Long Unclenched Poems

The seeker who seeks does not exist
but to begin with, this truth is not known,
so being accustomed to needless striving,
the earth entity begins its God search quest,
searching high and low, yet negating the light
that lies...

Hidden stars, out lights of the sky,
In the alleys where secrets lie,
Tall black houses built with grout
Whispering stories of shadows stout.

My fists hit the sturdy doors.
Seeking answers that lie hidden in...

This is the second half, read part one before this

...This life was unlike others, not ripe, not light
We curs't them, 'stood not their mutual blight
There was a strange ambience, a UV map
of Pyrrhic love, a...

There they were again, 
the double digits on my clock,
11:11; 1:01; 8:08; 14:14

Should they be significant?
I. Don't. Know.

Someone once told them they were.
In a freaky kind of way,
but I don't pay much mind.

It is just...

The feeling is deep inside 
Calling as a helpless innocent guilt
It has become too much for me
Falling down like a cracking mountain
I imagine it as a scarlet, an unclenched stain.
Becoming a slave to my freedom...

Fleeting is joy and traumatic is pain
We oscillate between desires and fears
Granted free will but soon boon becomes bane
Challenges of earth life drives us to tears
We set goals but horizon disappears 
Like a spoilt child,...

No more ghostly figures
No more skeletal tangle
No more ice with her
No more pain in the ankle

Children of the sunshine
Buildings smiling with the scent
Hands of yours and mine
Into the breeze they went

In the strawberry shade
Liberally birds...

Once, as I sat on a lush green lawn, swirled around my head
Hundreds of butterflies, having come out of nowhere!
They each took a piece of my clothes in their tiny mouths
And led me to where...

Icicles hung from the roof 
like translucent fingers 
Clawing towards the ground 
While behind the eaves, 
She brushed her plain brown hair 
Tired gray eyes in the mirror, 
Discolored around the fringe 

And gravity pulled...

I held you so tight and so hard and so close to me that I could not let go
My arms would not come undone and your cloak of discontent half covered my body
My ears could...

The Stillness Beneath Me


They said I’d know I’m fully alive

when laughter bloomed or sorrow cried.

But both are gusts that pass me by—

and neither one has ever lied.


Yet neither tells the whole of me.

They come, they...

Kundalini - Divine Mother

Forged from earth’s crust, we are but dust
Deluded heart, enslaved by lust
We flounder about, incomplete
Till spurred by kundalini’s thrust

Ego’s ways lead but to defeat
Best we surrender at God’s feet
Emptiness within magnetised
Dancing to...

I walked beneath the ribcage of a giant whale;
Encapsulated in the briney entrails of an empty long-dead being.

Its grimace echoed in these halls of boned wall,
Of which calcite chambers temper;
Sturdy glass upon the shores.

Licked by...

Daddy went hunting.
Mamma went too.
Daddy got a deer,
but Mamma got two.

Mamma told her story
while Daddy stood by
looking like at any time
he was gonna cry.

We all thought "He's jealous
he only got one."
But, Daddy had a reason

before we begin to inquire
what both life and death represent
is fate fickle, does God exist
let us pause to ask, who we are 
with an open mind, unclenched fist

lost in the maze of metaphors
bemused by sermons...

My foolish heart’s nonjudgmental 
Quick to forgive, kind and gentle
Discerns truth by spherical sight
Touch tender, embrace parental

Gripped in rapture of bliss delight
My heart’s aglow by day and night
Joy it’s sole theme, in this life dream
Sharing...

I would unfold my hand
As I show it to you,
Steady, fistful of sand.
You'd trace creases time drew,
Dedicate direction,
Lean ever closer, still,
Tracing my skin's section,
No collected landfill.
Psalm pilot, calm zealot,
Future's moments' to read,
Psalm pilot, psalms yet...

Shiva and Shakti, both are one
Light of the spiritual sun
Sprouting from Hirayangarbha 
When our lower mind comes undone

Pure of heart are free from dukha 
Distanced from earthy brouhaha 
Spiritual heart, all aglow
Awakens consciousness Buddha

All enabled...

Be to Become

Beauteous is our aliveness
Time stretched rippleless blissfulness 
Wherein love alone does remain
As vibrancy of That oneness

Choice of bliss trance does seem insane
For therein, ego’s to rest lain
Vaporised self, as a bliss mist
Breaks free...

I shall wander the sand dunes
and cotton fields of my youth,

eyes wide and hands unclenched
to finally face the truth.

I shall fly upon my angel wings
to find the Alpine pass

that Hannibal crossed in legend's lore
upon the...

The morning air turned silver, from the mist
The trees stood quiet, holding up the sky
This calming serenity unclenched my fist
As I came to this forest, wanting to die
Collected dreams still haunt me, from the war

As life happens, we wisen, soul glistens
Caveat being, there be no stupor
Poised in stillness, to our conscience listen
Bliss vapour with no anchor for rancour 

In our each entrée, awareness the key
Moment to moment, peaking bliss...

When you try to solve your problems
with the swing of an angry fist 
that cannot be unswung
nor the damage caused undone
regret will sidle up
hollow out your belly
and set your mind awhirl
conveying very clearly 
that what...
