Short Embodying Poems

There’s no sense of urgency,
since there remains no seeking,
save embodying within,
awareness of Self....

Elegant bird of lakes
Enchanting in white plumes;
Egret twirls graceful neck
Exotic its coiled form…
Each winged movement, a glide
Endowed by nature’s art
Embodying beauty!

sans memory
we suffer in descent
and celebrate our ascent

with recognition
awareness of our Self
all realms seem the same

the gunas three
yet shift like seasons
waking, dreaming and deep sleep

embodying turiya
turiyatita then the continuum 
we are immanent and transcendent...

notice the weird machinations of mind
gripped in wayward ego’s relentless bind
delusion orbiting desire’s circle
far removed from fontanel’s hue purple

violet vibes take up pole position 
granting us to God’s abode admission
magnetism immanent and transcendent 
embodying in our heart, love’s pendant...

The Spark of Life

The spark of life exists
Whether self aware or not
Embodying Life in all life

This is the hint in the eye
That peers back 
Meeting and reflecting 

What it is that is 
Unconditioned within
All conditioning

Rarely seen for real
Such paragon of virtue
A divine envoy

Embodying flesh
A heavenly messenger
Ever guiding star

Yet they forgather
Like a quotidian mortal
Blending joyfully

Swimming in the ocean of vibrations,
heart delights on display of sound and light,
where as we imbibe blissful sensations,
the rapture renewing by day and night,
breath by breath we observe ego dissolve,
vaporising that our soul may evolve,
by embodying God’s light in this form,
sensed vividly as a magnetic storm....

innumerable light strobes illumined
all at once with bliss magnetism 
surreal transcendental joy 
immanent within form
as an epiphany 
delighting
heart 

destiny
fast forwards
holding promise
of grace so embodying
the light of a thousand suns
transmuting this organic mind-body
into its true essence as eternal living light...

On this earth I am one
Nestled in the warmth of the sun
Embodying the blessings to come

Thankful I AM
Hopeful I REMAIN
Remember the sun during the rain
Eternal love from God above
Everlasting life is sure to come

Trusting in my deliverance
Honoring my perseverance 
Reaching for the stars 
Earning my stripes
Evening the score and setting things right...

Many a molded
Processed to print
A solid metal melted
Embodying an image
The head or the tail
Circulating the condition
Which will prevail when given
Spare some change makes sense
Are the pennies being well spent
To drop less is better to drop none
How much is too much for someone
A cent or a dollar money is life
The unclean of the mint
This form of green provides...

when thoughts are still
there is no one
here within
save awareness 
consciousness self-aware
and we as it are alive
bliss enraptured 
delighting in the play
of divine magnetism rising
enlivening feeble form 
as tiny bubbles
of nodes burst within
ignition renewal continual 
being what we become
embodying the light
in each cell of this urn
making it a rainbow body...

     Light withdrawn
     Expands again
       approaches dawn
       clucks the hen

    Constellations fade
    Skies o’erspread   
       glory arrayed
       chickens fed

    Rising sun
    Prayers bespake  
      omelets done
      tastebuds awake

emblazon the biosphere
   abstruse blue, shire green
      shaken out of the shadows
                                 fire opal, daystar yellow
                              every color under the sun
                        embodying the labyrinthine canvas

Tell me a truth.
I'll tell you a lie.
I will not oblige to tell you the reason!
Why?

Deception is the greatest truth.

Deception is simplicity.
Black and white picture,
seemingly beautiful.
Close to perfection.
To the unobservant eye.

Appearing to connect,
In a sympathetic nature.
Embodying an illusion.
Alluding to the truth...
Avoiding depth.
in many shades of grey......

Just as the sun surrenders to the horizon
after shimmering out the boldness,
let alone darkness to triumph over;

Likewise, even the sunflower concedes to the sun's movement
radiating euphoria around,
symbolizing admiration and loyalty;

As such the waves converge on the shore
embodying might,
conquering yet coexisting with tranquility;

Thenceforth, let's allow agony to renounce upon us;
for happiness can be consumed,
but pain can create....

I have faith in my faith
Our lives are predestined

The hour we defy the gods
the knocks of the time-keeper 
chase us to herald their
vicious victory

Poetic justice plagues us
leaving no hour for 
retrospective relief or
emotional catharsis

Lady of Justice's balance
will blanche out the errant
embodying divine ordainment
with her double edged sword 

I have faith in my faith
Our lives are predestined

amidst musty furniture and splintering rafters
there it hung
draped across the manikin so gracefully
elegant and beautiful
white and lacy
with its gleaming pearls and lingering train
its a gown for a seraph
glowing luminously in the dim light of the loft
so glamorous
almost perfect
stunning like my mother
bold as my father
embodying love and devotion
memories and passion
inhibits a model's splendor
grants me a sense of ecstasy
my mother's wedding dress...

My bones, my mind, my love doth know
For the sun’s light come after the crow
Of a rooster proudly doing his duty
Rising each morning, to a new beauty

Colors dance and leap across the sky
I wake to the noise I need not reply
Let me sit and ponder
The forest in my mind I wander

Sit in the stillness, the peace of morne
I have no felt this since the day I was born
Let time become slow and the seconds pass by hours
Stop and smell the roses, smell the flowers...

Twins, entrapped in purity of essence,
The woman and the vista;
She, for all the world, is real,
The other cast interpretive.
Models of implicit quintessence,
The painting and the sister;
She, to be so bold, can feel,
The other felt intuitive.

Beauty slaved in delicate pairing,
The female and the prospect;
She, embodying existence,
The other forced reflective.
Each a fundamental bearing,
Yet singular in aspect;
Apart, yet close in distance,
Duet, the splendour comparative....

as each character
in the lucid dream
i am all that is manifest
borne by a creative urge
to ingrain the wisdom
that all conflicts
must be resolved by love alone

once love enabled
separation ends
duality disappears
whereupon all that is
is light of Self alone
vibrant and complete
in ineffable peace
devoid of attribute
renewing itself within itself
in a self-existent singularity 

embodying this awareness
here and now
breath by breath
in an unbroken continuum 
is our prayer...
