The gunas
The gunas three represent our soul’s modes,
being darkness, desire and tranquil peace,
each taking us along different roads,
wherein the right choice secures soul’s release.
It is not denied that we’ll oscillate
but by making steady our heart’s resolve,
ego spawned desires then no longer bait
and holding God’s hand we slowly evolve.
Whatever comes and goes is unreal,
so sagacious souls hold steady focus,
on flame of love holding promise to heal,
propelling us along heaven’s locus.
We have been bestowed with free will to choose,
sloth, rage or light as flavour of heart’s muse.

Ram or goat the choice be I

Oscillate on thoughts
Fermions amount to sum

For I am born one with sun
It’s all inside you
None but bold be the one Thoth
Inside the fire be one
Together be the ocean
Yet the ocean be drop too

Metronomes and Garden Gnomes
Instead of isolation
consider oscillation
Proof positive
is clear to see
It all boils down
to frequency
Which of these words
hits close to home
a metronome or
garden gnome?
Their differentiation
lies in oscillation
Metronomes oscillate
tick-tick-tick
Garden gnomes isolate in
s i l e n c e
s i l e n c e
s i l e n c e
Will tick-tick-tick
define your life
or silence filled with
fear and strife?
Proof positive
is clear to see
It all boils down
to frequency
Instead of isolation
consider oscillation
Live life one tick at a time
Meter matters as does rhyme
Situational awareness
Won’t protect you if you’re careless
How much better at day’s end
to be found kind

Prayer inspired by Psalm 19:14
Feeble are senses and muddled is mind,
bewildered in this world of illusion
but by shifting to heart, loving and kind,
clear light dawns, erasing our confusion.
Love is the litmus test, which we employ,
though we confess our thoughts do oscillate,
so at times wayward ego does decoy,
for in this realm, we’re far from heaven’s gate.
We are Your child, tempestuous and wild,
so guide us dear God, with your healing hand,
that our words then be both loving and mild,
radiating divine light, as You planned.
Breath by breath in life, each moment we start,
recognising that You dwell in our heart.

Zen mode
doubts that arise
are beheld in surprise
signalling we are dreaming
in such thoughts so streaming
if we would have God appear
then ego must disappear
thinking process end
for soul to ascend
though we oscillate
in time thoughts abate
load on our heart lightens
throb of magnetism heightens

Shine Bright O' Golden Pen
Shine Bright O' Golden Pen
To Empower & Inspire The Masses Of Men,
Burn Ever Luminous & Blaze As The Sun
And Let Thy Ballpoint Scintillate Like The Chosen One,
Fill Thy Longhand With Prestine Manuscripts
To Great Endeavors That Shall Sail Afar Like Ocean Ships,
Guide Thee To Depths Unknown
When Many Are Lost & Have Lost All Hope,
Illuminate Thy Ink Scrolls For All Of Time
With Knowledge & Wisdom & Light Divine,
Oscillate The Great Duality That Always Was
And Let It Transcend Through The Sword That Descends From Above,
Infuse Thee With Essence As An Emerald Stone
So I Shall Articulate These Jasmine & Fiery Poems

Veritas
I noted the stillness
in your hands, the
casual arc of your shoulders,
a deceitful ease in your voice—
as if the world melted into your anima,
your eyes spoke the nether language
(angelicus anima).
I watched your eyes oscillate,
a tidal wave of light,
gleams of individuation
propagating outward,
devastating all disguises—
quiet fissures in the
careful strata
of us.

A Cello's Lament
In shadows cast by candlelight's embrace,
I hold my cello close, in tender grace.
The haunting melody spills from my fingers,
Weaving a spell that lingers and lingers.
Each note a tear, each bow a sigh,
The music carries a soulful cry.
In the echoes of the strings' lament,
An angel's presence is surely sent.
With every stroke, a story unfolds,
Of beauty and sorrow, of truths untold.
The cello's voice, both fierce and mild,
Captivates like the gaze of a lost child.
The angel dances in the music's glow,
A phantom of grace in the oscillate and swing.
Bound to the song, in ethereal flight,
Enraptured by the melody's might.
Together we weave a tapestry divine,
A tale of love and loss, of joy and pine.
In the hush of the night, under the stars' gleam,
We play on, lost in the music's dream.
So let the cello cry, let the angel soar,
In harmonies that will forever endure.
For in the heart-wrenching strains we play,
A fleeting glimpse of heaven's ray.

Bonfire Heart 2
Where Stars Collide and Shine Ablaze
and Passions Stir where Great Fires Rage,
Where Internal Treasures Oscillate
and Glow like Wild Fires with Wild Flames,
and Ignite by the Zenith within
to catch the Zephyr into the Calm Sea Of Bliss,
where Bonfires Blaze there I call Home
and Drift the Abyss, from Within I Roam,
from Within I Sail beyond the Reaches Of Time
beyond the Oceans Of Darkness, Into Rivers Sublime
Into Rivers Of Light that Illumine the Nights
that Illumine the Heart that Illumines the Minds,
I'M A BONFIRE

having been, seen and so known
that our true Self is living light
what causes us to oscillate
in fierce winds of duality
accepting what is as is
void-centric presence is still
in the continuum bliss energised
delighting at slow motion awakening

My truths
“For the light of truth to appear ~
Negate each desire and every fear”
~ quote by poet
Although I dwell in decaying form,
I know I’m not this organic body mind,
since in deep meditation I’ve been, seen and so known,
truth of my pure, eternal being, at a singularity point,
living light, at peace, feeling complete.
To discern the truth, the pathless path simply requires this:
oscillate attention between objects and space, as a nonchalant witness.
Earth is a school, where in pulse dual, overcoming adversities
we grow in love, wisdom and in power,
which is the will of God.
This is my truth, which I have imbibed by touch,
a knowing available to all, at any moment in time,
upon shifting from head to heart,
blissful presence recognising life as but a dream.

Consciousness correction
The roots of conditioning go in deep,
letting soul take not a consciousness leap,
so becoming slow and slower yet still,
this is the way to God we bend our will.
Refinement is an arduous process
but over time bliss mists do make ingress,
so though we oscillate, thoughts are distilled
and in time darkness is with God’s light filled.
Earth life is a school and we’re here to learn,
facing life’s trials and willingly burn,
for which steadfast must remain our resolve,
that breath by breath we may here now evolve.
Continuous consciousness correction
is the preferred path to reach perfection.

Inspirational Music
Shriek permeates bones break
Zigzwang with miasma tang
No one is saying anything
I’m going insane
Crossroads to make a deal
Instead his scalp I peel
Elitist swine high on the mantle
Pleas to stop as I disassemble
Cry wolf flock the sheep
Alabaster hooves on concrete
How do you even sleep?
On a conveyor belt don’t you see
Your packages of maggot meat
You hesitate then bite down and eat
Cannibalistically sickening
Pinky up with red whine to drink
It's important to me
Not important to you
What does everyone do
Another ventriloquist
Another jejune seepage
Another fist up anus
Another one to work your lips
Grrraaaaaaaaahhhhh
Slaves and marionettes
Stand up your the circus
Clowns in cars trying to fit
Rushing to drop knee, oscillate and submit
You don’t know what darkness truly is
Grotesque being where I sit
Trying to circumvent eager dummies kismet
By all means let me know
What your master says dear little puppets
In the comments, middle fingers both flip
Hack and spit

Our dilemma
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 greed mirrored by fear
even though deep down we did recognise
that organic form is doomed to die
and is therefore definitely unreal
still we languished in denial
fearful to relinquish imagined control
continuing to oscillate between opposites
trauma bonding with ego and nurturing suffering
we found peace in thought rested silence
and in moments when love became manifest
for in these God gifted immersions ego receded
and therefore the path to freedom was self-evident
but to extinguish identity whilst heart was beating
it was too much of an ask for us to consider
even though scriptures validated truth
we remained captive to thought
alive as a dead man walking
