poised in the void without anticipation 
imbibing bliss sensations that come our way
quiet attentiveness our meditation 
we resist not magnetism that makes us sway
like a branch on a tree in form’s play station
as boons divine sublime that are here to stay
so there’s nothing to do as bliss beats renew
bringing us elixir of fresh morning dew

Premium Member A Spring To Summer Romance

he was not my type
but by the time it was spring
i wore that man's ring

once he wore me down
i flowered in the garden
of his sweet attentiveness
but began to droop
in the absence of his care. . . . 
July’s drought was hard to bear

that ring he gave me -
cheap like his lackluster love -
broke in mid-august

Premium Member The Dad Mantra

Nobody said life was going to be fair,
is the mantra of many a Dad;
But that’s no excuse to bully your child
just because your day was bad.

Divorce yourself from the outside world
when you walk into your home;
Your children deserve your attentiveness
untethered from the mobile phone.

Show your children you are interested in them
and that you really care,
This may not be easy, but, after all,
nobody said life was going to be fair.

Butterfly Child

Breeze is gentle over a path dappled in sunshine
as child runs around the garden no sense of mischief
chases a butterfly flitting by capricious as the wind.

Now she stands very quiet and still,
as if caught in the split second of a near-trance, 
butterfly ceases its flight to perch on her nose.

Child and butterfly - alike in a separate attentiveness,
balanced and held in equilibrium by a nip of nature,
an eternity snatched in a rare and precious moment.

What's Your Name

So beautiful you are
The sun has become jealous of your rays
No rivals for the ultimate victor
Men who approach, are instantly entranced in a daze

You are the light at the end of the tunnel 
Blessing is your current perfume 
Long hair blows without a single care 
Often the most tantalizing being in the room

Supple lips sit seductively below your nose 
Unreal conversations challenging my attentiveness
I am slowly falling for you
Loading up to take my shot, praying I don't miss
