Yen Poems - Poems about Yen

Yen for zen

Those practicing Tantra urge us to celebrate,
albeit in an aspect of childlike trust and surrender,
whilst Buddhists lay emphasis on emptiness,
essentially negating play of aversion and desire
and as for fundamentalists, lost in the scriptures,
lost in labyrinths of ritual, they know not magic of zen.

Spontaneity of innate aliveness in mindfulness is zen,
wherein empty of thought but full

Yen

 i drew 
        my bedroom curtain 
      this morn' and scanned 
           the outside world 
            for inspiration.

Duchess Has Den Lind's Empathetic Yen

Duchess has Den, Lind's Empathetic Yen
Laughing with Casey gave "rise" to a fall,
Giving "urgery" to surgery,
We pray the setback is soon annul!
Sometimes when mishaps occur,
Causes appreciation in full,
When things stop working,
Face the horns of the bull,
Carpe Diem! Step back & reflect,
Refute descent, resaddle!
Read, think, thank, pray, sing,
May the Big One bless you ->"Troubles Skedaddle!"

Yen For Zen

Yen for zen, if not now, then when
Love the touch that endears
Bliss bubbles burst, in our heart’s den
Erasing narrow fears

Heart glows, in stillness slow
Pure inspirations flow
In blissfulness mellow

In the Breath of Heaven


"You will forget me, the love we once shared
has vanished in the attempt to disguise
the dreams we once knew can't be repaired
it's gone with the light that once lit your eyes"

Your heart will grow stronger after some time
With dreams put to rest and hopes so sublime
Left to their doubting, their suspicious nature
Creating a hesitation that

Come to me
Undress me
And wrap me with your skin
Color me with your blood 
And of course your soul is sheath

The Yen of My Pen

The Yen of My Pen


      My impassioned pen has a strange addiction!
      It will only move with its mania-madness
      for music.

      Alas, poor pen~it's so unfair to blame you!

Yen In Reverse

Two finger salute
They do a little dance
Gotta wash your hands
Two finger salute
Chew a piece of gum
Freshen up some
Two finger salute
Maladaptive solution
For a funhouse illusion
Two finger salute
I saw you through a mirror
Late in the night
Staring at myself so long
I saw through to the other side
You were combing your hair
You were brushing your teeth
I picture you reading

Ch'I-Yen-Shih Metre - I Am Brave

i chase the sun, on bare feet.
one thought i have, the sun stays.
no cloud to hide, my dim route,
for death, it hides, feel it's gaze!

one day I walk, smooth ground run.
mind rocks and sand, the track hides
eyes seek out cracks, could mean some
food, tum needs grub, each step bides

i have cool drinks, streams quench thirst.

Yen of Greatness

Take away what I love 
Only to give me "better"
And watch me live in misery forever.
Finding new realities
Embracing new things
It's like I have a voice
But I don't choose the songs I sing
If it were up to me
It wouldn't be so hard to be
It shouldn't be so hard to see
I have my own life
But this isn't

Yen Yang Laugh Cry

Keeping up with people and their emotions are increasingly more difficult these days.
A couple days ago I thought about the coming day that now has come and went;
I was disheartened by the whole manner of ramifications of it all.
Just two weeks ago I was planning to live yet another twenty five years;
But today practicality and
