fetters fall
when we be
as we are

that that is
shines as bliss
humming love

our is-ness
eternal
thus renews

if its happenstance
why such resonance
in the back of my brain
in my shoulders in my spine
love jesters fetters still
till it overcomes my will...

We went to Tegia to capture slaves
And we took some fetters with us.
But in the end, we Spartans were enslaved,
And they fixed our fetters on us.

fetters that bind
require an anchor
onto which to latch

the breeze is immune
as is the radiant sunlight
reflected by a blissful moon

A powerful consent to the notch of oath;

Every mouth that says it must obey the heart,

Else he be bound by the fetters of his tongue,

For allowing his lips to carelessly part!...

aided by the breeze
the dead leaf falls
finally released

the tree now breathes
inhaling bliss elixir
free from fetters

that that never was dies
that that always was is
aglow in waking state...

Burnt

ashen

ground

humid

dusty

quagmire

I rummaged in my hands

blackening fingertips

and felt peace

it was what was left

of her last letter

that had freed me of all

fetters....

Part of my anatomy I never can live without,
Onset of thoughts that turns all else about;
Every hair-strand bows before its plague,
Tethers and fetters fall at its song.
Rhymes may sometimes sound empty and vague,	
Yet they are the lyrics of the angelic throng!...

Fetters,
in letters,
locked,
in speech,
shut,
in mouth,
stunted,
in ideas,
he simply,
was bound,
no one,
was there,
to bring him around,
he simply miffed,
breathed in,
and asyphixated,
he kept quiet for life,
and died leading,
a life mostly free of rife....

our true Self speaks
in soft reverberations
of magnetised silence

bliss ripples cascade
as echoes received
transmitted by God

identity slowly vaporises
bubble of delusion bursts
noiselessly in the void

pristine presence
free from fetters
rises like the sun...

Since we are in a hypnotic trance
Divine aligned let us now in exuberance dance

Exiting vibrations of grossness
Ever resonating with throb of bliss in fullness

Then our stupor no longer matters
Detached and nonchalant free from all narrow fetters

Unseen fetters bind as chains,
Yoking man to his sin.
Sweat and pain is his legacy,
As were father's before.
From outrage, His cry echoes for justice,
Drowning out Mercy's faint whisper..
There is no hope,
Without realizing that forgiveness is the lock,
And God's grace is the key....

Reaction to disdain
Appears in our cognition
We as soul, immune from pain
Wonder at writhing ego's rendition

Meanings assigned, outcomes desired
Anchors, fetters, cause of tension
Futile thoughts by ego sired
Seeking our attention

Softened attention heightens magnetism ~
Bliss beats reverberate in body prism

Sound of one hand clapping cascades within ~
Time stretched stillness is the way to begin

Reflect oh hermit, on fetters that bind ~
Time’s now to leave fears and desires behind

A true missionary,
Working among lepers,
Cared for poor, a visionary,
Burnt alive with his two sons by a mob,
Locked in his own jeep, fire fetters,
Imagine how scary,
Killed for loving others.

Friend

Moonlit dandelion burst,
a dream, a truth revealed,
in twilights gossamer glow,
realms of possibilities linger.

Eyes watching still inward,
grasp gently, or slip away,
she who visits in sleep,
unbound of earthly fetters
hand in hand, hearts as one
race the dawn two as one.

Stoic...

Just sing along, resting thought flow
Let go of lower mind
Truth known, in tranquil stillness slow
Free of fetters that bind

We are here now, alive
To music divine, jive
Ceasing to weigh and size

Guesses are wrong
Just sing along

Our bells rung 
Our books shut
Our candles blazing

Water will not protect us
Nor houses keep us safe

Love knows no impasse
It's egress assured

The coldest cockle warms
And the most brave shudders

Love demands submission
The answer is to bow

For we revel in its fetters
Delighting in our erotic machinations...

My soul is weary from this life
Of the constant din and strife
Oh that these fetters would set me free
And I could soar in an unbounding spree
Over the mountains,valleys and raptuous seas
Higher than the eagles flight and the suspended satellite
Into the bosom of the Eternal High
In unconditional peace, love and joy....
