Short Volition Poems

She sipped my sense
took hold of my volition
walked all over me...

Sitting with stillness
seasons come without my help
Mother guides herself
grass grows flowers bloom birds sing
Nature Nirvana Rebirth...

Increased carbon dioxide emissions
  Fuel catastrophic climate premonitions

Though reductions based on volition
  Are toasted with suspicion...

Vixen, siren, temptress
Vitriol so disguised
Voracity compels
Veracity will hide
Volition kindly gave
Vindication is mine
Vampiric way of life...

Death
is hard to take
sometimes

but it’s not
like we 
ever had
a choice in the matter

It happens
of its own volition...

we can
collectively
show compassion to help 
the needy to uplift them from 
squalor;
they do not know why they suffer,
put in such condition,
not of their own
wishing!

subtle flickers of volition
betray our veiled agitation
spawned by urge of our lower mind
ego gripping us in its bind
anchoring us in stagnation

It's the sun's prerogative
whether to shine.
It's the moon's volition, 
to make our dreams sublime.
It's the stars discretion,
whether we align.

But to love you
is a choice all mine.

Primal and divine!...

accustomed to struggling and striving
we know not what is non-volition 
so sink in quicksands of mind
(with which we so identify
soul’s eternal presence) 
where we languish
lost in dreams
hypnotised

The Sneeze

We seem to act
Of our own volition..
Departing this place
Of our own volition..
Coffee..not tea..
Unquestioned choosing..
But does the simple sneeze
Unfurl the question:
Is there volition..?
Are all events really
Sneeze events...?...

Poet’s see beyond the cosmos
that’s why they’re revered
Poet’s leave the final time zone
past and future cleared
Poet’s bow to one volition
high above the clouds
Poet’s live in love’s reflection
— beauty to enshroud

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

Master of rendition
My volition not to compromise
Synthesize the power
Never willing just to pantomime

Know it when you see
The genius pouring forward cracking time
None can touch this ice-cold wording
Humble master patron mine...

Volition steering attention
Our actions of doership
Let currents divine gain traction
Making love our flagship 

In childlike wonderment 
Each breath astonishment 
Imbibe the bliss current

Poor option
Volition

Vow I take, triumph I foresee
Verbal promise, clear-cut, precise 
Volition has my guarantee
Values changed, new contempt for vice
Virtue's purpose is verified 
Vision refocused, clarified
Vacillation is absentee

Blossoms sway in the gentle breeze…
A benevolent sojourner 
Never to let them entirely still--
Same brightly colored blooms
Now, of their own volition
Turning toward morning sun,
But He is no mere Puppet-master
In a light-sense--
His strings the silk 
Of Freedom-gleams......

Of its own volition
the brain erases time,
to rearrange events,
or change truth;

an embarrassing moment,
a misspoken word,
cowardly act,
wrong decision,
missed opportunity,
or lost love.

If you could call back time,
you'd become a sieve,
and filter out
all the pain....

 She walks by, leaving a trace of scent 
 with her own volition and beauty 
 Gracing the soul with sedentary thoughts 
 of loveliness and charm 
 The rose is an emblem of God's love for us 
 she is always, on duty... ...

A cat pursuing mice
seems never 
to think twice;
an owl swooping on prey
shows no thought 
of delay--

Then enters man--
expressing volition, 
a higher moral ground
of conscious
contrition--
yet kills for sport
as well as nutrition…

Oh! on occasion
for God
and country…....

involuntary volition
yet signals bondage
so we remind ourselves
of our piquant dilemma 
moment to moment 
thereby dampening
attention oscillation 
until boundaries blur
head and heart concur
and identity disappears 

all then that remains
Is awareness self-aware

A clean slate onset
                          With the superb volition
                     That states out a provenance
 
                              Bring the best of you 
                       Assume the reins of your life
                   Allow the world know your worth

we must have forgotten...
the pyramid's foundation, rotten.
Physiological begets Safety.
shadowing the State of coercion, states thee.
opt-in by creation, opt-out, your expiration.
tread on me and my countrymen.
volition ours, to sunder friends?
participated.  
regulated.  
complied.
the time, overdue.
ask not what your country can do for you....

In years, the real tyrant in any country is gross bigotry 
It's like a rope that strangles the will to be free 
It's like a poison that kills the heart of one's volition 
It's like a potion that sways the whim of one's emotion
If on heaven's will I shall have the chance to live again 
I'll not choose to be born in a land  full of disdain
