Loud crass din of ego prejudice
Recognises not innate urge of our innocence

a street urchin 
we look away
that’s our choice
his soul recognises
lack of compassion 
we will meet again
with roles reversed 
before we merge 
into God’s light

When "I love you"  
                 Turns  to be 
      A daily song into  her hears 
                 She now recognises 
          How much you love her. 
Yoh ! Some women adore 
Songs  in their lives. 
" I love you "...

At the altar, the defaulter
Recognises his slip
Firm not like rock of Gibraltar
He sees his soul stance dip

In time he'll realise
It's best to vaporise
Ascent’s when ego dies

Let's not falter
At the altar

We clearly see it slowly creeping 
Consciousness contraction 
Origin in ego borne craving
Agitating our tranquil orientation 

Ever watchful alert awareness
Recognises the egoic aberration
Shifting back to pristine stillness 
As quietude of our meditation

SUNSET

Squinting at a blinding white sun
The whole of planet Earth turns
And from the viewpoint of us all
A fiery giant ball of red and gold
Dips so slowly below the horizon
Until the merest sliver disappears
And recognises time for darkness
Leaving a crescent moon smiling...

fear and desires bubbles
rooted in mind-body attachment
appear in the sphere of awareness
presence recognises this as delusion
allowing them to rise and subside
for this has been made possible 
because of memory fissure
which is now repaired

there is no shame, dream on
mindfully clinging not to illusion

October

There is disquiet in the air tonight
The noise is still is sullen
Summery with a hint of Sunday blue.

A cricket in the Karoo
A mom sitting on the patio
Howling at the moon
Far far away.

A circular spiral of panic
Then nothing
Not even a breath.

The fever in me recognises the fever in you
Namaste.

Good riddance
Thy will be done.

Amen...

It unveils what is been anticipated
Thee, quietness
Let me breathe, expressing these feelings
How will I know
What is been written
Have to be formulated
Is it a vessel of truth

It recognises what is been born
Hmm, sugary is the taste
Let me scoop this award
How could I have known
That a symbol of culture
Have to be released
Is this a kingdom of Kings...

My computer now recognises me
When I start it up and in the screen I see
There is greeting of a friendly nature it gives
And Cortana answers my questions as if she lives

My verbal commands are understood 
Where the answers come as they should
I suppose the next generation will be quite chatty
As a neighbour would over the back fence be quite happy.

reversing polarity totally 
we become the bliss flame
delighting in piercing form
meticulously cleansing sins*
(*a euphemism for ignorance)
illuminating decaying body
and igniting toroidal heart

we see deluded ego identity
apprehensive feeling bliss
being magnetism unknown
and so we comfort the ego
by taking it up Jacob’s ladder
step by step till it recognises
that all that is is Self alone...

She is woken by the noise
Of raised voices downstairs
She recognises her husband’s voice
The other she is unaware

She stands and listens
Trying to decipher what’s being said
Though the voices are too mumbled
Yet the anger she hears fills her with dread

As she steps towards the bedroom door
There are no more mumbled words
Just yelling and loud scrambled noises
Then deadly silence is all that can be heard!...

A poet recognises innocence

in the smile of a child

in the landscape wild

by the manner mild

of the thought undefiled

eap(eep) is a list cinquain where L1 is a statement followed by rhymed L2-5 that amplify the statement with words introduced by 'in the' by the ' of the'.I labelledthis an eap after Edgar Allan Poe as it is inspired by sililoqy in this format in the conclusion of his essay Poetic Principle....

ID ENTITY

We are nothing compared to an infinite universe
To be otherwise considered by many as perverse
A body that now exists with or without evolution
A mind that quantum computing now recognises
Memes flowing out in the ether faster than light
Without form or substance we’re merely a sprite
Yet we solve each unique conundrum as it arises
There may be no other reasonable conclusion
But until redeemed this finite lifespan is a curse
Yet a maintained ignorance can only be worse...
