perhaps responsibility stifles spontaneity
if we be the doer so enacting the play
but innocence in resonation with love
is motiveless and without any inhibition
as exuberance outpouring effervescence

My Command to Poetry Soup:
Over Forty Thousand The Group:
Keep your records of my poems
Between ‘Motiveless’ and ‘With-Whims’;
In your cherishing software lodge,
Destroyers surface you just dodge…
Let them – yes – in secret files stay,
The Heavens and Earth to pass away.
Each had occurred in sharp flashes
And out of weightless mind dashes!
Verse-retrieving mind poorly shines,
Trust me, I’d call up but few lines;
So Angering and Demonic
Weakness Fighting The Harmonic
Thus, if lose I do a copy
You and I, rashly, The Sloppy;
The same: my Uploaded Short Stories,
Now forty-three, Number hurries!
No longer command: Make The Promise
Not A Halved Single shall I miss.
Perfect poise, joyous innocence
Heart glows, as our eyes smile
Infusing in the void, vibrance
Motiveless, free from guile
We meld with the current
Our soul, luminescent
Ego urge decadent
Erase noise
Perfect poise

Quietus
Joyful innocence of our childhood years
Drawn in through perceptional memory
Carefree exuberance devoid of fears
Fun and frolic in continuity
With fun and games our only agenda
It was a whirlpool of activity
Rolling in the mud we felt no stigma
Flowing joyfully moment to moment
Life was simple; today an enigma
We recall back then, we were innocent
Smiles and tears both came to us easily
Instant forgiveness marked our love quotient
Blissful years of our childhood passed quickly
Hearts entwined back then still stand by our side
Pure love motiveless; embracing fully
Childhood scenes sweet; how quickly did they glide
We reflect now, with this understanding
We were pure of heart, one with God inside
A child once more, ego surrendering
Love does lead, with innocence following

10 syllables per line Terza Rima poem
Write on the theme of the following quote-
"How sweet to the heart are the scenes of my childhood"
Samuel Woodworth, 1785-1842
Presence centred in the void fearless
With the thread of truth in alignment
Outpouring love in silence & stillness
Motiveless flows in quiet contentment
Empathetic & warm to agitated souls
Recognising aberrations as temporary
Tranquil compassion making all whole
Radiating joy in gentleness sedentary
Reaching out in an impulsive embrace
Flowing in the continuum with elation
Both imbibing & radiating divine grace
The flow of life itself is our meditation
