Third eye to crown, a seamless whole,
connected with the spine,
each node within playing its role,
by choosing to align.
The staff of power glows
and soma nectar flows,
along pathways God knows.
Realm of renown ~
Third eye to crown
("I of the Beholder," 2014, original pen and ink)
This world is nothing
If not an allegory
For a shimmering mirage,
A riddle wrapped in a mystery
Inside an enigma,
Reified into everything
We know and trust.
But I can assure you
When all we seas is troubled
The sanest way
To navigate
Is with both a healthy dose
Of skepticism and humor.
With these in hand
The Great Absurdity
Will thus open.
(12/19/25)
As a little boy, I was amazed by the shining stars and tried counting them,
Wished to pick them like pebbles and gem,
Getting older, I ceased to count but interact with these citizens of the galaxies,
In their brightness, I knew that the stories about the creator and the creations were not fallacies,
And when I am no more,i pray thee,the creator that my soul become one of the stars in the sky,
That I may be, to my younger generation, their third eye.
As I open my eyes as I go through even further,
I see through all of their lies as I enter the ether.
I awaken to the truth being we can all live together.
“third eye blind”
obviously
since it’s
right in
front
of you
you can
not see your
own eye
ball
my third eye whisked my soul to Cairo
I had an eagle’s view of the pyramids
tasted grittiness of the sand on my tongue
camel sat and pondered my arrival
old Egypt is mystical and ethereal
sand birds accepted me as one of their own
we flew together over pharaoh’s tombs
I was home! I was home! I was home!
Whispers linger on wings
of butterflies
revealing
hidden worlds buried deep
in the truth
of each moment
Leaving reality unraveled
discovering wild notions of self
left locked
in dark recesses
of the mind
Seeing echoes
strange vibrations
third eye
no longer blind
Like stepping into a mud puddle
falling through
fully inverted
Piercing the veils
dripping
a prism of colors
aware and awake
inside
Humbled
by the experience named broken
stripped
of egos
pride
Whispers
of fluttering wings
are all that remain
of you
on the other side
Deep into the forest I tread,
Nothing along but a sense of dread.
The gloomy canopy
Of the spectral gigantic trees
Block the clear sky,
Led solely by
The unblinking third eye.
Lost amidst bewilderment,
Blindfolded by the guileful semblence.
Darkness misleads the way,
Wolf hunts in a deer veil.
There is woven a web of lies,
But Allurement is yet to overwhelm
The unblinking third eye.
A path made of thorns,
There is blood trail all along.
The smell incites the beasts,
Lurking around to prey upon.
Every moment, a wrestle to live or die,
Yet accompanied by
The unblinking third eye.

Unblinking Third Eye
Unblinking third eye!
The serene sublime soul shines
watching mind and brain,
giving errand to entwine
emotion and ambition.
Unblinking third eye!
sends rays piercing mind-brain
guarding and guiding
on action-interaction
directing for unison.

Chakra midst the forehead; way to spiritual empire;
Symbol of complete consciousness and ethical umpire;
Disposition of enlightenment; corporeal world;
Integral unity; angelic wisdom within furled...!
Myths speak of Lord Shiva comprehending through his third eye;
He could annul ignorance; see yonder limits of sky;
The mystical clairvoyance is on; inner sight glazes;
Purple splendor like Amethyst; wisdom within blazes...!
Single-mindedness, precision, inspiration, insight,
Unblinking third eye is continually glowing light;
Perceiving the world sacredly; connecting to cosmos;
Within ever-shining divinity it does engross...!
Abolishing dubiety, vagueness and skepticism,
Uprooting adverse weeds of purposelessness and pessimism;
Gives coherence, assiduousness, spontaneity,
Leads to endless bliss; merging with eternal deity...!

Magnetic connect,
select and effect,
as of heart’s yearning
and desires burning.
Vibrational touch
sans mind’s thought flow crutch,
enabled by grace,
pierces veil of space.
No jigsaw puzzles
mire, as love nuzzles
core of our being,
for direct seeing.
Yet it’s all in vain,
since boon becomes bane.
Why’d we wish to see
lust, pride and envy?
Each realm or domain,
in timeless time’s slain,
being but desire,
of our heart afire.
Mind, body, third eye;
they all make soul sigh,
for we’re now weary
of thought forms dreary.
Every instrument
must be decadent
to secure release,
that we flow with ease.
Source of every thought
is ego begot
or desire of soul,
wishing to feel whole.
Thus, when we let go
of this dream world’s flow,
as our soul’s end game,
we become the flame.

my consciousness removed
picking me up from the floor
where my emotions became
a formative liquid gliding down
my limbs i awakened to your
false promises false doctrines
I opened mine eyes to blindness
covenant secrets i opened my
third eye exposing your untimely fate
you plotted for me i never admired
the unseen the invisible i truly needed
to remain naive to your wild uncanny
empty gestures I saw you rattling my
innermost peace I moved over aimlessly
only to discovery I'd awakened to self
eyes wide open my third eye
vibrant aware an yet I chose to
indulge you in false pretense
losing myself again into the
channels of disbeliefs simply
to believe you were real
knowing full well you were
an empty space a glance
on my journey to peace
I saw you there again
Third eye blends currents hot and cold
For spherical vision
Ascent to crown, by pure hearts bold
As God did envision
To awaken here now
All we do is allow
Soma nectar to wow
Bliss sigh
Third eye
