Short Quietened Poems

Pain lingers as long as you let it
Scars teach without voices
At times, silence offers peace 
But who can guarantee solitude 
to quietened chaos?...

As dormant nadis open
new pulsations felt within
the feeling though strange
is calmed by bliss ignition

With our lower mind rested
and ego craving quietened
we embrace each surprise
as bliss throb is heightened

the clairvoyant saw
God within our heart
and our soul luminous

we were pleased
in as egoically
delusionally

for where is God not

yet these validations
quietened our doubts
steadying hearts resolve

to deepen inner silence

After everything has quietened down a bit

Nothing will ever change and nothing will
Everyone will settle down eventually 
Working in government we will play

Everyone will want changes who will pays
Remember we say what they want to hear
All because we are afraid of change brings...

She died at ninety eight
She knew a time for misery
Hard times and hard work
For pain and suffering
And yes even agony
It all seemed endless
And then it did
There came a time 
For freed spirits
Quietened cries
And answered prayers
There finally came
A time for peace

Consciousness looking at its reflection
by making the object as the subject
parallel mirrors in contemplation
who is who, in hypnotic trance forgets
until the self enters meditation 

Quietened attention, all thoughts suspect
poised attentively, thus in cessation
layer by layer, delusion ferrets
truth of oneness, sudden recognition 
whereupon hermit gets to the summit

This is the story that should not be told
And it was not told ever
Till the time it mattered
Now that they have escaped in corners safe
This comes out as history on a cuppa at café
They dug
Buried
Filled
Graved
Quietened
Bribed
Wined
Dined
And womanized
To keep it under wraps
Many wanted to spill
They even got hurt or killed
Silence was kept and enforced
Black it was periphery to core....

Cold and Misty
By: Miracle Man

This blustery day finds me quietened inside,
Weighing my thoughts before going to ink.
Most thoughts arriving my pen has denied,
I’m carefully bound and thoughts I bethink.

I gaze outside and observe leaves blowing,
A Northwester wind, gale force, is howling.
Today’s forecast mentions sleet and snowing,
Which means today will be spent scowling.

Unveil my eyes, O my Love!
So that I see your graceful face
Shelter my load on your shoulders, O my Love!
For I am a blossom infatuated with emotive rain
Sweep my lips open, O my Love!
So that its cries can be quietened with your kiss
Resonate your song deep in my ears, O my Love!
For my soul is weary with pain
Clutch me deep in the warm chambers of your chest
So that my quivering rib-cage holds my heart firm from this wintry plummet....

Time moves slowly,
and changes come fast,
each birth, death,
nothing forever last.

Learning to cope,
sometimes hard to do,
trying to fit in,
that is all you can do.

Streets once traveled,
now silent from your steps,
yesterday made sweet laughter,
now only tears are left.

Family now distant,
hearts left all alone,
quietened by anger,
wondering who was wrong.

Time moves slowly,
and changes come fast,
each birth, death,
nothing forever last....
