Manifesto, New Millennium Poetry of

Manifesto: Liam

As a creative writer, a poet and author, I feel my readers require a clear understanding and insight into my intentions, motives.

New Millennium Poetry, volumes 1-3 is a Magnus Opus of writing which springs from the idea that with this new millennium, across a broad spectrum of the worlds population, an awakening of consciousness is occurring.

A paradigm change from egocentric materialism to a new paradigm of soul awareness.

Expressing itself in social awareness, responsibility and an awakening to the spiritual , invisible reality of all aspects, of all life on earth.

This invisible world has been for thousands of years the genré of religion. Different religions, different cultures, different representations of one common invisible spiritual reality.

“New Millennium Poetry “, is a collection of poems covering aspects of our human condition. Written irrespective of color, race or creed.

The common ground being that most poems explore in simple expressive ways, questions which are common to us all, seeking answers, common to us all.

Poetry is an interesting way to respond to soliloquies concerning one’s personal quest to understand life.

The truth is, a poem will only awake within the thinking of its reader if the content, how ever unconscious, is already present. When a poem resonates with its reader, the readers intuitive response, expresses what is ready to become conscious. To greater and lesser degrees an audience of readers will intuitively respond to the content of these poems in their search and need to resolving meaning.

Poetry: Fountainhead

Poetry: Fountainhead

by Liam

Deep in the depth of darkness

My spring will surging rise

Bringing with it tinkling

To the verge of latent cries

It’s reviving strength I’ll hear with

This voice, rejoice in me

A source from which alone I drink

The fountainhead of thoughts I think

Keep me fresh, Keep me high,

Keeping hope in me to fly

Glad of all unseen

The struggles, tears through which there’s been

A stream forever flowing

Formed in peace above

In lofty high found spaces

It’s here that I found love

It’s here I’m me forever

It’s here I’m truly free.

Poetry: Play

Poetry: Play

by Liam

I become intoxicated by love

True,

I drink deep and more

This ruby wine flowing from the goblet of my life

Inebriated, I dance, spin circles

Each day a kaleidoscope of joy

To rise again with the sun

To sink again with the stars

Life life life

You wondrous-thing

You joyous friend, let’s play.

Poetry: Travelers

Poetry: Travelers

Yes, we are all travelers as

Life’s sun is setting faster than a bird on the wing

Be on your way with the wind at your feet

The light in yours eyes and a heart throwing flowers to the fields

For your wedding with eternity waits just beyond the horizon

On the other side of the sky

Rejoicing , dance and sing

On the way to your other tomorrow

Don’t stop for anything.

Poetry: Requirements

Poetry: Requirements

by Liam

I am where I am

You there where you are too

Still, no need to fret or stare

Because I do what I can do

Here now alone with what I’ve become

With you too it’s a complicated whole

No longer alone

Which leaves us asking why?

Which weaves us closer to the whole

Which temporarily fulfills the requirements of now.

Meaning you are who I’ve tried to become

But why?

Poetry:Contemplation

Poetry: Contemplation

by Liam

As the heart becomes your place of contemplation

It’s because of the rubbing, polishing and care taken

That mirror beautiful begins to shine

Reflecting not alone it’s maker

Fresh healed and vibrant

Also the very substance of invisibility

An integral feeling of immersion

It’s the lovers lamp

It’s the light of the lost

It’s the reflection of God’s magnificence

In you

With you

Through you

By you

Poetry: The Astrolabe

Poetry: The Astrolabe

by Liam

This pen, this ink, this page

Tools with which my thoughts anticipate

Words, words of mine

When graced by God

Becomes a feather,

Life on a wing, flying

Air flow thrusting meaning up towards heaven

Loves lightness, brightness flying out,

A dance where infinity becomes a drying line

Captured in the sands of time

This parchment held in the hand of mine

Words

An astrolabe of loves celestial quest

Eternally visible

Physically measurable

Magically understandable

Love

Poetry: The Mirror

Poetry: The Mirror

by Liam

Love it’s branches spread

Wide since pre-eternity, laughed

As the intellect searching to understand, got stuck in a muck of words

It’s the lovers themselves who

Spin wordless amongst these leaves

Who shall share,

Know more, feel more of love

This is who they’ve become.

When love calls silently

it’s not words we hear

It’s the very universe which trembles

Heaven recognizing itself in the mirror of your own face

Smiles

Poetry: Resplendent

Poetry: Resplendent

by Liam

Prepare now for the feast

To shine where before the rags

The waste and tatters of yesterday clung

To your life

Throw them off

Dress for delight

In robes of joy

In garments of love

This fine apparel to meet a King a Queen

Indeed no other, Royalty than yourself

Resplendent in the shine of becoming true.
