Rumours of Home... Poems : Hiro Boga

Poems are living beings.

They enter through your skin and eyes and ears; they swim in through your dreams. They burn through the fog of everydayness to reveal life’s brilliance hiding in plain sight. They transform your biology, your history, the rhythms of your breath. They unfurl clenched fists, open compressed throats, soften and smooth corrugated hearts.

Poems open windows in your spine, in your bones, in your brain and belly, in the soles of your feet.

And in through those windows fly the songs of the earth, the keening of stars and galaxies, the sturdy, honest presence of the Real. The entire cosmos lives in each poem. And if you invite them in — the poem, and the cosmos — they flower in you; they re-enchant the garden of your life.

Each poem I write is an invitation into realms of becoming that I have not yet entered, or that have not yet entered me.

Each poem I write emerges from the Womb of Being, from the fluid shore where formlessness meets form. This creative matrix, which loves and cherishes all unfolding life, waits patiently for me to turn toward it, to stay in its presence long enough for its particular alchemical nectar to work its way into my bloodstream.

I enter its service willingly, glad and grateful for its invitation.

Once it’s written and shared — and poems are made to be shared — a poem’s magic burrows deep in the soil of your heart. There, it takes root and flowers in a rainbow of colours, scents, textures, as you, who read or hear it, water it with your tenderness, your joy, pain, sorrow, love, your own unfolding story.

Poems are powerful medicine. They lead us home: to ourselves, our souls, to our own particular place in the ecology of being, our place of belonging.

Poems heal, palpably, the fractures and wounds of separation. When I stumble on an inner pattern that causes me pain, I stop and feel its pathways in my body. Often, one of my own poems, or that of a poet I love, will echo in my ear and I’ll read it aloud, taking in its resonance and power. The pattern dissolves, its pathways and well-worn grooves smoothed to silk by the grace of the poem.

Poems restore us and our world to wholeness.

My clients will tell you this — I read them poems, when just the right poem speaks, directly and eloquently, to the truth of their experience, the truth of something profound beyond words that we’ve been exploring together.

O, the earthy and ineffable treasures of poetry!

SOUL COMFORT

How do we live in love, stay on path in times like these? How do we comfort our souls, how do we comfort our beloveds, our neighbors, our unmet selves? How do we nurture and soothe our love-magma cores so that we are free to shine bright once more... fueled by this unlimited source power that we truly are? I don't know, but I'm working on it.

As usual, I turn to poetry-medicine to take me Home, to re-align myself body + soul. Hope it helps guide you there too. I love all you sweeties so much. xoxo

 This exquisite fullness,

This piercing heartbreak of beauty

Leaves dancing

Mouths lying

Humanity trying, trying, trying

Blossoming rocks

Silent singing

Echoless bewilderment

How can it be all at once?

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite". -Nelson Mandela (Long Walk to Freedom). #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #poetryisnotdead #souletry #poetrygram #yangku #poets #dailyhealing #writersofig #follow #quotes #sayings #soul #poetrymedicine #therapy #followme #instagramthatshit #igdaily #quote #wordporn #dontriscorps #doninterrupted #doncorpus #writersofinstagram #poem #poemporn #soulpoetry #dailyhealing #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/ByOhVPRFUpq/?igshid=y2wbvfw1nzww

All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #poetryisnotdead #souletry #poetrygram #yangku #poets #dailyhealing #writersofig #follow #quotes #sayings #soul #poetrymedicine #therapy #followme #instagramthatshit #igdaily #quote #wordporn #dontriscorps #doninterrupted #doncorpus #writersofinstagram #poem #poemporn #soulpoetry #dailyhealing #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/ByL7tCTFhBs/?igshid=8d145eubf703

“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.” -Dead Poets Society Photo by @-Maryal_Gray- #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #poetryisnotdead #souletry #poetrygram #yangku #poets #dailyhealing #writersofig #follow #quotes #sayings #soul #poetrymedicine #therapy #followme #instagramthatshit #igdaily #quote #wordporn #dontriscorps #doninterrupted #doncorpus #writersofinstagram #poem #poemporn #soulpoetry #dailyhealing #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/ByJe6NnlyPE/?igshid=1bb781yiw2qh

Some say this mind of mine is beautiful.... Would they still say that If they knew how cruel it could be too ? If they seen just how crucial and critical I am, of me ; Would they still think me to be the beauty an not the beast ? I once read somewhere that the mind can be defined as Heaven or Hell it all depends on Where we choose to dwell... maybe that was my line Anyway, all the same ; at that time, I had no idea that I would come to know Both so well, It's a daily effort not to be affected by all the shit life keeps hitting me with trying to make me lose my grip on my quick wits... I'm not with that shit either, As you may see it is even harder not to become hardened by all the fists life blindsides me with When I am already fighting with my entirety not to lose me.. but instead To rise higher than the weights of anger & pain Vying to tie me down... down to a place where my immortal faith gets obliterated ... That's something I just simply cannot take anymore of upon my plate, So I refuse to let a lack of Conscious personal action to cause me to go back down that path, The path of self destruction is not what I want That's why there's times I cannot write despite How hard I might try ... Then there's night's like tonight When my mind & I are aligned When every line seems to flow from the tips of my fingers just right... Each one blessing me with a peaceful release & something uniquely poetically beautiful too, So I ask you... Would you still think my mind beautiful If you seen my darkness shinning brighter than the light? — J.TheUnapologeticPoeticSoul Photo by © Antonio Gutiérrez Pereira #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #poetryisnotdead #souletry #poetrygram #yangku #poets #dailyhealing #writersofig #follow #quotes #sayings #soul #poetrymedicine #therapy #followme #instagramthatshit #igdaily #quote #wordporn #dontriscorps #doninterrupted #doncorpus #writersofinstagram #poem #poemporn #soulpoetry #dailyhealing #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/ByExoN-lcmk/?igshid=2tdyk4x92iwh

Ode to My Mother's Hands "Someday, when these hands are withered, I hope that mine are half as tender, so that yours may be the ones held for a change." -Maria Conte Photography by Nicole Hill #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #poetryisnotdead #souletry #poetrygram #yangku #poets #dailyhealing #writersofig #follow #quotes #sayings #soul #poetrymedicine #therapy #followme #instagramthatshit #igdaily #quote #wordporn #dontriscorps #doninterrupted #doncorpus #writersofinstagram #poem #poemporn #soulpoetry #dailyhealing #writerscommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx_haq5FF2u/?igshid=ks7xj3pl3bse
