Long Permanency Poems

When we set out on a road trip
We didn’t stick to the old script
And were gladly amazed
And rarely unfazed
Hitting strange towns though some were skipped

We started from Thatsnot, OK
Which was more or less ok
But then...

I came to AllSouls
looking for permanent sanctuary.

Sanctuary,
not only from a Rumpian absence of 
civility
and non-violent trust
and integrity
and compassion,
but also pro-actively for an orthodox health eco-school 
for learning to secure these passioned gifts
through cooperative
pro-active
co-arising practice.

A permanently...

Metamorphosis: a word for butterflies,
Said the science textbook in school,
Positive transformations connoted her young soul.
Age brought in a new realisation,
Life, a one-way road with two destinies,
The darker one a metamorphosis too.

The endlessly bleak days,
Dwindling success,
Slipping...

Not all of my family and friends that grew up there would AGREE. They remember all the pleasantries and being happy and FREE. This tale regards  
the place where I was born and once...

Family and friends may not agree
Perhaps they recall being happy and free
There's much to be said where I use to roam
These are my personal feelings and mine alone
My birth place was tolerable but never home...

Muscularity slowly flexing with a calling permanency, 
Permission without clicking that the doorstop’s gone, 
Inherent hardiness springs you into moderation,
And the Castle’s protective rock scatters criminalisation bon. 

Lighter shade of grey without looking aside, 
Whilst...

Coloured thoughts
So many bad reports
Fighting my race
The group that forgot about the wonders of grace!
I trace their mistake in the face of jealousy
Hoping to help the new teachers entering the system and
Letting them know the...

Speak gently of me in the twilight hour of grace
With kind words and thoughts, think of a better way
When I shall reach the finishing line of life’s race.

No stifled cries or keening when you see...

I am in transition,
with intentions of
building a new house.
Presently, I don't know
when I will have a sense
of permanency in housing.
In 53 years, I have moved 19 times.
From South to North;
From North to South;
From South to...

Darkness abides save flickering candle light
Illuminating his silhouette of masculinity 
exhaustion renders an end tonight
Supplanting all previous antiquity  

In the quiet he sleeps 
Leaning close to steal his breath 
As the wanting piques 
With...

Did not the promise of my life unto you pledge eternity
Within the scriptures of the pages of our love
Inscribed upon the parchment of this union
As we created the intimate, the divine, and the sensual

Did I...

What is true up above the sky blue?
The deserts and oceans?
The fountains and mountains?
The fields and vegetation or greenery?
The orchards or forestry?
The temples, factories, buildings and establishments
The firms and developments.
Nothing exists permanently and forever,
The wheels...

Every life has courage
Every life can see the light
Every life can see the truth 
Every life is a priceless piece

Every day can be trailblazing
Everyday dialect has an exact mannerism
Every day has clues that suggest steadiness...

Nothing is permanent 


Baby to Toddler,
Toddler to Child,
Child to Adolescence,
Adolescence to Adult,
Old age then death.
Appearance vanishes,
No permanency in-
the growth of human.



Nature is there,
It’s destruction acts,
Change features.
New features,
New growth.
It’s appearance exists,
Permanency expires.


Happiness, Sadness,
Failures, success,
Never last long.
It’s...

Warm, sticky hands palm off dry, self-centred ground,
Touched by gingerly acclaiming seeds of new-borns: 
Ready, willing and eager for the harsh, expecting role, 
Supposedly not with any crudeness, brashness or horns; 
As we sit in...

TYRANNY

Self-centred  narcissism -
Lying, cheating, stealing.
Uncaring  interest only in money :
A monster all want to be rid of. 

You can call it evil if you want, but it’s 
Lurking inside ourselves;  it’s part...

When the wheels of time move and the birth-death cycle ceases
Piercing through perishables Atman gains permanency.
Dharma (righteousness), Artha (values), and Kama (eases)
Lead to mirthful Moksha (liberation) marvellously.

The thought of attaining this Moksha in me is...

An earthly existence
A universe beyond my minds, comprehension
I die
I rise
Life lessons reviewed
Homeward bound
I am not lost, after all!
I am a willing participant
Serving, the Father, of all creation
His son combined, ‘producing life’ as we know it
Representing...

Sometimes there are people, places, and things we must revisit.
Some lines and letters of a pen, written with a need to re-edit,
are occasionally found difficult to rewrite or to erase. And even
If one succeeds in...

Was this, what it was for?
This path of metaphor
Trails of similes and imagery
Summits of sun-tossed poetry

Have I run this marathon
Bulked up my artistic bond
So on pretty words, rely
To bear witness, as you die?

I would return...

It’s been a Year, plus One, and plus a Half!
And who’m I, that at Victory, I should weep?
To sing praise, and to kill the fatted calf –
So, I should do, and yet, instead, I sleep.
You’ve...

All Actions Have Consequences

I make things only to destroy them
To build them up again
Repeat the action

A point in one direction, like a mirror, points back at you
To that end
A reflection on what once was

Looking up

I'd rather be the moonlight and stare at the sea all day, 
then come morning, by the sunlight, like a shadow be chased away.

I would rather be the sunlight and dance all day on the...

Building a Better Box

To build a better box to store more things
Full of history, memory and other rusted stuff
Tools will have to cut and kill the trees
Trees will have to die and change their shape

OBSESSION
I seduced your mind,
found your heart
and you promised to be mine
til eternity

You flourish my heart with candy love
your smile assures me permanency
enforced by the promise of friendship
not on paper nor a pledge
but from your heart
which...
