One must sleep before they are awakened*

One must sleep before they are awakened*

Every bit of detail in life evaporates 

On to another section that it creates

Gone is what you have just seen

Like it was enveloped in the open it seemed

For  it was a motion picture moving on

Turn your head and blink your eyes, it's done

Nothing is anchored down

Even from silence, the slightest of sound

Yet this movie continues to prevail

So then this illusion becomes a fairy tale 

To the one in the hub watches this wheel

How this illusion entices the Soul* to steal

As the wheel continues its movement on its way

To the enlightened one, it has broke free not to stay

Still no matter what in this sea of nothingness

The only fulfillment from nothing more is balance to nothing less

To be that one that becomes wise to what it takes

Just learn to let go, open your eyes and become Awake

The ending came as it croaked*

The ending came as it croaked*

A nice afternoon is where I begin

I arrive at a pond to meditate within

Joyful as this is peace that it brings

I am underneath a locust tree, songbirds start to sing

I affix my self in an opening near the reeds

Ready to look inside myself, a moment to be free 

I sit  in a lotus position, I fit my being centrally as I stay

Now I am in my focus, my eyes turn inward in a gaze

It all comes together this feeling of bliss and to be still

I have made it to the other side without effort to my will

The world around me has enveloped me in such peace

Even right Now from raging winds this all came to a cease

I go a little deeper and a more placid sense of calm

I open my eyes a bit and see no ripples on the pond

The trees in a distance little movement as they stay

It is like they do ZAZEN, in the night and all day

But out of all this a little utterance from the wind as it spoke

When I awakened out of this, it was because a bull frog just croaked

To grow beyond but be right here*

To grow beyond but be right here*

To be here alone and not to drown

In such silence without a sound

No detachment of stillness cannot come apart

The more I settle inward the closer to me heart

Now that I have reached a place so deep

The love that I feel comes to me to keep

It is in these depths that the surface stays afloat

To give lift in where I am and not to demote

So in this arisen awaken state

I seem to move upward, vastness is my fate

Eternal that I stepped beyond this place I had stayed

To grow beyond this surface and reach heaven is this way

Love and trust, the awakened lotus*

Love and trust, the awakened lotus*

Worldly pleasures of desires so deep

Attached to those things that the heart does not keep

A darkened world that is stuck like the mud in the pond

Illusions to tempt to excite not to make calm

But something is not with that world within

It has been awakened always to be born again

It sleeps away from that darkness it does not see

It is not of any shadow for it is truly free

When the sun comes up in the daylight

It knows when a path is made, leaving the night

Protected by love, petals look like hands folded to a prayer

Through cool murky waters, awakened to be here from there

Now it has surfaced and it shows its beauty to the world

Petals open up, received the love as it unfurls

It sees itself always as it is in a consciousness that trusts

Coming here over and over, enlightened where it is,

For it is the beauty of the awakened lotus

Contented love of the lotus*

Contented love of the lotus*

I arise like the lotus in the day from the mud

I open myself up to be the bloom from the bud

I seek the sunshine that gives me the beauty this way

And show the whole universe throughout the day

To me there is nothing in this world to ever find

For that is a shadow that is left behind

Though I am only momentary to be in this light

Then back in the murk for it is my home at night

But enjoy my beauty while you can

As where I am placed, content where I stand

It is because of the silence and stillness to be calm

And the unconditional love that I sit in this pond

Dom*Colucci 2013

No murk when I arise*

No murk when I arise*

Oh darkness cast a spell as I dream

From the light into night without a seam

Deep I go on the other side of this world

To bring about many secrets that begin to unfurl

A journey that I have never left being right here

When it is over departing back so crystal clear

To continue from the sound sleep then to open my eyes

Awakening this morning, like the lotus to the sunrise

Dom*Colucci 2013

Simple, I love you*

Simple, I love you*

If there is anything to be happy with it is you with me

How you give me such life to be of joy and carefree

To know how much you support me, always this way

And feel like a vibrant lotus and to arise of this everyday

Coming to you with openness in your heart and so warm

And to be of togetherness and of oneness in your arms

What more can I ever say, what more can I ever do

But it will always be three words and they are, I love you

Dom*Colucci 2013

Soul* filled freedom*

Soul* filled freedom*

Each breath that I take, it is with my Soul*

Love that is within, that both make us whole

Beauty like a lotus flower, made perfect in its art

Wondrous sensation, coming straight from my heart

Oh how much joy can this ever be or feel

This moment I am in, that my eyes it did reveal

For the Soul* I have, now has been seen

Wiping the veil from my eyes, away from a dream

I have never been of this or even know of the way

That something that loved me and always did it stay

The power that it has, that it gives to me

The wisdom like a fountain flowing and forever to be free

Dom*Colucci 2013

The lotus is within*

The lotus is within*

When the sun arises, so the lotus awakes

Through the murky mud, it shall make

The beauty of it opens up and captivates

A rejoice through the night, it comes to celebrate

Though the focus is not outside the world but it is within

This is where its reality is and so it begins

For its only purpose is to show itself that is so pure

Even though what is around it supports it and that is for sure

It will never know of the outer realm and see if it works

When that comes around, back underwater into the murk

Lotus of the evening*

Lotus of the evening*


Oh twilight in the evening sky
Light of the day has Now passed by
But a sparkling distance enhances the night
Brilliant diamonds all around, what a sight
Ahhh!!!such a beauty in darkened fashion
To bring out two Lovers in romantic passion


Hearts are filled with Love we know
Illuminating heavenly bodies all a glow
With these two Lovers a night captivated desire
To light a flame, to make the wick afire
Burning hearts as intimacy is first
Both involved in entwining, quenching Love's thirst


The sensation gets warmer between the two
Romance pulls more forward, knowing what to do
Ecstatic feeling bringing both higher and higher
This moments of a Love affair seems not to tire
Finally the climax of it all being brought on real soon
A lotus of the evening comes, a romantic full moon

Alive and Kicking*

Alive and Kicking*


My Love is within my Soul*
Each moment always beginning to unfold
Like it is the bloom of a Lotus Flower
Arising from the muck into the light for many hours
From this muck that seems to be thickened
This flower of purity is alive and kicking


Dom*Colucci 2012

The Lotus, the Soul*

The Lotus, the Soul*

Entangled in the world so cold

Emerging from the muck, as a whole

Slipping off the ignorance that grew

But it is the time of love, the Soul* that knew

Now with both in that world that was so cold

Stand together with beauty in the hearts of gold

Love never freezes up*

Love never freezes up*


My Love, it seems life is so cold
The heart needs strength to be so bold
But it is from your heart with Love to keep so warm
Come let us Love each other, entwined in our arms
To be close and have this burning desire
The frost we use to have, is Now melted with our fire

Lotus flower with Love in the sun*

Lotus flower with Love in the sun*


I walk in the garden, early this morn
Feeling the sunlight so brilliantly and so warm
I gaze upon the lily pond, a lotus flower I see
Coming out of the muck, with purity as can be
For I feel its radiant Love that it has all the time
It arises from such mud,always to see the sun shine


Dom*Colucci 2011

The Adirondack with Love*

The Adirondack with Love*

What love is this, that my heart sings aloud

For you by my side that we two have no crowd

I will hold your hand and take you soaring high

We will go to the Adirondack way up in the sky

I will show you how breath taking love can be

And you will be amazed at my heart, wait and see

The Lotus of beauty*

The Lotus of beauty*

Lotus blossom you sit in the pond of murk
You use the light to guide you without work
You stem up and the bloom pops out
The beauty comes alive without a doubt
As it is in refreshing to see minds eye
And even more beautiful with blue skies

Dom*Colucci 2010

Lotus Love*

Lotus Love*

There are plenty of illusions in this world
Left alone one watches how life unfurls
It is like the precious Lotus that blossoms in the daylight
As it pokes and prods through the murky mud with all its might
Now when this beauty comes and has fully arose
One can sense more of a lesson, I suppose
For it is that beauty without judgement or critique
It is always in ones Soul that the Soul shall always seek
The dirt and pain which stems all around
Now the beauty of Lotus makes it to the world without a sound
