Premium Member Past Lives

I looked back At my footprints Then took a picture To remember The last time I ever looked back


Premium Member Transformation

Vacant
Of thoughts
Imploding
Cannibalistic
Feeding on past lives
Losing self-consciousness
A state of oblivion
Transforming

Dream What May Come

Dream what may come
Recalling past lives lived
Every fantasy comes to life
All night long 
More nightmares to come
So many worlds to explore

Past Lives In the Past

Past lives in the past
Leave it there where 
It belongs 
Don't dig up 
Don't unearth
The things of the past 
Focus on the resent 
Looking towards things to come

Premium Member The Past Lives of Deserts

Raindrops dropping out,
                                                  Sea sank below golden sand,
                                                              Ashes of water.

Premium Member Now Is Forever

We are prophets, living our soon-to-be past lives, 
We shall learn the truth when the time arrives. 
For now, however, live as though you're meant to thrive, 
As though your future selves will thank you, for staying alive.

Premium Member A Reunion

In twilight sleep, dreams flow deeply, through mind-halls. Caverns and crevasses hold many memories; some of past lives. Inundated with dreamscapes, memories float and surface, a mind-soul reunion.

Premium Member Sun Unveils Herself

sun unveils herself
red sings out to carress her
shameless disarray
beckons her with his calling
greens from past lives fade away

My Surroundings

I remember before my conception,
when I was not alive.
Where the light found my eye's and yet
I wasn't blind back like now.

Look to the show's,
where electronic technology can catch the
word's and energy,
from long ago past lives.

A Good Book

A good book takes you
far away to unknown lands.
Tears are shed. Death felt.

The fights are fearsome.
Futuristic tragedy
and past lives burst through.

Love stories flourish.
Characters become your friends.
History unfolds

Puzzle pieces shift
Clues hidden within the page
Space is tangible.

Premium Member Deja Vu Babel In Flower

Listen to poem:
I've seen that face, I see in crowd
I know that new place, on arrival
I've felt all this familiarity
I know, I know this being
has all been there before.
Past lives, past sense, 
past tense, become alive
in present tense,
evoked by the yearning
for context, meaning
in the empty void.

Premium Member Looking Beyond Form

Looking beyond form, we adorn We see gender dissolved Both polarities we have worn Past lives whence we evolved We each are God essence Vibrational presence Blissful luminescence Touched by God’s love warm Looking beyond form 25-November-2021 Quietus

When the Past Lives On In Memory

Dreading up the past
when the past has left us behind

Dredging up the past
when it insists on being left buried

Fledgling future is waiting to be born
when death refuses to let go of life's big toe

Pledging the future to be more forgiving
when memory works all to well for the living.
Form: Couplet

On Waking Without You

I wake to walls.
No feet running, no kettle hissing.

Only the tap of a message not sent.

If I had written to you earlier,
perhaps the morning would feel less like an ending
and more like something possible.

Instead,
I scroll past lives I do not live.

And tell myself:
Next sunrise, maybe.

Premium Member Footprints

memories of past lives led are stored
as footprints in our subconscious mind
and they oft appear to us in dreams,
that we may relive moments left behind

as long as these thought forms arise
does it not signal attachment residue
how then can we reap fruits of silence
displaying pristine rapture’s virgin hue
Form: Rhyme

Love Is All

L ove is everything to me
O nly people don’t seem to see
V oices from the inner regions
E arnestly telling us to simply care 
I nside messages we cannot recognize
S tymied by years of ignorance and greed
A mazing dreams if we could but see
L inked into love through past lives unknown
L et the light shine through to a mind at peace
Form: Acrostic

Premium Member slow and easy

flickers in space tease
emotions release
polarities swirl
in bliss mists we curl

tree of ego felled
awareness is held
in dawn to dusk’s yawn
when no thought forms spawn

be this as it may
in sleep we do sway
where past lives reveal
need of love to heal

in blissful repose
we metamorphose 
on bosom of earth
whilst bubbling with mirth

It's a Sad World

I got pulled by sadness
      In a universe fulll of madness
      Surrounded by weakness
      Rainclouds and gloominess
      Made of poison and loveless
      So sad they were careless
      Nearly dying of emptiness
      People from thier past lives made for selfishness
      Earth is for unfairness
      Someone changing it has its rareness
Form: Rhyme

And In My Dreams

my unlived dreams
     or maybe past lives
sprawl before me vivid
those elements too slippery
for my daytime fingers
a mutiny of imagination
lusts' games played shamelessly
and holy moments of understanding
entwined in nocturnal intimation
spilling into my undreaming hours -
Oh, how I love to dream,
and experience an existence more fully
relieved the burdens of wakefulness

Your Love

Your words pierce through 
My inner core
Heart melting and defying
Gravity 
Hearing your sweet voice
Takes me into another
Realm of consciousness
I hear my heartbeat
Smell the air
Touch your soft skin
And here I am 
With this happiness 
Smiling from ear to ear
Looking at you
And realize you and I
Are soulmates
Together again from past lives
I'm happy we found each
Together

Premium Member Nowadays

Nowadays, people are afraid
to be alone with self (one’s 
own thoughts)—addicted to the static
of distraction, gadgets for ears
and mantras for the mind…

as though an inherent,
Righteous-core were the enemy: 
we shut out voices of conscience
and Divine Guide—echos
of past lives while roadside markers
for an enlightened future…

we are stagnant in a deep sleep...

animate though dead….

Colours

Psychedelic colours burst across the sky
Mood rings blink on and off as I fly by
Count the bright stars as they travel with us
It's just nature showing that it doesn't make a fuss

Dream of past lives that you have lived 
As you smile at your memories for what they give
Your cosmic travelling will be a sight to see
What wonders will their be in the future for you and me!

Magazines In Every Corner

Magazines in every corner
Rubber bands on lids of jars
Silk ribbons and dried flowers
Glossy brochures from afar.

Mantle, desk, and table
Piled high with worn out books.
Long forgotten potpourri
ticked away in tiny nooks.

Faded quilts across the bed,
Davenport, and tattered chair
Decorated by a lazy cat
Gently grooming her gray hair.

Dusty must moldy air
Timelessly suspended
Ages past, lives once lived
Forgotten and now ended.

Premium Member Where Heaven Meets Hell

I WALK ALONG THE EDGE 
WHERE THE LAND MEETS THE SEA 
WHERE THE SEA MEETS THE SKY
WHERE HEAVEN MEETS EARTH
WHERE HEAVEN MEETS HELL

THE SEA AIR PUTS A COAT OVER NY SKIN
AND FILLS MY MOUTH AND LUNGS WITH ITS SALTY SWEETNESS
THE  SOUNDS OF THE SURROUND FILL MY HEAD
WITH THE STILLNESS AND TURMOIL OF PAST LIVES
AS MY EYES LOOK OUT AND SEE THE PAST AND PRESENT AS ONE 

AND I BECOME ONE WITH THE SEA
FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
I AM WHOLLY FREE

The Perfect World

The precarious balance of the earth on its axis,
Spinning ever so gently,
Cradling its precious cargo,
It echoes with the sounds of beating hearts,
The flow of water,food through green.
The days whirr past lives ever so quickly,
Only the days of sadness, death left behind,
Sorrow in the depth of innocent eyes,
Terror infused in every beating heart,
The delicate balance,
Balanced till when?
Only till the day we find Utopia.
