Long Stuporous Poems

we are here
why would we negate
so we do accept this reality 
taking our stuporous aliveness
within decaying organic form
as the point of reference
with which we begin
Ramana’s inquiry
who am I

looking back at our life
we notice our values...

Time has passed by since I wrote
No awards received, not even a vote
Book shelves are filled with all the best sellers
Libraries kept mine down in their cellars. 

I tossed out the old glass oil lamp

Self as living light, dwells in feeble form
We know this truth not because we’re in trance
Helpless like a leaf, caught in a thought storm
Save in silence, stuporous is soul’s stance

Mistaken we are only body-mind
We pursue...

Negating nothing, accepting what is,
we begin then with this organic shell,
where stuporous mind treats life like a quiz,
birthing fears though heart tells us all is well.
For our well-being, we struggle and strive
but joy in permanence...

“If God omnipresent, He must be resident within
We must feel then now, bliss tremors on our skin”

Where could you be tonight, Sinatra?
Love and Marriage
Love and Marriage
A chant I heard reverberate
As far away as the length of the waves 
I rode indisposed 
When I was bound
To a remote island
Named Buyukada

The permanent content...

rapid blink rate
sensory
seamless hum rate
heartbeat
epitomises attributes
of our inner being
as dweller of our heart
to who we are tethered 
by stuporous awareness

attuning therein we are
in wholeness of being
ascended

our mind that is
as embodied
questions
who is the dweller
of our inner...

Life of Lonny McBain

Being home by the fire will ease the strain
from being out in this cold miserable rain
the crackling sparks will shed some pain
making me feel I’m not yet insane. 

Boiling some water for...

as pain within swells
to a heightened level
origin belied expectation
of null love reciprocation

such contortions tainted
delusions self anointed
do not stay with us long
as we sing the love song
reverberations of our soul
keeping us joyful & whole
birthing a throb...

Clear truth’s known to spherical sight
Hidden behind veil of our mind
It is soul’s self-existent light
We see it not since we are blind
Being from the source misaligned 
By stuporous thoughts, we’re controlled
In narrow grooves, by dark...

We have been up, down, sideways and phased
displaced by lonely nights aimed to raise
shunning suns of spun solitary pains.
Numerous strains of darkness dispensed from
fights ceaselessly warn my stuporous heart
that wrongs now death drag the good...

A simple physical breath recitation
For we cannot yet call it meditation 

Gently inhaling we pause at the heart
Likewise pause at crown when breath departs
Breathing thus with pause of cessation
Thoughts may come & go as of...

As of our own choosing
We descend into gross matter
Earth life maya illusions bemusing
Fuelled by our minds ceaseless chatter

We make complex the simple
By stagnation in ego indulgence 
Shifting our view to love spherical 
We may reclaim...

Last night about you I had a dream
Punching the marketplace time clock
“Morning Ralph, Morning Sam” and so it seemed
At work we always laughed a lot
You came to me and lotioned your hands
With the candle I...

we signed up for earth life
with memory erased
immersed in trance
to grow in love and wisdom
learning breath by breath by touch
but ego hijacked stuporous awareness 
whence we deludedly believed we are form
and so nurtured lust and...

As the breath of God vitalised inert matter,
dust thus animated, began to dance,
enabled by bliss magnetism,
suffusing feeble form.

One that became two, feeling separate from source,
looked in within, beholding head and heart,
conjoined and yet standing apart,
insentient...

To sound the right musical note,
string of the guitar is made taut,
so likewise for our light to shine,
trials we face, make us self-taught.

Stuporous is mind, heart unkind,
insipid stance, clumsy our dance,
floundering about as though blind,
mindful...

Bound to form, habituated to conditioned patterns of experiential thought and aspirational imagination interpreting sensory signals, yet recognising the inherent limitation of such stuporous indulgence, awareness gradually unshackles itself from these narrow fetters, embracing the...

Skeletons hang from family trees

How still is our stillness 
Is it unexpectant in attentiveness
Or is there an undercurrent of craving
A feeling that something is lacking
Making our meditation weak
Owing to energy leak
A blockage
That does ravage
Pristinity of our attention 
Denying divine...

Feeling alive and enabled therein
The divine recognising that clouded is our sight
Plunges us in darkness prompting us to awaken

With spiralling wild imagination...
