Long Heavenwards Poems

A little fairy princess one day sits resting on a most beautiful sunflower,
And magically she begins stretching her wings for anticipatory flight
While capturing a vision assortment of most bright flying colors, 
Of one gentle and...

Allamanda in April slowly open its trumpets around posts that look like 
Buttercups of honey for bees to dive in to replenish their striped bellies
Crocus's yellow stigmas that flavour our food are a blessing by...

Having a quiet night at home
sitting contemplating life as it is
not a lot happening so I thought
a knock I thought or mayne a miss

So I went to see who it was
there was a lightness at...

Look and review.  Look and review.
The New Year is coming.  Review’s what we do.
What have I believed in? What lies have been told?
What truth has ascendance? For truth is my gold.

Forgiving is the true nature and value 
of the child lost learning ways 
in which direction expelling darkness 

From internal love finding a sinner within 
unveiling oneself offering the pain of the suffering

A couple of ruins leave the cathedrals
nave and portico;
it is always molting season,
mice and beetles help
they nibble and gnaw,
wind-laborer’s, labor,
their whiplash backs bent,
to lever slates and all things loosened.

The sanctified, they guard their stony hearts
but...

Not bleary-eyed, for the Lord said to trust,
He always means what ever he says.
So I reach up my hands heavenwards,
And he reaches down with his right hand of
 righteousness.

He always means what he says,
I will...

Profile picture painted to please Jennifer Lopez
Smiles for miles to the dynamite of Taio Cruz
Sights, heights and flights into serene skies
Bereft of dour dues, hostile hues, cantankerous queues and bludgeon blues.

Laughter in a merry matter...

EMPTINESS FILLS MY HOURS 

Sunshine brings a sadness into my rarefied air.
Your presence, missing, brings to my world, despair.
Sunshine brings a bleak, darkness to my life.
Without you !, my hours are filled with strife.
Sunshine is...

I cast my gaze heavenwards
To a place where the love angels dwell
I can't see you, but hear my words  
And my heart desires as well

She placed her heart on a platter
Not for me to...

It laughs with the coming of spring, 
on riverbanks wild grasses cling, 
flowers waft a scent through faint mist, 
on gentle winds leaves sway and twist

It drifts and floats with its current, 
pursuing visions not...

Hands on our neighbours’ shoulders,
we encircle the decorated pine,
my chanting father at the centre.
Faces painted, dressed in white, hair adorned, 
we march, chant and wail,
throwing dust over our heads.
Then stand, hands clasped overhead, eyes heavenwards.

Holding...

Eyes..eyes, I always see your lambent eyes.
Staring at me, ever scintillating,
As the glimmering, summer sands of time.


Dreaming of drifting heavenwards with you.
Like two sparkling candles rising heavenward,
Melting...

And shall this piece of twisted wire
bring me all I could desire,
and will this ugly-looking button,
that tears my flesh to shredded mutton,
grant me up there a first-row seat
where heavenly angels come to meet?
Can Heaven in...

Its the tired eyes,
that wearily rise,
looking heavenwards,
leaving the heathen and innards,
the yonder look catches wool,
and blue of the wool,
its crashing plain where wool is not in spool,
plain is slate,yellow,orange and red,
enveloping this all is gold,

We sit in the boat watching the lake meet the moon with such grace, as if the two of them were so enchanted by this eternal dance that they barely notice the mountains. The deep...

At each breath’s eventide,
within void of stillness,
with divine laws abide,
entwined with That oneness,
heavenwards we thus glide.

At each breath’s eventide,
sans thought interference,
bliss throbs rising inside,
make felt their appearance,
blushing like a new bride.

At each breath’s eventide,
awareness self-aware,

Grey box
Grey box stacked sideways and
Heavenwards
With spanning wings and no sky
No faint trace 
Or morning ember.
The sky turned over
And rolling and folding.

The denizens 
The citizens
The comrades linked like mail.
Deep red and black and eyes.

Manufacture a...

Highborn, regal Skiddaw
Such grace in one so high,
A countenance of majesty,
A fortress to my eye.

Looking down on all around you
Immense in all your might,
From your foot, we lift our eyes
To wonder at the sight.

Rising like...

Do you ever look into the  field of azure
to a plane just a dot in the sky

and imagine yourself in the cockpit
As it freely ambles by

Looking down on this patchwork of earth below
Unfettered as...

Assign not ownership
to cravings of ego
rooted in dark desire,
being but illusions,
in this world, they aspire.

Assign not ownership
to imagined knowing,
that seeks but an applause,
deepening delusion,
ignorant of God’s laws.

Assign not ownership
of our enablements,
which are by God bestowed,
instead...
