An epic new world abuzz
Journey inwards...

Sighing in pleasure sliding inwards,
Then out of a loosening drench....

Life happens
In a blink
Or a wink
Making you realise 
As you think
And inwards you sink!

Two sisters sit beguiled in common guilt;
all that is left.
That
and denials;
bitterness 
turned outwards;
inwards too painful.
Truth, a casualty
like lost children.
Love, just a word....

let us turn our senses inwards
heart lotus erect heavenwards
emptiness of form magnetised
soul in cave of heart realised
path of stillness not for cowards

Sometimes you feel like
you want to run forever
away from yourself.

Others you want to
curve inwards like a black hole
away from people

or stay forever
in fluid space between thoughts
where you don’t exist....

at end
of days

we look
inwards

review
life lived

the smiles
and tears

we brought
about

direct
measure

of our
soul growth

nothing
else counts

know this
hermit

oh wait that´s right it was never there
in the first place...

In deep amnesia
The truth forgotten
The future unknown
Entity flounders
Hither and thither

Directionless 
In the darkness
Oblivious
To the true Self

In prayer
Innocence 
Reclaims truth

The way
Inwards

Pure

Listen to poem:

Bursting inwards
puckered collapse sucked in,
with explosion played back in reverse,
she caught her sneeze
behind her lips shut tight,
with only a tiny grunt,
expelled from nostrils,
sneaking out,
she saved herself from 
embarassing gesundheit....

Lost souls
wander on earth,
knowing not what to do,
to imbibe joy in permanence,
so they begin pursuit of illusions,
flitting from object to object 
until they turn inwards,
no longer then,
lost souls.

Caress
of love divine
manifests within heart,
when we shift attention inwards,
melding head with heart, both aligned with love,
becoming empty, so to speak,
whereupon bliss fills us,
in a gentle
caress.

Knowing that time does not move,
that I move through it -
I take my time.
There is nowhere to go today,
nothing presses,
the journey to take is inwards,
and even this can wait
while I watch the falling rain
slowly wash my moments away....

Where the road I look- is walked by several
people...  there are footprints leading inwards
that has me inviting to its path.
Though my foot is attempted to walk its soil,
I know that there's no good this way.
I find an inner strength to walk a separate way....

the whole of "universe" they say
has once been prey
to this dark patch
lil strange to watch

can neither say if is inwards
or just outwards
emptiness spread
But sure is bread

bread from which the breeding began
as earth's region
then life started
or created...

Why I pray 

I focus inwards 
Cos there lies 
The power from within

I can't explore 
The truth with blindness
Cos I can't attest to what 
I don't know

God is everlasting
And life is his creation

So if I have to live 
His existence mean 
A blessing to my survival...

the human entity that feels
employs body as a springboard
in bondage to gender and tendencies
looking outwards then reviewing inwards
the pulse of duality from fulcrum of oneness
celebrating even delusion made possible by form

thus both captive and free

Mind-body cage, looking outwards
What’s there but illusion
Until attention shifts inwards 
We are in delusion

God awaits our presence
Within heart’s innocence 
Clue is blissful fragrance

Battles we wage
Mind-body cage

Breath taken I gaze, no words for this

Those eyes of auburn, like rare stones

I could be lost in such eyes, forever

As I sink inwards, falling inwards

Enveloped by a grace, a feeling

Of completeness, oneness

I am left surrounded by love

Cushioned in passion

Free at last

I stood on a sea shore 
I contemplated 
All the meanings 
Why I am , me? 
What I am here for... 

A wave took me away 
The thoughts I had kept 
Scattered in a wisp of sea spray 
Inwards I crept 

In to the sea 
In to me 
All the meanings 
Why I am me 
What I am here for 
Cast from a sea shore...

There are places within the shadows,
That rain cannot touch,
Where sound, save but for the faintest of mumbles,
Knows not either but the fractured
Affliction of itself turned inwards.
These are the knots that wrap their rage
Around distant memory,
A place where there,
But in God,
Heavy thunder dwells....

We pick up the pen,
in a mood of zen,
melding with the flow,
of bliss beats mellow.

With love as God’s gift,
in currents adrift,
we softly emote
hymns that angels wrote.

Words thus not our own,
by grace inwards blown,
crystallise in shape,
that leaves us agape.

Who...
what...
where....
Am I suppose to be here...now...
staring at a screen looking inwards...
wondering where I'm suppose to be.
Questioning my existence...
I know I'm here for something...WHAT???
WHY???
I wish I could put even a fingernail...
It just...
Hmmmm...still looking for confirmation
Any takers?...

I hold my hand in the air
My mind screaming are you there
A billion minds all do the same
Each culture a different name
No answer comes so we change our focus
Our accusing fingers pointing inwards 
Blaming color, sex and creed
For the missing deity
That really isnt there
And if you think that i am wrong
Prove it...

Imagined pins and needles
Hobbling my swarth
Homes sweet hearth cradling your whim
The sound and safeness of home farmed hands
The vastness invites in colour hued
But shadow and soul will not conform
Stepping over limbless torsos of people falling to pieces
Devil shunned faces turn inwards
As outside stays outside...
