#freepoems - Hello Poetry

From the golden pearls placed on its doors, my breath got cut short. Its sliver coloring shook me to my core. I saw it’d started to widen , thought I would see the world’s most beautiful garden... but instead : stood, before me a pit of fire and hell that could **** me, and melt the life I have inside of me , I saw flames that spoke to me “Ryan”

The Gates to Heaven

From the golden pearls placed on its doors, my breath got cut short. Its sliver coloring shook me to my core. I saw it’d started to widen , thought I would see the world’s most beautiful garden... but instead : stood, before me a pit of fire and hell that could **** me, and melt the life I have inside of me , I saw flames that spoke to me “Ryan”

One day when life was full of peace My mentor told me something to tease Who are you? Why are you here? What’s your purpose in life, my dear? Are you going to float till you die? Or are you going to find out why? Are you the body? Are you the mind? Go on a quest the truth to find. Questions made me start my search I went to a temple, mosque and church Who was God and where was he? Where could heaven and hell be? How was I born? What caused this I? What will happen after I die? I started my quest to find the truth I would not stop till I get to the root Every religion said the truth is mine Each scripture boasted that its version was fine Don’t ****** don’t steal, don’t have wine Rituals were plenty to live and dine But nobody talking of the truth Nobody had found out the real brute The enemy was none else than our mind Where it is you cannot find Although you know, you do not know Whatever you see, you cannot see The truth is staring at your face But you are busy in the world’s race Who am I, you do not know The ego seems to steal the show We are slaves of desire and lust What is the myth, we do not bust We live, we die, don’t find out why And we just cry when we see someone die Who made this earth? Who made this sky? Who made you and them and I? We believe in the lie We don’t ask why Whatever we are told We just buy We fret and fume through life and sigh The truth passes us by, we let it fly We come and go but we don’t know The world is nothing but a cosmic show With empty hands, we all come And nothing is ours when all is done But still, we live and die and cry We don’t ask questions, who and why Ignorance fills our life’s sky And instead of laughing we just cry Those who realize the whole truth Those who get to the bottom root Those who put everything to test Those who go on a search and quest Those who question who and why Those who know they will never die They are the ones who live in bliss, Joy and peace, they do not miss What is the purpose of life on earth? Why do we die and why this birth? Who made this earth, who made this sky? Who causes things to walk and fly? If you don’t find out who am I And you just cry until you die Then you’ll just run, you won’t have fun And in a flash life will be done.

Who Are You and Why Are You Here?

One day when life was full of peace My mentor told me something to tease Who are you? Why are you here? What’s your purpose in life, my dear? Are you going to float till you die? Or are you going to find out why? Are you the body? Are you the mind? Go on a quest the truth to find. Questions made me start my search I went to a temple, mosque and church Who was God and where was he? Where could heaven and hell be? How was I born? What caused this I? What will happen after I die? I started my quest to find the truth I would not stop till I get to the root Every religion said the truth is mine Each scripture boasted that its version was fine Don’t ****** don’t steal, don’t have wine Rituals were plenty to live and dine But nobody talking of the truth Nobody had found out the real brute The enemy was none else than our mind Where it is you cannot find Although you know, you do not know Whatever you see, you cannot see The truth is staring at your face But you are busy in the world’s race Who am I, you do not know The ego seems to steal the show We are slaves of desire and lust What is the myth, we do not bust We live, we die, don’t find out why And we just cry when we see someone die Who made this earth?

Life is a mystery ‑ We can’t track its history It may seem to start at birth and seem to end at death But what seems to be life’s end… is but a bend to transcend Body, mind and soul are what make life whole But then comes death and we lose our breath We mistake Happiness to be life’s goal Until we realize – No! We must liberate our soul The saddest thing is we don’t know the meaning of life We live and we die with sadness and strife We want this and that to be Happy and Glad But we end up being miserable, greedy and sad Life is a journey ‑ Like a river, we must flow From God, we came and to God, we must go Life is a Drama ‑ we desire and we crave But nothing will be ours when we go to the grave We foolishly think we are the body and mind Until we get the “Aha”, we are the soul we find We don’t know where we came from and don’t know where we will go The Goal of Life is to reach the other shore Most people don't live life; they just seem to exist The cravings of the body, they just can't resist They are so busy, no time to go on a quest To find out who we truly are, putting life to a test Of course, we are not the body - in the end, it will die Are we the mind and ego? No, at death, they will fly We are the Life Energy that departs at death... We are the life itself that gives us our breath We live in ignorance; the truth we don't find We forget that we are the soul, not the body and mind The God that we seek in a temple or a church Lives inside our own hearts - a place we don't search We are not this, not this....we are that! Not the body, not the mind, the soul, in fact The purpose of life is to realise this Goal - We are not the body and mind. We are the Soul!
