Short Cognisance Poems

WISDOM

When I was young my folly knew no bounds.
It has been said the border has extended.
Still, I confess my ignorance compounds
Delusion: thus I plead has been amended
On  premise of cognisance of my flaws
May I claim a touch of WISDOM as knowing cause

That that is within, veiled by gross matter.
Gaps of purity, here and there, windows,
allowing glimpses divine light scatters.
Cognisance of soma nectar that flows,
taking us in deep from earthy shallows.
The light divine burrows from inside out,
erasing ego blockages that do grout,
anchoring attention in stagnation,
as captive to habits, we go about.
Feel, oh hermit, throb of bliss ignition!

Only by accident you 
will find life in 
the dead elephant.

We start soul-searching 
to uncover, 
the hidden path to- 
landlocked sea of poachers 
of ivory truth.

Infant cries, sleeping 
in grass, wait for the 
blossoms of spring. 
Like a panther 
a red cloud descends 
to kill the moving, play 
without pain.

The nightfall,
when you will discover 
yourself in grief 
and wait for the sun.

Slow,
steady,
osmotic
percolation
of divine nectar,
felt within us purring:
heightened delight renewal,
gripping us in blissful rapture;
teasing, lingering, loving caress,
suffused thus with the elixir replete.

Cognisance of bliss throb felt in silence,
upon resting thoughts that agitate;
open heart embracing the joy,
without ego resistance.
Doing nothing, we yet
feel the shift within.
Form magnetised,
vibrant love
thus fills
us.
