They crest the white foam in perfect formation,
With purpose and strength they flap as they glide,
Fixated ahead in assured navigation,
Each trailing the other with nowhere to hide.
Then all of a sudden with no clear command,
They veer on some path and head for the sky,
Soaring the waves like a mischievous band,
Riding the thermals with a predatory eye.
No longer a pod but single torpedoes,
Spotting their quarry they launch with intent,
Diving at speed like rapacious mosquitoes,
To feast on that glimmering shoal now hell bent.
Again and again they dive to then surface,
Their sacks full of loot hidden from sight.
Transfixing, majestic, nature's true circus,
The curtain then falling as they once more take flight.
Florida's Pelicans, a marvelous sight,
Gregarious and cheeky with us so entwined,
Once hunted and culled as merely a blight,
Now in our hearts so fully enshrined.

Bliss enlivened magnetic pulsations
Playfully dance in energy pathways
Gripping us therein by night and day
Transfixing us in heightened rapture
Holy Spirit caresses each cell within
At first we thought all feel at we do
Then realised that it is not quite so
So we began affirming this knowing
But like Plato's allegory of the cave
We found but few who chose to pair
The path's easy; we cease thinking
Shifting from head to heart, feeling
Discarding every conditioned belief
Rekindling God's flame of love within
Recognising simple truth of oneness
Dance of polarities within our form
Entwined with flow of soma nectar
Teleports us to a bliss zone tranquil
Vibrant thus in world yet detached
We become here now the twice born

Soundless thunder engulfs form,
felt as a benign bliss storm,
transfixing our attention
in trance like meditation.
With single pointed focus
along the divine locus,
as bliss currents hold us awed,
we behold presence of God.
In this way, joy and wisdom
leads us straight to God's kingdom,
with no effort on our part,
besides adding love to cart.
So simple is God search quest,
for all that we do is rest,
resisting not that that is,
while we're being filled with bliss.

on a cold clear night
they huddle close together with
scorched fronts and icy backs
eyes reflecting the flames in ruddy faces
woodsmoke permeating hair and clothes
fine grey ash coating eyelashes
the huge fire consumes noisily
above glowing red eyed coals
racing tongues of flames blaze
in hypnotic sinuous movement
a flickering dance of orange gold yellow
a twister of smoke writhes upward
into the night sky
dragging sparks like stars inside it
the transfixing power of bonfire
a living breathing entity
dangerously thrilling
the primal part of man watches in awe

I or let’s say we, perceive outer form,
till feeling within, bliss magnetism warm.
Illusions seen are but an ego ruse,
trailing as thought forms, becoming our muse.
Irked by thought spirals, that twirl us around,
trading angst for joy, in love our soul’s drowned.
Impelled by a need to garner the truth,
tailwinds divine beseech God search forsooth.
Inked by hues of love, heart lotus blossoms,
tracing playfully, bliss in all bosoms.
Is not descent into life a wonder,
tilling heart till no one is asunder?
Ignition of love, awaits us within,
tango dancing to feel bliss on our skin.
In timeless time by grace, we vaporise,
tasting flavours of life breaths in surprise.
Intimate is touch of God’s love caress,
transfixing us in bliss, free from duress.
Immediate is granting of bliss boons;
toroidal mists, within which our heart swoons.
Instant nirvana’s ours for the asking,
taming ego’s urge for multitasking.
Illumination, to soul is innate,
thwarted yet on earth by desires that bait.
In the vibrant void of silence, let’s rest,
tapering thought, we find we’re at the crest.

The Divine Mother moves,
as and how She chooses,
transmitting energy,
that nodes within align
with love in synergy.
The Divine Mother moves,
felt as surge magnetic,
from root to crown in spine,
descending back to heart,
where love for love does pine.
The Divine Mother moves,
raising our vibration,
transfixing us in bliss,
in heightened rapture of
a never ending kiss.
The Divine Mother moves,
filling dark voids within
with the nectar of God,
transmuting us as light,
as we watch overawed.

The play of soma
Humming magnetism
Purring bliss eddy current
Blessings of the divine Mother
As each cell of our form is ignited
As a receptacle of God’s light
Transfixing our attention
As rapture cascades
By day and night
Silent thunder

Rapture,
bliss cascading,
pervades each pore of form,
tremors felt as bliss magnetism,
benign divine currents scintillating,
transfixing attention therein,
as we become pure love,
our each life breath,
rapture.

Close
our eyes,
retaining
soft attention,
poised agendaless
in dynamic stillness,
resting lower mind urges,
inviting the divine sublime
to illumine all voids by loves light,
transfixing us now in blissful rapture.
Open eyes, beholding Gods radiance
in multitude of beauteous forms,
prismatic hues of a rainbow,
scented by currents of bliss
suffusing form with love,
dispelling darkness
as an answer
to prayer,
uttered
thus.

It’s a foregone conclusion
That causes this Illusion
Love is confusing
Mysterious as it is
There is one exclusion
Trapped in a web of
Internet Love
Creates an Illusion
Of a mindless touch
Exclusion of the physical
Creating images of real
This type of transfixing
The mind into believing
That this love is real
A processes of an illusion
Without all five senses
This love is an illusion
Yet, deceived by this web
Through an interacting Internet
Of an unfaithful love
Causing the heart and soul
To create a non-interaction
A confusing Illusion eliminating
The physical mind sense
Of Love

When no longer self absorbed, as in with self serving goals, including striving for enhancing spiritual enableability, the body apparatus hollowed out, relegated to the role of a material interface to navigate earth life, presence integrated therein with lower and higher aspects of mind in alignment with the glowing heart, detached cessation thus of self aware awareness in the vibrant void of emptiness throbs with magnetic bliss energy in fullness, transfixing attention in rapture of ineffable ecstatic tranquility.
spontaneous yawn

Highborn, regal Skiddaw
Such grace in one so high,
A countenance of majesty,
A fortress to my eye.
Looking down on all around you
Immense in all your might,
From your foot, we lift our eyes
To wonder at the sight.
Rising like a titan
From the verdant valley floor,
In splendid isolation
Heavenwards, you soar.
A transfixing, noble aspect
Such wonder you exude,
High and mighty Skiddaw,
A king, in solitude.

I use my imagination with,
Lovely words and rhymes
On paper, to captivate and
Vigorate and stimulate
Every part of my soul!
Telling secrets of my subconscious
Or what's in the midst of my heart
Words give life to the unseen world!
Rhymes allow me to fly with wings
I soar above the hate in a cruel world
Transfixing my being to a state of peace
Eagerly I wait for my muse to take control
Positivity infused with reality create,
Optimistic words, written in darkness
Even when I feel sad and blue
The written word begins to heal me, I
Realized that it was medicine to my soul, I
Yearn and crave poetry every single day

The final Rhapsody for an Infra red head
A sunny rise sparking caprice flames
Avina Delis seduces me with her radiance
Bearing the title of the Scarlet Queen
Deserving of a crimson crown
Lorraine Floyd glowing, her ruby heart is pure sexuality
Cute Sunny swaying under an auburn light, show casing flexibility
Burning brightly like no other, Avina Netu does
Klara undresses from a black velveteen
She's all I ever dreamed and wished
Roza Zadova is supple and lean
From the visions I've witnessed she can please. she can do no wrong
What's it like to please her on your knees
As she exudes unseen waves of attraction
The only one who can make me be silent
Transfixing my mind
Emanating grace from her flowing mane
Heat keeps rising, she's the temptress of my thoughts
Dawning love from her fiery glow
A relentless desire from an enchanting phenomenon
Different aliases, same beautiful woman
