sweet luminescence

sweet luminescence
prevails under moonlight
as do thoughts of you

The Star

Glittering unhindered in the sky 
Is the star’s glow at places high,
Lighting seas’ abysmal turmoils:
Nature’s eye that darkness foils. 

But this glow’s sometimes short-lived:
Evil gods by such excessive shine miffed
May with clouds obfuscate  the star
And its heavenly luminescence mar. 

Yet whether in resplendent glow
Or by jealous clouds overcast,
A star will remain a star you know;
Beaming still or marred by dust.

Luminescence

My eyes fast open.
   Afar a light.

Adrift in slumber.
    my souls in flight.

Afraid in devine.
   Behind, the mundane.

Upon luminaire.
   My luminaire remain.

Iridescent luminescence

Power to invoke aesthetic delight,
is found in cave of heart, betwixt bliss beats,
teleporting soul to zenith like height,
love’s refrain that unendingly repeats.

Subtler than the subtlest scent to us known,
God’s elixir sublime enlivens form,
revealing deep truths, to us alone known,
soothed by magnetised mists, both cool and warm.

Slowing down life’s pace, we garner God’s grace,
felt as light radiating from our core,
holding pristine presence in close embrace,
bliss that leaves heart begging for an encore.

In timeless time as we become the flame,
endless bliss rapture is our claim to fame.

Luminescence

Ceasing all striving, we now make no effort,
since we have melded with the vast universe
and thus bliss magnetism on its own does spurt,
forming a pattern that reflects as our verse.
Our soul is cleansed and our heart is free from hurt
making this life a blessing and not a curse,
so though in bliss mists we continue to sway,
we see the truth behind the veil, clear as day.

Luminescence

Only going around the moon,
where to the eclipse I feed homage
to keep my heart in my fingers;
there pallor in the empiricism of
burning conscience lifts

to look on a dark spot—
in the hallways of my soul.
My thought would be alone inside— 
the polished floor with broken 
frames.

Couldn't I stand unappalled
for my scars, then absolute
them in ocean salt?  There,
walks no line...

just phantasms in silver,
that harvest the beauty
of dreams.

Within twisted vines,
out of their depth—
a shaded rose grows.

Luminescence

“Be still oh hermit and take a sneak peek ~
We are living light, we always did seek”
            ~ quote by poet


Made in God’s image, we are light,
pulsating by day and by night,
which is cognised, when heart is still,
beholding truth with inner sight.

Head-heart discord makes soul feel ill,
until we surrender our will,
gentling thought, giving love a nod,
whereupon dark voids within fill.

Love then is the means to reach God,
whence light bursts forth from body pod,
our bliss drenched heart then feels complete,
a blossoming that leaves us awed.

Enabled by magnetic heat, 
breath by breath, rises God’s bliss beat,
transforming feeble body-mind,
from head to toe thus, joy replete.

We know not the light, being blind,
veiled by narrow cravings that bind,
yet we can, here and now be free,
by choosing thoughts, words and deeds kind. 

Silence and stillness holds the key,
enabling carefree soul to see
its eternal luminescence,
expanding as per God’s decree.

Rosalie

“Rosalie, oh Rosalie!
A contrast of beauty, with a saturation of rufescent 
What every heart intercepts when they have reminisces
which never transcends herself when she is mistakened of fluorescences
Rosalie, oh Rosalie!
She harmonizes one's life, with her humility of delight 
Yet her dashing aspects are remarkable in light   
For not once she palettes a stage of fright  
Rosalie, oh Rosalie! 
When she lifts the flushed rose to her blushed rubescent lips 
The curtains of the heavens began to lift  
for her chastity is for what relieves rift bids 
Rosalie, oh, Rosalie!
She enriches one’s future, 
She diminishes their past, 
She lives her present; from beginning to last
Rosalie, oh Rosalie!  
Her spikes are what prick one’s heart
So emancipating apart 
Which devotion comparts 
Rosalie, oh Rosalie!
Is she not just a hallucination of humanity's  delusions? 
Or is it just  component of revolution; 
So ruinous of this only luminescence of faith 
Or might it be something to only recall my presence  late?
Rosalie, oh Rosalie!”

Valentines Spirit

“Her smile as captivating as a blooming rose 
her eyes as dating as it shames the bluebells petals of beaus 
It seemed so opposed yet I wanted to foreclose 
She was  the luminescence of my interceptions 
As  a fluorescence, she came to me in my deceptions
Enriching up my conceptions, 
Yet is that all that she makes me please? 
A glorious image in repeat? 
Something that seems to discreet
Yet, in my reminiscence called dreams, she’s always my receptance 
Yet, never seems to befall in her own conceptions 
But always pleases that luminescence that burns in my inceptions 
A fire that burns in her right 
However,  dissolves in my sight”

I Am Luminescence-

•	I AM LUMINESCENCE-
I stand in the dark 
Yet it’s not dark
For I shine it’s Light
I am luminescence 
And I am bright and lit up

Inner Luminescence

Gods love within, veiled by ego
trauma bonding, loathe to forgo
whilst, if we simply surrender
we behold His light and thunder 
our vaporised self, all aglow

Self-Luminescence

Light
of truth
dawns gently,
when we admit
divine bliss current
to fill all voids within.
As past conditioning ebbs,
veils of ignorance are removed,
enabling thus Gods love to fill us
transmuting mind body as living light.

We cannot garner these truths using force,
for by connecting, not by grasping,
may we cognise the life current
pulsating ceaselessly here,
now, within our being,
known if we listen,
silencing thought,
as our heart
imbibes
love.

Perils of Self-Luminescence

The light that lights the sun
Shines within our glowing heart
Cognised when we come all undone
Whereupon bliss ignition within us starts

Eternal noumenon manifesting phenomena 
Innate aliveness screen of awareness
In silence no longer an enigma
As light of consciousness 

Light that from within radiates
Unable to behold it’s luminescence 
Save through mirrors in stillness sedate
Clear light shines upon meditative innocence 

Moon beauteous softens the suns bright light
Making the source of light itself envious 
For the sun lacks as yet inner sight
Of its own luminosity oblivious 

Fish in the river feels thirsty
How then may we fulfil its longing
Koans and parables dislodge serenity
Thus deluded earth entity keeps on weeping 

Ominous darkness under the light of a candle 
Illusion having no independent existence
Yet shadows get on mind a handle
Urging light to pay penance

Inner Luminescence

As bliss throbs heighten
Rapture within peaks
The outer world fades
Divine nectar seeps
Our aura brightens

We alone feel
Bliss joy appeal
Open secret
None can ferret

Thus flowing
Love blossoming
Becoming

Crescent
Moonlight

Shines

Luminescence

A

                        thread of

                bright light through 

the keyhole portends a fine afternoon.

  Behold the glory of the midday sun! 

               The grey clouds have 

                      disappeared 

                           from the

                               sky.
