The Graveyard Shifts
Her eyes were as beautiful as sighs. Rushed out of the cage when the heart breathed Her lips were softer than a toddler's soul. Her gait—Ah! My wild imaginations. I saw her exactly when the maker saw her. Maker busy watching, and I skipped a beat. The world follows her everywhere. They forgot the Sunrises, rain, and clouds. The only blessing they...

Symmetrical Thought Shifts
Doldrum days, nothing i say make them go on their way. Away with their festering pain, smiting down the mentally sane. Bright burning light in the day bringing the sight to the brave is so close, for life has its many splendors and wonders, and for that we must endure all the thunderclouds and sunder,...

Premium Member When the Veil Shifts
When the veil shifts Space shimmers Manifest reality shifts The vibrational essence Of all that is, becomes clear And with this knowing dawns bliss As a gentle, tingling, toroidal current A deep transcendental peace engulfs us With presence positioned in the Bardo Defying translation and yet we must Drawn to the creative impulse Which though is agendaless Is alive, aglow and vibrant Poised in the void thus 02-November-2022...

Premium Member If Time Shifts Into Reverse
How about if time thinks out of the box Let it be cunning, as sly as a fox Instead of forward, shift into reverse Life might be better, if you're not risk-averse Now just think, in November if instead of December The next month was October and after that, September -- That would be a...

Premium Member Silent Subtle Shifts
as we journey through life through many a turbid storm silence and stillness ushers divine bliss currents warm oscillations gradually dampen as we shift towards the centre these are silent subtle shifts bubbling bliss our heart enters negating nothing embracing this-ness as head melds into our heart vibrant void of silence all pervading fulcrum where bliss ignition starts 15-February 2021...

Love Shifts
Ambiance flourish, Strews cool odour of spring; Feelings swing in inebriation; Dreams too flow, In the drift of bliss; All seem awesome, Feel like life in paradise; Narcissism blinds our eyes, See nothing except green; Veils our mind, Lurks our thoughts; Forget there is always autumn, In the next stage of life; Veins go weak and dry, Wrinkles form in face, Body weakens, heart shrinks; Essence of love...

Subtle Shifts
At times I think,” I wish I would of felt this when I were younger, I would have known! ” Then I remember the “rites of passage” arriving in autumn on the the wing of a ring-neck dove. Weaving light between knowing and unknowing....
