imposed by the external
create a contraction ripple
in time stretched peace internal

if yes, we thank the universe and learn
if not, drenched by bliss mists, we burn...

Skewed consciousness 
Vacillating attention
Stuporous awareness
Enmeshed in stagnation 

Divine entwined expansion 
Synced to conscience’s voice
Or ego enmeshed contraction 
Two paths: Our life our choice...

A Negative Reacton
A Negative Reacton

To many politicians have negative reaction,
And away from them their is a contraction;
Many obstacles involved
Did need to be dissolved,
Caused and created by a big compaction.

Sultry Haiku
Slowly quench yourself 
When you sip from my nectar
Drenched sweat and scent drips
Muscles stiffen erector
Gently taste my lips
As you search for the sector
Bliss connecting hips
Contraction of the pector
Fiercely horde the dips
Enmeshed musky trifecta...

Premium Member Looming Death
Death knocks on our door
A mere courtesy
Needs no permission
Offers no reprieve
Nor grants extension

Quaking in fear
Feeling helpless
We pause the cause
Of contraction

No regrets
No goodbyes
We move on

Light smile
Detached

Void

Premium Member Nip it in the bud
a strange sense of dread builds up
we know not what could be the cause
yet it manifests and so we do recognise
our stuporous awareness that was oblivious
but be that as it may, we take measures
to nip in the bud the heart contraction
by becoming a witness to ourself...

Premium Member Watchful Eye
We clearly see it slowly creeping 
Consciousness contraction 
Origin in ego borne craving
Agitating our tranquil orientation 

Ever watchful alert awareness
Recognises the egoic aberration
Shifting back to pristine stillness 
As quietude of our meditation

Premium Member The Flavor of Forever
The clock sprints one way
as we walk the other
the hands intersecting 
with our hearts
reminding us
that there was a beginning
and there will be an end,,
A grand expansion
a fantastic contraction
just beyond the black veil
there are no clocks
just the delicate flavor of 
forever,...

Above and Below

In The  Formless Womb of Mind
Thoughts  Are Conceived
Admitted by Water
Nourished and Fed
Contraction to Accommodate Expansion
Laboriously Giving Birth to Recycled New Born Ideas
or Dormant Dreams on Wings
Received by Water
Innocence Groomed With Love and Care
Above and Below.

Premium Member Vulnerable
As we slowly soften attention
simply looking about in gentleness
empathy tuning into subtler vibrations 
we feel impacted by misaligned consciousness 

This anomaly of contraction is easily corrected
by reducing identity borne attachment 
recognition having ego deselected
thus nestled in contentment

Premium Member Consciousness Correction
a subtle, almost imperceptible vibrational distraction
became an irritant causing consciousness contraction 
taking a step back, we allowed the flame to die out
contemplating on why we had so allowed it to grout
as such, the seeming nonevent, though a flicker in time
redoubled our resolve to entwine with the divine sublime

Elizabeth, Fiery Filly
laced lips lurching
ember eerie embroidery
dripping damped nectar
clustering salient coda
sigh scrunching seduction
callous confetti's contraction

hoisted hips hankering
saucy shriek scoring
sumptuous attention seizing

lanky limbs trace
mystic melody's grace
like lusty race

gaze sparks spewing
Elizabeth, fiery filly.

Two Rivers

Stark naked she slowly shrivelled her exposed vacant mind

shed dry viscous tears and filled the empty river in vain

Exhausted petrified her and the stream her inner self 

bared to rugged contraction with one final squeeze flooded

the truth that she floated on sediment nevertheless

Premium Member The Downward Curve
Enableability taken away 
in an instant, the way it was granted.
If we be a conduit, we should not sway,
there being no ego to be flaunted,
with no narrow thoughts, feeble and slanted.
We being oriented for expansion
are thus disconcerted by contraction.
However, it is the ego upset
having lost reason for celebration,
since pristine presence always stands erect.

Premium Member School Senryu Poems
Here comes school
again - so it's time for
some school Senryus.

Teacher: "This piece is 
really good, what inspired you?"
Me: "the deadline date."

Hours of homework
are up next - 'cause seven hours
school just wasn't enough.

I've come to believe
that "studying" is a contraction
of "students dying".

Awkward moment: A
boy you don’t know that well says
“don’t I get a hug?”...

Premium Member The Joyous Heart
What is stillness 
Carefree playfulness 
A flow of joy
Devoid of narrow ploy
We are & be
Ecstatic in continuity 
Spontaneous
Each moment fortuitous
Aspect allowing
Blissfully free flowing
To our elation
Thought an interruption
Which we rest
Without caring to test
Having sired
But finally weary & tired
Of contraction 
Opting now for expansion 

Of our heart
