Contracting and expanding.

In fluidic four-four time;
Black stallion racing the wind.

contracting thought forms spiralling
strange habit this, trauma bonding
whilst choosing void of cessation
tranquil calm ushers elation
exiting ego spawned craving

Cathie refers to you sweeties as Jack's ladies
But she should definitely include all me mateys
Also love youse guys
Right up to the skies
Sure a lot better than contracting rabies

concealing and revealing
contracting and expanding
the pulse of life renews
game of hide and seek
the joy of union
anguish of separation
which nonchalance views
as unending celebration
element of surprise
each breath’s prize

Shrouded in imaginary fear
Consciousness contracting
Illusionary demons sear
In dark shadows cowering
Cause being our attachment
To that that is impermanent
Self blocking bliss contentment
Stagnating in gluey sediment

an event precipitates
all options seem to lose
in as contracting heart’s joy
as yet immersed in the transient
our soul rests in the vibrant void
witnessing the ebb and flow
nonchalant to outcomes
for life is but a dream

Energies
Boundless and contracting..
Apparently most of us
Live the contracting
Fearing the Boundless:
The energy we Are..
The contracted matrix
Brings pleasures..coupled
With a nagging pull..
The pull is the Boundless
Call from Home...

it's not a decision.
it's a happening.
it's like contracting fever.
you don't decide that you want to have fever.
it just happens to you.
just let it be.
i have silently decided thing.
so i accepted silently and i felt good.
as i think you felt it too.
layag sug!

Ballad
Picture perfect, hollow inside
As contracting fears heart deride
Our trauma bonding with ego
Aspect clinging, loathe to forgo
Oscillating thus, side to side

soft murmurs of the heart concealed
allowed not the soul to be healed
contracting its heart day by day
yet displaying persona steeled
bleeding hearts see blue skies as grey
sit beside them, for a while stay
offer a healing transmission
touch of love, warmth of a sun ray

a heart contracting thought arises
we know it should not but it does
it is delusion of course, we know
because we know truth of Self
yet we are anchored in form
did not Jesus too cry out
when he was crucified
our anguish is lesser
yet it does exist
so we weep
and pray
for light

Gentle rain shower looking beautiful
until the roof starts leaking
Egoic indulgence hardly seem harmful
until we feel ourselves contracting
We first build up the momentum
and then upon realising seek undoing
The sway of the pendulum
takes time in again quietening

When it comes to your happiness,
Debt is a terrible thing.
To owe and not be capable of paying
Creates a terrible heaviness in the heart.
It is wonderful to have the things you want,
But not at the expense of contracting
Excessive fear.
Being in debt is worse than artichokes o pizza.

Blank verse
As contracting fearful thoughts creep in
we look at the ego urgings
with astonishment being of foreign origin
illusionary images spewing
Thought forms that we allow admittance
signal correspondent affinity
for porous emptiness of joyous innocence
throbs with bliss in continuity

sinful acts committing
shallow desires feeding
stupor bliss throb stifling
seeds ego spawned spewing
soiled thoughts heart contracting
stance needing correcting
soul requiring cleansing

our fickle desire
pursuing shifting goalposts
cause of suffering
fear mirrors desire
contracting our consciousness
cause of delusion
detached nonchalance
aspect embrace-hold-release
vibrant emptiness
when head melds with heart
bliss continuum ingrained
in both form and void

Eloquent in nature
Unique in design
Mother Nature working in a mysterious way
Father Time helping her along
No existing data, unable to define
expanding or contracting no confirmation declared
Inclusive in evidence
Possibly alpha and omega
Unimaginable size
Searching for answers
On the universe.s design.

gollible Green gulping
rustic rays reeling
salient south smirking
purpled eyes pouting
dismembered rays dancing
callous contractions cupping
fallible fate fostering
per rays contracting
into green garlic
raped red remonstrating
fetish finger pointing
la-de-da luck lurching
though twain be!
One's is our tree!

Selling uranium to Putin through CFIUS
Made less social sense than contracting syphilis
Unless to grow a Global reset chrysalis
Aiding American transformation abyss.
Putin may well employ Wyoming yellow cake
To cower Europeans with nuclear bake
Candled with cancerous cumulus mushroom clouds,
Granting his covering Ukraine with a death shroud.

Specters of the night,
Come in the shadows to creep
Across my walls, hovering
In empty black air;
How they terrorize my nights;
Expanding, contracting spooks…
Shape shifting ghouls who,
Contort as if they appear,
In wavy fun house mirrors.
I must put a stop,
To their vile and twisted dance;
I must avoid watching news!

arrival of the penultimate season...
falling toward the end of the year
cool breezes purge the sultry sloth
amber/auburn/crimson leaves dance in the wind
fall foliage signals the end of a cycle
contracting days declare enveloping emptiness
expanding awareness of our infinite finitude
...a symphony of poignant silence

Intricate patterns, exotic flowers
curl into royal insignias
cultured eyes can devour
A cornucopia of colours
Like a peacock's feathers on display
expanding and contracting
those myriad Eyes ~
Visual accordions at play
All this and more
covers the floor
of my living room
Please don't step on the rug
~ and a peacock deplume

“Mind the Frankenstein, which we have raised
Free in inner silence; lord be praised”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rise of desire
Thirst insatiable
Seeking fulfilment
Death the quietus
Until our rebirth
The fall of love
Contracting us
Dreamy stupor
Dead man walking
Hypnotic
Delusion
Envelopes
We die
Before
Death
