to unwilling receptors
pauses in the bardo

and so it waits
for eternity if needed

time yields to love

in the head ovoid
with steadfast resolve
what would we do without it

heart, third eye and crown

with spontaneity

by becoming the flame
resplendent with light...

Moments before lower mind drifts into sleep, 
awareness self-aware, in the vast bardo,
sans identity, as pristine soul presence,
woos the universe to infuse magnetism
within our childlike heart, yearning for God’s touch....

heated palms, magnetised feet
a gentle breeze arises within
polarities meet and greet
causing bliss ignition to begin

vibrant presence centred in the void 
surfs the bardo of the manifest 
pristinity of luminous Self unalloyed
treads mindfully like a gracious guest...

deeming as intermediate
every offering imbibed
we remain a humble receptor 
to magnetism as it heightens
within this organic form 

humility makes us silent
yet the silence reverberates
with the cosmic hum sublime
so as we so surf the bardo
we willingly burn in body urn...

She was very young when she was shot by Robert John Bardo.
She starred in 'One Life To Live' and 'My Sister Sam' over 30 years ago.

Slipping into the bardo whilst awake,
attention softened, simply looking on,
free from thought clutter, thus nothing at stake, 
fragrance of sandalwood, the mist we don,
soothing, humming magnetism ushers dawn.
As rainbow’s hues are refracted in form,
soul remains poised, centred in love’s bliss storm....

sexy couple shooting pool
what was that covetousness rule?
when am i going to get over this?
in the back of my mind, memories of bliss
keep me looking, well attached
until this longing body is dispatched
to the dustheap, while this mind
propelled into bardo, still looking behind
at all the ties that bind......

As the pulse of bliss,
enlivens feeble form,
accustomed to the caress,
do we not begin anticipating,
delight in offered surprise,
being a refrain that renews,
as the light of our true Self,
reverberating within the body,
wherein we as both this and that,
are poised in the bardo,
in a continuum of stillness?...

I take two long seconds
to watch my breath rattle
the snow

brittle and sweet. I don't want
to leave and I am so scared
of losing. the kettle sings

and we turn the pages.
even in despair, you burn
and I can't imagine you ever

dying. we laugh through the
cold, blood pounding steps.
god, please let me keep this....

centred presence
dissolves identity 
that that remains
sans any residue
awareness pristine
celebrates aliveness 
renews bliss pulse
in joyous innocence 
moment to moment
by hold and release
just like the breath
rotating polarities 
without resistance 
flowing unfettered
divine entwined 
in the bardo of love

when the eye is single 
all there is, is light
then differentiated perception
manifests play of illusions

time and space make possible
surfing the bardo
where betwixt dance of polarities 
toroidal heart imbibes love

beyond duality and non-duality
everything everywhere all at once 
we descend and ascend 
as we choose with vibrance...
