'Sweet Velvet'

The lake stirs in dew drops
of the morning's knowledge,
As oceans hold meetings
On the outhouses of desert laughter.

Frozen water!
And a red rose
emanating fermented pleasure.

Eternity quivers, in studious wondering.
O' forget about me!

Just let the sunset bathe
In its cloudscapes of well-deserved abandonment.
While watching the sailors, toss and turn
aboard their velvet vessels.

Title: 'My Saucy Delight'

She is the stardust mama, 
who feeds with
apple crumbling, humble pie
undeterred, as hill strata atop a cliff.

Adaptable her carapace, 
falling into wholesome rhetoric,

Her bloom spilling out

Like argent syrup-maple chasing hunger.

 Awakening, arousing

so seemingly aerial but smooth

her aroma's beckoning
of an afternoon's enchantment.

Non-stop this sea 
bubbling over with essential round of herring.

pure ocean spice alternating
Between dew drops of the morrows.

Thus the evening quivers,
  Of her delicious rapture

And heaven has popped in, blameless
To dish out her portions

like wet oysters;

Pondering barren shores.

---------------------------------------------

I am pure, naked, transparent Source.
I am completely open, completely knowable with nothing hidden
I am seen and heard so clearly, as my light and sound are very bright.
I am powerful, playful and creative
I am creating a game of hide and seek with myself
I am a designer and creative genius
I am creating different wills and identities, like expensive garments to wear, cover and hide myself within
I am creating free choices and free wills, like shoes to choose from, and step out in.

I am choosing, being that which attracts and experiences only good
I am choosing, being that which has only positive, desirable experiences.
I am choosing, being that which views every experience in life as an opportunity to express love.
I am choosing, being that which gives attention only to the positive and good.
I am choosing, being that which draws attention only to the positive.
I am choosing to be that which chooses

I am creating a separate free will, and making it something which can also choose
I am curious of my creation and how far it can reach
I am creating a toy mirror, and witness my self-reflected in it
I am viewing and experiencing my opposite manifestation, as my self-reflection
I am projecting an image of myself with this mirror, that appears equal and opposite.
I am choosing to project, and experience, that which I am not
I am choosing to experience my polar opposite.
I am fascinated by this image I am projecting
I am forgetting my self, while focusing on this reflection
I am forgetting that I am projecting

I am believing that, I am the reflected image of myself in the mirror.
I am believing that, I and my image are the same
I am believing that, I and my reflection are one and the same
I am choosing to deny my true being
I am choosing to oppose my denial
I am denying the reflection
I am judging the reflection, I am criticising the image
I am obsessing with righting the image that I am reflecting
I am hooked on the image
I am attached to the image
I am convinced the image is who I am
I am convinced the image is not who I am
I am resisting my image
I am fed up with my image
I am looking away from my image in disgust

I am distracted from my image for a moment.
I am remembering something...
I am remembering free will
I am remembering I have choice
I am remembering I can choose not to hide from myself
I am remembering I can choose not to use a mirror, by simply looking directly.
I am remembering I can choose how I see myself
I am remembering I can choose just being once again

I am choosing to be that which chooses
I am choosing, to be that which attracts and experiences all good
I am choosing, to be that which has all healthy, desirable experiences.
I am choosing, to be that which views every experience in life as an opportunity to express love.
I am choosing, to be that which gives attention only to the good.
I am choosing, to be that which draws attention only to the good.
I am choosing free will again
I am choosing to release my separate identity and will
I am choosing to surrender my game of hide and seek, that's past its sell by date

I am a wiser, more powerful, more creative designer
I am choosing to shine my light again
I am creating better games to play and more loving adventures
I am completely open, completely knowable, nothing hidden
I am pure, naked, transparent, wiser, more experienced Source.

'Invisible'

Am I invisible to you 
Or is there really someone here?
Are you programmed to ignore me
Or are you programmed not to care?
How come you cannot see me
Even though I'm bright as day
I stand here right before you
My heart and mind so clear
So why do you despise me
Why can't you just play fair?
I'm not here to cause you trouble
Or to be your enemy
I just want to have a life
That 's kind and just and free.
We all walk the same warm earth
We breathe the same fresh air
We drink the same cool water and
We all want are honest share.
Its not right for you to judge me
The life of someone you've unknown
Whilst you never take the trouble
To check information you've been show
Its now time to let the sadness
And the ignorance be gone
To embrace the truth 
That you and I are one
And one alone.

'Impulse'

roads
woodsmoke
thread bare
he runs through the green
smothering stars and stripes
gold ice reindeer on the porch
found in the broken pulse of time

'Hindsight'

eyes

stampeding

they follow his tracks

she hears all of his lies
each dawn, the broken calls
she listens for his silent breath

his false shadow, his painted skin
for love's sake where has he been?

'Trail Blazing'

roads
christmas
scattered hulks
trucks carve the valley
bones of old industry
transportation for the needy
hot electric storm afternoon

'Sad Woman'

swift
starfire
when she fell
nothing begat her
a pinwheeling pinball
the ghastly centre of her
from below she is a shadow.

'Simple and Fun - Limericks'

All I could muster was to say
'I AM' As I dipped  my sweet muffin in some strawberry jam

All I could do was to kiss the moon
  As I fell head over heels in love withNottingham  ------------------------poem by Rev.Bola - 20.4.10

'Love's Purity'

How pure, 

How dear thy dwelling place. 

You share with me
Beautiful peaceful
This blessed hour atones for all.
I can't stop loving you...no matter what you do
And I would compare thee to a summers day, 

Sunny bright and beautiful
On the wings of dreams I heavenly fly
You gave my heart a home
Our souls united
Caressing tenderly
Not only with eyes, but also 

Heart, soul, entire being
Can you feel this richness?
A softer touch, than any fine feather

Love cast your glow upon my path
You're always there for me
Seeking out much beauty, with your delicateness
My legs refuse to walk away, lingering
Every evening finds you once more,

In my dreams.

Prayer Art(tm): Titled - 'Beautitude'  
  by Rev.Bola A

------------------------------------------------

'Christ Jesus My Valentine'

Lord Jesus you're always on my mind,
I have never met anybody of your kind,
You're my eternal sunshine,
You're my true valentine,
Lord Jesus, you are unbelievably beautiful,
You deserve the world's largest jewel,
Words cannot express,
How you have captured my heart with success,

Lord Jesus, you mean so much to me,
With you I really feel free,
Eternal bliss is where I'm bound,
In your arms is where it's found,
All of you is what I need,
Together, we will succeed,
Until soon, when you will come again,
I will please you in whatever way I can.
