spiralling-
the sense of madness
then flying,yet out of control....

Longing to sing like I am a siren drawing you in
Closer to me in the sea, spiralling downward to the centre
Of a whirlpool of love in the deepest of all the oceans....

Loving marriage,
Bitter divorce -
Spiralling down descending course 
To cold and tight from fond and keen,
Emptiness, heavy, in between.

contracting thought forms spiralling
strange habit this, trauma bonding
whilst choosing void of cessation
tranquil calm ushers elation
exiting ego spawned craving

..they swirl in swarms across 
the darkening 
skyline,

spiralling round the huge tree 
like a coiling 
vine;


they snuggle tight for the 
night at the 
canopy,

lansijang birds of Bohol 
doze off 
serenely.....

LEAVES

just one
spiralling

left behind by friends
eager to catch them up
to be swept up together

“this year’s leaf pile next year’s compost”

Cloudy,
A storm cloud comes in the horizon.
Thunder,
Rumbles as darkness settles.
Lightning,
Crashes with anger and rage.
Rain,
Downpours with power.
Tornado, 
Tears through a town. 
Sun,
Peeks through clouds.
Madness, 
Slow Spiralling....

Many are lost amidst this spiralling loss
Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters
Extensions to us in pandemic slaughter

When we've lost whom we love, it severs
But it's the many whom don't give track
Then be their 'Heaven's Hung in Black'...

Caught in the open
trapped in maya web
nowhere we may hide
from spiralling fear
borne of our ego

The hypnotist
offers no cure
no healer too
offers solace

In stillness 
calm silence
we abide

Gods love
Instils

Light

Humdrum encounters of aging:

I walk clouds in a vision of epiphany
glaring cavillingly at a world beneath me
peeling back scabs of failure
a negative spiralling albatross;
a wider perspective of clarity confronts 
“life’s too short for this crap  ”...

Images flash across the screen 
What does it all mean 
People dying 
Children crying 
Values lost 
Out of control 
Death nears 
Anger flares 
We are filled with such despair 
Peace is gone 
Hope is lost 
Mankind seems bent on destruction at all costs!...

hidden in plain sight
closer than our skin
spiralling thoughts blur
truth of existence
innate awareness

choosing to pause
the flow of thought
we abide in 
eternity

so simple
we connect
with the flow

clear light
then thus

dawns

Dark ferality
slow strangulation
spiralling desire
shrouding us in fear
of our own making

No cure in sight
we slip in gloom
shadows seem real
noose around neck

In stillness 
we embrace
love divine

Presence
then feels

Bliss

Shifty eyes, hidden agenda
Voice of conscience stifled
Endless desires, new addenda
Worthless objects rifled

Spiralling confusion
Dungeons of delusion
Until head-heart fusion

Our heart sighs
Shifty eyes

I'm a little bit curious
About the kind of wisdom
That brings understanding
The kind that brings peace
Which leaves joy in your soul
When life can be spiralling
Tedious but still beautiful at most sight
I'm just inquisitive about this hidden
 jewel called living...

Skyfall

Big massive piling machine hammers thumps huge steel 
iron girders into evil rancid ground. Tree spiralling behemoth rams 
dead tree stumps into bare earth to hold up falling cracked sky. 
Without them we’d be crushed dead. Empty heavy sky forces on me, us....

Spiralling around in pattered grooves
Oblivious to throb of bliss that within renews

Immersed in delusion discontent
Strangely yet hoping on for happiness permanent 

Go in oh hermit into the heart
In bliss as ignition within each moment restarts

Take heart in spirals 
Or be whirling in circles
Whatever the cycle
It depends on your view

We'll loop the loop
Synchronise our rotations 
Forever spinning
Just me and you

Circumference is measured
Time should be treasured 
Revolving in tandem
Or change to pursue...

Forgiveness undercuts the pain 
growing fruit beyond the brain’s 
ability to see in full.....
Spiralling a web of care 
that wipes away  
the hate in fear.  
Binding up a broken soul
forgiveness fills the gaping hole.
Derailing evil from its path,
forgiveness 
lightens up the heart....

Entangled w/ non-stop growing vines
Vibes of plum purple plants show signs
Of abominable hunger…from within…
Slithering like a serpent, frosty & thin
Twist & turn like a hurricane
Swirl & churn in vain…
Makes their victim grow insane
SPIRALLING without a sound,
Growing madly on from sky to ground…...

I venture forth in this wood unknown
Trembling inside this greenery overgrown
I trustingly advance each step foreward
Inching towards my fate unguarded
Lowering my gaze somewhat subdued
I spy my rainbow my future I view
Longing future wisdom spiralling notions
My lusty prelude to imagination enthrown!...

Neolithic stones
Majestic motions upward
Bathed in fairy prances
Ancients questioned the meaning
Of the skies above,
Many assuming they knew the truth
Pertaining to solar systems and solstices,
Those humans were created,
Along a perilous journey
That led them to Paradise
In ancient spiralling motions...
