Premium Member In A World of Our Own Making
(“Anagogical Moments Merit Badge”, 2011, original oil) In A World of Our Own Making Everywhere I look I see what I see Through a lens of my own making A composite fly-eye’s view Of everything I have ever seen, Heard, touched, felt and known A world of my own making in constant flux. Everything is thus a filtered projection To a kaleidoscopic mind And...

immediate and intimate is rapture felt when nodes gyrate borne by currents of our senses truth as felt, mind cannot truncate why live out life in past tenses when each moment breath commences ushering with it boons of grace reading through ego’s pretences embrace release; release embrace that origins we may retrace strobes of light that heighten delight gentling touch, slowing down life’s pace vibrant...

Premium Member Undifferentiated perception
When space and time vanish, what then remains, save the light of awareness self-aware and in that pristine state, there are no chains, for we shine as Self, delusion stripped bare, with no agenda we wish to declare. As one without a second, we’re the all, pulsating with delight, in a bliss squall....

Premium Member Limitation of perception
Mind labels in symbols, objects perceived, with each from the other, different deemed. Bemused by illusions, we are deceived, by myriad impressions to us beamed, hypnotised by the forms, which we have dreamed. Freezing flow of time, piercing pores of space, at a stillness point, we see our true face....

Premium Member The virtue of choice
It's conscious. It's deliberate. It's empowering to the extent you decide. Reality is forever up for interpretation ~ Is life ugly or is it beautiful? Your decisions determine your life, drag you down or become uplifting. AP: Honorable Mention 2025...

The picture
Day as fine As the girl I spot. How beautiful she looks, I thought. What is so great? i ask. Is it her skin? Or the contour of her face? The outfit? Nah. Something deep, I realise. Is it Her intangible passion For reading, that's burning Brighter And brighter? Or The glossy images of pages Perched on her sparkly eyes, Holding millions of stories Etching all...

Premium Member Projection
Did you think if we were a projection Transmitted via our displays We were real while our perception Carried us through the years and days On the screen of a thousand faces We did manage to see us, but then Little did we know, that such cases Can occur without any plan We weren’t looking for someone, we were Filling the gaps, posting...

Premium Member God Perception
In my journey across languid life's undulating landscape, the course of the designated track as ordained I don’t lose. The hazards on the way I could circumvent and safely escape, as I walk toward the final destination someone chose. I don’t believe in what is said with dubious authority that the genes control the life's course and the free...

Premium Member Ridding Perception of Self
Let the eye see, through clear, clean lenses Not a wilderness of mirrored reflections, Echoing biases of misconception, But, with true perception, rid of self. The sound I hear from out there, A call of bird, a ring of bell, Is not a story, memory nor a spell. It is improvisation in staccato, syncopation. The taste of a raindrop on the tongue, Is not,...

Boxes
Toxic notions, mixing up potions Bubble and boil, cauldrons toil. The words evade me, They could've made me - by now - but somehow, I forget what the words were I forgot I could speak, I became so weak, inside I was dying, I couldn't stop from crying, I wanted to run and hide. Perfection is just a reflection, An image...

Melancholy
Is it me? Is it real? The feelings that I feel… never seem to match the world around me. What if I’m lost in time, wrapped up in some sublime cosmic poet’s next attempt at melancholy? I don’t ever feel at home, most times would rather be alone. I’m broken, yeah I know cuz I don’t change things. Maybe I’m just out...

The mirrors choice
The Mirror’s Truth I stand in front of the mirror, and it shows me— but not really. The left is right, the right is left, a quiet trick my eyes have always known. I fix my hair, adjust the strands just how I like them. Not for the world—just for me. But when I step away, that version of me stays behind, trapped in glass, while the...

A Drawn Reflection
Is this what was meant for me… The drawn reflection of a man? Each step taken with the lightest touch, So many they tread a new course. At every bend, a choice was made, Drawing circles and channels upon the land. Choices made, lines in sand, The track lies ahead, not behind. I thought I’d rise, reflection true, With head held high, over the...
