Poem

The wheel of time churns the disarray dust,
settling on the unstable shelf of the disordered life.
In the maiming moments of painful perturbation,
truth crumbles in the cauldron of disorientation chaos. 

Under the scorching blaze of the sun of craving,
the desiccated life suffering parched and forsaken,
searches for a wayside thicket of sanguinity
to provide the satisfying shade of hope.

The sapling of deep desire of irresistible longing,
I nurture in the receptive core of my heart,
blossoms the flower of passionate hedonism,
luring me with the illusion of impulsive urge.

Chasing the mirage on dwindling dunes of despair
with hope lost deluded of taking life to the oasis,
as the hurting storm of disenchantment blows, 
I enter the realm of awareness to undo craving.

In the disorderly squall of divesting dismay,
my mind is disheveled to a dishabille state,
strips off the flimsy attachment of desire,
psychic cascade of indifference carries it away. 

My detached mind develops the skill to disconnect,
cultivates the aspirant ability to evade attachment.
Repulsion frees me from the bond of attraction,
and I feel aversion instill in me a state of apathy.
