A thread for Freeform Poetry inspired by wisdom

A small introduction to Freeform Poetry
or The Free Verse


"Free verse poems have no regular meter or rhythm. They do not follow a proper rhyme scheme; these poems do not have any set rules. This type of poem is based on normal pauses and natural rhythmical phrases, as compared to the artificial constraints of normal poetry."

"Freeform poetry or open form poetry rejects the structure and organization found in traditional poetry, such as haikus, sonnets, or rhyming poems. Freeform poetry can be divided into three main types, or styles: free verse poetry, chance poetry, and surrealist poetry. These poetic types aim to blast open the traditional poetic structure and present more possibilities on the page."

Jazz from the caves of primal Man

Can you dance
to its beat?
Spit rhymes, on its heat?
Tongue, - tied to your feet

Slick, that Fire-Speak

We engage in a language
that gagues
the Deep

Seep through the walls
Of your Sleep

[Unseeking Seeker]

recognition of our true constitution reveals
we are not merely limited mind-body combine
our soul being encased in five sheaths or coverings
of which the first and grossest is the material organism
the second our pranic energy field, which keeps body alive
third our lower analytical mind or what we call as our left brain
fourth higher mind, which is free from doership, loosely called intuition
fifth our bliss sheath, love essence, joy, empathy, compassion, innate divinity

possibly owing to an aberration in the distant past, our ego became manifest
being simply delusion that this mind-body identity is the all there is to us
self-hypnosis, if we will, urging us to maximise fleeting joy for the ego
stifling voice of conscience and inner polarity of mind and senses
thereby making our soul a prisoner in earth vehicle ensouled
head and heart misaligned, setting karmic force in motion
which simply stated, is deluded hearts unfulfilled desire
causation of reincarnation until all ego desires cease

undergoing cyclic pain and joy in the world external
on reaching point of exhaustion, meld head with heart
stopping movement of thought, abiding in pristine silence
desires and fears rooted in transient attachments renounced
thereby embracing emptiness with our attention poised in stillness
simply looking at thought forms appearing and disappearing in mind
assigning no ownership to them, feeding them not, whereupon they fade
holding our peace, in timeless time, we are graced by bliss explosion within

astonished and awestruck at the fortuitous happening we are disconcerted
knowing not what the sensations within us signify and wary of the energy
pervading our form like warm waves of the ocean lapping up the shore
radiating from inside out, amplitude rising, as we fear for our sanity
at which stage we may choose to accept or block the magnetism
either which ways, the currents resume when free will chooses
our acceptant spirit in an aspect of childlike trust a catalyst
holding us still in the flow enabling bliss in permanence

wisdom downloads and divine experiences follow
layer by layer self-imposed ego blockages drop away
mists clear and we get glimpses of the underlying reality
graced one day by God’s touch revealed in soft white light
accompanied by a message, confidential and known to us alone
which even if shared cannot be understood by other fellow travellers
such is the beauty of this truth, an open secret, well hidden in plain sight
marking a permanent shift in our oneness entwined in-form consciousness

each peak attained but being a new beginning, having seen God face to face
assimilation of revelations takes time to be etched upon the fabric of soul
as we oscillate between the outer and inner worlds enriched by bliss
in but not of the world, recognising that mind-body is an object
with unchanging awareness the subject, empowered by God
who is the one in all and so as we each be so breathed
our core slowly veers towards the singular life force
as we be to become one with God consciousness

devoid of mind, ritual, religion or any dogma
unbound essence of presence yawns and stretches
all embracing, non-judgmental, empathetic and blissful
recognising that each soul embarks upon its own unique path
at the ordained time, all getting to roots of the singular realisation
pointed out in fact by all scriptures but yet accepted only when known
seen and felt directly by each earth entity upon letting go of their delusion
plunging fearlessly into the vibrant void of no-thingness in unbroken awareness

If you want to be free
Like if you truly want to be free
Don't look at me
Go play in the woods
Go play where ever you can
And if there is no place
You can play
Then life has passed you

bye....

The Lecturer

The lecture comes with another lecture
The lecture is getting old
How is it for you listening
To this lecture

Time in
Time out

The consumer
Is hungry

The lecturer too
I can see past the need

Sickness is everywhere
Go shine the light
Over there

All inspired
By wisdom

What will they be saying
In 2903

We won't know
As you know

But the lecturer
Will know

Truly

Inspired by wisdom, who here is so wise?


Inspired by life I would say...

Stillness deep from within
Tangles of yearnings of peace

Let go of that story you keep
Shadow pervading the Light

Illumination of Eternal Soul
Joyous sparkle of Loves waking

Pure one of inner Being rise
Burst forth, freedom is your home

Connected effervescent consciousness
Spirit without end sleeps no more

Power of Eternal Lives of no consequence
Yet always was and will be Contentment

[Nowayout]

The story of life unfolds
Everyone has their own story
Eternal hopes
Gives birth to more stories
I am real
I am not a dream
For now
I stand my own ground
Come stand with me
Our hearts
Grounded
As one.

No offense
No need to tear it all down.

Ah, the little fruit fly!
How God loves your little flights.
Ah, the white puppy!
Rolling in the dirt.
God is so laughing!
What an enjoyment you both are for Him!
