hoping the coma will break

the bird climbs higher until

Urge of the ego
It is our reflex instinct
Noose around our neck

Thomas,
Sobful rarely
Over mature reflex,
Proudly being labeled mother.

To use or not to use?
Choices, choices—choose!

lest dreams turn to dust

How did I know the show was live
from such reflex I could not hide

Just a humble house fly
why did I deserve to die...

is our reflex instinct
as yet not quite love inked
if not, then hermit, think
wake up now; blink, blink, blink

your sound echoes 
when you're not around-
muscles tense- flex- i
am a reflex- all touch
is a trespass- stings-
breaks my wings- i don't
feel fear- i hold it
near & dear...

Nature knows that smell forbids.
Aphids avoid marigolds.
Match for a reflex magnet
in your berry patch.

differentiated perception
caused by eons of conditioning 
asserts itself as base reflex instinct
from which no doubt we rebound
but not before recognising 
we are as yet bound...

Even as the heart keeps on ticking
and breath by grace gently flowing
let us check if our reflex orientation 
is in resonation with love pulsation 

in an unbroken continuation

Poo Poo Platter

Five dogs in a yard is a tight fit
when you’re bending over to scoop it
the gag reflex triggered
much sooner than figured
thus adding a lunch to the poo pit

immense
on the surface,
massive
in depth
yet 
 if   overblown..
malevolent:
a tortuous
      reflex..
..allusive
    as mercury
to grasp:
a threat
      perhaps
if
assembled
and paraded
sans
   modesty...

Our reflex instinct
Where is it rooted
Unthinking response
Is it innocence
Are we sleep walking

We contemplate
Employ free will
Our thoughts distil 
Let love elate

When awake
Or asleep
Where are we

Is yet
Stillness 

Void

Cutting them into small pieces 
nibbled words will go down smoother;
Chew, your gag reflex decreases 
cutting them into small pieces;
With honesty choking ceases,
at times you need to speak slower;
Cutting them into small pieces 
nibbled words will go down smoother....

A splash of gold
lines the doors to her soul

Intelligence burning
like a flashlight
through a keyhole
into a dark room.

Wrinkly nose reflex
when you score a hit
and your minds sing together

Her voice her voice her voice
captured, a poor portrait

of a goddess....

Reflex instinct, low and feral
Brutal and undistllled
Mindful cognition spherical 
Sees within bliss instilled

End idle mind chatter
Love alone does matter
Rose petals we scatter

By love hues inked
Reflex instinct

Reflex instinct, warm empathy
Embrace nonjudgmental 
Heart glows in continuity
Behold God’s miracle 

Lower mind falls away
Bliss throbs are here to stay
Pulsating night and day

With love hues inked
Reflex instinct

in the human experience 
where ego delusion manifests
we oft may need to sit on our hands
upon storms arising when earth life tests 

the teaching is known but not yet ingrained 
thus repeated immersion is needed
our reflex response says it all
will to God not ceded...

Earth life a gift, to feel love’s pulse
Within each vibration
Compassion our reflex impulse 
Each breath celebration

We shine as God essence 
Soft white luminescence 
Cognised by innocence 

Float not adrift
Earth life a gift

One Vienna says my poems are complex.
She ought to know this is a reflex
That I cannot surmount,
Of styles strange and oddities profound.

Like Prof. Wole Soyinka of Nigeria,
I write not for the lay who poetry fear
But the masters to whom this art is dear,
And who the language of gods revere....
