Are we yet joyous or do dark fears grout

Rub-a-dub-dub
Three men in a tub
What were they doing there?
A grout guy, a plumber
Not sure who was dumber
The third guy to open the beer!...

rip me open, inside out 
straddler feeling, he came out
drag me along, make me bleed
fake your love, I don't feed  
screams for help , I, the silent grout ...

walls crawling 
inside out 
Escher etching
fingernail grout
staring at stares
plaid throughout 
plied and played
guts splayed out 

wailing away 
in bars in stout...

I cut off the chicken legs of my dusty house
I live in this tin with a little grey mouse
Each year on Halloween I put candy out
And catch me some kidniks to grind into grout,...

I had a fit
And then flipped out
Got over it
Without a doubt
My anger lit
Within my pout
I had to sit
Not run about
What did I hit
Was in a bout
Put on my mitt
Dug out the grout
I used my wit
Now I am out...

Tear me down and rip me up
throw the carpets out
all my wires and plugs disrupt
scrAPE AND clean the grout
  wrecking ball ,imploding
brains
drano down in all the drains
bleach my soul of all the stains
cleanse my heart of doubt....

concrete crib
gunfire lullabies
burnt lungs
grout eyes

weak pulse
slate tears
rubble nursery
lifeless stares

debris clouds
airstrikes rain
blood soaked vest
war crime stain

precious innocence
dusty grey
buried alive
unnamed grave...

The pull to act, in as ordained
As this dream life plays out
In mindfulness to be unstained
Letting not desires grout

No terrain to be won
The doing yet is done
So let us make it fun

As of soul pact
The pull to act

Freedom from doubt, fulfils desires
If our intent be pure
Healing power that heart aspires 
Proffers permanent cure

We’re in jubilation 
There’s no aberration
In our co-creation

Let not thoughts grout
Freedom from doubt

Gentle shift from body to soul
Journey without movement 
Love octaves ascend, we feel whole
In blissful contentment 

In play, heart goes about 
Life as ordained plays out
Fear forms no longer grout

Love touch gift
Gentle shift

Each wish fulfilled, if heart be pure
Devoid of fears that grout
Touch of love is a sure shot cure
Let mind be free from doubt

God’s will is always done
Know that we are His son
Luminous, shining one

If by love willed
Each wish fulfilled

Learned to cook
From a book

One pinch here
Scant use there

Here’s the plan
Prepare pan

Coat with flour
Bake one hour

Fill halfway
Don’t delay

So how come
Looks like gum

Hard as grout 
Must throw out

Tried again
Opened can

Good result
No insult

Returned book
Haughty look...

Heart reaches out, in warm embrace
Stuporous thought rested
Touch tender, no puzzles to lace 
Each moment, we’re tested

Here now let’s shake-shake-shake 
In this moment, awake
Love loves love, for love’s sake

Ego fears grout
Heart reaches out

a stain doused with bleach, 
     scrubbed with power grout brush
           yet stubbornly remains.
   confrontation with a mind made up...
                  a losing battle.

To see and ignore,
a tedious chore.
To beg and implore
for lust evermore.
To relish the raid,
to bask and fade.
The saliva cascades,
drank by the brave.

Cracked tiles,
withering grout.
Path through the trash:
a sensible route.

Down the sidewalk, 
behind the pines.
A secret little shrine.
Not mine,
but that's fine....

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

Power in our hands
Take their stand
In stillness & silence 
Renewed in continuance

The doubts
That seek to grout
Of alien origin
We rely upon ignition 

Within

Vibrant emptiness
Bliss in fullness
Outpours
Like never before

Rapturous & elixirous
Ecstasy continuous
We reside therein
Each moment begin

Anew

Attempting to join the dots 
we tie up ourselves in knots; 
later try to untangle,
these barbs that scar and mangle.

Instrumentalising thought 
we rest in silence, self-taught,
letting go of doership crutch,
enabling knowing by touch.

One with universal mind,
wisdom of another kind,
definitive, free from doubt,
deep in soul, clear truth does grout.

He dreams of thin chickens pecking at a dirt floor.
A big brown teapot is stuffed with scraps of poetry;
words waiting to be led out like bawling cattle
into the haze and dust.

As he does every day, he seeks some less worked earth
to plant words into, hopes they will mature into
filler, grout, and spackle to patch up his wormwood.
Mostly they scatter on a dry wind
until night reclaims them....

Clear advantage of the energy path
being that there remains within no doubt,
each moment in time, a holy sabbath.
Going beyond concepts, no more doubts grout,
filled with vibrant bliss, as we go about,
fears and desires exhumed in an instant,
we are to each divine pulse cognisant.
Focused with single pointed attention,
joy suffused in our native element,
flow of life unending celebration.

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!

What is that sticky substance
Right on my kitchen floor?
It's only in one spot,
I can't see any more.

Could it be a piece of gum?
I can't figure it out.
Maybe some milk gravy
Or a tiny splash of grout.

It's a bit embarrassing
And rarely is it seen.
Like the rest of my house,
I like to keep my kitchen clean.

I have to find the answer,
So on my hands and knees.
After a closer look,
I saw it was just some cheese....
