Unseeking Seeker Poet Rubaiyat

Notes About The Poem

When the Flame Flickers

Heart contractions, a wake up call
Moments when we fail to stand tall
It almost seems we’re in a dream
Blockaded by a mere thought wall

Fears and desires, that inwards stream
Hollow, shallow, ego spawned scheme
Void-centric joyous soul’s immune
To imagined fears, that so beam

When with pulse of love we’re in tune
To throbs of bliss our heart does swoon
Outcomes any, we are tranquil 
Radiant thus like yonder moon

Healed by God’s light, voids within fill
Feel soma nectar overspill
Mind-body’s but an instrument
In surrender to divine will

Whenever we be discontent 
Insentient to bliss current
Know that ego’s up to it’s tricks
Blocking soul’s light effervescent
