Notes About The Poem

Say It Like Rumi


"From deep within my heart,
I always catch the scent of my Beloved. 
How can I help but follow that fragrance?"  ~ Rumi
________________________________

Bliss pheromones radiate from our glowing heart
Fragrance divine penetrates each cell of our form 
As ignition renewal moment to moment does start
We’re enveloped in bliss mists, soothing and warm

Divine feminine’s abode is at the root of our spine
She’s Shakti, the kinetic aspect of our energy body
Her dance bewitching causes love for love to pine 
Soul imbibes Her blissful elixir when heart’s ready

The potential aspect of Holy Spirit is at our crown
He’s Shiva or we may say, womb of universal mind
Shakti and Shiva entwining at heart, in bliss drown 
Thus releasing our soul from egoic fetters that bind

Inner polarities of mind and senses slowly awaken
In delight, we choose to be consumed by the flame 
We’re transfixed in rapture, transmuted and shaken
Call this by any name but we’re no longer the same 

Oh hermit, to be graced by this ethereal magnetism 
Gently glide in tranquil silence into the heart centre
Teasing caress of love divine illuminates body prism
This ineffable joy beyond measure is ours if we enter

Ahhh, Seeker, see, this is my Vision as well. Not only do you have the Sight (isn't it wonderful, hey?), but also gifted with the recognition of the Vastness, and the talent to weave its beauty in rhyme! ?? I love it! Thank you for allowing us to see you!

"We’re transfixed in rapture, transmuted and shaken Call this by any name but we’re no longer the same ".....! I am sure this is the experience Shri Buddha had under the 'Bhodi'tree .... a heightened moment of spiritual exaltation! A divine transformation ! You are another Rumi, Seeker friend !

Wish it was so but it isn’t, dear Valsa! The void yet remains to be pierced although no doubt intermediate grace has been bestowed. All’s enabled in timeless time
