Behind The Veil

Like a thief in the night 
academia
wears enlightenment
as a mask
hiding its true agenda
— a stranglehold on the truth

behind the veil
you never answered back
tears still calling
or praying to forget

Premium Member Sacred Revelation

An infinite caress, feeds Etheric senses; rocks soul to sleep.

Behind the veil, divinity resides; the Source of all things.

Akashic secrets, locked away; revealed by Metatron’s cube.

Beauty

Behind the veil of beauty, 
reside darkness
waiting like lover
peering through the windows,
counting the ticking of clock 
cometh the hour,
transported from illusion 
to grotesque,
all beauty decay.


The River

Within the raging river I was consumed;
In fear I thrashed – with eyes closed there was only darkness.

Then, I was awakened and behind the veil I could not hide –
I have crossed over to the other side.

Premium Member Be to become

Having been, seen and so known, we became
Light that lights all lights, from behind the veil
With bliss transcendental our claim to fame
Sipped soma nectar from the holy grail
Give it any name but we’re not the same

a creative impulse
on the spur 
  of the moment
with
spontaneous  
drops
to
distil 
as
a painting with words 

 an invitation 
  to stroll within

 share &participate
with 
  another’s mind.

To One I Love

hidden
behind the veil
still waiting to be seen
glimpses of beauty reserved for
one ... me

Poetry

spiritual is the realm of poetry,
                  spirit rules behind the veil,
                     great spirit one God emotes to ye,
                       put it out it's yours don't fail.

Muted Witnesses

What if our dogs could talk aloud?
What do you suppose they'd speak about?
Rabbits, birds, chasing things?
What if they thought to tell our tales?
Stories hidden, behind the veil.
Secrets, scandals, Everything!

Behind the Veil

Hiding in the middle class,
I made my way through life

Looking like I had it made,
no struggle and no strife

Others couldn’t see it,
as it metastasized inside

A terminal metamorphosis
—hidden from your eyes

Behind the Veil of Smiles

Veiled smiles conceal a multitude of unseen woes~
inner turmoil, tear-stained cheeks,     and layers of distress all masquerade behind a mask of joy.

However, gleaming eyes, gilded and glistening, 
expose the truth that heartache’s hurricanes can not contain.

Chalice

I bow my head Remove my hat And say with reverence that There’s more to this Moment of bliss than meets the I Behind the veil The Holy Grail Awaits The touch of your lips So take a sip Of sacred wine And hang thy sorrow Upon the vine.

Paulette-2

There was a voice behind the veil;
With closed lips and shouting eyes:
She had a message to say.
There was a voice behind the veil;
Her courage couldn't get a way,
But her heart now beats to rebel:
There was a voice behind the veil;
With closed lips and shouting eyes!

Behind the Veil

Unknown to us are what we see, 
Each day brings a door before us,
To unlock, with its unique key,
Unknown to us are what we see,
We face It headlong or we flee,
Amassing the superfluous,
Unknown to us are what we see,
Each day brings a door before us.

Behind the Veil

Behind the veil. 

      Behind the transparency of blue
      I reminise of love past and lost
      Oh, how I loved you so.

      Behind The veil.

      How my heart over flows
      from this cup of passion
      and compassion for you.
      Never to be experienced..

      Beyond The Veil.

What’s at stake, as this dream unfolds Observe each thought ripple From behind the veil, soul beholds The complex made simple Distanced from ego’s lies Feel bliss magnetism rise As life’s offered surprise Fear forsake What’s at stake 05-April-2022 Quietus

Behind the Vanishing Veil

Behind The Vanishing Veil


Trapped in a saprophytic shell where dying demons dwell
All you see is the better me behind the veil of the Judas tree
A neuronic nomad sailing the seas of the sequestered sad.

Cosmic Detail

Not one pursuit but led to disappointment
The system was designed to fail

Corrupted judge has tendered resignation
The horror lurked behind the veil

Another's cruelty fueled his vindication
The true believer's cause for pain

Described to him in full blown cosmic detail
The dronings of a world insane

Behind the Veil

Much of the time we’re faking it,
the airs we put on most false

Impressions made and set in jade,
green onions the main course

Our friends change out with stature,
as silver turns to gold

An alchemist’s dream, the grandest scheme
—our hearts once warm left cold

Glorious streams of mist take flight
                                            Behind the veil of morning light,
                                            Serenading a sky of blue
                                            A seductive rendezvous;
                                            Droplets spiraling out of sight.

Space flickers revealing what lies behind
Soft white light luminous
In parallel, we’re gripped in bliss throbs bind
Soma flow continuous
Magic of grace fortuitous 

The plot thickens as our third eye glistens
Crown and heart join the dance
Pulse of magnetic love beats quickens
Mingled with sublime fragrance 
With God, remains no distance

Echo of the Morning Sun

Echo of the Morning Sun($)
Behind the whispers golden,
Where rainbows  get their light,
The echo gave it's whispers
In the  constructed lies.
The voice behind the veil
Spoke mysteries of light.
Like mystery of the female
Soon all the lies collapsed.
Confused by my illusion,
I heard the echo cry,
Like gentle voice of angels
Serenaded me till  the night..

Healing Flesh

Do not see me as I am

  Or you'll be disappointed

See instead my wall of flesh
 
  Dismembered and disjointed


I'll make sure the bones will mend
 
  And never show their age

Rest inside my warmest thoughts

  Of quiet tempered rage


Discover endless reasons why
 
  The flesh will always fail

Embodiments of truer cause

  Could look behind the veil
