Premium MemberSat Cit Ananda

Self-existent consciousness, substratum of existence
May, if you will, be taken to be God’s heart beat
Thus between objects there is no distance

Core of our being is always bliss replete
Which we search and strive for yet know not
Lost in thought spirals, we feel not magnetic heat

Sensing we’re spirit not form, here to be self-taught 
In time stretched

Premium MemberPicturesque Sands

Always hop on a chance to jet-set,
travel as far and as often as you can.
I never want to have postcard regret.

Stay mindful you don't need a plan,
This is not always the easiest task. 
Spontaneous adventures? I'm a fan. 

Wearing a sunscreen lotion's mask
I'm ready to indulge in far off lands. 
Under foreign sunshine I long

Where Are You Now, Gloria Dubbins?

Gloria Dubbins - not much of a name,
but trust me on my judgment, gentle reader;
in terms of Beauty, she was Hall of Fame.

We’re talking – let’s see – nineteen seventy-two,
but I’m the keeper of the Gloria Flame,
and still to me she’s better, and more true,

than all your Taylor Swifts or Amber Heards.
She did the things

Premium MemberSavagery Sings

The world alone is making me smile
left to marvel at its natural wonder.
Glowing out loud is always in style. 

On a level high above thunder,
I fly on the sunshine in my veins.
My label’s that mach five number.

When caged by what society feigns,
many forget the important things.
If you fumble? Innate wisdom remains. 

Wasted on the fury

JUXTAPOSED

JUXTAPOSED

Standing either side of a door that is closed
One might feel the other, just an inch away
As two hearts that appear to be juxtaposed

Just a whispered word, that the other might say
Would be enough, despite the obstructed view
Perhaps a touch must wait for another day

Feelings both felt and expressed, are ever true
Love permeates even the

Premium MemberGod and Self

Self alone is, at the singularity point
Self-existent light beyond space and time
Renewing itself within itself, It itself does anoint

This Self as luminous heart, intuits love’s chime
Creating within itself a wave of pure intent
Fulfilled instantly, as is the paradigm

God, a golden sphere, grants consent 
The embryonic Self plunges into His heart
Now love enabled, exuding an ethereal

Premium MemberTime Writes in Rhythms of Light




there were times when I did not understand him
times when I fought with my heart, to remember
time would not forget the days that were so grim

it wouldn’t be that long, just before December
he would tell us that love had come to his life
years after this, I’d see that stirring ember

sparks of hope divine to heal

Premium MemberForte Hanky Panky

Bound so tight with your silken love
tends to excite that wild beast within.
The dark of a crow and light of a dove.

This collaboration I’m eager to begin,
you leave me breathless and sweating.
I fall hard for that overtly masculine grin.

Your wet growl leaves me anticipating,
it echoes the tempo that haunts me.
Don’t say this is a game

Premium MemberTightrope of Her Abandon


Hebrews 13:5 “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

(fiction like a chocolate chip cookie - with morsels of truth)

he left my mother, when I was just a child
she was left broken, with fearless abandon
lessons came

INTERVIEW WITH AN ANGEL

INTERVIEW WITH AN ANGEL

Way back then, Noah had clearly read the signs
Here and now, so very few of us are left
I’m Goliath, frontman for the Philistines

Without my trusty visor, I am bereft
But I am very tall, and not a small ‘un
With his sling, David did seem to be so deft

There are a lot of rumours

HAPPILY DISCONTENT

HAPPILY DISCONTENT

One may wish to own a JW Turner
The art of art is the skill of knowing
And recognising every good earner

The online market for art is growing
Yet it is more my greed I must quell
One needs a real space for showing

With my few fake Masters left to sell
I found a gallery, as credibility counts
For a

Premium MemberProclamations


Love stirred my soul, rousing an aspiring fire
passions swelled, feelings exploded with delight
gentling hope and grace soared higher and higher

whispers of joy pour out stars across the night
stilling the shadows with songs of careful bliss
moon beckons to the spirit, glowing so bright

only God knows how I long for morning’s kiss
life reminds me why there are

Premium MemberAll we need to know

Wherefrom does arise that impulse divine,
which we deludedly claim as our own,
thus offerings of grace decline?

In the void of silence, we dethrone
wayward ego birthing fear and desire,
whence mellow and gentle becomes our tone.

Having consigned ego to the funeral pyre,
all that remains is presence aware,
radiating God’s eternal fire.

Recognise oh hermit, each thought as a snare ~
Call

Premium MemberTear Stained Music


Breath of light, casting shadows over the night
Soothing stars and moon in her gentle embrace
Hurling nervous sea against beaches so white

Gentling the surf with a calm time can’t erase
Cobalt sprays fall against the sandcastle reefs
Stirring wells of euphonious tones of grace

Mists of joy, glazing the trembling cloverleafs
Sunlight glow murmuring peace to the coastline
Sand dollar stories

Premium MemberAmerican Bauhaus

Surrounded by peeling wallpaper 
it’s a picture of provocation;
These holes tended to terrify her.

Spots that need so much renovation
must be rebuilt right down to the core;
There’s happiness in new construction.

You’ve got an idea what’s in store,
once the soul is restored to this house;
An antique knob attached to the door.

Enough beauty to instantly rouse
a blend called
