Long Overspills Poems

Dreams and nightmares come and go
I've found something you ought to know
These night terrors can cause distress
Reading below could rid this mess

If you wake due to thrashing around
Tiredness and lethargy will be found
You can control...

I have watched tree-giants 
in deep forest-cathedrals
declare glory, speak of heaven
in sanctuaries where birds rejoice 
between branches 
under leafy-windows  
– green and gold. 
I have seen where roots 
pierce stone. 

Then, glazed December
cracked. Empty...

Free will whose
An egoic ruse
Please excuse
Offered clues

The mind body enigma
An outer form we call jiva
Inner layer soul or Atma 
All within God or Paramatma

This preamble in place
The line of inquiry we face
From our core at...

Senses five externalised 
Analytical mind, objects sized
Yet power of reason, now our prison
Life whizzes by, too late at death we wisen
Recognising that we are not mind-body
We are divine, on earth for study
Learning love alone as...

Are you frying today? No? Not at all? An attempt to pull the frying pan out would be better off left alone as other plates could fall. Oh dear. The frying is best done outside...

Left over overspills are a typewritten error and a grammatical code of which there is no collision of nouns, verbs or adjectives. Descent described design deriving dug dirt. And a soil no shine. A voided...

Every time the white grave cloths of winter disappears
And seeds in their ressurection rise
To wipe the faith of spring clean from winter's tears
Hope shines a new sun in my eyes.

Every the time the moon grows...

What wonderful warmth
Weaves through my bones 
Some mystic music
With healing tones

A summer waft 
A sunshine snuggle
A hug so deep
Erasing trouble

If only I could  bottle this 
To keep it fresh 
This cleansing balm
This wonderous mesh..

Connecting...

Lament not, oh illustrious lama
Simply be still, surrender to Gods will
Distracted not by ego brouhaha

Divine aligned, heart cleansed of erst stigma 
Bliss suffused form, with nectar overspills
Lament not, oh illustrious lama

Soul eternal, fleeting our amnesia

Life going by for most
In vacuity like a ghost 
Unable to vitalise
The divine within to rise
The oft felt inner stirring
Needing tender attending
Yet our wilful neglect
Inability to stand erect
In mind-heart alignment 
Blocks bliss contentment 
Whilst by...

Why a blue sky?,
 why a green field?
 Why a white cloud?,
 or the need to feel?

 yet no blood stain.

 Why a crimson sky at

All paths do seem valid, in their own right
What matters is that we get to the roots
As we embark upon our wingless flight
Moment to moment, as life pulse reboots

Each path requires, that we release our...

Luminous bright white light, yet soft mellow
Fills up our room in the dead of the night
Receding owing to our thoughts shallow
We slide back into a trance of delight

As of past misdeeds, karmic forms appear
Tranquil eye...

Mountainous peaks so high
above the clouds. A rugged 
ladder of ice rock and snow,
seemingly out stretched 
towards heavens gates.

A fearful endeavour to cross
a narrow mountain ledge.
Tread carefully a slip could
mean a free fall to your...
