Short Noiselessly Poems

In the wee hours,
the fog crept in noiselessly-
A cunning mistress...

crystallized snowflake
noiselessly floating to ground
whitens the world...

Noiselessly floating-
on those silky windless wings
in life's brief moment.

multitude of bubbles burst noiselessly 
or perhaps it is we who vaporise in space
either which ways, the manifestation is bliss

why would we complain?

The nectar, 
coming from nowhere, 
settles on your lips.

       *

A peacock 
will show all the eyes, 
wide open.

        *

What will it mean 
if a nuke is fired, 
noiselessly, as a depth charge ?

Divine
love, light and scent
pervades each cell of form,
signalling heavenward ascent,
as the last bastions of our ego fall,
bursting noiselessly in the void
and then that that remains
is soul essence
divine.

Autumn brings cold darkness
Enveloping fog gathers
Hanging in joyless khaki
Leaves mound noiselessly
Offering people quiet rustles
Should the unsuspecting vegetation
Whirl xcitable-as-a young zephyr




Please excuse the minor indescretion on the last line :)...

silently I sit
although my mind shouts loudly
no one sees how deep
this inner conflict reaches
noiselessly, heart wounds bleed out

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...

Doll house

Smoke came from the attic
the doll house was aflame.
Burnt down to ashes
as were the small figurine 
that lived noiselessly 
in childhood memories.
A casket
tiny music box had a dancer
buried 
at the bottom of the garden.
Ashes to ashes.
Even memories will vanish....

the crackle 
of dried twigs cracked
the steep stillness, the quiet
of May's blistering noonday;

gray owl,
from the dark foliage,
flew out into the sun's glare,
losing then finding its way;

noiselessly,
it flapped upward,
in slow spirals, scowling down,
then, blindly, soared far away!...

As stillness gradually settles down
A tumbler within trips noiselessly
Fulcrum in void of formlessness 
Observes mind-body nonchalantly

The fabric of space our presence 
Infusing in identity stillness & silence
Emptiness of form vibrant with bliss
Imbibing & reflecting divine fragrance

Cessation by free will
Free will of a doer
Thus not cessation
Unless responses slow
By simple recognition
The recognition renewed
As emptiness meditation 
Whereupon the veil falls
Bubble of ignorance bursts
Noiselessly into the void
Bliss luminous self-existent
Alone remains in stillness

The shade masked an excellence
Abounding quaint noiselessly
It was a hard morning frost
Around a pool of shallow water
Like BP spout spilling ancient earth amenities
But there was one thing hidden-covered
Camouflaged in essence escaped
In a calming cool pool of slight darkness
A shade, a shadow
My shadows in prison 
My mind is free...

I am vaporizing in your eyes slowly 
Noiselessly, clearly, and helplessly
Am I willing to be absorbed as steam?
No! my feeling is no but wordlessly

I am vaporizing in your eyes helplessly
As immediate as I saw you saw me
You turned  me into steam  softly

What should I do immediately?
Seeping into your soul completely?
Or hiding into the cloud urgently?...

The old man's khaki shorts
Still hangs on a string fastened 
to the back of his rocking chair
On the veranda

As the wind blows
The chair rocks noiselessly 
I remember poignantly 
As the hour drew near

He wore his khaki shorts
Sat on the rocking chair
Gazed upwards 
Like one counting the clouds

He mumbled:
Lord, is it it?
Receive my poor soul,
I tried....

How to navigate the path leading to liberation?

Loosening mind-body identification
Recognising that our attention is held in packets of time
Silence and stillness our orientation 
Unhurriedly shifting fulcrum nearer to conscience chime

What happens in meditation is this: we exit hypnotic trance
Tumbler within falls noiselessly; revealing self-luminescence

Thought spirals
Eating us alive
Remorselessly
Gnawing our soul

We lift our hand
As a stop signal
The bubbles burst
Noiselessly

In staid silence
Tranquil equipoise
Flow of time ends
Melding with the void

Awareness self-aware
Porous and receptive
Invites bliss currents
To suffuse our heart

Dance of polarities
Rotates with each breath
Essence of presence
Celebrates divine union

Peace at stake,
it worked.
Withdrawal of rubber dolls
playing with fire.

Empty bowls in lunar month.
Concords were flying very high
noiselessly crossing the peaks
of great grudges.

Pure golden hair –
of grief.
It really was miracle.
Bald eagle was waiting.
Enough time to steer a murder.

The irresistable desire
to rub with a paranoid.
Extracting a genius from mediocre genera.
Life had become too genteel.

First full moon of Vaishakha enlightened Lumbini
Before three thousand years earth observed saintly

Last night the full moon peeped through window glass
There loneliness led and my existence sought that nimbus

Noiselessly the wings came from the moonlight
Unicorn showed the reel how to remove virus kite

Starry fortnight moon enjoying tonight's pray
Healthy earth light on the physicians successful way

At harvest time
Where a white ghost flies
Across a blood red moon
Behind the fields the rolling hills
Are purple, pink and blue

Over a dreaming wheat field
A barn owl patrols
Noiselessly it glides
Over the golden yellow drifts

Suddenly, it flaps its wings
And stares down intently
Below on the soil a startled vole
Sees a white star fall
A squeak and the owl is gone 
And with it the limp vole....

I dreamt of dripping tears in my dream,
And silent verses floated noiselessly as butterflies;
These dreams like ghosts from the past my writing themes,
O,  there is a sweetness and beauty amid the tears of tragedies,
My life sad but still lovely as a garden ravaged that weeps and sighs.

cracle of dry twigs

  cracked the stillness,

    the quiet of April's

      blistering noonday

 

          gray owl flew out

             from dense foliage

               into sun's fiery glare,

                 losing,  finding its way

 

                     it flapped noiselessly

                       upward in slow spirals,

                         scowling down, then

                           soared far away, blindly!

Pink sky dark
trees rising three silhouetting against sky  pink 
sky
overhead

three trees rising
leaning 
paper cut-outs 
leaning 
black paper cut-outs on
pink pages

above 
wood fence running 
away
darker down to 
shed

breathing all in breathing 
self
in smoky 
air breathing self 
out 
into air

tree silhouettes breathing 
calmly 
silently

quiet

cat gliding 
noiselessly 

me-and-
ering 
cor-
ner darker 
disappearing
darker 
like breath along

as part of internal detoxification
hidden fears and desires manifest
on the surface these contractions
seems to be at our egos behest

however if we look at these urgings
they are bubbles rising to the surface
where they burst noiselessly transmuting
into colourations of love by divine grace

it is at times like these we must hold steady
our resolve to maintain our spiritual focus
attention poised and heart devoutly ready
maintains track on the divine love locus
