Time leaves space*

Time leaves space*

Sun to settle in the west

A day goes by, blanketing light to rest

Distance away clouds begin to wisp

Ahhhh such a moment, more to ask of this

The sounds of fountains taking rhyme

An essence to be soothe with, present losing time

Depths and shallows both converge

Duality becoming oneness in this merge

The over all feeling of this empty but fulfilled

It is all of balance and perfectly still

Tho nothing has been grasped in this place

All that has happen came and left at its own time and space

Emptiness does not "think"

Emptiness does not "think"

Seems once I had a "thought"

I took a journey as this "thought" I sought

I searched high and even went low

Nowhere this "thought" was here to show

So I gave up and took a stand

Planted my roots into this land

Walking straight up in silence effortlessly

More strides were taken, I knew I was free

So this is is what I become

All alone right here say some

But that is fine in what I now see

I am content within, a tree as all I wish to be

Emptiness free flowing*

Emptiness free flowing*

Autumn preview, the search ends

Twists in life, the tree limbs bend

Not to capture every moment that is seen

Detached from illuison, look it's a dream

Stillness has now been chosen, entered in my heart

Settled in this present, why should I depart

Blood becomes effortless allowing in its flow

My heart swells with love, as all I let go

Stream of consciousness all is clear

Pointing back within myself, centered to be here

Passing of life, like boats on the river Yangtze

Om Mani Padme Hum, to be free and empty

Colors that see a blank*

Colors that see a blank*

Alive it came as it was once upon a time

Spring was in the air and all a fluid rhyme

Bursting from its tips, life in the trees

Opening up and setting it free

Time continued on and green came from the lumber

A little warmer in the temps, oh yes this is summer

Lazy days by river banks and longer nights too

So much life around now all was in view

But these two seasons rapidly come by fast

Seems only a memory soon, this does not last

But something is changing once again in its will

Nights losing their warmth as need a blanket for the chill

Yes colors came and the trees had them all around

It went from green, red, orange, yellow and brown

The clothes of nature gone, soon exposed

A blank canvas comes again I suppose

So this indeed was old man winter coming soon

The sun was hiding more to bring on the moon

Lowering the temps were crystallizing the air

Snow flakes in stock, from clouds everywhere

But old man winter wished his vengeance to release his cold

To bring on frozen fields with Jack Frost so bold

Hence the snow came and fell in collection

More of it knew of its own direction

Now there was no more fall, summer and spring

Harshness with burdens covered nature's things

All one seen an empty canvas with no more paint

Old man winter's color was white to taint

Alas a time has come*

  

Alas a time has come*

Alas that a time has come

Heat of the moment has now been done

Bright newness in the dull of the day

A cooling sensation is now on the way

Gray is the sky that are settling right here

The feeling of this, beginning to shed some tears

As clouds begin to turn inward in a squeeze

A thirst that parched land is in its need

No thunder or lightning in a clatter

Just droplets of tiny gems that go pitter patter

Streaming vertical to come hit the ground

And follow a river home to go back around

Let the clouds empty to fulfill this time

It is rain that makes poetry, listen to it rhyme

The sun knows when to stop this when it is done

Remember this, alas that a time will come

Dom*Colucci 2015

The peaceful moon*

The peaceful moon*

The night came in without a sound

Light walked away, darkness all around

Stillness the Soul* felt and went very deep

The heart was filled with love, this shall it keep

It seemed that this moment was here to last

Though all was moving onward, as all to pass

I go deeper into a meditative state

To erase all that is here, having a clean slate

It is into this Soul*, the pinnacle of my being

Emptiness in the abode, clarity in seeing

When I arise from this I become the still and calm

Now right in front of me, the moon peacefully sits in the pond

Do not "mind"*

Do not "mind"*

Oh logic "mind"

What did you find?

Something to be appeased?

Why do you search?

All the long that you hurt

To never be at ease

Let yourself go

And then you will know

That you never exist

It is emptiness that you are

Now that you have gone this far

From emptiness nothing resists

Dom*Colucci © 2015

The naked blanket*

The naked blanket*

There is a change coming, feel it in the air

The picture is dying out, you see it everywhere

Even though the beauty, temporarily was here

Now it has come to let go, nothing in nature interferes

The wind is colder and it blows all around

It makes the leaves do a dance in the surround

There still is a bit of life that slowly continues on

But it just knows that soon it will be gone

The trees show their nakedness as it is their truth

They have to live within and feed off their roots

Ominous to be, that a winter will be here soon

To make this emptiness, a blank canvas and more room

Nothing lets go of all*

Nothing lets go of all*

Ignorance attaches to so many things

It comes in attraction that this does bring

It sees its victim as temptation begins

The more you hold on, it starts over and over again

An anchor that you just do not see

How is one liberated from this and let it be?

But not to seek such things and pay attention in the surround

You can see this in plain sight, it is all around

It is not of material as this is perceived

For its substance carries all, emptiness to believe

It knows of all that grows from their seed

It is nothing that knows it has everything it does not need

Dom*Colucci 2014

Still it speaks*

Still it speaks*

Clouds float on by as they go away

Emptiness with fluidity, time goes through the day

Steps that were here previously from before

No wall is the obstacle, gateless gate is the door

Further on in silence, direction it is not

What just came into view, I left alone and forgot

Every part of this that leads me to something I can hear

Drawing me so close, yes so close that it is near

Seems there is no objective in this as this has been seen

To know of not knowing, this is what it means

So I come across what has called and now in view

A little bit more and I am here, so now I go through

Stop for the moment to absorb why I came

Vision that I seen, ironically it is the same

Moving gently like a slow moving creek

I am listening real closely to a still pond that speaks

Dom*Colucci 2014

Gloomy to be so roomy*

Gloomy to be so roomy*

The clouds are here today, such a gloom

All alone I am, here in this room

I look out the window in hoping to find

A lover to be true to, with piece of mind

But it seems this time that my heart is veiled

And emptiness is swallowing it, hurt to prevail

So lonely is I to look at these walls

And stare into misery until I get a call

Dom*Colucci 2013

My heart cries in empty love*

My heart cries in empty love*

My love has vanished and I feel some sorrow

Broken heart, no healing from today or tomorrow

What could I have done to have such pain

To leave this emptiness and to endure such stain

I am left alone to be hurtful right here

And to show what it feels like by shedding my tears

Dom*Colucci 2013

Patience puts the puzzle together*

Patience puts the puzzle together*

I have been searching for that one love

Someone out of a dream that I can be fond of

In this process I have been looking all around

But it seems that I have seen this with ups and downs

In this though with a little despair I see

I know that there is one out there for me

When the time is right it all falls into place

It will be someone that fills my heart in that empty space

So for the time being, I will just follow my heart

And let my Soul* guide me and let it do its part

Patience is a big factor that is in this and willing to do

As in the end it all comes together, this puzzle I went through

To wait is divine*

To wait is divine*

Many long nights I did not sleep

Oceans of tears that made me weep

I asked one day that you would be back again

To bring love within my heart so we may begin

But as I was walking down an empty street

I happen to look up a bit, then our eyes did meet

I ran to you as fast as I could

For it became love all over as I knew it would

Dom*Colucci 2013

Not to see a memory*

Not to see a memory*

Once you were here next to me

We had a beautiful life, so happily

But then one day, I felt something was gone

It was you and all my memories now done

So it is now emptiness that I feel the most

I cannot imagine how you turned into a ghost

Dom*Colucci 2012

Love, I am free*

Love, I am free*

Break me free 

The tie of the never world has no use for me

Its longing was overdo

Like I was empty

My Soul*, yes my Soul* emptied

But this is the truth

No substance to linger onto

A slip has brought me right here

Right where it all began

Nothing*

Dom*Colucci 2012

Just move along, you'll see*

Just move along, you'll see*

The clouds are leaving to make a bright sunny day

Birds are singing in the sky and flying on their way

It is such a joy to see it all come together

What an opening for a new day, with great warm weather

This is a moment that one definitely keeps

To be inspired by their Spirit, from wisdom that is so deep

This magnetic gem of a day, feeling so happy it is here

You can definitely have a sensation so strong enough to adhere

Yes while moving along you create your own freedom in the sun

Why do you ever feel this way?....It is from where you just begun

To enjoy life in every thing that will come to you

It is a thing called Awareness and it is Love that makes you pass through

This is your journey with such elation, your own personal paradise

The process of being free is letting go of all things, for this to be wise

It is clarity that one seeks to be effortlessly moving ahead

Remember that it is better to be on empty than run a full tank instead

Now move along and see the wonder that is in front of you

It is your Soul* pushing you along as it knows exactly what to do

Eye paints the picture*

Eye paints the picture*


I stare for awhile, a moment I gaze
I look once again, a trance in a maze
But I ponder a bit and see it crystal clear
Getting the meaning of this, for it is always here
I am not of any critic to be of such art
But know of this painter, they did it from their heart


Dom*Colucci 2012

It is "still" art*

It is "still" art*


Dazzling to see as it definitely shows
A tad bit of hue stolen from a rainbow
Porcelain to glass, that this one holds
Looking at it all, a story to be told
Draping from a vase, out the color spills
I take my brush and canvas, and paint it "still"


Dom*Colucci 2012

Emptied Love*

Emptied Love*


Feeling that was so Loving, this is where I landed
I turn in one moment, gone and you left me stranded
My heart was in such a flux, what was I suppose to do 
The hurt got more intense, the heart it went right through
I did search for you and kept it up with my demands
But when it was all over, my heart was empty like a desert with no sand
