Head melds with heart
 

Head melds with heart, ushering calm
Poised thus in alignment
Bliss mist applies its healing balm
Soul rests in contentment

The way is surrender
Beholding Gods wonder
No hearts stand asunder

Erst fears depart
Head melds with heart

Yes I’m coming in now to get picky with nowayout.. hehe

Your first stanza looks slightly off me thinks ..

‘In your eyes I see hidden glory’”- in my eyes I see 9 syl’s.

Poets at work
 

Poets at work, soul search for rhythm
Sacred geometry
At play within mind-body prism
In continuity

As love for love does long
The koel sings it song
Carrying all along

Passion’s quirk
Poets at work

Our ugly side
 

Our ugly side, anger and greed
Game of one-upmanship
Endless craving beyond our need
Gods love not our flagship

At all costs need to win
Deafened by ego din
Delusion begets sin

Ego lust ride
Our ugly side

What are fears
 

What are fears - attachment to form
Our soul not organic
Fleeting is destiny spawned storm
Reclaim joy ecstatic

Why we choose to suffer
Rather than bliss caper
Is because of stupor

Ask heart’s tears
What are fears

Love empowers
 

Love empowers both heart and mind
Miracles manifest
No trace remains of ego bind
Love infallible litmus test

No longer weigh and size
As we welcome surprise
Delighting in bliss rise

Presence towers
Love empowers
