For you

Premium Member Pair Of Flight

Birds revel on shimmy petals
Fervid wings stretching over sepals
Thistles on the other side, live in deep purples
Whistles of portals imbued by warbles

Premium Member The Light of Self

innocence sparks audacity
borne of our soul’s vivacity
vibrant by day, aglow by night
manifesting bliss beat delight
self-renewing capacity

Premium Member Tasting Bliss

With a smile I grab my aloe
my skin has a fire's glow;
sensitive as lips that are kissed
it's a flame I couldn't resist; 
Tasting bliss; a beach's ebb and flow
sea

Premium Member Fears Live

Be safe in the meadow warm glow
Away chase the fears of the dark
Awash in the bright sunlight show
Alas the woods I must embark
This my only way home to go


Premium Member Art of living

Animating vibrance of heart,
we feel then bliss ignition start,
doing nothing, we are present,
granting magnetism our assent.
Who said living is not an art?

Premium Member A Quintella On Quintella

Eight syllables per line's the way,
so to use the Quintella’s form
in five lines to which I conform,
I’ll rhyme with a b b a a.
This Spanish form is A-okay!

Premium Member why wallow in the shallow

joining the dots, mind game inane,
tracking pitter patter of rain,
the pull of divine magnetism,
cascading in body-mind prism,
God’s benediction healing pain

Journey's End

Who could look beyond horizons
To where the warmth of glowing Heat
Will ask the Angel in retreat
Smile upon a body wizened
Ageless soul still longs to find Him

Anvil Dreams

The anvil wallows on his heart 
His dreams, trodden, alas depart
Pride triggers a cursory front
The fierce justification hunt
He steps to nowhere from the start

Lord Horatio Nelson

Did Nelson give one scintilla
about France’s silly flotilla?
No! Nor was he bashful at court,
though of the quite gaseous sort,
as his farts smelled of vanilla.

Premium Member The direct path

Ignorance is the cause of sin 
In silence then, God-search begin
What is religion but a cult
Why not instead let heart exult
Bliss borne rapture felt deep within

Premium Member I Went Far Far Away

I went far far away,
On a train that took all day,
Upon my arrival,
I tried but my energy was final,
I popped the cork and enjoyed my glass of wine.

Premium Member Invoking grace

Save aligning with throb of love,
each touch mindful, like a peace dove,
we do nothing to alter fate
and have no agenda to state,
yet blessings pour in from above.

Premium Member Silence please

we are in a web of thought caught
who we think we are, we are not
we are in our way, so to speak 
knowing not we are who we seek
silence the way, to be self-taught

Premium Member soul speak

body has its need, we have ours
flavour of limitation sours
the saving grace is bliss rapture
divine spark mind cannot capture
dwelling in which we spend our hours

Premium Member Cannonball Tree

I stand in awe each time I see
a thousand flowers bearer tree,
Pretty flowers like anemones
at tall trunk with hard fruits like stones
or bullet balls of the army.

To Enjoy

In the quartz canvas of the bud
Juvenile love flies like the bird
Wedded Dale implants living truth
Happy and sorrowful make roots
Combined souls enjoy a fond heart

Premium Member Bound To the Sea

I hope one day I will be free
of this seashell that enfolds me
Not able to dance on the beach
That dream remains out of my reach
E'er bound to the realms of the sea

Premium Member Once we know

Once we have seen the light of Self,
our life flows gently by itself,
for having been, seen and so known,
in time we come into our own,
with no agenda on our shelf.

Premium Member Denied

expressing a spectrum of light
ushering within bliss delight
instead of letting rapture grow
our lower mind impedes the flow
fragmented thought, not boon but blight

Premium Member Buddha speaks

he who stands closer to the source 
teaches without employing force 
since he’s not in separation 
therefore there’s no thought serration
in his evocative discourse

Premium Member Who am I

Knowing not who in truth we are,
rudderless we’ve drifted afar,
yet anytime we may reclaim
inner light as soul’s claim to fame,
shining brightly like the North Star.

Premium Member spare me please

don’t thrust belief on my heartbeat
for I dwell not in lower mind
instead feel love’s magnetic heat
bliss delight which I follow blind
with vibrations of God aligned

Premium Member Thy Love Alone

Am I murderous criminal,
One who has done no harm?
God shed His blood, for all,
Years ago;
And I'm victim to His charm –

                       (1 John 4:10, KJV)
