Travel free my inner scapegoat
You’re liberated, off this hook
No more shame-horned
Guilt-stomached dread,
       scarce enough to wrong-bare
Not startle-sneezed or tremble-shook

I excise redundant remnants
Bad wattle glands where crime hangs large
Not Billie-blame,
Nanny-regret
       or just a wrongless kid
No fair-trial felon, biased charge

Imagine dropping heavy torts
The solid clunk as fault hits floor
Past carried light
Kind compassion
       wide enough to weight-bare
Rich mixed plant pasture evermore
An end to serveless inner war

pulses of love
overcoming all

reaching out
from beyond

loves all is love
definitive purity

love is a heartbeat
-a shared love

loves heart was the first to beat
from everlasting to everlasting

love always was
- a shared beating heart

Moo
What aghast consumes us to not share a lil of what we have,
Is it being bereft of our nature?
Our astounding nature to love,
Why have we locked it deep within hatred,
So one must suffer,
To have what we were made to already give,
What inspires you to hate?
It is for a fact a misleading virtue,
It doesn't strengthen the roots of ones power,
It robs and dwindles a lil of his nature as a man,
And makes him unrecognisable,
a stranger to those familiar,
So tell me dear father,
Why do you hate?
What is the cause of your perpetual anguish?

night devouring more of day
cold on the air warmth in the hearth

spinning away from the Sun
deep black afire with stars

bonfires of garden clutter
spiralling smoke from chimneys

winter has her lovers
bundled up under the covers.

to love without reward
to give freely

to love even when hated
to give utterly

to love in the face of death
to have given all.
nivek Oct 2024
to be on a journey
sets free the mind and heart

-the constant
in a world of change

travelling a cosmic road
a spiritual journey

the road unravelling
-each moment.
