Writing PoetryPoems may be simple, try writing a rhyme,
add some images to make it sublime.
Simple words may make meaningful phrases,
difficult words can turn into mazes.
You could write a Limerick, just for fun,
don’t forget a surprise before you’re done.
Write a nice Haiku, a scene of nature,
like flowing mountain streams with water pure.
A Sonnet would be nice...

Latent tendenciesvasanas or tendencies cage our soul
being the instincts to which we are bound
whence in stupor thus, our heart not feel whole
yet through consciousness correction, joy’s found
holding still focus in the vibrant void
witnessing the ebb and flow of urges
we’re then not by our impulses decoyed,
since light of true Self within heart surges
watchful awareness, breath by breath...

one predator, one quarry, interlaced.
He’s coming up behind her...

Risk And RewardWhat is risk if not an invitation
to break through our existing stagnation.
We have given up our precious freedom
and invited in a life of boredom.
Could coincidences in life be clues?
Are they hints, the direction we should choose?
Should we unleash the habits of our past?
Should we break them like chains, take risks at last?
Our fear...

RunawaysWhen your heartbeats drum their message of love.
My heart soars like the birds flying above.
As flashing thunder streaks across dark skies,
I will come swiftly, believe not their lies.
If any would stop me, my rage I’ll display.
Nothing or no one will stand in my way.
True love hath no captor, it must be free.
Our hearts and our...

From Here To EternityDripping dripping, the sound resounding
Like echoes abounding
Stronger stronger, louder sounding
My head is pounding
Throbbing throbbing the pain is increasing
Like a jack hammer never unceasing
Longing longing for the pains decreasing
Too much pain, I need the releasing
Like soft white clouds, floating in the wind
I feel the medication like a comforting friend
Thanks for the help, no hope I...

Our Path Full of Whispers, part 2(continued)
Sonnet for Richard and Elizabeth
Twice Wed, Never Tamed
In Hollywood, where gods wear mortal skin,
Their laughter roared and battles lit the screen.
Twice wed, twice razed, they let each storm begin,
And kissed with venom sweet and love obscene.
He drank her name, she drank to match his fire,
Their kisses sparked and turned to...

Our Path Full of Whispers, part 1Sonnet for Antony and Cleopatra
Two Empires Entwined
He gave up Rome to chase her scented air,
A queen whose kiss could rouse the Nile to sing.
Her throne was gold, but love her finer snare,
And he, ensnared, abandoned crown and ring.
They met as equals, each with pride unbowed,
Yet love turned war when passion...

Druidic MuseA slow and joyous path beneath the skies,
Earth holds me close in rooted ground each day,
While wind blows cloudy liquid dreams that rise,
Islands are adrift in clean clouds that stray.
You, wise young Druid, cloaked in ageless green,
Stand firm upon the soil where Nature dwells.
Limpid and true, your waters flow serene.
A gift you give when I...

A Good Sense Of Humor Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality
We look at life as a routine clown show,
Slipping on banana peels that we throw;
Clothing in mismatched socks of hope and sin,
Mirror laughs back with toothpaste on the chin.
We discover that joke requires balance,
Fixing the glaring lamp of limit's glance;
In slippers, we walk the tightrope to sink,
Accepting discord of life with a wink.
We...

Our LegacyAs obvious as it may seem,
Our higher life we must redeem.
To get full value, its true worth,
It’s not a given at one’s birth.
First acknowledged, then understood,
Overcome ego, become good.
Use your energy to create,
Our deeper thoughts our true estate.
To share the truth that we have gleamed,
Our higher self must be redeemed.
Legacy: our thoughts repeated.
Shows our life...

Structure of the universeThe first creation was the cosmic egg
Hiranyagarbha, that’s shaped like our head
All souls caged within it, for freedom beg
Taking endless births, till they’re by love led
Polarities balanced, bliss enabled
Life’s lessons learnt, we are from this egg hatched
As divine light which cannot be labelled
We’re the twice born, our aura’s glow unmatched
God dwells in each...

Celestial CyberspaceCyberspace, my blue astral projector
I'm not seeking new friends to entertain
I dwell in a big celestial sector
Cradled in great cool mists and northern rain.
Yet, from funny dark galaxies above
Comes bright celestial advice, kind and wise.
The Oak Grove beckons those whom nature loves
To stretch their wings where faery nature flies.
A faery soars through Cosmos, fierce and...

Blue Bindings AloftI no longer trust the vows of marriage
For years, Vikings have built mystical Runes.
We once soared forth in golden carriages.
Now every dawn returns our dreamy tunes.
A faery, I remain in vibrant flight.
A mystic born with Stardust and Cosmos.
My flight dreams transcend the mind's starry night
To realms where big truths and visions arise.
Handfasted once beneath the...
