we each live by
our own version
being but a play
of desire and aversion

we who so seek
a bubble in time
soul in bondage
yearns to upward climb...

Myriad objects
Thoughts included
Appear and disappear
Some attract, others repel
Ol hermit, what do we hold dear?

The poverty

The stigma of poverty is like coal dust.
Cling to us no soap can clean away
We don’t know if we are welcome.
Look into the eyes, do we see aversion?...

To sing an unsung song
Aversion is a great thing
into the winter of our lives
Aquarium blue backs my soul
into the L shaped room
drawing me to Gods care
I quietly surrender...

if our stillness be acceptant
with ego urges decadent
desire and aversion recede
as our will to God we concede
of each pulsation cognisant

one decaying body 
looks at another
lost in trance
birthing
perhaps desire 
or maybe aversion
judgments delusional
oblivious to spirit
indwelling form
the one light
within all

Why do I have an aversion to strings on a banana
Thought to myself while relaxing on my verandah
Kinda weird I'd say
Is it just me feeling this way
Perhaps I should see a psych, well perhaps mañana...

Nothing is so distressing as a sore aching back
Perhaps, a bad cold with a harsh coughing hack
Both can interrupt a long, well-planned excursion
Frankly to both, I have a strong personal aversion.

innate affinity cajoles
desire and aversion
to celebrate life

head-heart discord
creates turbidity
stifling joy

sparkling spontaneity 
childlike innocence 
is our nature

allow love to blossom

retracting from crassness
in order to protect our soul
although aversion manifests
we accept detractor’s  ordained role

the ones who betray love
we notice they inwardly die
caused by delusion of course 
in time all souls will wingless fly...

ESCAPE

break away from
the tableau that holds me
triggered by impulses that blind
more than usual corruptible beasts
clicking rosaries with their claws
impulse slowly subsides
aversion to

ESCAPE

attention fixated in quanta of time
each packet a hypnotic trance
gluey friction inbuilt in duality
it's been fun but we're done

or so we imagine
as a subtle desire
mirroring aversion
signalling bondage

the rabbit hole goes in deep

Molly had a chat with Bert,
Stating that she had an aversion to bottles that squirt,
She preferred her sauces in glass bottles,
The plastic monstrosities she'd like to throttle,
As she said this, she gave a squirt,
Squirting tomato sauce all over Bert's shirt...

Spotting desire, in as an urge
Mirroring aversion
Manifesting energy surge
Karma retribution 

Reborn time and again
Heart carrying lust stain
Ego borne bondage chain

Raging fire
Spotting desire

Negate desire and aversion
Down to subtlest level
Unbroken be contemplation 
Cognition spherical 

Unfettered awareness 
Vibrant in emptiness 
Love aligned consciousness 

Let’s climb higher 
Negate desire

Poisoned pawn, desire-aversion
Observe mind oscillate
Worthy lama, chose cessation
In tranquil calm sedate

God beckons, go in now
Fragrance of love follow
Vibrant, joyous, mellow

Lust we spawn
Poisoned pawn

Fading light; our joy throbs lessen
Aversion contracts heart
Love alone makes our soul glisten
To so be, simply start

Hermit, be vigilant
Of each thought, cognisant
Make ego decadent

Heart contrite 
Fading light

The cold, throbbing lump
Pulsing in my gut
Pulling me back
I wish I had control
Rather than this terror
I wish I had assurance
For my own trembling hands
What courage I muster
In the face of aversion
I give up to my own nightmare
For what comfort i have
Has all but left....
