Tat Tvam Asi - That Thou Artwhen identity recedes
heart lotus blooms and love leads
bliss pheromones then mingle
making our soul’s eye single
in time we become the flame
whence we’re no longer the same
and in time the ego dies
paving way for truth’s sunrise
the world fades, we alone are
shining like yonder North Star,
formless presence, living light
lustre pure and bright snow white
Self vibrates...

Belle
Faintly the church bell tolls
On the hour, faintly she sighs
She cries out to the Lord
About the how's and whys
She's a women
(Some say she is scorned)
Most don't see the women I see
A lover with love she's adorned
She can smile in the sun
And hide in the moon
But when she has a sad
I feel our hearts rhythm...

Self-imprisonedIn this abyss, where senses fade,
A labyrinth of fears, eyes stick to spade
A choice self-made, a soul betrayed,
In pale moonlight, a tearful price is paid
Man without a shrine, longing for time,
A barren altar, with no falter, heart in chains,
Death’s embrace, leaves no trace,
Echoes remain, whispering in pain.
Silence.
No more pain.
In bleakest dreams, her face indiscernibly...

What Are The Prerequisites Of Self Education
I burn the midnight air with questions,
Thin syllables crack like bones in the dark.
No teacher waits behind the door—
Only the echo of my own demand.
A hunger sharper than teeth,
A solitude that bruises the ribs,
The patience to swallow dust and ashes,
To peel silence back until it bleeds.
Books are stone fruits, bitter in the mouth,
I crush them...

The poems I should've never had to writeThe poems that weep with grief
The one that bleeds a sadness unnoticed
The ones that grieve the erasure of colour
I wish I didn't have to write poems
To convince you of our pain
The one that stains every word on every page
The ones that can't bleed out of existence
The ones that break and...

Power of knowledgeAnimals may live in bliss,
yet as such it is remiss
on our part not to explore,
the way to God through heart’s door.
Since mind has limitation,
peace as our meditation,
positions us in the void,
where we’re not by thoughts decoyed.
In time stretched calm, ego’s shorn,
whereupon we’re reborn,
feeling bliss ignition start,
deep in the cave of our heart.
As we come into...

Zen modealong our spine we feel cool heat
mirroring the frontal lobes
essence of presence is upbeat
light of Self glistening in white robes
we are awake and yet in trance
in our form bliss mists patrol
nodes within in joy prance
we are still, God is in control...

Spiritual Wi-FiThey called it stone.
We called it signal.
The Great Pyramid—
not a tomb,
but a beacon,
wired into the pulse of the cosmos.
It stands at Portal 1313,
its apex aligned with the 13th galaxy beyond Andromeda,
where star councils whisper in light.
Its limestone breathes geometry.
Its shadow measures eternity.
Our pineal gland,
once unclouded,
was the antenna—
we spoke to Sirius,
we dreamed with Orion,
we danced across...

Caveman SpeakingYou ask me why I live in cave
Caveman not want to be a slave
I take a chance and look around
I see that people act like clown
Your little ones you not take care
You always running here and there
You drop them off at crazy school
No discipline when they break rule
They spend their time in front of screen
You...

Little MirrorsReflection catches
My guilt .
I lose the trust
In whatever , God, I pray too.
I need a release ,
I need to take the seat
I need to Stare back at Me.
Eyes opening a grave.
Don't won't to Be IN THE WAY.
I'm red, in chains
Im Covered ,
In dirt
Unburied Me slowly.
I'm...

Decrypting the codeThe highest truth is God unmanifest,
one without a second, outside space-time,
resplendent in pristine glory undressed,
renews Himself in Himself as heart’s chime.
As subjective awareness all alone,
energy absolute held in Himself,
vibrant and blissful, occupies His throne,
existing thus as the absolute Self.
A playful intent in heart arises,
to behold His splendour in a mirror,
shape shifting reflection that surprises,
each appearance...

Desire driven ascentOur identity within existence,
which reworded, simply means the ego,
pursues narrow goals, which is resistance,
to attachments we are loathe to let go
and therefore truth of Self we do not know.
Such a seeker ascends in vibration,
domain hopping across God’s creation.
Siddhis or powers imbibed and displayed,
keep such a seeker distanced from the source,
shifting roles, in different domains played,
until...

I’m Christopher Columbus, exploring my mind, because no one else has
I’m precise, when rambling on, towards the point
I’m simple, while being extremely complicated
I’m intelligent, but capable of absolute stupidity
I’m a stick of rock, with the message of fairness
I’m focus so deep, that sometimes I’m not physically there
I’m infinite beginnings, with much fewer...

I met my younger self today
He insisted it was at the pub
He needed to be comfy and had much to say
I declined his offer of a pint
Declaring I’m good with the water, thanks anyway
He insisted, come on have a beer, it’s what we do
I told him, one day he will know, he...

As I Slam Arthritic Hands Into A Broken Keyboard, Nobody Can Hear Me ScreamingIn a rather egotistical
and pathetic attempt
to immortalize myself,
in something I lost,
everything.
And now that I’ve burned
all of my bridges and I’m drowning,
the only thing I have left
to do is work.
And it's not working.
And the only ones
praising my work
are little kids,
the same age I was
when I broke everything.
Lucky me.
I watch them do
the same foolish things,
reaching for...
