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

Walk this way home*

Walk this way home*

Alone in this moment as I drift away

All around in detachment no longer to stay

A deeper sense of being to walk to the abode

My heart patiently settles to release a heavy load

The closer I get, feeling the embrace with its arms

A richer feeling of acceptance as this turns warm

I can never look back in where I just came

Just like a lit candle wick with its flame

Tho there may not be nothing here but empty space

But that is OK, all of what use to be is erased

Within that I become and chaos has now ceased

I have found my home within and all of its peace

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

Journey to end with the light*

Journey to end with the light*

Life one day started out like a candle stick

Inside of it was its path, the wick

Once it was on its way to be lit

This light took direction and that was it

Melting it was through the moments in time

Each spot through this it made, oxygen it did find

Lower and lower the wick burned through

A steady flame that knew what to do

No longer was it to be upright and firm

It just kept moving onward, the wick it did burn

Dissolving with itself, a waxy build up in the blend

A lit step at a time, nearing it's end

One thing that was noticed, expiration so near

It was the past of this candle, that was slowly to disappear 

Once things are in motion there is only one thing do

Is surviving in the next moment, something they must go through

Like are friend the candle not goo from it's blend

But was it great use on the path from beginning to end

The route (root) of fruit*

The route (root) of fruit*

So tender and wise is the seed

Before it comes for the world and its need

It knows how a vital role it plays

That in its maturity of patience for days

The moment that it begins to grow

It removes its shell, wisdom starts to show

A pattern that was learn before it came

To be on the path, be assertive and remain

Upward it grows, a poke through the ground

Making its trunk from roots to bark without sound

Leaves from limbs a fashion to be made

But of course a protection from heat with its shade

Blessed is the day when the fruit comes to be

Popping out sporadically all over the tree 

But it waits for the moment for it to release

A certain calm within its trunk and tension begins to cease

Now as the moment has come from being attached

As it knew when it was a bud that merged from its hatch

Flourish and prosper, leaves the parent alone

As now it belongs to the Universe on its own

Oh wondrous and beautiful that something to ripen sweet

And then to fall gracefully in front of its parents feet

An apple that now has become delicious fruit

But it all started from the seed within it and made it from a root

I came here to be no longer*

I came here to be no longer*

There once was a place where there was a long sleep

Eyes that did not see its truth as deep it doth keep

But something was about to happen, a bright new moment came

This total blindness was no longer the same

Everything all at once came alive

Seems what was held back this all survived

Bright and radiance with love all around

It manifested itself into the world without a sound 

It grew from its abundance happily as it seemed

Yes there was no more going back to a dream

It enjoyed a dance of gentle winds

A continuous plushness of a season again and again

But something was felt no longer to be here

Something was moving away no longer to be near

What could this be as it slowly moving along

Feels like something missing soon to be gone

Oh my goodness, leaves on the trees are starting to change

It is getting colder now, this was not the same

Soon I  was watching on how all things depart

All was withering away, something was about to start

I watched things taken away and took it all in view

It seems I became helpless in not knowing what to do

I guess it was my turn next, I had to allow

My experience was then taken away as I was no longer here now

A prison break*

A prison break*

Eyes that have endured nothing but pain

Back to the broken heart that to which is stained

No joy that can enter in such place

Being alone in sorrow, hiding one's face

No light of day has been seen to come

Looking for a savior to be free, so far no one

A plead that is requested to take this away

But no ears have heard this yet, goes another day

I beg of a moment that I have this love

And to bring back the wonder that I am made of

Please. please I wish of a heart that sees

So this cage can be open, with wings to be set free

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

Adherence to seeing what sees*

Adherence to seeing what sees*

An illusion and trick of this world to be in

Time comes with struggle again and again

Deceived into conformity seems right after birth

But as I press on with this, it is no worth

Doing my best to figure it all out

The deeper that I get with it, nothing but doubt

No awakening yet, the waste of another day

More of the glue of ignorance that really stays

So how does one break from what one has been taught

Be free from memories and see what needs to be sought

I guess the moment will come on its own accord

And leave all these notions that I cannot afford

Enlightenment will be when I am free of my "mind"

Allowing all things to be free of themselves and that will be fine

With this then there is nothing more that I can do

It is something I cannot see but instead it sees me in its view

A seed is freed, the flower*

A seed is freed, the flower*

Without any purpose or cause to be

Deep within knows when it is time to be free

Held underneath away from its world

The moment it knows how to unfurl

Yet patience comes just a bit longer

It sees through this on how to be stronger

Yes the time has come to remove the darkness from its night

And to move with silence through stillness, to now see the light

Dom*Colucci 2015

Taken when awaken*

Taken when awaken*

I shall close my eyes and dream real deep

See you in such place of hearts to keep

Your Soul* next to mine I shall feel

Entwined with our passions, moments to be real

The deeper I go, more I am into you

Love is here now, between us two

May I dream a little more, for heaven's sake

And when it is over, to pull from here when we awake

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

See yourself now not later*

See yourself now not later*

Time seems to go by as we have nothing to say

Before you know it the night is here, gone is the day

So each moment that is here as I sit and I ponder

Looking beyond what I see as I begin to wander

Tomorrow may come but that will be something to see

So instead I will focus on the present to see the me that is me

Dom*Colucci © 2015

Just let it pass by*

Just let it pass by*

I came across on one afternoon

Perfect the moment was harmonious tune

I felt the presence of love being here

Just like the flow of the stream, so crystal clear

A joy that was in my heart of bliss

That day went by as I will never miss

Dom*Colucci © 2015

Walk and see what is here*

Walk and see what is here*

Come walk with me for a million miles

I will watch over you for a long, long while

You need not plan in the life ahead

But I am in your heart to live this moment instead

For I have been here before, to see you through

And know every step that you will be going into

Life is within you presently, it is your heart

Do not move beyond to be separate and apart

So with this that you are now with me

No longer shall you search to look, for it is I to make you see

A new always begins*

A new always begins*

The myth we confront as what eyes to look

Goes by like the pages of an  open book

For what is without us is an illusion indeed

That is not who we are when we know who to be

When you narrow it down and watch it implode

The external world begins its end and starts to erode

Take away its darkness in the night

Or brilliance of the day with its light

When you leave this by itself you will get a better view

You will find out of one only, it is you that is the truth

So no longer can you be what made you outside of here

You have now established a place, so accurate and so clear

Nothing else can possibly be a life you once known

Sought nowhere to go from that, in missing your home

Hence you will find out that all stems from you within

Every moment that this happens, a new you always begins

Dom*Colucci 2014

Beyond our Soul*s that kiss*

Beyond our Soul*s that kiss*

My heart trembles in romance, it is you all along

To place my love that I feel in you, where it belongs

The sight that I see that your eyes shows me so

It is beyond those eyes in you, your Soul* that I know

Because of these eyes that I know that we connect

That heart of love inside you, my heart to direct

Beauty of us both with our love that is one

Now the merge in togetherness, both our Soul*s we have won

Sacred is this moment, both of our hearts feel of love

Set our roots into each other and grasp for the heavens above

Climbing into ecstasy and excitement in our Soul*s so much

This feeling that we both share, we are gentle as we touch

Oh wonderful passion, this moment that it gives

More we grow from this, the heart is stronger that we live

Continue on from this and never to resist

From this heated passion, this goes beyond from our Soul*s that kiss

Dom*Colucci 2014

My heart "a"rose*

My heart "a"rose*

The beauty is life and the joy that it brings

Gentleness it becomes like butterfly wings

Such a feeling like a lightness in a cloud

This moment with no questions of why or how

Just enjoying that love that I feel deep inside

Sending a signal to the Soul*, both now satisfied

Now this within me and the heart that knows

The rose that is the heart vibrantly grows

Dom*Colucci 2012

Blissful sweet freedom*

Blissful sweet freedom*

Imagine how life is so simple and carefree

This is how a butterfly sees it, even a honeybee

Open to go all over, moving happily in the air

No plans in sight but enjoying everywhere

State of contentment, a heart full of bliss

Knowing where sweet nectar is, a flower to kiss

Every moment that comes as it passes by

Freedom with wings and to take refuge in the sky

Dom*Colucci 2014

Time is "still" moving*

Time is "still" moving*

Being patience my love, is always a task

Time goes by slowly, moments forever last

But fret not in such time in sitting there alone

Something is teaching you to be on your own

Use your imagination, creativity to look

Even if it is to take comfort and read a book

A pause now and then for it is good to be here

To learn what this moment is to be so clear

Then of this, it is time that withers away

Remember it is this virtue, patience that stays 

With this bit of insight that now you know it is done

Great to have companion of the present,

Now another moment in time is gone
