Thought polarities as doer and resonator
Pulsate within our mind-body combine
In truth, free will enables us as co-creator
Blessed with this recognition, with truth align
Our innermost thought patterns cognised
Our witness stance, chooses vibrations divine
In the void of no-thingness, ego is vaporised
Signalling relinquishment of attachment
Thoughts distilled, nothing judged or sized
Our relaxed attention, flowing in contentment
Cognition beyond perception or non-perception
As a bliss mist, nestled in our native element
This time stretched stillness as our orientation
Empty mind-body vessel is devoid of desire
Agendaless exuberance vibrancy of meditation
Love transmuted thoughts, has aura all afire
Bliss engulfs form, for which soul does aspire

This heart has new meaning
To the days and nights of harrowing loneliness
The waiting of relinquishment so forgiving to profess
The falling into your arms to find its caress lay dreaming
I found you where the diminished sunlight pervades
As our lives waned with the grace of age and wisdom
Gentle was the light that melts our hearts as one
Enlightening the path of our love as our horizon fades
So now we have enfolded the ardent home
Where trusted hearts and fearless vision
Of our souls exposed in their division
Embrace each other in our love laden poem
Never to be alone

"These Arms Long To Hold You"

Beautiful soul, an embellishment and relinquishment of life as a ring.
Beauty radiates its light of rays through daily and nightly shine.
Beguiling others with splendor to humanity making all hearts sing.
Begging to be seen by the luminous glow, each claiming thee as, “mine”.
Depth of the details, exquisitely given for eyes to appreciate.
Delicacy externally gleaming like luminaires in the night.
Daring like a game of chess, enduring the victorious checkmate.
Demanding a moment in time to share love with all its might.
Tenacious glow, gives away the feeling of placidity.
Tender hearts, receive the elation of kindness.
Torturous souls enthralled acquiring the power of vivacity.
Turmoil turned to calm with the ability of acquiring joyful madness.
Beautiful soul, an embellishment and relinquishment of life as a ring.
Beauty radiates its light of rays through daily and nightly shine.
When the noise makes sense
and the malediction feels like a blessing;
the hunger turns into a fullness
as the defloration becomes efflorescence.
Only then will I know...
That relinquishment is just another offering,
that falling is just going upward;
the opposite is the way ahead to the straightforward.
Only then will I know,
by the true learning of loving you,
who I am.
Staring and comparing I find
condemnation in my purse-
No feeling inside healing as my
relinquishment gets worse.
Feed me, need me
hug me then tug me-
Allow me to free thee
as I end up last.
Love me, shove me
just don’t land above me-
Allow my decree to see thee
as I forget my awful past.
Lower than low as my conscience can’t
remember-
I forget that I know this nonsense
makes life no better.
I’m a wreck on the ground with no
sanity around-
I’m a speck that can’t be found,
as I have become homebound.
Brick by brick I fell and stumbled,
trick by trick my story crumbled-
Tucked and safe I find no mortality
stuck and faced with a death of totality.
Staring and comparing I find condemnation
in my mind-
Not seeing or believing…
a detached combination I find.
Lyrics III - Dream Theater - Poetry Contest

Brazenly stared within the
irony of irrational horizons,
shadows colorlessly implanted on
an oasis of silent sand dunes - -
no footprints were visible in her wake,
tidal waves lilted in roaring disobedience
kinking temperaments' permanence,
reflective intimation no longer visible
beyond mirrors cruel unimportance
blindfolded in a peculiar fashion,
realities' ghostly animated particles
toppled under relevant significance
to the depths of modified senescence,
releasing disembodied spirit held its own
midst lofty persuasion's undulations,
nullified 'tween composition's banality
somewhere mid fantasy & ascertained ashes,
descent upon apparent illogicalness transpired as
transcendent lucidity mocked hazed transparency,
naked truths became clearer as they blurred into
ludicrous relinquishment 'tween rebellious renditions,
whilst flimsy breaths reprised figment's fanciful betrayal
Leaving the regrets of tomorrow's yesterday's
Extracting old lessons learned along the way
Transition released from abjurational goodbyes
Teaching others how death can open our eyes
Internal remorse was gathered and thrown out
Never looking back without a single doubt
Growing pains attained and used for good
Giving up on sadness I never thought I could
Opening my eyes and no longer misunderstood
My abandonment was created from my insecurity
oh my, how her death has changed my perspective,
now I start fresh, living a life simple and free,
my relinquishment is a blessing in retrospective.
disposal of shame
surrender of worthless guilt
bright future ahead

The pains of the broken hearted souls cry out
Their sobbing voices ring with joy
Their fragile bodies shout Your name
This is the church in action
The beginning of salvation grace is found
In the relinquishment of selfish pride
And the reliance of the Saviour’s Cross
This is the church’s message
The song of the distressed is great
In those who bear the LORD’s name
For they hold the hope that flows from His hands
This is the church’s worship
The nail pierced hands upon the reddened cross
Find their timed reflection in us
When we are willing to let Him act
This is the church’s identity
This is the pain we carry
Though burden light it is
This is the life we live
In Him our joy is made complete
This is the God we serve
Our brilliant high priest
Who takes those weak in spirit
And uses them for his glory
To accomplish his will
....The noise of nothingness stood....The soul relinquished to...Changing leaves
filling the minds eye....Trees reaching out an at one another...Harmony captured
in the distance,fading....Silence deep..Within journeys...whisphers in a
rush...swirlings of colors of beauty as seen in a dream..perfections place...Time
washed in the waters undemised...Heart of a razor tipped rage....Tears shattered
upon shadows..Within the works of aweness....flashes of insperation ingnite
thoughts of action to be excuted...Drawn back to the sernity of the walking
waters...Sweet colors faded around one another;painting an epic of time and
tradegy of beauty and strife....surpadding of words--aweness within every
breath....the soul is touched...Nothingness....nothingness....more enclasped than
what was expected....relinquishment of a warrior....
A slip to wish
A solemn note
A secret code
A robin's egg
A final word
A slice of sky
A turning point
A breath to beg
A day to grow
A falling tree
A photograph
of you and me
A silver streak
A floating laugh
A broken vow
on my behalf
A tourniquet
A purple moon
A glassy eye
A week in June
A passing thought
A last good bye
A slip to wish
A final sigh.
