We’re (my roommates and I) at a specific time of youth - a time I’ll call “close.” We aren’t fully adults but we’re close, we’re not completely out and independent, but we’re close. And once...

The Trials of Meretrix Canto I

When your befuddled mind
Forsakes upon the ragged edge
Of swirling darkness;
Where eternal night awaits
To sate upon purest innocence
Besides an open grave!
When the gravity of your perils
Be foully whispered within
Dismayed
And abject earshot;
Where salvation for despairing souls
Be so...

optimal object of meditation

the hermits gathered, exchanging notes
each had searched for the truth but had failed
so they conferred, sharing their heart’s emotes 
dismayed that the light within had now paled 

the first hermit’s meditation was earth
solidity we need...

The Night Your Landlady Came To Your Room 

by Robert Davidson 

A loose gown in which her flesh swam free 
Fascinated 
Your eyes resting diffidently, the full white breasts 
The shadowed cleft

Heaven Turned to Hell, Then Hell Turned to a Heaven

What's man that heaven turned to hell
in Eden's garden? It's a tale,
as old as time before the flood,
before Cain spilled Abel's blood.

Subtler than murder, the neighbor 
grows rich against the miserably poor;
with might, the sword...

From Darkness To Light

Earth element

Driven by instincts feral
Self-centred stance
An animal in human form
Gravity pulled me down

Material possessions
I seized by any means
Territorial behavior
In an imaginary cage

Yet in this density
In moments of silence
Love within stirred
Signalling God's presence

Water element

Lust and domination
Testosterone...

A Deserved Redemption (Dedication To Craigery Michael Owens)

As daylight fades behind a fractured beauty,
Lights flash and hands in the air,
Hearts collide while shadows search through the night,
Reaching out for something to hold, 
But all you got was an empty feeling,

The breath you...

Our Autobiography

finding ourselves here
awareness self-aware
ensouling form feeble 
sensory touch external
our lower mind stirring
found ego urges rising
oft against conscience 
throttling our innocence 
reinforcing this torture
veiling love hues subtler 
until we became dead
going where desires led
in cyclic joy...

Knowing Love When You Find It

Knowing Love When You Find It!

Is love a nectar, random taste for candy bars,
Or gem so rarely found you’d dare a trip to Mars?
Do sweetness, rareness, beauty own their light or wane?
Might wiser pilgrim’s paths...

For Conversations - a Discourse

We met here, I remember
The first day of my first creation
I found hunger for my expression
Through the midwifery of your eyes
O you have such an ear
For the birth cries of conversation
I met you
Singing like the...

Parting the Purple Sea

If the waves 
the shore stored
parted for a new Moses,
I'd fissure these hearts
composed of stone
beneath flash floods
blue, bolts
incarcerated
in your chaos order.

Absence makes
the fall much stronger,
months I hate
they undulate
transfigure blindness
still subtler
until my mind goes we're back...

The Inexpressible

THE INEXPRESSIBLE…
Vocabulary passes into oblivious dissolution,
And embankment of expression 
Awaits the fragile knocks of fear,
Wholeness circumscribed the lonely emptiness
And the subdued self desires to draw 
The figure of its universe 
In the shrinking shell of...

Our Lady

Our Lady?

You are our lady
of grace.
And now your dress?Is flames.?
The beauty of your sunken dome from a drone
Is a poem in itself.
Written by us and
Destroyed by chaos.?

This is what we do that rivals the stature...

Seijaku

the eye of the hurricane is still
humming silently with potent power
as is the animated stillness continuum 
preceding the emission of heart’s pure intent

thought cessation of consciousness self-aware
holding erect all energies in perfect balance

The Charge of the Brown Brigade

Like so many lemmings blindly leaping 
To join a game of follow-the-leader, 
Every year around October
They decide to descend, all sweeping 
Down on an evening breeze.

Pd How Foxxy Is She

There once was a fine buxom lass
who wrote poetry with real class
and though she was sly
real foxxy and why

Suspicion Fell On the Butler

Murder was served at the table.
The fellow is dead, not stable.
Page turned, nothing could be subtler -
Suspicion fell on the butler.

It was the salt and peppering -
It’s clear his oversteppering
was found out this night…all knives...

Vbt Practice 12 of 112

Voids within the void and conduits within the central conduit
We keep refining sensibility with unwavering prayer resolute

The Sushumna is no doubt the central funnel
Throbbing with bliss, a divine enabled miracle

Vbt Practice 8 of 112

We imagine breath filling the entire Sushumna 
In fullness from Muladhara to Sahasrara
Then along this locus
We get to one pointed focus
Between the eyebrows at the Ajna chakra
Pure awareness without thought stigma

Then the breath becomes more...

High fidelity

the image was distorted
because the canvas was contorted 
and so to set things right 
we entered staid silence, becoming the light

now with the vast void, having become our home
from a centreless fulcrum, resounded gong of...

Rakhi

"  Rakhi - for my brother  "


Threads of Rakhi entwined in love,
Connote a sister's love for her brother,

Love that got obscured in busy life,
Distance progressed as we adored our families,

But only seemingly parted,...

Instant Nirvana

With Schumann’s resonance on the upswing
We get to subtler vibrations quicker
Imbibing divine upsurges bliss brings
If light of awareness does not flicker

Ah! Love in love with love, for love alone
Head-heart meld, time stands still, we vaporise
Rapture...
