Overspill Poems

How was the universe created

In God’s heart an intent arose,
which we may simply call His will,
to manifest the universe,
where agape love may overspill.

God conjured earth, water and fire 
which are present in every form
and once this knowing we acquire,
bastions of wisdom we can storm.

These three elements God combined,
to create all that’s manifest,
by force of His absolute mind,
each form being by His touch blessed.

There then are only these three things,
within all diverse forms beheld
and in each heart God Himself sings,
that soul may choose with Him to meld.

Reworded, we do not exist,
as a separate entity;
of highest truth, this is the gist ~
false is ego identity.

All we see is an appearance,
diverse spectrum of vibration,
wherein all that is, is entwined,
commingled with God’s creation.

Scripture read, differing we say,
air and space deserve inclusion;
we need them too in form of clay,
five entwined in perfect fusion.

Zen mode

humming bliss beats and flow of soma nectar 
enlivens soul presence though we remain still
as magnetism pierces each body vector
our cup of joy thus begins to overspill

whilst the external world moves as is ordained
we blissfully navigate the void unchained
feeling no lack knowing God watches our back
although decaying form is stretched on a rack

Why I became a poet

When the sable ink flirted with the quill 
How my muse blushed and blotted with a thrill
Upon parchment that submitted at will
To the words that began to overspill

At school I discovered 'tram' rhymed with 'scram'
And confusing homophones 'damn' and 'dam'
When my rhymes steamed along the meter track
A villanelle came on board for a snack

Welcoming those, not having metaphor
Free verse and sonnets came calmly ashore
On carpets of prose from the Haiku store
As the dipped quill quivered for an encore

Across each line the rivers of ink swam
'I became a poet, because I am'

Psalm 23 as felt when invoked

The conscience is my guide;
soul’s compass infallible.

Befriending silence, I dwell in the vast void;
freed from fetters of dark desire.

Holy Spirit makes me complete:
entwining polarities, awakening within heart boundless bliss,
my staircase to heaven.

Organic form is but a garment, so death holds for me no dread,
my heart’s untouched by evil,
for You dwell within me,
rod of initiation within my spine energised.

Rising above my lower mind and the incessant cravings of ego,
Your grace in-pours from the fontanel,
behold soma nectar overspill!

Like a child I hold Your hand,
breath by breath, day and night,
for you oh Lord are the dweller of my heart
forever.

Mindful eye

Notice the decay
of form, here to stay
but our heart yet sings,
minding not life’s stings.

Notice the stark fear,
that dark thoughts draw near
but if we be still,
joy will overspill.

Notice heart’s desire,
now a raging fire
but if we look on,
erst cravings are shorn.

Notice staid stillness 
ushering wellness,
so let us choose peace,
turning a new leaf.

Becoming the flame

Imbibing God’s current, divine sublime,
we stand erect as a pillar of light,
free from desire and yet we upward climb,
cradled by bliss magnetism, day and night.

Our hollowed out form, in which our heart beats,
standing still, in resonance with God’s will,
invokes a bliss dance, whose refrain repeats,
causing soma nectar to overspill.

As light both transcendent and immanent,
grace is received by our receptive heart,
until the current becomes permanent,
ignition that each moment does restart.

We do nothing yet all doings are done,
since the flame knows God and it are both one.

The pathless path

Drowned in thoughts cacophonous trill
Deaf to conscience, we’ve become ill
How then may dark voids within fill
If we know not how to be still

To make easy ascent uphill
Ego cravings we need to kill
But silence is an acquired skill
For which we must surrender will

Dew drops within heart overspill
If we choose to take a chill pill
Love draws us back for a refill
That our life mission we fulfil

Graceful

“Behold deep within, magic of God’s wonder ~
Sound of one hand clapping, resounds like thunder”
            ~ quote by poet


Beauteous and graceful is the dance divine,
at play within, orbiting our heart centre,
requiring but of us with love to align,
whereupon we feel rapturous bliss canter,
hastening ascent, since love for love does pine,
leaving heart’s door ajar, for us to enter.
Divine energy magically loops form;
we look on awestruck, swept away in this storm.

There is in truth no doing we need to do,
save relinquishing cravings of egoic will,
as polarities orbit heart to renew
flow of soma nectar that does overspill,
igniting soul that shines like fresh morning dew,
urging us to savour bliss to our heart’s fill.
Symbolic language can describe not God’s grace,
transmuting form, yet leaving behind no trace.

Poets

Poets understand what it is to share
They've poetic hearts that truly do care
When you are saddened, the best thing to do
Is pour out your feelings, it helps you through.

Releasing emotions on overspill
Is adept as shouting from a high hill
It's a therapy that gets it all out
Whatever your troubles maybe just shout.

Poet power breaks down barrier walls
There's nothing to stop you from telling all
Write it as it is, leave no stones unturned
There's magical healing in written words.

Poetry prayers are read, despair heard
And many a poet's heart doth become stirred
If there's a pain in your soul needs a fix
There are poets around bound to soothe it.

Bliss Drenched Stillness

All’s enabled if heart is still
For there then remains no desire
We surrender to God’s will 
Caught no more in any quagmire 

There’s nothing that we need to do
All’s enabled if heart is still
We feel within bliss beats renew
Nectar flows; we drink to our fill

Feel ye not yet, joy overspill
Enter then the void of silence
All’s enabled if heart is still
Distanced from thought borne violence 

Made in God’s image, love and light
Each heartbeat let’s mindfully till
Dwell in rapture of bliss delight
All’s enabled if heart is still

Reunion

The rain, in sheets, is driven to the ground
to mingle with the rabble down below.
No longer welcome at the table round,
the wind, no friend, encourages it to go.

At first, despairing, scattered far and wide,
it seeks to hide in sorrow on the hill,
But joy, it seems, can never be denied,
as puddles, past their brims soon overspill.

Old friends are reunited in the rush;
their mirthful, bubbling laugh grows ever loud,
cascading over rocks and underbrush,
forgotten, their rejection by the clouds.

At last, they all lie breathless on the lake,
daydream of skyward journeys they’ll soon make.

Thought of the Day

Caress divine surging forth from within ~
Mirrors bliss bubbles bursting on our skin

Seeking nothing, the receptor stands still ~
Savouring nectar that does overspill

Say It Like It Is

Poised in silence, tranquil and watchful, 
with nothing to be done save being still,
enlivened by magnetism beautiful,
we’re fully surrendered to divine will,
imbibing nectar which doth overspill.
Betwixt bliss beats cascading within form,
our presence is swept away in love’s storm,
that unfolds deepening grades of rapture,
enabled by cold heat pleasantly warm,
transmuting in this way, our soul's stature.

Bliss Vivified Stillness

Joy at all times, wish of our heart,
fulfilled when we add love to cart.
Aligned with rapturous bliss chimes,
wish of our heart, joy at all times.

To attain bliss, we must let go,
exhuming cravings of ego.
Recognising God alone is,
we must let go, to attain bliss.

The truth is known, when we are still,
feeling within, bliss overspill,
reclaiming soul’s light, all home grown.
When we are still, the truth is known.

Transcending mind, we vaporise, 
welcoming each offered surprise.
Free from fears and desires that bind,
we vaporise, transcending mind.

(Swap Quatrain)

A Cup Runneth Over

Oh hermit, in staid stillness sit
Transcending every opposite
Imbibing nectar of that bliss
Making consciousness composite

Negate not truth of here, now, this
Desire's a bottomless abyss
So be still and let dark voids fill
Feeling joy, where nothing's amiss

Surrender fully to God's will
Easy then is ascent uphill
Aided by bliss magnetism warm
Behold cup of joy overspill

Womb of life is one giant dorm
Yet contained in mind-body form
Known when we be to so become
One with thunder of this bliss storm

Hark music of the cosmic drum
As waves of bliss, their caress strum
Unbound then is our heart's delight
Far distanced from egoic humdrum

Our aura's luminous and bright
Radiating God's sublime light
Within shines, rainbow in full view
Fragrance of love, by day and night

We're complete, as bliss beats renew
Pristine like the fresh morning dew
We behold then God, face to face
His boundless grace, thus does accrue
