never lose your pride

everyone sometime in their life
 may need a helping hand
if you fall from carrying a load
someone to help them stand
no matter if your a boy or a girl
or if your big or small,
never be too big then you are 
to ask for help at all,
if you feel down and feel real sad
no matter what it

Premium MemberSelf Made Heartache

My heart no longer beats as it did before 
With each thump there’s a rattle you now hear
You wonder at first then you realize 
The look in my eyes makes the reason clear

It’s from the pieces of my broken heart 
That were just to far beyond any repair
The only one that I can blame for

Ditto

hiding in sight
with nothing inside
filling the nothing
with whatever I find

sense your dislikes
discover your tells
deforming myself
against your invisible will

slipping defenses
uncovers the key
allowing a following
re-entry

as inevitability
breaks the spell
leaving one locked door
and a broken shell

Premium MemberWhen You Believe In Yourself

When you believe in yourself you can't lose
No approval needed to do as you choose
If they don't like it thats fine because you do
Whatever you do is not necessarily for their view
You don't perform actions to get their attention  
Be your own fan with no need to be mentioned 
The highest rank ever reached

Tears of the Dragon

I stood on the crag where the sea breathed fire,
its winds tearing at the very shape of my name.
The sky was a shattered mirror
each splinter a memory I had tried to leave high and dry,
but still they cut as they fell through me.

In the distance, the dragon turned its head.
Its eyes held storms I had

Premium MemberClear sight

Depending upon words as symbols employed,
we may label the absolute Self as God,
the substratum of existence unalloyed,
recognised in staid silence when heart has thawed,
that pristine presence, no longer by thoughts toyed,
dissolves all opposites, giving love our nod.
Everything that exists, is but God’s heartbeat,
mirrored as bliss heat that makes us feel complete.

In meditation space and time

In the Wake of Transformation

Affirmed & Perfect
I looked at my reflect, 
Green T-shirt paired with black pants, 
Hopes of bright future surged ahead. 

I waited long, till a van came, 
Reached late when class had already commenced, 
Nervous and unknown in that herd, 
I thought, 
Someone would know the Aditi I left. 

With each passing day, 
I, too, failed

Finding Myself


All day
I have been 
searching
for myself.
And there I was,
unobtrusive,
watching on,
keeping quiet
under a loud
chatter of thoughts.
I quite often
get lost.

Premium MemberZen mode

transmitting back to Self, strobes of contrast 
in descent and ascent through vibrations 
looking neither ahead nor in the past
we embrace and release all sensations
trusting what is, with no expectations 
that thus with bilocation as the key
unshackled from ego we’re always free

Premium MemberEmbrace the future

day by day and brick by brick
we're building the foundation
of the person we want to be

who knows what lies around the corner
or who we'll meet upon our path

we hope to be ready in our hearts
and be the person we're proud to be
to make the most of each new opportunity
