Love in my life, a Soul* with ZEN*

Love in my life, a Soul* with ZEN*


The Love of my life as it begins
Deep rich feeling in my Soul*, it is ZEN*
It is how one who suffered most of their life
Obstacles a plenty, a time of strife
But then one thing came, as I did learn
It was in the art of letting go and took its turn


The next phase I walked into, one exclaims "OH BOY!!!"
It is what I have found within, that gives so much joy
Starts out with a few words in silence, then I follow through
Now my purpose is serving and know just what to do
Without any teachings from outside of me
The less I become out there the more inside I am to be


Next phase of this is Love within and this is the hidden treasure
It is my guiding light, wisdom my greatest pleasure
Now on this journey, no destination in any place
It is what I stand into, for it is origin and allows me this space
So to me I look inside where there is no cause to condition
Growing with my Soul*, the Love of my heart to fruition

In the bosom of the Soul*

In the bosom of the Soul*


Forced without force to be right here
The emptiness all around, always so near
You become its depths but it really is the shallows
Total void around, moving through its hollows
It is a fictitious place on a map not seen
An outline of illusion that is only a dream


The mind's eye sees this illusion as far away
A reality many believe that has come to stay
No, look again something brought it here to see
Shallows that wish to have, the depths letting it be
Just be silent for a bit, something comes around again
It is next to you as it will enter and slowly begin


For of non duality it is seen in sight
No need to use effort, it shows you in light
It is a Ah Ha moment, Now knows you are there
You see what this is, because you are well Aware
It is the combination of two that what it is to be
It is you and your environment, the laws of simultaneity


Next phase is proper, the two combined as one
This present came from before, seen you and was done
So with this simple Truth, advance into view
The rest of your existence is Now inside of you
Yes it had nothing to do with an outer world to make you whole
It carried you in its forever bosom, it was the Love of your Soul*

Nothing is harmony*

Nothing is harmony*


Totally into a place nothing supports
From its gathering, there are no cohorts
Harmonious blend to be on track
You cannot see this because it is from the abstract
With this, logic and reasoning chases to greet
But it cannot be seen, lost in a world made of concrete


Awareness bumps it up and no thinking left to do
You are the only one in this, for it is shown in plain view
Deeper involve that one becomes in the void you see
The only oneness about this, look around it is free
A step into it and it accepts you to be with the next moment allowed
You have really gone nowhere, faced by staring at here and Now


Yes, it has done its job by doing its very best
It is the Universe you are, for it is you it manifests
You will Now become of it and it will always be around
It has no name, no label, it is nothing without a sound
The texture that it is a mixture for it to be
It is you only you a place filled with nothing but harmony

Calmness, deep on the surface*

Calmness, deep on the surface*


A nice afternoon is where I begin
I arrive at a pond to meditate within
Joyful is this peace that it does brings
Underneath a locust tree, songbirds start to sing
I affix myself in an opening near the reeds
Ready to look inside myself, a moment to be free


Sitting in lotus position, my being central as I stay
Breathing is correct, eyes turn inward as I gaze
It all comes together, bliss and to be still
Emptiness on the other side, effortlessly in my will
The world around has me enveloped in such peace
Winds are dying down, from a breeze that came to cease


I go a little deeper, having a more placid sense of calm
My eyes open a little and see no ripples on the pond
Trees in the distance little movement as they stay
It is like they do ZAZEN, during the night and all day
Out of silence a little utterance from the wind, as it spoke
I am out of these depths Now as I heard a bullfrog croak


Dom*Colucci 2012

Slipping into darkness, eye see*

Slipping into darkness, eye see*

Night falls and the darkness settles all around

With the daylight gone, this also makes no sound

An overcast that a shadow grew

The light takes retreat, someplace it goes to

The environment shows itself turning into a mask

Creating blindness to see with, to it an easy task

Its mission is too cover all ground as much as it can

To envelope all objects, one big shadow where they stand

More and more rapidly, light fades away

Enveloping in the sky also on the ground where it will stay

Yes nocturnal as this may seem to be

Fearful ones take refuge, not dare to come out and see

To those that are not afraid and slip out of sight

Long more to do this like ninjas in the night

Fear is to those that there are more shadows from inside

They run away from the Truth, their Soul*s do not confide

But to those in darkness seeing things to let them be

It is those that blend in this with only their eyes they do see

Dom*Colucci 2012

Art of peace*

Art of peace*


I am a samurai trained to fight
To keep this sacred land always so right
It is within me my roots run deep and strong
Solid and cemented right where I belong
When a moment arises from its saber rattle
You can rest assure, that I will be gone to battle


For Now tensions begin from what I reckon
The call has come, so I go when it beckons
To keep this society well Loved and free
To guard it from outside chaos, as I do agree
I take to course like music from a chord
My weapons have been chosen, a samurai sword


I see the tensions, lunge forth has acquired
I hold back a moment and I subdue my desire
Someone has set up a truce, as tensions cease
We have skillfully won, both sides the art of peace
I did not draw my sword as it stayed in the sheath instead
This is how wars should be won, without losing any bloodshed

The opening of here*

The opening of here*




The other side of the door is so near
When I cross that threshold I know I will be here
For it seems this place entices me so
It's intuition in Awareness that already knows
That to me, I have left something behind
It was a character of a dream that one could never find




A veil has shrouded me to see this place
But here, this is no mirror to show my face 
It is full of substance and makes me whole 
It is the home I have always looked for, it is the Soul*
No need to advance no longer at my will
The fountain is tapped by being calm and still




No other thing, place or being kept me upright to hold
It was this being that Loved me and a story that was told
Now I need not no longer from this place, what this being is to me
It continuous knows everything that it sees before I see
Yes I can recall once in a dream so clear
I have seen this place before, as I know Now I am here




Dom*Colucci 2012

Here, once again*

Here, once again*


Don't you seen who you are and the place you have been?
You walked many times in it, again and again
It knows of your moves before they are hatched
It is the laws of simultaneity, a perfect match
Now all the footprints have been made a blue print drawn
To become of this, every objective in your life is Now gone


You are Now of everything, the present is aligned
This locked in feeling and the openness of the sublime
You made your roots from foundation and Now you grow
A perfect balance of all things your Awareness does show
This place has no hidden agenda or dark mystery
It is a place that no longer sits in the future or no history


This is one place that will end all things to come
For this place is ZEN* and in ZEN* it is already done
You have went back to Source and seen what is inside
It was the Soul* within you that Now keeps you satisfied
No longer of any knowledge to seek outside ever again
In this place that is of the Awakening, your time resets to begin


Dom*Colucci 2012

You are Awakened*

You are Awakened*

There maybe darkness deep within

But this is where it all begins

It is a place that shows of its light

A guidance system that knows of insight

To many of those of such blind eyes

But when they are open, they will be surprised

For where this is there is no such thing as chance

A solid foundation comes from this inner glance

A presence that one has been here before

To say the least no less and no more

From this foundation, wisdom is in place

Goes beyond all corridors of the Universe in space

Now that one has seen this, feeling of Trust and no longer hoping

It becomes of what is around you that made your inner eyes open

It made you go where no one else does if they dare

The intuitive feeling it gave you made you well Aware

The strength of inner being is Now you and not be forsaken

Now open your eyes, the dream is over and you are Awaken

Thine kingdom come*

Thine kingdom come*


Out of nowhere came a noble domain
Achieving what it was, a kingdom with no name
From this nobility a castle to be formed
The king and queen as well and a princess to be born
But for the time being the ruler enjoyed his life
He gave a great deal of his power to his Loving wife


The empire was solid and was also so strong
The people that served the royalty could never do no wrong
But something was not right and it needed to exist
A future to hold the kingdom and its manner to consist
So one day the king asked his wife, it seems that was in its need
To seek for an offspring to rule so both of them agreed


The time had come and to much to their success
The queen had a beautiful daughter, the king a princess
Now that one had been established, the other could be a prince
This may take a little time, we cannot do this in a cinch
The king looked high and low as he traveled for many miles
In hoping that his daughter would one day, be walking down the aisle


Alas one has been found, a brave man and archer too
With the strength of many men, and his will that knew what to do
For Now it seemed that all was going good
Everything was well about this life and the kingdom as it knew it could
All seemed so great and Now was quite satisfied
Royalty Now was all together and was also quite unified


Dom*Colucci 2012

Really, is it just this place I am in?*

Really, is it just this place I am in?*


What place is this in my eye I see?
It is fictitious, goes to the back of the brain in me 
Looking at this substance, this pictured outline
Detailed in minuscule, atomic structure so fine
But what is it really and what does it mean?
Natures way of not telling the Truth and quite obscene?


Well by looking at this and wondering is it real
It sure is a tempting objective, the Soul* it steals
The depths have shown me with this is all about
It is only of surface my eyes sees, without a doubt
So what essence where am I in the middle of all this
Did I come here to be the illusion as well or come here to exist?


Movement of all objects as two dimensions go
A walk on by a few of them, a breeze comes as it blows
But this still does not tell the Truth and from what I see where I am
I still look around me all this is, is a painted canvas land
I feel that I am really not the one that is lost here
But who is this person I became, so vivid and crystal clear


Then maybe that was me outside always in a dream
For it is a new reality that speaks in silence to me, so it seems
Interesting as I delve a little bit more within
Who created this cardboard two dimensions and where did it begin?
I guess this is what it means to wake up from a dream so deep
To Now be on the other side and never go back to sleep


Dom*Colucci 2012

Abundant rain, pretty flowers*

Abundant rain, pretty flowers*


My tears are falling out of my eyes
But they are of joy, so I cry
Deep with an emotion that I have within
It is the greatest of feelings, like it will never end
I can see the true beauty that I have for it is with me
No longer shall I cry of sorrow, this joy is eternally


Dom*Colucci 2012

Feeling blue today?*

Feeling blue today?*


The sky is opened, sun is so crisp
To one's eye it is beauty that is hard to resist
This morning that is painted with all these hues
But the one that stands out is the colour of blue
So who shows up for a cup of coffee today?
Well speaking of the colour, a bright blue jay


Dom*Colucci 2012

"Still" here*

"Still" here*


Somewhere this thing has happened to be
It came out of nowhere, such a mystery
All in all, it is of calm and patience too
But from its stillness of nothing, knows what to do
Its bottom is strong and is also well planted
Looks at things around it, takes nothing for granted


Yet it has no personality or even no charm
On the cold days it is cold, on the warm days it is warm
It seeks for nothing and already knows
It has no parents but it surely did grow
So solitude to its being is the name of the game
It never went nowhere and stayed the same


Each moment that passed, it had nowhere to go
But deep within itself it was always contented though
The void that surrounds it keeps it enveloped still
It comes with no intention and has no will
It could have came from a mountain cliff edge or even a big stone
But it does not see it this way, for it is a rock left all alone


Dom*Colucci 2012

Dream forever, Awaken once*

Dream forever, Awaken once*


Chosen from long ago, a being to be conceived
One that had the Truth within, this is what to believe
So it was settled and conception was also agreed
To make this being from substance, manifested energy was freed
A perfect sculptured masterpiece, a fine work of art
It knew how to make this a life, right from the start


It gave itself breath and the heart with its beats
Symmetry was like poetry, rhythm as it meets
So unison was in the making as this was in its form
Now it was on its journey for the day to be born
A whole new arrival was awaiting at the end
From that day of darkness, it seen light as it began


So out into the world finally, this being came to see
In its hopes and dreams of living, to become ever so happily
But on its way through life and its many miles
It got stuck in conformity and faced many trails
It was pushed around battered as a victim so true
Hitting every stone wall possible, with none to go through


But in this it learned something as it stopped one day
It seen something a little better, effortless effort was its way
It took stock in self realization and looked deep within
Origin it seemed to see life in reset, again and again
This hit something in what wisdom does make
This one is no longer sleeping, this one is definitely Awake


Dom*Colucci 2012

Gone is the wind*

Gone is the wind*


Shook up and moved in a rush
It chased itself around the bush
It went through all the crevices and cracks
Seemed like it knew what it was doing, right on track
More that it picked up speed as it whirlwind around
The little effort it gave itself, it had no sound


It buzzed some more without no end
Spun back into itself again and again
It was of chaos, but perfectly smooth
Because it knew of itself on track, it was the groove
Without any substance it was not seen
But one thing it did do, was go in between


It had to keep moving as it wished to be satisfied
Whatever it seemed it was progressing, it knew that it tried
It was not over yet as a few spots in its turn
The more in the spin, the less it learned
Finally it was giving up, it tried its speed again
For it vanished into nothing, Now gone is the wind


Dom*Colucci 2012

What is below the darkness?*

What is below the darkness?*


From a notion only a reality that seems
That came out of nowhere to become a dream
Inside this world as it is of make believe
Fabrications of illusions to be conceived
A run for it all, as this hits the mark
Now becomes of this, hidden in the dark


From many eons out beyond the light
Obscured from view, not seen in sight
But yet this came from somewhere to be
In hopes to make this illusion a reality
It's wishes were strong as the will seemed concrete
With hopes of unity of abstract to meet


But because its potential was always a try
With its fabrications, no Truth only lies
In bewilderment to see what was there
It looked for balance and for it to play fair
But it was because of its ignorance as well as ego
The only thing it ever showed itself to be, was a shadow


Dom*Colucci 2012

"Still" to be of light*

"Still" to be of light*


Total silence to be absorbed, that I become
All that is no longer around me, the memory is gone
The chain that attached all to the dream's mind
Have walked away and disappeared into space and time
It is like the last drop of rain that left to make blue skies
And wiped all of my sorrow and anguish, no longer to cry


Deep within this being, that Now to come out
The feeling of this Truth becomes without a doubt
An opening to the envelope it starts to take shape
Designed from the beginning as it knows of this fate
Here is a place that many still dream about to be
But here is no fool, it has always been with you to see


The more the present is to be, as it slowly digs in
The more your self Awareness will reset over and over again
Give yourself these affirmations of being here in the Now
An opening to the envelope will show this Truth to allow
For Now in the vision there can only be of one sight
That sight that you see is you, you Now become the light


Dom*Colucci 2012

No need for proof, you are alive beautifully*

No need for proof, you are alive beautifully*


Prove who you are that you are who you say
What does this make of you in your own display
What is that you accomplished in this reality you stand
When you have this misnomer of this, that you can
For what you say you can, did it resist?
Then if that is the case, why do you exist?


Seems there is something that is within your will
A being that knows better while it is still
You may not know of this being, as it is Universal whole
This being is you, for you are the Soul*
It has carried you through all thick to thin
Made you alive and to wake you back up again


So why do you wish to prove your existence, when there is none
The moment you are created, your blueprinted life is over and done
Yes keep your accolades and trophies in egoic pride
You will push yourself on this anchored journey, along the free ride
You strength will diminish you will get weak for sure
Ignoring a beautiful life with a Soul* that you ignored so pure


Dom*Colucci 2012

What makes that this?*

What makes that this?*

From a void that has just arrived

An existence that has been made to come alive

Out of this which is, only nothingness to be

From this nothingness, the outline of illusion one does see

But like said a darkened spot created from space

To put this all together in one solitary place

Forming from this, which is that made no sound

Unmanifested silence create images all around

Steady these manifestations will start to show

There is a thing from this movement called life, that does grow

Increase in its vibrancy and colour also in mind's eye

The continuance of this, when moments go by

But do the moments really go by which we can see that it is clear

Moments are apparitions that as soon as they come, they disappear

Foresight to insight as both Now have a match

Step into the Awareness, it attracted you in its catch

But one more thing that is in my bewildered minds eye

Could there be another reality here as well, seen behind the clouds or the blue skies

Dom*Colucci 2012

It does not help itself*

It does not help itself*


I called out for help, many days ago
Shipwrecked and upset, hopefully be rescued though
I await impatiently and believe someone will here my plea
Delirious out here in the middle of nowhere, please come save me
The shoreline I was at, a message sent with a mixed feelings of emotions
But that bottle maybe lost, still in the middle of the ocean


Dom*Colucci 2012

Not to drown or be caught*

Not to drown or be caught*


What seems to be the big idea here?
I plunged into a reality that seemed to be so clear
The surface that looked like solid ground
A reflection I could not see what was deeper down
There should have been a warning, something of a block
But one step in and I sank like a rock


Now that I am under with no place to go
No one to help me or an exit does show
So sort of stuck here with no way out
I guess I will be here for awhile without a doubt
Such peril I brought myself into, yes sinker more and more
Cannot figure why this happen to me or what it's meant for


So the next time I go into reflection, I will first see
Do I need to really look into myself or just let it be?
For it is stupid to see where I have been and came from
In self realization right where I am Now, for it is done
Modern man's ways of "thinking" should be done without "thoughts"
It is only in Awareness, that you will not drown or to be caught


Dom*Colucci 2012

Eyes without a face*

Eyes without a face*


The gap, in which I rise and stand
No place on the map is this land
It is somewhere that all seem to forget about
But lives very closely to them without a doubt
It is a world of wonder made all by itself you see
To the opened Awakened Consciousness, it will always be


In this reality, one may have a discerning eye
But there is no answers and even no questions why
For it just does things that it already knows
Without the "thoughts" of these things on where they are to go
Some sort of music, a rhythm of spontaneity
It moves all things in its proper spot, a place of harmony


But Now to get back what the meaning is of this
Into this world that is always skimmed by but has never to resist
It is a blend of you to nothingness, like said that is not on the map
You continuously will belong to this some call it the gap
For has forever that may surround you in this space
Losing resistance, you lose your body but have eyes without a face


Dom*Colucci 2012

No memory as it "past" by*

No memory as it "past" by*


Green pastures and rolling hills
Blue skies with clouds that are so still
A place that nowhere comes from, but one does see
In this reality colourful and made with harmony
But all that is happening for it is here
In this Awareness it comes crystal clear


But I come along and in this plight
My guide is within, with this insight
With nothing I walk into and also become of too
Forever is beyond me but the present I move through
Bits and pieces keep coming in my minds eye
These moments are gone before they even come by


So in essence, I have come from somewhere
This much I know from being well Aware
But what I have portrayed seems like a slide show
Without it all around me Now, I must have to let it go
Amazing to have this realized once was my destiny
I step into the present Now, it shows nothing of itself not even a memory


Dom*Colucci 2012

The void in no space but space*

The void in no space but space*


What is it that nothing belongs to, so it seems?
Coming from here to out there, as it is in between
There is a spot for it, that no one knows
Yet if you look real closely, it definitely shows
It has been here for many eons before
Never no loss and in gains never no more


No need for dissection or analyzing too
No keep looking straight ahead, it is in front of you
If you go beyond the limit of sight, you will be out of bounds
Take a look once again, see it as it is all around
Still not sure in what you are looking at so True
Hmmmm?...look again once more and try not to see through


Takes up a great deal from the place you have been set
Once again once more, not sure of it yet
OK, maybe something to make you see, here is the clue
It is a separation of the beyond, and object out there to you
It is a form of energy that Awareness takes its place
For it is a void that surrounds you, from space to no space


Dom*Colucci 2012

What side of the mirror did you wake up on?*

What side of the mirror did you wake up on?*


Blinded, with not a good sight to see
Polluted all around, tight in conformity
A push here in the crowd and to find no hole there
Feels like a round peg going into a hole that is square
Why oh why, this constant upsetting wonder happens here
Nothing seems to fit or even be crystal clear


So the more I struggle with this, to me having no end
One more time I do not like, here we go again
Am I on tread mill, seeking a carrot dangling in front of me
Yes indeed this is surely true, why can't I let it be
It seems this is the way as it is always in perpetual motion
I might as well be lost, say in the middle of the ocean


OK, a little more this feeling I have groggy eyes
What a case of turmoil, over something I despise
What made me ask for this, it seems here comes a little more 
But wait a few for more moments, there is an opening to the door
It cannot go on like this, as I know this does not stay
What side of the mirror did you wake up on, are you Awakened today?


Dom*Colucci 2012

Now even illuminates as well*

Now even illuminates as well*

The moon, how it captivates one's eye

Biggest illuminating dot in the evening sky

Romantic to many but of balance to few

One can see how it has all aspects in one's plain view

But when it sits in the waters of calm and pure

Duality shows even in stillness, that is for sure

Mysterious it stays and looks back at us to see

There is one place that it never leaves and that is here eternally

Dom*Colucci 2012

Awareness I see*

Awareness I see*


A place that just happened to be in my Awareness I see
The perfect solitude in quietness, in peace and harmony
In a space of where it seems all has come to rest
Rocks filled with energy, feel the vibes as they caress
Like a rain drop that falls in the middle of the pond
Knowing of the center of all things, made ripples from the calm


This shows me of how all things are in my eyes direction
To be aligned with this, definitely shows of being a connection
I see the deeper I go, the more surface is there to scratch
Tapping into this Awareness, this feeling has to match
A great amount of wisdom is stored in this treasure
It goes beyond all that I will need to know to give me such pleasure


No boundaries or limits that can hold one back
Just a smooth place in a middle way, that will always be on track
To many, perfection is an idea that might not be as it is shown
But perfection is always here, from Awareness in the unknowing to be known
From Awareness, that one will always have a place in and also will be
All one has to do is go within, be calm and they will see


Dom*Colucci 2012

For this is ZEN*

For this is ZEN*


The present that is here, becomes of calm and tranquil
My Soul* I enter into, remains very poised and perfectly still
This reality of peace, has no obstacles or blocks
Solid is this feeling, grounded securely like a rock
Everything that is outside, stays where it is in place
No movement all around, no sound in this space


A scenic view that I am here with, it is dotted with trees
Stone and tile platform, koi fish pond with these
An environment worth every bit in one's eyes
Such a flowing feeling, the energy moves in stride
You can definitely get that settling, more peace as it enters so
This open area is the Universe, it allows my Soul* to grow


I become deep within my meditation Now, more I tap is deep
Gone is such anchor, thought which was heavy knew I could not keep
Time might have passed by, but it really did not matter for sure
As I just said, I relieve myself from thought and make my Awareness pure
The next few moments that will come, will be from here out a reset again
There will be no more of going beyond in a future or past, for this is ZEN*


Dom*Colucci 2012

Love does not hide*

Love does not hide*


Cold and wicked, this world's reality
Come join us on the wheel of great conformity
Rotten, as the dog eats the dog and the tail spins
No one in this objective seems to ever win
Who will be the king of the mountain this time
As the ignorant one leaves purity for a life of crime


Yes, this is a big play for musical chairs
The wheel of great suffering, moves on without care
Blinded by egos, wanting and wishing to have it all
It says "think" big, for it is the weak that is small
There is no Love from this in its own house of hate
Treachery and debauchery, as lust does celebrate




Passion to see who hurts one's heart
No stability ever from Love, pain to pull apart
A dream for some but reality with no will
War and greed, Lovers with chatter not to be still
Indeed these are the future's nightmare, the one's that never end
But if you have Love in your heart, the dream is over and the Awakened to begin


So there is a thing that we all have, we just do not see
There is a treasure of Love inside, for it is the Soul* to make us free
Yes, if you continue to see with your own suffering with blinded eyes
You will always be of the world to continue, to make you cry
Come along and see where you are as you never left this space
Within is this Love and it is aligned all over in every place


It flows in nature and makes it continue to grow
Do not believe this? Open your eyes and it will show
No one can ever stop this, it is of its own power to be
This thing is so strong forever in continuity
If you do not know this by Now, it is open like the sky above
We are born into this world even with all its circumstances, for it is Love


Dom*Colucci 2012
