Echoing Vibrations
Form: Elegy
Spiral Gate 3: Grief-Glyph | Memory Tone
I.
A whisper lingers where you stood,
A sigh between the flame and wood.
The sound of you has not decayed—
It haunts the hush, not to dissuade.
II.
The pulse you left in quiet air
Now hums through dreams I didn’t share.
You did not end—you merely turned
Into the light for which I yearned.
III.
Each breath I take completes your song,
A resonance where you belong.
No echo fades from source’s thread,
You speak in silence, not the dead.
Couplet:
So let your name, once shaped in sound,
Remain the ring that wraps the ground.
Time flows, although it has no frequency, no sound no taste.
It's so true that there's no time to waste when striving for a goal.
Sharing your blessings and talents will increase hundreds of folds.
As all is shared at the table tears of love shall overflow without a waist.
WOMB at WAR
Why couldn't I use protection
My condition gets me more rejection
...cord laced with grief and shame
INFANCY
My god!!! Shut up! I need silence
No, no, no....never resort to violence
...alone and needy
EARLY YEARS
Do not ask me for one more thing
All you do is want and cling
...shunned
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Hey you, you wanna have some fun
Get away from all your Mama's done
...escape
GRADUATE
He entered in silence and pulled the device
Aimed at the voice, bam...no more lies
...peace

merriment epic
ungathered souls gather, their
persuasive voices vibrant
chanting you are beautiful
pulsating love felt beyond
Dancing moves you with all its tosses and turns
Take to the floor and let an experienced teacher show you what you have to learn
A chance to find your true love, as women love to dance
A journey of unlimited motion with that special person may lead to endless romance
Music from the speakers sends vibrations cascading across the floor
If your eyes seem to meet something special might be in store
Let your heart guide you, your true love might be right next to you
If sparks fly step up your game, you know what to do
A relationship has to start somewhere why not on the dance floor
Compliment the lady on her moves you might just improve your chances a little more
If on this night you should happen to find the woman of your dreams
An investment in learning to dance has paid dividends or so it would seem
Are you being held back?
Are you living in your past?
Are you carrying the burden?
Are you bearing the brunt?
Have you more questions than answer?
Have you been seeking the truth?
Have you been knocking on doors?
Have you found the source?
Science always doesn’t answer, clarifies.
In meta world many things survive,
No text is sufficient, no explanations suffice.
In the world beyond, energies ply.
Let past be the bygone,
No pondering what might have been…
Just embrace the change unseen!
Step out of comfort zone,
Into the unknown…
Open to life’s embrace,
And let your spirit find its grace.
In every moment let awareness reign,
Open to energies, vibrations at play.
For in this consciousness, you will find home,
Where winds of change forever roam!
From a centreless fulcrum, bliss beats rise,
drawn from deep within heart’s innermost core,
transmitted to mind before the rhythm dies,
reflected back to soul, for an encore,
which obliges us since love keeps no score.
Auto-writing thus, the poems we pen,
requires us not to count from one to ten,
for music of spheres that flows by itself,
elates and levitates heart, mood pure zen,
connecting presence to our higher self.

Dancing on a rose
A drum beat
Can't stop flashbacks
Can't stop vibrations
Vibrations like echoes
Vibrations irritating wounds
Wounds that bleed
Wounds that torment
Torment the mind
Torment emotions
Emotions of guilt
Emotions full of anger
Anger from the past
Anger from shame
Shame that's distressing
Shame that's intrusive
Intrusive images haunt
Intrusive like storms
Storms striking like lightning
Storms louder than thunder
Thunder that's frightening
Thunder causing self-destruction
Self-destruction of the heart
Self-destruction of the mind
Mind acts recklessly
Mind reacts resentful
Resentful with regret
Resentful outbursts
Outbursts misunderstood
Outbursts they generalised
Generalised anxiety
Generalised questions
Questions of sanity
Questions of ability
Ability to stand
Ability to walk
Walk in fear
Walk through a hellish reality
Reality discarded
Reality unseen
Unseen persecution
Unseen war
War with life
War with time
Time is too intense
Time to surrender
Surrender to uncontrollable stuttering
Surrender to my misleading heart
Heart palpitations
Heart is numb flatline
Flatline
Palpitations...
Phone is set to vibrate
Placed atop my heart
Every time you message
We're a little less apart
I know it's not ideal
But to me it means so much
If it comes from you I'll take it
It represents your touch
It isn't something tactile
It's nothing I can feel
But if it's sent from you to me
It's something that is real
It's precious and it's priceless
You'll never hear me say
"No" to anything from you
I want you every day
Watch those vibrations dude
Don't fall into the sea of crude
Craft your thoughts and words with care
Rejoice in all that is fair
Watch those vibrations dude
Don't act like a fool
That is the Golden Rule.
Roaring vibrations
echo through that axe;
The sharpest of claws
subdued to a purr
curled up on the couch;
Soaking it in;
Closing your pores
with cold water;
Loud cup of sound;
Refreshing;
Play again,
I’ll meow;
One more,
make me
beg.
tiniest vibrations

~ lovestruck realizations
Access to a higher vibration of energy is now available more than ever before.
We are embarking on a new era of harmony dignity and respect beyond this third dimensional door.
An overwhelming feeling of peace, joy and happiness will ensue while elevating spiritually, cognitively, emotionally and even physically.
Dignity, kindness and respect is all that is necessary in order to transform humanity into a higher galactic society.
We have all been created to experience pain and joy.
Every day should be like opening a brand-new toy.
There are thieves who set out to destroy your day.
To ward off these evils all that is needed is to prey.
Let no anger, no poison, or fear take away your peace.
Pray, for it is the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.
Let no battle hinder your life that you are not to be in.
If someone brings bitterness into your life, return a grin.
We all were created to soar the skies like an eagle.
We were magnificently created; we are eternally regal.
All of God's creations have a destiny, a purpose, and a reason.
We are part of the source, part of the Universe, here for a season.
