Solidity Poems

Impurity

Impurity

Where is the solidity of purity?
Where is the moral of solidity?
And the conservatism of life?

What do I see on the train at night?
Almost naked very young women.
The world has turned upside down.

Spirituality has disappeared from life.
The flesh pursues the soul, and light.
Women are more magnetic in long skirts.

Light of Lights

Light throbbing in the heart of darkness 
Shakes its density and solidity 
Dawn lengthening towards morning
Mops up darkness slowly
Shadows vanish
In its brightness  
It rubs them off the bodies 
Of men and furniture
Lion, camel, orangutan and tiger;
Light focused on cave 
Clears the obscurities  
Light of reason removes 
The stumbling blocks of superstition  
Light of knowledge conquers ignorance
Light of conscience deals with narrowness  
Pushing it towards broadness and righteousness 
Light broadens the narrow space of the heart
Leads it towards benevolence 
Pride and prejudice, niggardliness vanish  
With the white purity  
Of the effulgent Divine light 
The light of lights!  
It hovers round us
Flashes with higher consciousness 
In search of us groping in the dark
Near us comes it giving chance to embrace 
Sure it is that we move pulled towards it 
Let that light grace us towards fulfillment.

To See the Other Side

To See the Other Side

The mountain boldly looms, impeding my ambitions.
My stature dwarfs to accept these preconditions.
My prestige cowers and independence shatters;
There is no solidity in my appearance.
The fixture mocks my character’s unravelling
Of a fleeting, hysterical montage weeping,
Defiantly cursing God and parents, cursing all.
“Cajole me!” I cannot climb, and so I will crawl.
Brush this monstrosity away from my vista,
This horrid rock that curtains my soul’s perspective.
“Remove it for me!” Let me see the other side;
If it’s not good, then show me another direction.
Mellow the view and let compassion be reflected.
“Let me breathe!” This isn’t the life I envisioned.

Superman

Water beneath bridges is always made to move 
below the penumbra of our blessed moon. 
She flows freely through the mouth of its enclave  
taking with her every notion of solidity; 
I stand here firm as a rock watching her pour herself out 
she slows my senses as she extinguishes my 
burning thoughts, and makes me think of  
Superman !

Zen Mode

do we feel the breeze 
or solidity of earth
with gratitude 
and trust

each breath 
a gift from God
did we say ‘thank you’

For Grandpop

You were the epitome of strength and solidity
The whole world you brightened, not just mine
Your stories were told with unmatched lucidity
Though the laughter and fear would entwine
We all saw, we all knew the worst could come
But you smothered the pain with a smile each day
You called me beautiful, gave me courage and then some,
But no amount of courage could make you stay.

I’m broken. My heart hurts. Goodbye.

Safety

I grew up with solidity in my safety. 
I would say no to drugs.
Look both ways when crossing the street.
Practice stranger danger.
I was a smart child.
I knew my rights from wrongs, until wrong reached out its hands and grabbed mine.
The hand of a child, a father, a man, a woman. 
Took the hand of a human born sinless.
The hand of a saint not yet tainted.

Zen Mode

negating our solidity
we wish to vaporise
wherefrom comes the pull
that propels us to feel full
what a joyride
with God inside
as silence layers silence
in a rapture continuum

Easy Breezy

The solidity
of identity
with senses and mind
is designed to bind.

Save coming undone,
nothing need be done,
which means stop thought flow
in staid stillness slow.

Sans thought who are we
or without body;
who else but God's light
and bliss beats delight?

When heart's our centre,
we feel love enter
and enliven form
by magnetism warm.

God resides within,
so let us go in
imbibing His grace
at an easy pace.

I Want To Run

I ran for a long time. 
And from alot of different things. 
And you can be running and not even know your running. 

My whole life was a sprint away from pain. 
My family called me so strong.
They applauded my solidity. My stability. My reliability. 
She'll never let us down. It's a little awkward now.

Because I did let them down.
And I'm not strong. 
But I am fast. And I know how to run. And I know how to hide things away in a special folder.
 For later or never. 
But mostly never.

I haven't faced the things I'm afraid of. 
Spent 22 years hiding. 
Never daring to open those folders because frankly my memory of them was gone.

But now they're open. 
And I see myself again. 
And I've stopped running.
And I felt my pain.
And I will continue to feel it 
And it's gonna hurt.
Deeply.
Bring it on.

A Threatening Wonder

Wonderful

And threatening

Those stories

Of wholeness

Appearing

Without the

Solidity and 

Certainty of

You or me..

Which as the

Story goes on

Was never

Not this way..

A threatening

Wonder 

Leaving us

Seemingly

On edge..!!

Wind's Might

Colors of wind blow, scents I breathe in follow
Strong winds rushing below, under my body they flow
Soft blows circle around me, gentle breeze mesmerize me
Shades of wind complement day and night, 
their beauty and solidity keep me bright!

Read

Read
Trees (solidity presenting)
Fluttering leaves
The light kissed plants merry with the wind free and clean
The rain stream glimmering to
a speckled burst of sun
Gentle easy rolling chuckle of
The sighing creek
Uncluttered sea green
Ah read the ripple (and if you hanker success that day, smell the dirt)
Read
The people prevarications (attendant chicanery) digitally respirating goofed on technology / hope's dilution on endless extension
Read
The blank vista
Cloud proclamations and
Twilights gold riddled clarification
That shall permit languishing

Books and songs have been my
Life's blood
But then it is just schmo/mooks mouthing off
Read
The perfect view point
To watch the world go
**** up

Soak up your/ time / space /
Up to
This eventual farewell / for now /

A Poetic Kiss From a Lifelong Fan

i am a fan of yours
lifelong
i am star struck when i see you
when you autograph my heart,
i get through each day with ease
i melt to solidity when you pray for me
i melt to solidity when you teach me a new way to Love
before you, i knew nothing about everything
now, i know something about all
your knowledge of self inspired my knowledge of self
i enjoy every kiss with pen in hand
after each kiss, you give another special kiss to my left hand
God Went Diamond Today Al Always
i am a fan of yours
lifelong
