The artistry of the dogmatic
Lies upon the breaths that are bated
Unwanted sarcasm tossed
Though often musters hostility

And the branches arc
With each split decision
Affirms the logic
Behind each laceration...

The present once noted,
is really the past

A thirtieth of a second,
perception if fast

Most people are slower,
 the flash that accepts

What our psyche affirms
—now gone and reset

Along comes a flood
Divine sublime stream 
Bliss nectar flowing
Enlivening nodes
Within mind-body

Current subtle
God’s miracle
At play here now
For pure of heart

Soul affirms
It’s ready
To ascend

Become
With God

an old adage affirms, ‘I Am That’
perhaps a clarification is needed
‘I Am That and That is not in mind’

So drop thought, ego begot
Abiding in absolute silence
That false identity drops
Revealing eternal truth

Recognition is the key

recognising our default orientation as trance
purity of silence too scarred by thought spirals
our presence neither immanent nor transcendent 
yet deludedly affirms meaningful dwelling in darkness
akin to the irony highlighted in Plato’s allegory of the cave ...

sky predicts all things
re-affirms approaching light~
reader of the stars

wise owl perceives much
velvet visions manifest~
sees in crystal ball

woman of your dreams
royal regal demeanor~
a princess no doubt

someone just like me
your fantasy real enough~
steps into your life...

Vibratory force affirms my soul
Harmonizing with dynamic goal

Disconnect from willful despair
Self healing in the soil of repair

Conscious calm saturates conviction
Explosions bomb all negative affliction

Attuned to chants of eternal meaning
Emerge cultivated with cosmic healing

emotions , open our senses madly

to feel , EXTERNAL , all to gladly

only to discover breakdowns , sadly

conventional truths can mislead us badly

decisions are made , unlearn to relearn

to feel , INTERNAL , our soul yearns

hunger replenished , aptly affirms

ultimate truth , our ETERNAL flame burns ....

the light leads us to the door
footprint leak with road
secret of our language mutes
not asking our pain

if we explained our color
cold face fades
about our one-shoot
overhelm our hands
nobody knows we mean by

what they says
we will our respond
we shed our range full

quest lasts until you die
this is life
affirms the negatives...

ATHENA

      Appears a deity.   
      Asserting intellect.
      Affirms truth and knowledge.
       And strong morality.
      Always offers wisdom.
       Also accomplishments.
       Athena Greek Goddess.

Iambic Pentameter
To feel the rain on my up lifted face 
The pleasant coolness wetting both lips, cheeks
Now wetting all crops, saved as by God’s grace
And roaring thunder seems the way God speaks
Affirms rich blessing upon my plot’s place
It’s summer rain after hot searing weeks
Head low, thank you God richly blessing me
Soon wife, with harvest we will be debt free...

Desire for applause
soon becomes the cause
of needless bondage,
affirms this adage.

Poets forge from fire,
with the void conspire,
to emote a rhythm,
of words in a prism.

Ego does upstage,
seeking centre-stage,
making a circus
of poem's purpose.

Let the music play
by night and by day,
for we have let go,
seeking no echo.

Prayer* can solve our problems
While we take God’s grace-emblems
Trusting Him with faith’s fervor
Begging His mercy’s savor.

Talking to the Lord is great
In sweet relationship’s rate
Claiming His promised bounty
Affirms His Word’s guaranty.

*Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

How it mocks your mind to think
a thing your faith affirms as tenet.
You tussle with the doctrinal ink:
was there an inaugural minute?

"Always existed," can that be right?
The thought swevels all your senses.
Saints with you do mull and marvel
trapped in past and present tenses.

The picture will clear on a day hence
when puzzles will be pieced complete.
They will make heaven-sent sense
as in tears we kneel at Jesus' feet....

"Let it so move you,
As it so do
Music moves settles you;

As inviting, gentle and kind, kindly
So it moves it so do 
Music moves

Rhythm drums beats
Awesome music comes
Affirms joy, peace into everyone


As inviting, gentle and kind, kindly
So it moves it so do 
Music moves


Let it so move you,
As it so do
Music moves settles you;

It’s fun to perform,
Being up on a stage,
To see if the audience
You might engage.

To banter your dialogue,
Belt out your song
And hope that you’ve carried
The watchers along.

To soak up their smiles
And hear their applause
Affirms you’ve succeeded,
Despite a few flaws.

For just a short time,
All that limelight is yours.
Your spirits are dancing;
Your confidence soars.

You wrap up those feelings
Like some gorgeous gift,
To open and savor
When you need a lift....
