when i touch you
i am in a state of knowing
where i belong
it was all in the plan
the expanding universe theory
from quark-gluon hadronization
rushing into protons, neutrons, life emerges
a particle progression that would eventually
come to rest in the atoms before me
when i touch you
the photon epoch explains
why when i look into your eyes
i see the soul in that light
the door poets speak of
that gives it all meaning
there is no mystery to the universe
when i touch you
all the questions and answers
become one in that touch
where a rose stays a rose
a kiss quickens my heart, vivifies my breath
and so the wordsmith returns
to say in every romantic avenue
we are not promised paradise
it may come with a thorn or two
i will gladly wear such a crown
because i am forever grateful
when the cosmic dust settled
i found myself in your arms
beneath the stars, sun, and moon
created for you at the catalyst of time

tip of our nose is the sacred point
wherefrom breath doth anoint
divine elixir that vivifies
that God we realise
senses feel bliss burn
that in gratitude we learn
love innate is certain to zoom
once we make within some room
The consummate scent of Earth's due decay
Subdues gently the fervor of Death's perennial
Parade, whose incumbent silences the withering leaves
Do so barely correct, by singing tremulous or crying to the choral winds.
But, as with an inspirited indifference, that incensed breeze yet swept
The consummate scent of Earth s due decay
Far from that secret tome whence mortal moments may,
As with grave strength from deepest wells of regret,
Be still distilled into that which, -despite bare Oblivion's
effortless sway-
Thus vivifies such frailty as whereby
The consummate scent of Earth's due decay
Has ever it's beauty in sanctity kept.
And does Death then yet impress a violence but so fair,
As with the mellowing maple leaf, or the ripening pear?
And who would prevent them that Death should repay?
Hence, the consummate scent of Earth's due decay.
light eternal caged
by ego upstaged
merely needs flame of love
that grace from above
vivifies organic form
with a magnetic bliss storm
if love be our invocation
with dedication
God’s self-existent light
pulsates by day and by night
within
ego dies
yet i am
radiant
complete
is-ness
vivifies
itself
in itself
i am as am
self-existent
luminous
living light
attributeless
at peace
feeling complete
i renew life
beyond time
and space
in singularity
i am
all doings are done
which we appear to do
although in truth we do not
as the life spectacle unfolds
in a continuum tranquil
bliss vivifies silence

Come, let’s go to the Shambala bardo
Embarking on a wingless flight of delight
Where sunlight crystallises into mists sublime
Self existent divine light illumining the dark night
When the moon shines overhead in a starlight sky
Melding with melody of soul’s music mystical
Plunging into the void, aloft a moonbeam
We fly leaving behind mind egotistical
Magnetism divine vivifies the vast void
In no time at all, we reach our destination
Beings of love and light announce our arrival
Emitting effervescence, boundless is our elation
Wisdom of the ages is bestowed on us instantly
At Shambhala, entwined with universal mind
Our life fast forwards toward the finish line
Love enabled at last, blissful and kind

Peeling off darkness, layer by layer
Softened attention, our meditation
Soul presence becomes it’s own soothsayer
Bliss enlivening void of cessation
Awareness self-aware, sans lower mind
Still, in a thought rested continuum
Vivifies space-time by pure intent kind
With no trace of ego residuum
Simply thus being and so becoming
Our entire mind-body is magnetised
Soma flows, welcoming our home coming
By the Holy Spirit, we are baptised
Complex made simple by the bliss tingle
Soul awakes, as joy pheromones mingle

cessation without negation
resonation but not stagnation
vaporisation magnifies vibration
bliss energisation vivifies cessation

No poetry is written
in absolute sanity...
is madness who vivifies and
exhorts the inspiration...
It is the thorn that softens
the soul when is extracted... !
Do we cherish our aliveness innate
Gods gift of life, each heartbeat that elates
Celebrating breath from start to finish
As conscience, right from wrong does distinguish
Pure childlike heart, shedding off ego weight
Love and light beckons, why then do we wait
Succumb not to fears and desires that bait
Vibrant bliss within, our revered parish
Do we cherish
Feel life, immediate and intimate
As to the music divine, we gyrate
Boundless bliss in permanence, as we wish
Vivifies our form, in an instant swish
Even as we playfully meditate
Do we cherish

None can ferret
If we would know

Original poem: Moment of decision dated on 29-December-2020
Touch of delight, throbbing from deep within
The purring, humming rapture ignition
Vivifies our form through each day and night
We sense our luminescence shining bright
Bestowed by rod of initiation
Magnetic currents deep percolation
Bubbling in peaked continuation
Being-ness from which we never alight
Touch of delight
Abiding in benign bliss explosion
Our ever present orientation
In eye of the storm, presence is quiet
Such is the wonder of our wingless flight
Transfixed thus in joyful bliss elation
Touch of delight

Magnetic pull, draws in the bliss current
Felt within, as vibrant throb factual
A constant humming, without abatement
Joy ecstasy boundless, ineffable
Path to activate magnetism, simple
We slow down thought, nestled in contentment
Shifting into silence, fulcrum stable
Magnetic pull, draws in the bliss current
As head and heart, come into alignment
Bliss vivifies the Sushumna funnel
Divine grace bestows joy enablement
Felt within, as vibrant throb factual
Imbibing Gods bountiful miracles
In loving, bubbling, playful sentiment
Inner sound current, throb perennial
A constant humming, without abatement
Our energy body luminescent
Fragrant vibrations imbibed, musical
Our hollowed empty form, with bliss vibrant
Joy ecstasy boundless, ineffable
Divine energy within, toroidal
Rise gentle, along a steep gradient
Each enablement, divine miracle
Our childlike presence, feels the excitement
Magnetic pull
