The Pact!
True love intact
headstone unravels all,
their land infertile took them both.

Premium Member Smart Rabbit

To make a binomial theorem from cabbage,
a rabbit invoked Boole and then Babbage,
which worked out easily,
for all powers but three. 
He then used a carrot to advantage.

Premium Member Tough Times At the North Pole

Tough times have fallen on the North Pole
   COVID-19's shrunk employer payrolls

So, the good Lord's invoked the grandfather clause
   To increase the pension due Santa Claus

Uneven Race

…and those in the race
Continued running
And the gap widened
Between they and us
Who stayed behind
And invoked native ingenuity
To give value to our lives.

For us the race was run:
To beg their aid is taboo!

Premium Member Mood celebratory

in a bubble of unknowing
stupor we chose to celebrate
doing nothing gently flowing
feeling in-form chakras gyrate

renouncing thought of loss or gain
we invoked power of zero
thus breaking free of ego chain
in God’s eyes became a hero
Form: Rispetto

Premium Member Phoenix Rising

The black magician
Invoked the demons
Encircling victim
Piercing his aura
Playing on his fears

Healing simple
Oppose not force
Abandon fear
Leaving no niche

Empty now
Void like space
Immortal

Phoenix
Thus does

Rise

Premium Member Transmutation

the epiphany that arose invoked by pristine presence caused a sublime fragrance to linger as after burns of teasing bliss effervescence holding promise of a permanent shift as an embodiment of our being surging forth from our core

Mutatis Mutandis

The marquee's silhouetting neon heart's rejoicing as she sequined
Dracaena whom had merely dreamnt this dream; a fathom to be..
Bustling city streets her trouvere`in morphed vibrant vivid scenes
Translucent wings cable cars pedestals invoked her, highrise stars.

Premium Member so spake simple Simon

the world is vast and we are small
but if we choose we can expand
birthing a magnetic bliss squall
that deeper truths we understand

to enable this just be still
that divine grace be thus invoked
and by surrendering our will
soul presence is with God’s light yolked
Form: Quatrain

Static.....

The accumulative miles could astonish,
All those tongues, with nary a story uttered.
All those eyes that never "saw" a thing.
All those soles, the antithesis of "only".
All those heels, still attempting to lift in silent dignity.

From a still shot, a dynamic response is invoked!!

Blood and Ashes

We toss our treasures into the fire,
To satiate our antiqued desires.
Kneeling before glowing embers, 
When smoke is silent,does blood remember?

We wave our hand across the smoke,
Praying some great thing will be invoked.
We sacrificed our earthly treasures,
In vain, asking the ashes to remember.

one with the vastness, conspiring with space 
magnetised palms transmit radiant light
if the receptor chooses to embrace
healing mists infuse heightened bliss delight
that by God’s hands, wrongs suffered are made right
thus in monk mode, energies with love yoked
magic is conjured, divine grace invoked

Premium Member Ascent

a beautiful koel once lost its melodious voice thus was unable to make a mating call so it invoked divine magnetism manifesting a bliss squall birds from far and wide came to be blessed by this silent sage whose luminous aura radiated delight ‘twas clear its soul had turned a new page

Forsake Me Not

There is nothing more to be realised 
When God’s Grace is invoked and 
His mercy doth flush and cleanse
A carcass so parched that
 Its once beating heart stops
Dormant Broken Empty Nothing
To be replenished just in time
Malicious ego deadened
Fear of its return a dread.
Please God never leave me.

Premium Member ego death

given that what we seek
will in time consume us

we chose to be consumed 
by the flame of love and light

to this end we invoked
power of pure intent
resting in the vibrant void
of silence and stillness 

the false fell away
but what died never was

who we were, are and will be
manifested as living light

Premium Member Gifts of silence

What if silence too is a script we conjure,
tapping into subconscious mind, befooling
ourselves, as we sidestep the truth of what is …
   bemused by ego?

Trapped in swamps of dark desires, bound by beliefs,
how else can we exit this matrix unless
thoughts cease, that thus grace invoked, our soul’s eye sees …
   noumena within?

Premium Member An ethereal scent

Our memory recalled an enchanting scent,
that once delighted and enlivened our soul,
so we invoked grace, according joy consent,
to manifest once again that we feel whole
and thus with the bugle sounded for ascent,
we rekindled the fragrance sages extol.
Such are subtle desires, which we indulge in,
feeling in stillness, bliss ignition begin.

Premium Member Witchcraft

To wreak havoc on her enemy
She invoked a fiery wind
But she was engulfed in the storm
Which she could not now rescind

Swirling leaves pointed like knives
Became a tornado of great force
Oh, she died of a thousand cuts
Yet without feeling remorse

The Promise Within

My old, inconsolable past. 

Until all my worries toppled. 

And then there was nothing in the way of the vastness. 

For a while, I felt guilty for not recognizing my abilities-

Which I was guarding. 

Until they could no longer be invoked. 

And now my capacity is permanently damaged. 

And now there is no way to recover that promise within.
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member The do-nothing practice

Instinctively following scent of delight,
in as that pulsation that does not abate,
in staid stillness, soul attained zenith like height,
teleported by love straight to heaven’s gate,
suffused in bliss mists thus by day and by night,
invoked by yearnings of our childlike heart chaste.
As we can see there is nothing to be done,
save recognising that God and soul are one.

Premium Member Free from fetters

Here we go again,
dancing in the rain,
feeling rapture rise,
in childlike surprise.

The last time around,
we were in fears drowned
but now we have seen,
soul’s luminous sheen.

In mind-body urn,
earth’s a school to learn,
somewhat like a dream,
where latent thoughts stream.

Now that we know this,
we’ve invoked God’s bliss
and are now carefree,
untied from mind’s tree.

there being no other
I Am the power within
enabling all functions
of cognition and action
related to body-mind

I Am presence observes
ego as shadow of the Self
floundering in ignorance 
and so compassion stirs
creating a magnetic pulse

divine magnetism is love
omnipresent and omnipotent 
once invoked ego surrenders
all that that then remains 
is light of Self in the heart
