Different CirclesShadows like a life that hides upon
The butterfly effect on the pond—
By young twilight, coming through a shriek,
Nettle of the stillness changed and gone.

Similarly a rippling cause,
The secrets shadow...

MetamorphosisLine of inquiry:
blessings from above
transformed lust to love
delusion to illumination
earth-heaven bilocation
When darkness consumes my lost mind,
I turn to blessings from the blind.
To escape ego's flame of lust,

Those scrimshaw eyes, I’m dizzy with the haze.

Bride and groom are gentle guarding.

Dig deeperWho in truth we are, we know not,
no wonder then, we are fear fraught,
since it's certain we will soon die,
reducing consciousness to naught.
Save in moments when love draws nigh,
we rarely reach bliss rapture's high,
drifting rudderless...

Descent and ascentImmersion and then extraction,
divine grace bestowing traction,
manifests within, a bliss mist,
for soul, a life long attraction.

The Dance of Jealously
Beware, do not learn the dance
of jealousy, do not chance
being fatally impaled
with the tip of your own lance.

Championing freedom and liberty
Lady of courage midst tenacity
Stands along truth while defying deceit
Upheld by the great God of certainty.
Transformed through love’s might from failure’s defeat
Peace-filled lady stays grounded at her feet
Joyously caring, sharing, reaching-out
Showing miraculous...

Heart gentle, Eye mindful
I can offer you sympathy,
try to feel you through empathy.
But if you take it for granted,
silence will be your remedy.
Remember the seeds you planted,
when unnourished will bloom slanted.
Hearts yearn for balanced devotion,
like birds sharing what...
