Poems to God that is 'You'
Poems to God that is You
You used to scare me…
with your torrid schemes.
My mind—
a parcel for your unravelling.
There was a time you played in its shadows…
and then you said,
"I never take sides.
Not in War.
Not in Love."
I believed you then.
Now—
I know I was wrong.
You are not to be believed—
but sung!
When my eyes drown in this turgid heart,
when my soul swells with you—
that day,
I know.
A mass is a Higgs/Boson equation…
Deifying your principle of attraction!
You keep the stars steady in their course,
while my mind is smoothed with your Peace,
while my heart swells with your Love—
and in this swelling,
I am created.
This day mattered!
To one swayed by your hammer of fate!
I have hung from remorse too often—
but you beckoned me,
with tears,
with laughter,
with those twinkling eyes—
at the very moment of death.
No human innuendo survives you.
No thought is free from the particles you’ve shattered.
And no tear—
not one—
is without your infinite,
recycled,
Love affair.
My heart is an elixir of prayers.
OM…
OM I…
Oh my soul, humming you.
Waiting…
is a lover’s kiss—
just before the eyes close,
just before two hearts merge in crescendo.
In your presence, no differences.
No stubbornness.
No me, no you, no we—
only particles whispering…
You.
Like an empty boat,
carried by your sea without end…
this heart forever voyages,
its compass always trembling,
always going home.
And You—
You are Home to me.
Love is the mirror!
Where two flames
see their source as One!
To kiss the Beloved—
with the same kiss the Beloved kisses me…
that kiss—
is eternity.
Love is the mirror!
Where two flames
see their source as One!
Oh… the heart knows this.
Love attracts Love.
This is the secret of the kiss.
In the Garden of Hearts,
where Love grows—
you,
and I,
and we…
become unnecessary distinctions.
Let us be
this empty yearning together.
This ancient ache of longing.
This heart… a compass,
pointing to where.
Love is the goal.
I’ll meet you there.
