Light That Lights All Lights


We look for that light eternal that does not come and go 
the screen upon which life plays cognized in staid stillness slow

Steady as a star at night that draws me to its bright  
nuclear fusion, atom smash, suddenly there is light 
Dependable as anchors when summer boats lay still 
staid as somber water when the winds are finally nil 

Here she comes that light that lights all lights 
she is a moon lamp and her mimicry is out of sight 
Resembling the moon she shines on and on 
sending waves of luminescence from here to Milan 

Life is montage on the shelf of my mind 
I breathe the breath and am no longer blind 
Lost in the radiance of a soul on fire 
I approach my dreams with fervent desire 

And as long as I look for that eternal light, I am okay,   
beneath the kind observant eye of my moon lamp ray..

The Four Elements: a Supernatural Force, a Human Resource

Mantle--a fluid shelf that cradles all existence;
Soil--a table that nurtures all subsistence
Flora--a cultivated canvas that neutralizes resistance;
Fauna--a habituated benefactor of indulgence.

Wind--a mysterious force of ambivalence,
Dispersing seed and spore with diligence.
Fondling cloak that cools with benevolence;
Powerful menace that uproots with violence.

Fire, generative force imbuing hearth with resilience;
A temporal light that provides luminescence.
Warming incubator, glowing candescence,
Brooding killer scorching with indifference.

Water--a random discharge of providence.
A vast reservoir of expedience.
An enervating stream that fuels with prescience;
An extractor that disperses with each recurrence.

Immutable elements with primordial affluence;
Material objects manipulated for human ascendence.
Form:

Basement

Trapped : cut off, shut in, confined. 
Like a prolonged dream,
Running, not reaching anywhere, 
Hiding, getting caught.

Dark : dusky, pitch black, unilluminated.
A glint of light, 
Flickering near, 
To rush or to halt
To stay or run away

Light : irradient, incandescence, luminescence 
White wisps of 
cob webs lying
Before, “quite down, 
Go to sleep”.

Claustrophobia : Restlessness, temporary insanity, anxiety. 
Will this be the 
Death of me? 
Alas,  it's claustrophobic 
In the coffin too. 

Truth : verity,  candor, honesty.
Empty, Venturing 
through this, I 
found solace. The
Light getting closer. 

Aloof : withdrawn, detached, indifferent.
Releasing the dread,
Resting in the crypt
Below the place I 
Called home. 

Death : end,  passing,  ruin. 
Conclusively comprehending,
the light
Shall 
Never reach me.

Premium Member Ashtavakra Gita verse 19:3 revisited

19.3
“Where is past and future,
or even present?
Where is space, or even eternity? 
I abide in the glory of Self”


Brahman or God, The Absolute
Luminous darkness, alone is
Motionless beyond space and time
Universe birthed by His bliss fizz

All worlds are then but mere bubbles
Reflecting God’s luminescence 
Illusionary is ego
Light of Self is our quintessence

God is the light who lights all lights
Consciousness ~ one energy field
Each God-spark mirrors His heartbeat
Merging with source when fully healed

Holding firm awareness of Self
Thus immanent and transcendent 
In but not of this dream like world 
We are always bliss resplendent

Premium Member The Strawberry Moon

The Strawberry Moon

This moon rises up ever slowly among the clouds,
As it begins its ritual journey of peeking slyly out,
Appearing for all to see in that far-distant horizon.

This wondrous eidetic image is a Strawberry Moon
That’s so softly-red with a magical touch of orange,
And so very rare to see—yet so special to gaze upon.

As this enchanted moon continues its skyward ascent,
It begins to kiss the Earth goodbye whilst following its
Heavenly path in the sky to be amongst the radiant stars.

This glorious moon now follows its celestial path into 
The Dark Beyond as its strawberry tint passes away,
And its ancient, brilliant-bright-luminescence returns.

Oh, Strawberry Moon—our pride of the month of June,
Shall you tell us more when you come back to us, of what
We shall see in The Dark Beyond, in the Sky of Nowhere?

And perhaps we can expect in your next journey to us,
Another special kiss by you—a welcome kiss telling us
That a reunion awaits us all on the eternal path of light!

One White Rose Reverie

I wander deep into argent airs,
Ascending anthems birthed in alabaster,
Into the incandescent magic 
Of one white rose
Clothed in creamy flesh
Christened with dewdrops like moonstones
Swirling with ivory measures of bewitched fire.

Spellbound I sink bewitched  
Into an ark of opalescent oratorios
Drawn into a pale chrysalis
Colored by the colors of first-born grace
In hues of stardust
And the litter of moonbeams
The cool touch of a snowy white kiss.

Ecstasy drips in reveries from ivory petals  
Where I take my first breath
In the melodic meter
Of her delicate rhythms and rhythmic rhymes
Her perfume enchanting my crystal cradle
Rocking on webs woven
In lilting lyrics of luminescence.

I revel in the summer’s birthstone
That glows like moon drops
In her siren’s silver call to serenity’s stanzas
Sung in ephemeral moonlight,
Caught like a jeweled enigma,
The rose reflects light and shadows
In my summer’s sweetest slumbers.

Gathered into a bouquet of one
She wears a stainless face of grace,
And leaves a snow-white kiss 
In my midnight rhapsodies and raptures
Melodic maiden sprinkles crystal rose dust
In concerts of preludes – prophecies waiting to bloom –
And her chaste carols sung upon her strong stem.

Premium Member Nothing Can Dim the Light Which Shines From Within

No matter what the world may bring
No matter how the winds may sting
There is a light that burns within
A flame that never will rescind

It shines so bright, it fills the air
A beacon to guide those in despair
It sparkles like a diamond in the night
A luminescence, oh so bright

It cannot be dimmed by fear or pain
It cannot be snuffed by doubts or shame
For it's a part of who we are
A radiant beauty, like a star

It's there for us when we're afraid
To light a path when we've lost our way
It's always present, always true
A reminder that we are too

So don't let the darkness cloud your view
Don't let the storms persuade you
For nothing can dim the light that's inside
It will always, always, always abide.

Premium Member Bliss Throb Rising

Bliss throb rising, our form enveloping
Unbound is joy, in dance of innocence 
Delighting benign currents cascading
Mindful cognisance of subtle nuance

Inner balance, invokes divine cadence
Nodes within aligning, love caressing 
Grace essence felt by inner sentience 
Bliss throb rising, our form enveloping

Heart inviting, magnetism delighting
Egos penance, this carefree dalliance
All embracing, smiling child so playing 
Unbound is joy, in dance of innocence 

Heavenly fragrance, fortifies patience
Accepting our life force slowly ebbing
Erect stance reveals its luminescence 
Delighting benign currents cascading

No doing needed, on earth journeying
Save stillness and silence continuance
Fickle fears ceasing, fearlessly flowing
Mindful cognisance of subtle nuance

Divine effervescence, our quintessence
We are here for loving, giving, growing
Lower mind urges, keep at a distance
Trusting Gods touch, allowing enabling
Bliss throb rising

Premium Member Moon Flowers

Luminescence in pond
reflecting couple in love
romancing in moonlight
exhilarated by mist
from chocolate fragrant 
berlandiera daisies
caressing hearts.
Moon winks
walking away vagrant
cradling sun to sleep
in vain
its lidless fiery eye 
radiating heat and light 
to rotating earth
nearing its light 
to plug into 
its energy
to feed life
then move
from its embrace  
to cool down.
In beauty and silence
the sun
nourishes without 
being nourished
self sufficient
like dare I say God
growing life in beauty
of serenity
interlacing elegance
of flowers and leaves
liquifying waters
of snowflakes and ice
splendor 
of each season 
returning
until eyelids close
to its light
and open to a Light
without night. 
Look a new day has begun
sun rising from satiny 
rose bed
sweeps with its rays
of white light 
darkness out of the sky 
awaking birds on wires
with songs and chatter
opening sleepy flowers 
to bees and butterflies
sparkling water diamonds 
to mist and vanish 
like soul immortal
returning in cycle.

I am your inked inamorata,
enamored and heaven-drunk,
sipping courtly creed
from the chrysalis chalice
of what love could unleash ~
as the heart heeds what’s unsaid
when stellar heat waves
thunder in sync with lightning,
still musing with 
the monotony of muted music…

It was never the radiant rhythm
of romanticized rhymes
that pulled me,
but the arcane gaze
of your trip-uh-licious alchemy,
the ice-flame blues of
a draconian dreamer,
still intriguing this
intuitive incandescence
like a dangerous desperado
sailing me to an ocean of devotion.

O primal paramour,
purify this pained pulse,
heal the hurting nocturnal Helios
amidst your eyes that roam,
reaching for the rhinestone flickers,
blind to this burn.
While your hallowed hands
unknot the sky, wedded
to the thrilling threads
of my mourning moon,
calm your vagabond psyche
and listen to the evocative voice
of my unwavering verses ~
veiled in vermilion,
within the purged pages
enveloped in sand-soaked silk.

There you will hear
           the black-cat moan
footprints of faithful fervency,
the lifelines of loyal luminescence,
clawed to compassion
generously giving,
serving the aromatic air 
that carries your mystical musk ~

So let the ghost awake,
        let the forgotten rise again.
Watch the wickedness unweave
the faults of an untamable warrior.

Are you satisfied being
vehemently investigated 
by an emotionally intense telescope,
holding you viciously 
to the lethal lens of feral ferocity? 
Here comes the grace-giver.
I am born to dominantly bestow…
