Zen Poems

Zen mode

from within we touch not the walls of form
as formless presence we just rest in space 
swirling energies beg us to conform 
so our mantra is release each embrace
since egos manifest conceal God’s face
at times we too swim but do not get wet
that we’re light of Self, we do not forget

Zen mode

invocations
not as desires
but as pulsations
heart silently aspires
echo as reverberations 
manifesting as spirit’s fires

surfing the very edge of space 
where linear time slows down
intent births a mist of grace
a calm in which we drown
beginnings we retrace
before touchdown

Zen mode

employing bliss as the fuel
continual is our renewal
in the void of cessation
as lazy meditation

Because Kendall hasnt called

And I'm looking at new York canvas

He teaches desire as illusion in anger

Next day air

In the lonely night
Without a lonely write
It's the next day bourbon

Zen mode

cartwheels of energy
whirring, rotating 
within each cell
as a whole looping form
an enigma we do not analyse
for it is what it is 
an endless evolution
in divine entwined celebration

Zen mode

quiescent heart and vibrant spirit 
enlivened by bliss beats commingle
manifests within delightful surprises 
ushered when pheromones mingle

Zen mode

eye single in life pulse dual
propelled by love as heart’s fuel
poised in the void, vibrant, aglow
crown of bliss is our soul’s jewel

staid cessation makes thought flow slow
there are no debts of love we owe
at the octave of compassion
our childlike heart is pure like snow

Zen mode

drawn to a fragrance we claim as our own
as the pull divine propels us along 
path strewn with rose petals we walk alone
attuned to the throb of the cosmic gong
cajoling glowing heart to sing soul’s song
doing nothing save following the scent
granting love consent paves way for ascent

Zen mode

to merge with that wherefrom this arises ~
we embrace and release life’s surprises

the non-doing done, coming thus undone ~
boundaries blur; God and soul become one

Zen mode

promise backtracked at the eleventh hour
creates no ripple in our glowing heart
we have no desire for grapes sweet or sour
for all we feel is bliss ignition start
breath by breath adding magnetism to cart
each moment flowing in time deemed sublime 
the song of our soul mirrors bliss beat’s chime

Zen mode

honing instinct
to be love inked
bliss hum steady
says we’re ready
empty yet full
soul beautiful 
to do as tasked
as by God asked

Dong Zhongshu, 179-104 BC

If you've a yen
(it's not zen)
you may bet your bottom dollar
while integrating yin yang cosmology
Chinese philosopher and scholar
Dong Zhongshu
(good old you know who)
favoured heaven worship results
over and above traditional cults
altho' a man well-read
he often wrote instead
yet to avoid confusion
knowingly said, 'Jump to assumption,
arrive wrong conclusion.'

Zen mode

a pinch of bliss 
at third eye and spine
sends us into a spasm of delight 
wherein we as a mere receptor
enjoy the boons of grace

Zen mode

we were asleep
now we are partly awake
with living light of Self known 
yet final assimilation awaits
for awakening full blown

the coordinates are recognised
accepting work in progress
presence calm like a lake
in time stretched silence waits
for God’s benign touch to awake

Zen mode

we read between the lines
for we have been and seen
light that lights all lights 
as soul’s luminous sheen

soul merges in God’s heart
no difference remains
illusionary is bondage
there are no chains
