Dark education’s scent,
Burning flesh, moral combustion,
Ashes suffuse the air.
The incisive probe of insight
dissects my life’s stratum of delusion,
the shards of shattered pretense
scatter as discarded debris,
the mind reminds itself to forget.
The blizzard of discontent blows,
my desolate heart turns
into a tree defoliated in wasteland,
far away from verdant thicket.
The sunburst day fades out fast,
dusk envelopes the twilight sky.
I don’t forget that the sun sinks
to rise again with resurrected radiance.
I wait for the heavenly hues of the new sun
to suffuse me with the gleam of sanguinity,
when from the dust of distress
I felt the Phoenix, concealed within so long,
rise in an instant for metamorphosis
in the divine dawn of regeneration.
Having long since ceased to weigh, measure and size,
with fetters of our past having been released,
we dwell in the heart, claiming bliss as the prize,
within this body-mind, by God to us leased
and as truth of existence we realise,
we cannot deny our soul presence is pleased.
As bliss mists suffuse form, we do not resist,
centred in love’s storm, by Divine Mother kissed.
Ah! red butterfly, with your
, glorious, majestic
wings flying around the
refulgent, fearless creek .
And a green bird is adorned with
ecstatic , blue aroma.
Oh, blue dove, break the unbounded,
unbreakable chains, to nestle
an unwavering felicity, in your dreamy
unchained land.
Ah! rambling roses stem the
stormy, tempestuous fetters
of the sun, from dominating
the celestial, overcast sky.
The invincible, dauntless lily gazing at
the enchanting dawn
shielding against the ashen ,
golden demise.
Oh, green dream always succumb
to the unfearing, splendid hill.
Ah! enraptured brook suffuse
the endless, unflagging dusk.
The trees absorb autumn’s color explosion,
paint the leaves with crimson and gold patina,
know the ballet of hues doesn’t last,
gets lost in the haze of winter air.
The gilded leaves leave the bare boughs
of the stripped deciduous trees,
dancing to the swan song of winter,
know revival is disguised in decay.
Spring returns with stimulation of resurgence,
new lustrous leaves sprout in tawny trees,
gloomy garden flourishes with flaming flowers.
The blizzard of discontent blows,
my wrecked heart turns into a defoliated tree.
The sunburst days fade out fast,
the twilight sky falls with depressing dusk.
I don’t forget that the sun sinks
to rise again with resurrected radiance.
I wait for the heavenly hues
to suffuse me with sanguinity,
inspiring the Phoenix concealed within
to rise from the dust of distress
in the divine dawn of regeneration.
Strumming along to a troubadour's lament
tears pool and flow while I press
the strings playing out the notes
forcing myself as
I struggle to forge forward
overcome with a sorrow beyond sorrows
and a grief with no relief
Through the rhythm of the music
my heart relaxes
the timing, the tempo
measured with intimate design
the lyrics vibrate softly
streams of colorful patterns
hues of indigos and yellows
suffuse my mind
resonate within and through me
soothing the jarring cacophony
unblocking the dark kaleidoscopic roots
strangling my bright spirit
and writhing aspiring soul
It’s times like these
I know I’ll be calmed
as I cradle my guitar
and let the tears fall and wash away
this incessant tempestuous scourge
with the prayerful affirmations
It's time to put it away
rest its strings
along with the gnawing merciless
uncertainties
Whilst shrouded in dark dungeons of deep despair,
in monk mode, soul choosing therein to be still,
plunges deeper into the void, as a dare,
feeling, not thinking, surrendering its will,
astonished to see light flicker through the air,
even as bliss magnetism begins to trill.
As wafting scents sublime suffuse feeble form,
pristine presence is swept away in love’s storm.
Slow seduction, concealing and revealing,
joy of union and pang of separation,
a joy ride through time, delight so appealing,
game divine of polarity rotation,
reviving resplendent rapture freewheeling,
is what but God with us in conversation?
Breathe in, oh hermit, each life breath in surprise,
in childlike wonderment, beholding bliss rise.
Of all the colors He could choose
to with the natural world suffuse
God chose to fill the earth with green,
that makes the forests so serene.
I am amazed that so much green
does not create a boring scene.
Instead, green glades gladden the mood
and furnish sights on which to brood.
Green calms the body and the mind
relieving stress of every kind.
God’s gift of green, He offers free,
to foster health for you and me.
Eating the veggies that are green,
can reduce fat and make you lean.
Green smoothies are healthy to drink,
If you are fat, they’ll help you shrink.
The shades of green in nature’s space,
reveal a wise Creator’s face.
So, when by nature you are awed,
wonder, and worship her wise God.
Ethereal bliss mists suffuse my form ~
I surrender, swept away in this storm
Ethereal bliss mists suffuse my form ~
I surrender, swept away in this storm
I claim Holy Spirit as my true Self ~
As I walk, the path appears by itself
As I be to become, with pure love one ~
Heart radiates light of the central sun
Oh worthy hermit, simply pause the cause ~
Melding with silence, obeying God’s laws
“Silence is the bliss vivifier ~
Exhume ego cravings in the fire”
- quote by poet
mind searches for a metaphor
a shadowy symbol esoteric
deepening dark delusion
vibrancy of pristine presence
beholds from the vast void
need for bliss transfusion
staid silence sets into motion
a sublime ethereal vibration
that we recognise illusion
subtle sensations suffuse form
imbibed if heart be tranquil
with Holy Spirit fusion
in the inner sanctum of heart
where all opposites dissolve
we embrace the sacrednesses
breathing in fragrance sublime
as bliss mists suffuse our form
ushering time stretched peace
we sense soma nectar dripping
through hidden conduits within
illuminating our energy grid lines
wooed gently by bliss magnetism
spine a seamless band of light
connected to medulla and crown
dipping down over bridge of nose
over front dividing body into two
manifesting an ethereal cool heat
sun and moon in lovers embrace
around with in-form nodes orbit
with the toroidal heart pulsating
celebrating the dance underway
in the midst of being-ness as such
we hear a call asking us to hasten
to perform a mundane daily task
so we play out our role as ordained
thus flowing in vibrant nonchalance
I raised my hand and said ‘it is enough’
For far too long I have been traumatised
No longer welcome are thoughts crass and rough
I refuse to live a life compromised
With thoughts rested, ego cravings are slain
Habit patterns of old too fade away
Living in the now, I’m a child again
To the rhythm of my soul, I gently sway
I drive but without a rear view mirror
Spontaneity is my middle name
Life is what it is, the truth is clearer
Give it any name but I’m not the same
Bliss mists suffuse form as magic of love ~
Dewdrops of God’s grace pour in from above
Don't pardon non-payment of dues.
Check what in your account accrues;
I'll be here to assist with clues;
Don't folks leave to a thing abuse...
For all school Bursaries no dews,
When parents vow it shall be ruse
Later, you'll find out it's no use
Starting a thing that clashes brews
Choose a fine time for unpaid dues
With secret joy these crooks suffuse
Sometimes, an all-night play of blues
When your blind sympathy you use?
The path is simple, walk on it
Erasing desires, bit by bit
Embrace and release, flow with ease
God's grace takes us to the summit
Demons of mind, we need not please
Simply flow like the morning breeze
Love alone's real, wisely choose
Let now cravings of ego cease
Succumb not to lower mind's ruse
Life's a dream, we can never lose
Find out the truth of who we are
Feel how bliss mists, our form suffuse
All's within, not somewhere afar
Our soul's light is like the North Star
To know the truth, simply be still
There's no need to struggle and spar
Surrender fully to God's will
For pure hearts, voids within soon fill
We are enabled by God's grace
Thus easy is ascent uphill
