These are mostly 5,7,5 haiku style poems. Sometimes the set limit on syllables helps me condense out overexpression.
Focus on a place
here is a better focus
all encompassing
- on meditation
She beyond herself
branches and flowers show it
extends toward light

Drawn toward from psychic's vision

a treat in rare form

Form combination
broken down ingredients
combination lock

This heavenly feel
powerful loving river
full cup, lots to eat

Quiet and quickly
something like the opposite
or like energy

Fear instilled
for you
to be safe
Holder of Ember
she who couldn't not hold it
your purpose summoned
- on why you're here
Caught embedded fear
does that fool slave beyond pay?
united movement
Fear doesn't survive in love
we're alive in the Darkness
Becoming formless
bodies in life drift away
gravity pulls them
- on the most integral natural law
Sing a temporal song
initiate overcomes
They the remained songs

this experience

August keeps you up
follow Your Shadow out here
is this just your dream?

Parallel to yours
most everything is askew
something's not right

and left you counting

mat
Where are you going?
the force meets the forceless thing

the will to disrupt

Cork in the bottle
let's pull it out together
the bottle of good
- on releasing self from self
Swoop in the garden
come over here and drink friend
cloister Garth a bar
- on a visiting hummingbird
Where's inspiration?
your desires don't exist
look for them inside
- on finding your muse through meditation
Butterflies used to be mirrors
Who reflected
Beautiful souls
This isn't the first
It's the last one above me
This is the second
How forgettable
Here beside the road
Driver do you care?
-waiting for a late night bus
The death of haiku
Just take the least amount
The five seven five
You'll never catch it
That which was thus
Read your memories
(On reliving life through written word)
The sacred gem
Is never easy to find
That isn't sacred
Extinguished candle
Pitched into the darkness
Now we mourn the light
To slice a tart lime
A sensation good night start
Someone in a stream
-on a ritual curated
The tiger hunts
-on women's tennis
An enlightened guide
The master remained opened
Her meditation
-on godessness
