Poetry Reading Live
The Imminent
In the frailty of this uncertain moment.
between the draw of a breath
The uncertain thud of my heart.
Me In waves I wonder why.
Why should it be I?
I who caught the chill.
The dark death filled thrill of disease.
It’s Inevitability, my fragility.
This uncertain momentary me.
Between the telephone calls.
Between the doctors stalled look.
Between the jagged stabs of self inflicted pity.
I wonder-where my soul
Will go, when my body
Turns the key
Turns away from life to die.
To let me go
To let me fly
To let infinity fill the view
To touch the eternity I once knew.
Loved shared laughed and grew.
From a lad from the family that made so glad, happy too.
Those days abundant care filled free.
Returns the chill to the now, of me.
Imminent this immortality.
Liam December 2017



Poetry: The Articulation of a Face
by Liam
“Let the soul speak with the silent articulation of a face.” Rumi
Upon the edge of breaking dawn
I reach out to the waiting morn
“Why am I? Who am I? What am I?”
The silent articulation in
Gods quiet space Echoes,
reverberates in lines across my aging face
Each smile captured
Each laughing moment brings to life
Obliterates the pain the strife
Ripples across an endless sea
These questions lines of poetry
Remind my soul to remember thee
The beginning
The end
The now
Be free


Poetry: Butterflies
by Liam
When she looks at you
Listen up, for those
Deep eyes speak sweet
Words of silent selflessness
Each a butterfly
Alone though the colours, the movements take
My gaze to intoxication
Not my thoughts
My emotional wings take flight feelings
Lifting me peacefully on the intention of the moment
Eyes, gaze, the look
Mesmerize
Quotation

An ILLUSION is a distorted perception of reality

“Half full or half empty is not the illusion, it’s the glass.”

“The Light at the end of the tunnel is not the illusion, it’s the tunnel.”

“Every cloud has a silver lining is not the illusion, it’s the cloud.”






Poetry: One to Eight
by Liam
The one Divine permeates the pattern
Man and Woman create the third which crawling cries
Four corners build the framework of the dwelling
These five senses connect you with a driving mind
The six directions bind you with a life to strive for
Be as clear today as you are in all seven
Be to heaven as you appear
with God innate


Poetry: Phoenix
by Liam
What should I do but participate in love
The troubles the turmoil and pain
Gain nought for this flame melts
It’s from those ashes
Dusty and grey that the Phoenix of Love rises
Born from shame we emerge anew Glowing in the refractive glance
Of Gods own giving
Touch feels free of what was
Intimate integral emancipated in this adventure of now
Me is immaterial, it’s about the ecstatic emulsion of Heaven and now
Whipped up in waves of intensity
Turning towards the source
Happy just because it’s you
Found free alive, in me.

Poetry: Where Light Breaks
by Liam
So much talk
So many lines
Scribbled, written, scrawled
About the manifest, about the mystery
This is the oneness
We are, in the beginning
We are, going to in the end
Each, with everything in between
Dripping, between the fingers of my clenched glove
Licking blood from the wound of my Love
Those days months, slaves to the movement of the moon
Set me free
Let me be
Where light breaks me apart scattering
Thoughts of tomorrow
Creating moments of inspiration happiness and poetry for today.

Transformational Poetry:
Flux
The end is a misconception
Everything is in a process,
We are all in flux
When something concludes, focus forward mindfully
For its there, you create your future new
The past, a memory,
A reflection of my personality
The personal, reality Made by me.

Flux it, stretch it, weave and mould it
Vision board and dream about it
Grow from invisible to visible
The end is a misconception
It’s real
Meditation
I start with meditation
Quickly though a power within my mind
Allows the me to be aware.
Henceforth mindfulness includes care.

I am not mind
I am not body
I am not me
A child of the universal
A person of the light
A being with mighty
Perspectives to share

To initiate the good
Understand the understood
Move on forward to the edge of me
Reach the space of space-less individuality
This not God
This is true Humanity
This is Free
Fly


The Music
What!
Can this be true?
You still dance and laugh although
The music is yours alone
Sung in your mind
Ringing joyfully in your ears
We are never ever separated from the Divine
Even pretending ignorance is useless
We dance none the less
We laugh all the more
Together in the Spirit


Atom
Within the atom lies an entire universe
the positivity
the negativity
the electrons
fly in waves
Or orbits of possibilities
Quantum not quantity
Holds sway
This magnificence is in me too
Be it cells, the enzymes
Hormones, blood or muscle
it’s profound,
it’s deep,
it’s within a field of energy
My heart leaps kicking heals with amazement
How our kind has come to be
This unique epiphany
Let’s also call it Joy and make me free
Free to fly.
Have you too flown to that place of peace?
That home of all, from which a call
Resonates each and every waking day
It’s in the invisible
The atom, cell or sky
We need to look
We need to laugh
We need to coagulate
Around the reality of nothing
To find it
All
