Beyond Belief

A Dedication to Leanne, my beloved wife. 

Beyond Belief

Harken,
Heed these words,
They are more than mere sounds,
Trumpeting make-belief ideas,
They will be as rain and sunlight,
To a wilting flower,
Love will heal you,
Beyond all beliefs. 


Words that sound over the top,
From a madman possessed by love,
Unleashed into torrents of devotion,
Burning in fire all consuming,
On the edge of an unknown mystery,
And yet, 
Experiences so universal,
Divine and transformational, 
Beyond all beliefs.

My love for her,
Is beyond all belief,
Over the top,
Under the lowest,
Above the highest,
Extreme, as a cyclone,
Wild, wild elementals,
Soothed by most delicate feelings,
Delicious, sublime feelings,
A paradox of ultimate polarities,
Beyond all beliefs.

God created cosmos as a love affair,
That cosmos could have eyes to see,
Ears to hear,
Consciousness to apprehend and appreciate,
And God created man and woman,
As embodied lover and beloved,
To discover bliss in Union,
So it is in my love for Leanne,
As I see cosmic woman,
In her astounding beauty and wisdom,
My soul drinks her as love of all loves,
Beyond all beliefs.

So it is with my beloved,
Leanne, my beloved wife,
Companion unparalleled among humans,
Lover who reflects back my devotion,
She, who I worship,
Who I finally after long long travails,
Enduring quests into countless dramas,
Seeking for the one beloved,
Who would totally surrender to the bride chamber,
Mutually elevate our love to that place,
Beyond all beliefs.

As surrender to divine yet human love,
Overpowers, overwhelms, subsumes,
Over rules my substitutive habits,
Shatters defences constructed by past trauma,
Obliterates acquired safe mediocrity,
And thresholds my heart into fires of passion, 
Life transfigures into portals, 
Of future great deeds,
Borne of wildest, liberated love,
Beyond all beliefs. 

This poem is an opening stanza,
Announcing and heralding,
A newly engendered and empowered,
Love beyond all beliefs,
Mystically bursting through dark undergrowth,
Seeking now to spread light and warmth,
To those who can openly receive,
Who can harken,
And heed, 
Words that are more than mere sounds,
Words that offer a way to touch Divinity,
Words that can heal souls,
That can inspire courage and devotion,
That can open sacred dimensions of love,
Beyond all beliefs.

Transformation

We carry history's traumas,
Twisted threads of wounded story,
And yet we have survived,
We have forgotten why we are here,
Our divine mission buried deep,
And yet we seek for the grail,
We dwell between ideal and reality,
Brokenhearted and confused,
And yet ultimately awaken,
In a moment of blinding light,
An eye opens, 
I open,? I who is all and nothing,
Ah!

If you are no one,
You can be anyone,
If you are a Universal Being,
You can choose your way,
If you meditate on emptiness,
You can re-invent your life,
Simply realize you are both,
Everything and nothing,
Wedded in a spiritual encasement,
Infinite and finite exquisitely merged,
For freedom walks alongside,
Your captivity in name and form,
A soul bird flying freely,
Yet within a particular habitat,
A Being with a mask and a role,
A Being given a name and an identity,
A Being defined by convention and history,
And yet always, always,
A Being capable of realizing itself,
In freedom!



Allowing a fresh breeze to enter,
Inspirational new hope,
Death and rebirth welcomed,
Saying yes to change,
Re-inventing oneself,
Into being,
Who we can be, 
It is possible,
For we are Spiritual Beings,
In disguise,
As it was said,
If you are no-one, 
You can be anyone,
Like an actor taking on roles,
Yet knowing the person behind the role,
The real, authentic person,
Who is actually whoever and whatever,
We choose and develop,
We can throw out the rubbish,
We can resolve to clean out our cupboards,
Bury the skeletons,
Let go of masks that do not serve us,
Nor the world,
We can do this great work together,
Encouraging each other,
On the broad road of personal change,
And collective transformation,
Take my hand and walk with me!

Poems Out of Time

Sunday poem on a Wednesday!

Time and space warps,
Unusually, unexpectedly,
Topsy turvy,
Poems composed tardily,
Sunday consciousness,
On a Wednesday
For goodness sake,
What's at stake,
Lunch at breakfast,
Words that don't rhyme,
Dreams remembered in patches,
Or is 'this' a dream scene?
Pain and delight playing,
Silence typing,
Out of synch,
Yet in the pink,
In case you wonder,
I am sober, as always,
No substance other than air,
Warped time doesn't care
Twists and turns,
Days like this,
And,
Most importantly,
Being okay,
With it all! 

Monday Poem on a Thursday...Go Figure!

Why not mix up the days,
Jumble many possible ways,
Edging moment by moment
And within freedom gained,
Meditative thinking retained,
Flight with grounded feet
Here, the mystic key,
Space to think and be,
Heart and mind co-joined
Two worlds NOT in collision,
Fusing in a greater vision,
One Captain, many crew
Hence another poem out of time,
Transcendence is no crime,
Catching up to where I Am!

The Great Paradox

The great paradox,
A mighty creative star-burst,
A once unified power,
Dynamically out-sourcing in a display,
Of awesome light and heat,
Of gravitational attraction and boyant levity,
The genesis of life as we know it,
And how it weaves through our days,
And whispers into our night journeys,
A wonderburst of unknown origins,
From which a universe was birthed, ,
Ununiform and creatively diverse,
And here a riddle exists,
For within the unfoldment,
Of a chaotic, broken mess,
Contains a sublime secret,
That beyond mind mazes,
And numbing, repetitive cycles,
Fragmenting in habitual motion,
That beyond all this angst and addiction,
A great Loving Peace pulsates,
A Universal Heart-beat,
Individuated as our own deepest wisdom,
With this we enter the Xmas fray,
Calm and living in Eternity,
And yet playing in time and space,
Transcending yesterday's truth,
Love amidst chaos,
Tolerating those who dwell in the past,
Accepting the mystery of a universe,
That is seemingly not unfolding,
The way it should,
And yet knowing that Love exists,
Love behind the mega drama,
Love despite all else,
The great paradox!

To the Unseen Source

To the unseen Source!

Without knowing and feeling Divinity,
Boredom sets in and I scream,
Without feeling and knowing sacred purpose,
Inertia gnaws away at my soul,
Without awareness of who I am,
A wanderlust without direction ensues,
Without YOU MY LOVE,
I am rendered impotent!

New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve Poem

Allowing a fresh breeze to enter,
Inspirational new hope,
Death and rebirth welcomed,
Saying yes to change,
Re-inventing oneself,
Into being who we can be, 
It is possible,
For we are Spiritual Beings in disguise,
As it was said,
If you are no-one, 
You can be anyone,
Like an actor taking on roles,
Yet knowing the person behind the role,
The real, authentic person,
Who is actually whoever and whatever,
We choose and develop,
And as we enter 2015,
We can throw out the rubbish,
We can resolve to clean out our cupboards,
Bury the skeletons,
Let go of masks that do not serve us,
Nor the world,
We can do this great work together,
Encouraging each other,
On the broad road of personal change,
And collective transformation,
Take my hand and walk with me!

Poetry: a Mythic Bird

Poetry: A Mythic Bird,?

Flying over diverse landscapes,
?Catching clues, cryptic signs,?
Messages from mysterious places,

?Beings, our starry ancestors,?
Mirror-earthly poets here,?
Resonating in rainbow hues,

?Refining, surrendering, creating,?
Poetic cosmic web, symbolic net,
?Casting visions into an infinite ocean,?

Or into invisible etheric spaces,
Nature’s precious garden too,
Poets cultivating sweet melodies, 

Elemental sprites in gleeful abandon,
Wind songs, sun dances,
Rays streaming, love enchanted, 

Praying sparks may flare, ignite,?
Sparkle in twilight zones,?
Candles flickering in darkened caves,?

Poetry, gifted from angels,?
And other Celestial friends,?
Reminding, that we are passing by,?

Earthbound, but also Cosmic wanderers,?
Evolving into universal light-bringers,?
Shedding outworn garments of limited identity,?

Celebrating spiritual maturity long earned,
?Learning sublime, transformational language,
?Words that resound in open hearts,

Oh you wondrous mythic bird,
Poetry!

Maturing

We humans are here to mature,
And often it takes a thunderbolt,
To strike from beyond,
To deepen our understanding,
Test our resolve,
Bring us into a calm acceptance,
Awaken us to our soul nature,
To complete an initiation,
Like putting the final piece of a jigsaw,
Into its interlocking place,
That we can know our purpose,
Why we are here,
What Spirit would have us do,
And then to go on living,
Totally in ordinary ways,
Chopping wood and fetching water,
But with a light step,
And inner smile!

Beyond Polarities

Close to a breakthrough,
As we stretch our freedom,
To polar extremes,
Choosing like kids in a candy store,
Like anticipating Xmas presents,
Emotionally fired up by a new love,
Excited, thrilled, fantasizing,
Chasing the next alluring promise,
And yet, 
We always end up dissatisfied,
Because we realise,
There has to be more than this,
More than money,
Another love conquest,
Additional stuff that we don't really need,
And so we swing towards spiritual attainment,
With the same consciousness,
And leap about like jumping beans,
Until the searching collapses,
Until, an insight flashes its light,
Aha! we are seeking for us,
We are the Grail,
The great journey begins and ends with each one of us,
At that moment, unconditional Love reveals her face,
Suddenly all the nasty ghosts flee the scene,
We look into each others eyes,
And see Divinity!

One Consciousness

So many view-points,
One Consciousness,
And if the divisive mind,
Could but realise Oneness,
Embrace the One hiding behind the many,
Receive inspiration and passion,
That awaits the kiss of Life,
If only we could delve deeper,
Slow down and penetrate surface waves,
What a shift would shatter our illusions,
What a new humanity could celebrate,
What compassion would heal our wounds,
The past traumas of history,
And this new unified consciousness,
Would herald in a wondrous epoch
I tell you my friends and fellow seekers,
This glorious future destiny beckons,
And begins right now,
With a loving gesture,
A kind smile,
A decision to listen to others deeply,
To be interested in their stories,
Feel their struggles,
Encourage their aspirations,
See through their complex confusion and denial,
Without condemnation,
To gently point out that behind the many view-points,
One Consciousness binds us,
And all living beings!
