He has Risen!
The Lord of Light, God’s Redeemer:
His Son, transforming man’s defeat
to summits of glory;
He has Risen! The Lord of Light,
Destiny’s Leader, Father and man’s
ever evolving Love Story--
And who in right faith
cannot feel His Glory?
And who in such light
will refuse such Love?
Death has no dominion
outside the grave.
And all who live twice,
renewed by first death,
never-again Dark’s slave.
He has Risen!
The Lord of Light, God’s Redeemer:
His Son, transforming man’s defeat
to summits of glory;
He has Risen! The Lord of Light,
Destiny’s Leader, Father and man’s
ever evolving Love Story--

break up, cry, for her, loss, lost love, love hurts,
Guess she was blind
Not even
Glancing at her
Own reflection
But at everything
Everyone else
Just kept
Looking beyond the horizon
Not the ground she’s standing on
That’s not her
Not her own
Forgetting
The promises
She made to herself
The morals
She bond to herself
Just blindly
Into nowhere
Just when
You get somewhere
It’s not over
There’s another
Mountain
To climb
Another
River
To cross
Find yourself
To only
Lose yourself
Again
To find yourself
On higher ground
To reach
The higher summits
Hold on
To you
Hold on
Never let go
How can you love
Another
When you’ve lost yourself

bereavement, inspiration, leaving, muse, mythology,
My muse sighs and leaves me unwell
and cuckolds me like faithless love
as if she's ne'er my god or belle,
afflatus or creative breath
who came from the summits above
to save me from poetic death!
"Why go, O Calliope!?" I yell;
her leaving brings about such woe
and inexpressible sorrow
that's too profound, too deep to tell:
I pray to Zeus I'll never know
this Melancholia of hell!
My muse sighs and takes leave of me,—
I yell, "Why go, O Calliope!?

bird, emotions, happiness, heart, mountains, nature, valentines day,
Pecking its way out of the golden light
Songbirds arise non-feathered when they hatch
Feathered wings lift them high in upward flight
Crested larks lay colourful eggs that match
Aeronautical flying birds in love
In the air, romancing like Valentines
Returning to where they were quite beloved
Where their hearts weren't always undermined
I know you do verily love the uplift
Even when your spirit flies to the bayside
Where imagination soars adrift
While I'm trekking on with my mighty hindsight
Bright light flies from the summits each morning
A reddish glow adorns those summits, recording:
Alpenglow!

child, courage, dark, lonely, sad,
Through pain,
Through sorrow,
Through a lonely nights tears.
No warmth,
No love,
Only cold lifeless fear.
The locking
Of a door,
Sends your heart on a deep plummet.
In the darkness,
In the room,
Your anger summits.
Somewhere not far,
She plays a computer game,
Ignoring your screams of her name.
For in this horror,
In this nightmear,
You know it will always be the same.
She never hears anything.

I love you wild and free
From midnight to the dawning spree
When broken glass startles the mirror
Our love grows clearer
Through fortune and nebulous climb
Tucked into each other's sides
By mystic banter and throaty relief
Holding still in our belief
That love summits grow
With each passing leaf

grief, lost love,
Was this, what it was for?
This path of metaphor
Trails of similes and imagery
Summits of sun-tossed poetry
Have I run this marathon
Bulked up my artistic bond
So on pretty words, rely
To bear witness, as you die?
I would return it all, every single line
To feel your flesh warming mine
How weakly, pen and paper breaks
Under the toll of heaven's weight
Now alone, facing the permanency
Of forever, my tears take a knee
I surrender, I concede, I relent, I submit
To whatever relief belief can give it.
Maybe
If I say my prayers
Just right
Maybe
If I cleanse the sin
From my sight
Maybe
The stars
Will show where you are
Tonight.

love,
every fold
every curve
deep mystery
green verve
as the eyes
roam the summits
beauty turns up
shapes allure
waves rising
clouds on mounds
waves descend
fogs in the waist
ascent and descent
an exciting dance
once over
a deep trance
uphill journey
downward return
cups of tea
thorns and flowers
deep in the gorges
Babylonian darkness
your and mine
for a bath in light

let there be peace in our homes
and peaceful images that feed
desire to hope
let there be assurance in our tones
illuminated by a knowledge of religious diversion
let there be an overgrow of enthusiastic
love in gladness for one another
let there be tolerance that seems elastic
and brotherhood that extends from one to another
let there be an echo undrowned by new voices
an initiation into the love of public opion
let there be removed from us lack lustre
and impacted into us a new poise
the summits of social life in unity
and a march of supriority unto redemption

love, marriage,
Incantations from a distant glow.
Playing fetch with glory,
Never knowing the whole story.
My eyes are dry, tired,
Please save me the warmth of your skin.
These days are like countless hills.
Reaching your summits,
Climbing over my mental factories,
To see you in real time,
To feel your body-sublime,
I'm a cat pawing at shadows half the time.
The other half wishing all clocks sailed into your hair.
I'm the lucky one in the end, I know.
I get to lie down with you tonight,
And tell you how I love you so.

day, longing, love, moon, night, sun,
I’ve flown the valleys
I’ve soared the summits
I’ve stalked the moon
That glitters in your eyes
I’ve walked the deserts
I’ve crossed the seas
I’ve kissed the sun
That shimmers in your eyes

death, goodbye, loneliness, longing, sad,
Farewell, au revoir, arrivederci, auf wiedersehen
to the world that never cared to know my name
To the cerulean seas I've never seen
in which I never swam and searched for shells
and perfect round pearls reflecting rainbows
in the summer sunshine
To the mountains I never got to marvel at
and eagerly ascend to their summits
To the city of my dearest dreams
where I never had the chance to dance
in its palaces and parks
among the flowers and the fountains
To my prince who never found me
to stir my soul from slumber with a kiss
so that I could see colors and know the bliss
of everlasting love sincere and true
To you

Cosmic energy porous
Luminous egg shaped torus
Flanked by Vishnu & Shiva
In the centre seated Brahma
Such is the manifestation
Directly cognised visualisation
Of a friend we know close hand
Who now before God stands
God domain Hirayangarbha
Upon which planet Hirayanyaloka
He meets Jesus & Agastyamuni
Ascended master Yukteswar Giri
The visitation of consciousness
As pure unbound awareness
To love energised Gods domain
By grace alone when ego is slain
There is of course far more to it
Each ascension marks new summits
All we hope is that this validation
Strengthens resolve of our meditation
Making love divine our orientation
