Premium Member Vicarious daydream

Toying with the summer breeze.
Free... not a care in the world.
Falcon circling among the clouds.

not wanting to be bearer of grim news ~ i’ve sought vicarious views 

said the reaper upon reflection ~ what would you use if in my shoes

Abattoir

Life the abattoir of emotions,
     create the corps that is the heart.
What donnybrook takes the tole?
Empathy, the vicarious plight,
     direct the cruel incorrigible start.

A Metaphor of Poetics

Living vicarious… 
  the most important attribute 
  of an effective Poet

Never consumed by your 
  subject
   —consuming it in verse

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)
          ‘Dedicated To Emily’

Vicarious

Two chairs stare from across the room,
leaning on each other like worn puzzle pieces,

mine, towards the front where I often
perch in anticipation of life, yours,

decidedly towards the right where
you lean in anticipation of me.

Premium Member Zen Mode

preachers practice not
vicarious knowing
of lower mind

collision of concepts 
dissolved in love
unifies truth

the void centric hermit
having imbibed bliss
is ever nonchalant 

dwelling in the heart

Video audio 
Vicarious living 
Voyeuristic addict
Vegetatively blissed 
Viewer discretion, right
Volume blasts to the max
Vexed neighbour calls with axe

Premium Member Ulladu Narpadu verse 28

As pure awareness, minus body-mind,
negating every thought and sensation,
leaving vicarious knowing behind,
our meditation being cessation,
we entwine with all of God’s creation.
Breath by breath holding steady our focus,
we search for God’s light along love’s locus.

Premium Member in simple words

silence enlivens existence
as all pervading
noumena birthing phenomena
by heart’s intent

our subjective awareness 
stripped of identity
radiates divine light
in incessant renewal

discarding all concepts 
each conditioned belief
and vicarious knowing
we transcend limitation
Form: Didactic

Immaculate Reception

Chants ranting
rants chanting
narcissistic voices
deliciously pounding

Vicarious words
devilishly dancing
choruses spewing
copious chords

Muses climax
narcotic pleasure
poets revel
feeling hypnotic drums

Poetic coitus
lend me your ear
cry havoc
the Virgin Mary is hear

Premium Member Ulladu Narpadu Addendum 165

Why would we strive to become who we are,
being simply the light that lights all lights,
here and now within, not some place afar,
felt as humming magnetism that delights,
banishing blackness of the darkest nights.
Relinquishing vicarious knowing,
in tranquil silence we keep on flowing.

Premium Member Feeling the Season

feeling like dancing on fluffy clouds of colorful petals inhaling the heaven scents as I imagine an autumn through my vicarious experience

My Advice

Mind not the past, not a thing can change;
You are unique, don't think it's strange.

As often as ever give love to all;
Don't be rude, that may be your fall.
Vicarious living- steer clear away
I know only you can lead the way.
Calm yourself, don't let life pass by
Every piece of advice- a hypocritical try.

Bindu, third eye, heart and crown glisten As we feel pulse of bliss beats quicken An enlivened spine and tingling eyes Teleports presence to new highs We care and therefore share Of such awareness self-aware Yet what use is vicarious knowing In being, becoming, we keep on flowing 20-January-2023

Another's Wasted Dream

Delay success for as long
As you can
Living up to an image
Will only cloud your vision
Stealing what you can least
Afford to lose
Dragging you into the illusion 
And myth
You have spent a lifetime 
Railing against
Dragging you into the
Vicarious trap
Of another’s false and wasted
Dream

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)

Premium Member Lost In Translation

third eye, crown and Bindu
burst forth in joyous dance
as toroidal heart witnesses
the enigmatic play underway

this slow motion bliss ignition
renews within by day and night
compelling mind to relinquish
all imagined vicarious knowing

an urge arises within to share
ineffable blissful wholeness felt
but language is merely symbolic
and the symbol is not the thing

The Dark Side Of, His Moon

Considering if we were a spirit; subjugated to endure as also, view...
These the darker side in night's, atrocities committed by many their life
Upon another's here amid humankind yet not only they, rather all of creation
Perdition it would somehow seem this vicarious vexation ? Derelict shame disgraceful
Beastlialities such dymanics; forging forcefully about her universe resounding; ectoplasmic.

To the Next Generation:

Eat me a ton of star bellies
on your grandiose trip to the Milky Way
and break off a hunk of the fluorescent moon
to burn spiral rings in your nap sack to glow
Lift up black holes and hula hoop swing
side stepping gravity's bowl with a wink
Leap onto tails of inflection's decree
and bring me the voice of the sun.

For through you vicarious living's begun
and I can't take my two eyes off you...

The Claiming Race

Fame means part of you
Maybe all of you
Belongs to someone else
Someone vicarious in their intent
Insatiable given their adulation
Proprietary, 
Eschewing personal risk or harm
Watching from the comfort
Of either praise or blame
They claim your soul like a 
Racehorse
When you win their hearts
Leaving your memory abandoned
 —when dissident odds prevail

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2015)

Premium Member Ulladu Narpadu Addendum 25

Assign not God a name, symbol or form
but rather recognise Him in the heart,
feeling His magnetism, loving and warm,
that in silence as God search we so start,
we will see Him on adding love to cart.
God, as the eye of our eye, is the source,
Who we merge with, without applying force,
when we drop all vicarious knowing,
remaining still, God guiding our life’s course,
our mood and mode blissful, gently flowing.

Premium Member Vanquish

Vivacious veins of hope

       Virus still spreading fear

                       Veering variably

                                               Voices warbled ill-use

                       Vaccination striving

         Vicarious breathing 

Vanquished foe valiantly

The 2016 Election

Heading for the next election,
Votes vied for by vicarious politicians,
Who are we all voting for?
Is it for their superannuation? Or,
Streamlining services to sway us,
Does Oz really need  such fuss?
We're walking on the winning side,
Let's have some more Hi-fives!
Debates due to direction,
Teen brain selfie obsessions,
These are our politicians, 
It's a short, amusing ride,
Someone pass vicarious pesticide!!!
