
Supper time dinner

~~~~~~~~~


Chocolate ganache cake
Three Michelin stars;
A perfect treat

~~~~~~~~~


Ageing documents
Crumbling sepia pieces;
New lease of life

~~~~~~~~~


Weary bones squeak
Knees aching;
Active brisk walking

~~~~~~~~~


Good guy, bad guy
Conflicts permutate;
Zero-sum game

~~~~~~~~~


Downtown scoop
Change fixates;
Addictive shopping

~~~~~~~~~


Old friends meet
Near and yet so far;
Time exfoliates

~~~~~~~~~

Premium Member Take a sneak peek

Flickers in the void reveal,
what space attempts to conceal,
that we’re encased in its womb,
entrapped in a catacomb.

All realms dual are thought forms,
for soul to learn through fierce storms
and then return to God’s light,
that shimmers through space, so bright.

To see this truth with our eyes,
is known when our ego dies,
for since we’re not body-mind,
we see when we’re love aligned.

Love arises on its own,
when lower mind we dethrone,
that as pheromones mingle,
eye of soul becomes single.

Bliss fixates our attention,
to behold God’s dimension,
in, within and all around,
which divine light does surround.

We can see, if we release,
habit to think, a disease
and allow silence to speak,
to get of God, a sneak peek.

Wild Goose Chase

Pursuit for elusive prey
teases yours truly
into treacherous catacombs
dangerous mentally
challenging pitfalls,

sets small hairs of back
on camp creeks edge
of night, where dark shadows
evoke outer limits
of twilight zone

prompting me constantly questioning
purposefulness, qua hair raising pursuit
embarking these modern roman times
all for naught,
nonetheless I chide self

failing to heed
emotional, mental, psychological...fallout
in sum re: springing Jack in the box reflex
to sally forth and earn kudos,
asper potential Prince Valiant.

Thus situated with blank computer screen
capacious external Lenovo for myopia
(and incessant squiggly floaters to boat),
this literary glutton for punishment
feverishly fixates to plumb depths

measuring morin 10,000
leagues under the see
ming lee impossible mission
to ensnare nearly extinct
fluttering, lyfting, shutterflying...

smarts to outwit unsuspecting
beak henning quest
tendering, tasting uber victory
quivering crossbow
targeting yawping 

zoological discovery - channeling
primed with taut fletched arrow
on high alert for stool pigeon
cautiously optimistic kickstarting
another futile attempt dagnabbit
experiencing prestige,

oh...and by the way...,
no animal harmed
regarding made for video poem
gamely capturing quarry scotched,
nor gruesome scene

synonymous quasi abattoir
representative bird den sum
bloodless coup deeming
endeavor par excellence.

Fingers madly scramble
to poach skittering idea
fry day most ideal
omelette ya know,
aye feel yolked to defeatism,

one after another faux
promising brainstorm egging
quickly flitting inaccessible
potential flash in frying pan
just as fast dashing

into bajillion pieces
shell shocked scrivener
scribbling lame as duck
goose laying golden egg...
dropping immediately out of sight,

maybe best resigning forlorn
inchoate never albumen,
albeit quite linguistic stretch for
(all be human success story)
prospects beyond reach

ova this wretch
New York Times
bestseller author jinxed
forever dooming yours truly
grinding poverty my ill fate.

Premium Member Believe it or not

Imagine a fine conduit looping form,
over front and back, splitting us in two,
within which bliss currents, both cool and warm,
in time stretched silence, pulsations renew.

This show of delight, by day and by night,
fixates our fickle attention within,
God’s grace gifting us the boon of clear sight,
even as bliss beats prance on our skin.

Poised at heaven’s gate, in stillness sedate,
essence of presence inhales love’s incense,
reshaping fate, as nodes within gyrate,
effusing joyously our effulgence.

Truth eternal is stranger than fiction,
of rapture borne by benign bliss friction.

Angelus Novus

My eyes
Inseparably focused 
On the plain, colorless canvas
And yet
Still ideating
A bright, elucidating palette,

The golden curls
Falling over the strong, pensive face
Shown glancing 
At something unseen,

“Oh,” I wonder,
“What might it be that fixates you so?”
Do you heed caution?
Perhaps an undisclosed epiphany?
Or is it fear
Which makes your broad jaw drop?

The great, big arms
Spread wide open
Like a pair of ivory wings
To either assist
In advancing
Or eluding,

Have you shared this secret
With another?
Else, it is your intention
To keep silent
And allow time
To take its turbulent course.

Premium Member Undone

Mistakenly believing we’re body-mind,
bewildered by fear and enslaved by desire,
we fail to see head and heart are not aligned
with love, so the objects we seek to acquire,
fixates attention, gripping us in a bind,
consigning our soul to the funeral pyre.
Adding to our woes is conditioned belief,
which unless undone, will give us no relief.

In the void of cessation, we’re always free
but presence soon returns to habit routine,
caged in turbid tempests, tied to our mind tree,
borne of heart’s dark desires, not easy to wean,
unless with soft whispers of love we agree,
for it’s then that the truth unseen may be seen.
Making thus in staid stillness, love our soul’s scribe,
we imbibe divine bliss, mind cannot describe.

Premium Member Ardhnarishwara

As we look on, doing nothing at all,
witnessing the play of spirit in form,
we sense soul presence within, standing tall,
in midst of swirling currents, cool and warm.
Magical cool heat that has heart upbeat,
a boon of moon and sun, propelled by fire,
engulfs our mind-body from head to feet,
infusing bliss for which sages aspire.
Over front and back, an energy loop,
becomes a conduit for soma nectar,
paving way for magnetism to regroup,
that it may then pierce each body vector.
Ushering bliss as a teasing tingle, 
male and female polarities mingle.

Male and female polarities mingle,
integrating thus as a seamless whole
and as bliss spasms within us so jingle,
we get to a state which scriptures extol.
Ardhnarishwara is fact, not fiction,
which when manifests, erases all doubt,
signalling lower mind’s crucifixion,
allowing living light in heart to sprout.
Heart is the centre, where we must enter,
if we seek to embody the Christ flame,
enabled by letting bliss beats canter
unrestricted, as we enjoy the game.
Grateful for boons, God to us does so bring,
oh worthy hermit, to what should we cling?

Oh worthy hermit, to what should we cling,
in this world of transience, where we will die,
so moment to moment, we simply sing,
the song divine that our soul may fly high.
To this end, renouncing desires we bend,
connecting with God’s vital breath in us,
that holding His hand in trust, we ascend,
to a realm where fears no longer nonplus.
By night and day, rapture that’s here to stay,
fixates attention on the love locus
and all we do is let God have His way,
while we prayerfully maintain focus.
Sconce of love holds us firm, in this bliss squall,
as we look on, doing nothing at all.

Purple City

In the palate of a rainbow purple is my muse , such depth, such splendour it entrances the eye it fixates only on it 

This is the colour of great many things, it may be the lavender of lilacs, or the boldness of a ripe juicy plum , may be that designer plush velvety chair which up on you sit 

Purple is represented by royalty on the crown it is displayed with regal attention one must pay 

It can be found as amethyst so stellar in its purity , attractive to the bitterness of skeptics, set in the finest of jewelry there it lay 

A colour like no other , it’s quite awe is displayed in the cherished summers dusk , that brings solace to the waiting mind

It pretties up the scenery of the naked forest and speckles it in kind 

Sensory bliss , euphoric, a constant for a master piece work of art , unique with a pleasure so appealing for all to witness that the heart can see 

A Purple Heart for valour, the pleasing touch of velour , the only colour of a vintage El Camino as on drives off into the sunset , purple it the muse for me

A Lady Waits

A Lady Waits

The sleepy sea massages a creaking ship which slowly navigates
through blackness the sky emanates and the great Atlantic integrates.
A sailing school of serenading seagulls dips and dives and celebrates,
and amongst the sea-sick shipmates, a welcome murmur swiftly circulates.
A wave of steerage class splashes onto the seaweed-soaked stern and congregates,
viewing a line of lights which levitates on the horizon it incubates.
As fingers point to a distant shore, the name “America!” reverberates.
The salty air invigorates, and the chorus of commotion escalates.
A cry pulls the tide of faces to the rear row of citizen candidates.
Her wind-whipped shawl barely insulates the ravenous newborn she placates.
As if Moses were parting the sea, the silent congregation separates.
Gleaming with gratitude, she glides to the front rail the moon illuminates.
As her baby’s throat pulsates with mother’s milk, through lash-locked lids he fixates
on the Emerald Empress whose torch radiates on the dreams she consummates.
Beholding the beacon who beckons brave believers, his mother boldly states,
“When this restless night abates, the misty morn of a daring dawn elates,
but tonight, sleep well my child … for across the harbor, the lady waits … ”
