Short Stirrings Poems

When I look into your eyes
I see the stirrings of spring
I feel all the imaginings
Of my soul
Incredibly unfolding...

Stirrings of pleasure,everywhere...
perceptions of imagination
outlined,a coloured conformance
dissolve overtones into a form of words....

koel’s song
so soothing
uplifts heart

the crow’s caw
so jarring
but why so

does contrast
not enhance
soul’s stirrings

Blurred distortions,smeared stirrings
put aside to make an extract in
filaments of primal abstractions.
Restless movements dripping,drop
by drop into pure fields of bliss...

Epigram #59:  

STIRRINGS


Metaphors in sure rhymes
Stirrings tinge journey chimes
Expound rough space and time

Noel

Amalgamated emotions, like good wine,
blendings for intensified taste.
Christmas stirrings of affection, greed and piety,
great nose, rich savor, but bittersweet aftertaste....

we mindfully pause the cause
of the slightest stirrings
arising from volition
in as a desire
of our heart
before it manifests
as an ego thought form
thus dwell in a bliss continuum...

Listen to poem:

he rose from ashes
with a trace of renewed hope
adjusting to the idea

that maybe

maybe some day
he'd be ready
to make new memories

It would just be better
If the drugs didn’t work
And beg for forever
I’ve seen good men go down
I’ve seen bad men start over
And find that peace
Deep down inside
Like the kiss of a lovers
Stirrings in my heart...

Stirrings
Feral

They rise
Within

Lower
Instinct 

Do we 
Allow

Indulge
Body

Or pause
Looking

At source
Seeing

All that
That is

Being
But one

At play
Here now

say your piece
in a gentle flow
that the reader’s
heart feels aglow

beauteous bubbles 
soft stirrings surface
that vast void be held
in warm embrace 

say your piece
melodious emotion
as an effervescence 
of love’s magic potion...

since small bread crumbs stick to our fingers
we must choose a place to dispose them
where birds or ants may enjoy a bite

borrowing wisdom from the heart of God
by pausing awhile in the vibrant void
such stirrings of love arise within...

My heart often whispered  
Words which I could not say – 
Wish my stirrings reach you 
Upon some fateful day. 

Should I fail this missive 
Before am ground to dust, 
Know heavens will reach it – 
To you sweetheart – I trust.

sensing strange stirrings of angst buildup
casting an ominous shadow of gloom
we pause the cause of contraction 
that rapture within may zoom

awareness thus self-aware
resolves conflicts in the heart
the core of our being always free
causes bliss ignition within to start...

a child’s love
is the love that’s born
to soar away …
and while we may
surrender our grasp to
grant them leave -
to press their precious
wings upon the wind
and chart a bearing their own,
we, in all our most
eager stirrings,
will never
ever …
let them go.

Thirst for love aflame in our heart
Erst stirrings of lust receded
Burst of bliss each moment does start
First things first, lower mind weeded

Residual attachments fade
Central funnel within aglow
Brutal clear truth; call spade a spade
Miracle dawns on hearts mellow

Labor Day

A day recalling

Past doing and achieving..

And demanding of decency..

Working and supporting

Abundance speaking..

Ideal colorings bringing

Nostalgic happiness..

Enter the pandemic

With stirrings and fear..

Yet..perhaps pointing to

Our unknown Livelihood:

Abundance unbounded......

sun through window
birds in chorus
touch of sheets
dreams linger
thoughts about my love
life’s fortunes
longing to poem
longing and appreciation
quiet beginnings
longing and appreciation
longing to poem
life’s fortunes
thoughts about my love
dreams linger
touch of sheets
birds in chorus
sun through window

concepts suggest preferences
but the truth is unapologetic
manifesting within form
magnetic electricity
which we receive
with gratitude 
and yet
our identity
is disconcerted
at the transmutation 
and so ego creates a ripple 
recognised, cajoled, sublimated
to align its stirrings with divine will...

~ Stirrings of Spring ~

  a bright-eyed bud 
  on a mulberry bush

  a robin's chirping 
midst the melting slush

  fresh tulip leaves
push up through the earth

All these, to pangs of love 
  in my soul, give birth

Soulful stirrings relentlessly calling
Spiritual growth need not be stalling
What use is all mindful which lacks to impart
Survival of humans from love in our heart?
How precious this is and not what we say
Awakened by truth to share not delay
To nurture ones soul connecting all others
We as prime people are legendary lovers....

resplendent in our light
we are always complete
stirrings of desire that arise
have nothing to do with us
being but cravings of ego
related to transient identity

in this knowing we dwell
both in bondage and yet free
having chosen limitation 
we feel fierce winds of duality 
being however immune
knowing eternity glows within...

Vet what you write,
Indulge clear mind;
See how you cite,
Ink precious finds;
One by one see,
New ideas glow.
Mind comes to be,
You frame the show.
Verse in cheer's voice,
Etch a swift string;
Ripe fragrant choice,
Stirrings that sing;
Embrace soul poise,
Soothe despite noise.

Spring ushers new life
Stirrings in all hearts
Lamp of love is lit 
Eyes softly beckon
Throbbing bliss glistens

Endearing touch
Love intimate
Impulse primal
Divine union

The Gods smile
Approving
Tenderness

New life
Clear light

Dawns
