Subtler Poems | Examples

how destiny unfolds

before enactment of an event on earth
creation occurs in a subtler domain
call it what we will; it’s there our will takes birth
like blessings from heaven falling down like rain
so what this deep truth is, once we here unearth
ego spawned fears and desires are to rest lain 
for we know that we’re one with the universe
navigating life with no need to rehearse

Congratulations are premature

“We are almost there but not quite ~
Not yet graced with spherical sight”
      ~ quote by poet


Intermediate truths whence known,
in as seen because we have been
to subtler realms denied to most,
but it’s not yet wisdom full blown,
since karmic slate is not wiped clean,
last mile to heaven, yet to coast.

Wisdom downloads and divine light 
are offerings of grace imbibed
and perhaps we have pierced the void
but we have not garnered clear sight,
though cravings of ego have died,
soul’s not yet pure and unalloyed.

Allow bliss mists to make ingress,
without self-appraising progress.

Zen mode

today it is the turn
of the tip of our nose
to take up pole position
no node is higher or lower
all act as a seamless whole
as magnetism becomes subtler
although there remains no seeking
it cannot be denied identity celebrates
benedictions of grace enlivening our form
as the dance of delight continues unendingly

meanwhile a gentle warmth spreads in our heart 
touch of God as He cradles soul in His loving arms

restless spirit

empowered 
to shape illusions 
we frolic about
in dreams within dreams
until reaching 
point of exhaustion 

silence infuses
rapture of magnetism 
to which we then
get addicted
and so secretly seek
the enlivening bliss current

in timeless time
bliss gets embodied within
an ever present heartbeat of love
which we then take for granted
as an attribute we own
reverberating in permanence 

it is clear we continue to invoke 
subtler layers of vibrations
slowly assimilating what we imbibe
shape shifting like a chameleon 
that presence stripped of ego imprints 
its unique footprint in the void

Iridescent luminescence

Power to invoke aesthetic delight,
is found in cave of heart, betwixt bliss beats,
teleporting soul to zenith like height,
love’s refrain that unendingly repeats.

Subtler than the subtlest scent to us known,
God’s elixir sublime enlivens form,
revealing deep truths, to us alone known,
soothed by magnetised mists, both cool and warm.

Slowing down life’s pace, we garner God’s grace,
felt as light radiating from our core,
holding pristine presence in close embrace,
bliss that leaves heart begging for an encore.

In timeless time as we become the flame,
endless bliss rapture is our claim to fame.

High fidelity

the image was distorted
because the canvas was contorted 
and so to set things right 
we entered staid silence, becoming the light

now with the vast void, having become our home
from a centreless fulcrum, resounded gong of Om
the that cosmic vibration, all pervading
an ocean of life, in which all souls are wading

subtler, gentler over time the sound became
ego vaporised, leaving no desires to tame
rapturous bliss cascaded in mind-body urn
wherein our soul presence chose to willingly burn

surfing the bardo, on choosing to let go
we imbibed direct wisdom, very few on earth know
and as music of the spheres plays by itself
flame of Christ consciousness glows as light of Self

Subsequent to grace descent

a thousand nodes in the head ovoid
light up all at once humming in unison
emanation of bliss manifests as cool heat
subtler than the subtlest magnetism thus far
these luminous implants pulsate without cessation
as inner polarity of senses savours boons of God’s grace
osmotically absorbed within each pore of feeble form
as it is transmuted gradually into living light of Self
perceived by presence in slow motion beauteous 
revealing how seeds of love implanted blossom
magically thus in time dissolved staid silence

Inner Wisdom

. for public domain

Inner Wisdom

We need not attend outward images only;
a recessed feeling of joy may do,
viewing subtler yellows of sunflower petals.

We need not shackle ourselves to metals.
Cold hard steel, rusty cobalt blue,
chain outward senses from inner glory.

We are made to live more than the physical story.
We need to address inner feelings askew.
Their comings and goings fulfill some of us too.

Divine Paradox

Ceasing to size, vaporise,
that God we may realise;
simple but very few dare,
to become thus, self-aware.

Subtler than vast space unknown,
shines soul’s light, whence fears have flown,
pulsating within our core,
bursting forth through every pore.

Spiralling thoughts are inept,
so discard every concept,
that we walk around not blind,
for we’re not this body-mind.

Who we are, is living light,
always throbbing with delight
but mind cannot accept this,
that we are eternal bliss.

Ollie Octopus

Ollie Octopus could sure do some harm
  With each one of his poisonous arms ~
     He flashed his tentacles
     Nearly identicals ~
  I hear females fall for his subtler charms

Suspicion Fell On the Butler

Murder was served at the table.
The fellow is dead, not stable.
Page turned, nothing could be subtler -
Suspicion fell on the butler.

It was the salt and peppering -
It’s clear his oversteppering
was found out this night…all knives out.
Stone cold - the butler gave a shout.

The poison sealed the rim of glass
to coup de gras the loudmouth bass.
Another page was turned, we’d learn
the butler’s dead - a great concern!

The guests, now accuse each other,
but one by one they fall. Bother!
Who hates them all? Who’s caused this strife?
One’s still standing - the butler’s wife!

The reader, glares at the writer,
declares it was a nail biter.
She tells the author to drink up.
He hopes it is a loving cup.

They Walk Among Us

We
have met
shining souls,
who affirm truth,
having been and seen
domain of love and light;
not once but time and again,
sharing with compassion visions
of subtler realms above this earth plane.
