employing mind of heart
intuitive and spontaneous
rapture renews reverberations
effervescence extemporaneous
soul’s flicker-free flame breathes
both motionless yet pulsating
the energy grid comes alive
ushering bliss unabating
Mere faith in oneself
is not enough to build strength,
confidence makes one thrive;
leave all failures on the shelf!
Fear makes a liar shrive,
he's afraid of a wavelength!
Survival is not frivolity,
rather a required amenity
to instill confidence in us;
take grit and defy doubts!
Plan ahead your long-dreamed journey,
either in outer space or on high seas;
captains are never afraid of dangers:
how thrilling can be a new discovery!
Do I have an unabating regret to promptly confess?
It lies in this wincing and baffled soul so restless!
Adventure should have evinced my true excitement;
did anyone perceive the eagerness that wasn't silent?
Tonight I shall call the shining stars
To descend down by your side too soon
And have it engulf the gloomy darkness,
Faintly the light shall snog you,
There you will behold me near you
Invisible in the darkness
For I am a shadow galloping with you
I shall be present as a shadow
Loving you with unabating power.
At mid-night I shall came crawling
Too silent unnoticed by the sleeping world,
No humans nor ghost can trace me
For I am like a clinging dew drops
Flickering upon the rhythm of moonlight
So uncertain of its existence on grass tip
For a ghastly blow can dismantle all,
I shall be present in your dreams
Loving you with vacant dwindling.
At dawn I shall come hovering
Riding on the undulating rays of the sun
Waving and greeting from heart of love,
Steadily I shall pearch on you
For you bask the morning rays too usual,
I shall unhitch the warmth you wanted
And I shall chase the coldness
Back to its snow capped mountain,
I shall Love you always.
Exceptional times require exceptional measures
In our everyday lives we experience this truth
Times of stress, or, in rare incidence for pleasures
A challenge from our peers sparking curiosity,
Provoking us to engage in the most insane ruse
Wisdom shows itself in most annoying paucity
Comes the time when we eschew such rashness
But, in youth, almost every adventure is novel,
So, we entertain ourselves in unabating brashness
And exceptional times are replaced by maturity
Having experienced almost everything before
Comes the time when exceptional measures bore.

The Garden Of The Soul Nourish And Admire
With gratitude the soul shall respire
As the divine fountains ooze many blessings
The garden of the soul nourish and admire
You shall reap joy of life and kind feelings.

A Deep Feeling So Divine
Love, in words, if only I can define
A human power, a deep feeling so divine
Strong bonds of life and bliss shared
In Love, unabating drifts would be dared.

With Verve Huge Of Me In Verse
Within each word my thoughts rhyme
With verve huge of me in verse
The highest I strive to climb
In poetry soul I would immerse.
*****
I See Beauty In Mankind
I see beauty in mankind
As bliss and pain are aligned
I see Light blooms in true heart
As seeds of Love yields a work of art.
*****
Lind30 Rhyme (7,7,7,9)
“Oh hermit! Know that there is no one here
What is, is God, as bliss throbs within spear”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In sync with the divine dance underway
Vaporised self follows the pied piper
Mind recognising life, as but a play
Relying upon love, as its saviour
Flowing thus gently, in the stream divine
Essence of presence becomes a bliss mist
Head melds with heart in fusion to align
Joy unabating through both trough and crest
Delighting in journey without movement
As magnetic currents within do rise
Inner eye beholds self luminescent
Each bliss nuance felt, rapturous surprise
Love unifies thought of separateness
All then being, singular consciousness

I shall never know how deeply felt her anguish
Too young to sever the roots of her own suffering
Unable to fathom how deeply in remorse she languished
The demons in her mind and soul clutching, cluttering,
Scrambling her ability to sort out the issues of life
In mid-life she departed, too early, too soon was gone
From interminable years of struggle with unabating strife
Somewhere in the spiritual realm of peace she trudges on.

A measure of human want,
Of mans unceasing desires,
Abundance of food in excess
Of what stomach can bear,
Of wealth and gilded jewels,
Of mansions and orchards,
Cornucopia from age of Zeus,
Unabating symbol of greed,
Stop to fill that mythical horn,
With generosity of your heart,
Throw goodness in good measure,
And for once fill a poor man’s cart!

NO FROZEN SUPPER
The level crossing was closed long before;
Ringing bells continued to say overdue
It was a windy minus-ten wait for the 244.
-Seen afar blocked in the traffic queue
Idle as a painted ship frozen too soon;
Crabs in shells or turtles ashore and repentant
Under the smiling January moon.
-Clear and resplendent
Motionless for a half-hour unabating;
Hot-breath abandoned fog machines waiting
And stamping feet, home-hungry, muttering.
-Nobody ate anybody - but it was a near thing
Whistles pierced the air and trains rumbled out;
Traffic moved, unlocked the jigsaw on the bus
And a woman’s shivering sharp shout.
-Wheels turned and returned all of us

Winter day
Cold go away
Summer sun
Come out lets play
Winter day
Bones feeling old
Summer sun
Do as your told
Winter rain
Puddles on ground
Summer heat
Bring people around
Winter rain
Precipitation unabating
Summer heat
Show yourself I’m waiting
Winter cold
Clouds all around
Summer tan
Good looks astound
Winter cold
Jumper, beanie, jacket
Summer tan
Spray tan I fake it
Winter bleak
Mood and affect low
Summer stunner
Happiness we glow
Winter bleak
Banish your gloom
Summer stunner
Flourish and bloom
Winter snow
Slushiness I despise
Summer Rays
Glasses cool on eyes
Winter snow
Enough I’ve really had
Summer rays
I miss you really bad
i am a process.
Mindless actions,
Wireless transactions.
i think. but i have no thought.
i am a machine,
Alone and unmanned,
Awaiting only the breath of Your command.
i understand. but i do not comprehend.
i am a receptacle.
Vacuous and waiting,
my tenacity to mindlessly please, is unabating.
i respond to Your touch, though i do not feel its warmth.
i am a vehicle.
Only to use, only to show,
i do not feel, i do not think, i only know.
i do what You say, i recognise Your words, but i do not know Your voice.
tears
racked face
lines soaked with
grief, a torrent
of unabating pain ....saying ..goodbye
to the love of my life ..my heart races?
how can I face
life alone,
I love
you.
yet
I must
walk the path
of loneliness
until called home to your arms, my soulmate.
