Emotional Buffet 4
The duties are paid, yet restless remain these eyes,
Without my beloved’s sight, in vain remain these eyes.
His radiance softened my roughness away,
Helpless in their watchful pain remain these eyes.
Truth is no healer holds a cure to impart,
Afflicted with the illness of heart remain these eyes.
I cannot accept that another may see,
Slayers of grief and

Madmen leaked a rash of sky-blue puddle;
fatally cloistered the hat-flu's hubble -

The half-time half-life smile of she and the other half-wonder of me:
far, far, ready to say maybe to love -
moved in half-dream to plumb half-baked memories.

The 4 Seasons - TFS
Sweetly
comes spring
with rain
and sun;
nature
is so
alive
Hotter
days make
me laze.
I thrill
to feel
summer
arrive.
Autumn
brightly
adorns
trees and
cool nights
lengthen
out then.
Snow drifts
aglow;
winter
brings cold
till spring
returns
again.

Ashtavakra Gita verses 14:3 -14:4 revisited
14.3
“I have realized the Supreme Self,
the Witness, the One
I am indifferent
to bondage and freedom.
I have no need for liberation”
14.4
“The inner condition
of one who is devoid of doubt
yet moves among creatures of illusion
can only be known by those like him”
beyond thought forms in us weaving
direct seeing is believing
yet assimilation awaits

Sutra 4 from The Holy Science
“The cause of creation is Anu or the Atoms. Enmasse they are called Maya or the Lord's illusory power; each individual Anu is called Avidya, Ignorance.”
~ extract from ‘The Holy Science’
We know not who we are and yet we strive,
pursuing agendas of body-mind
and with ego cravings on overdrive,
no wonder then we wander like the

Thoughts Running Free 4
Thoughts unraveling like loose strings on a ball,
then rewound to make useable opinion.
Past and future lose all their intrigue,
in the clearness and fulfillment of a present moment.
The intensity and immediacy of a brilliant thought,
becomes calm in the presence of an epiphany.
One’s time is truly blessed,
when passion and purpose are in each moment.
Ask me a question

6 Dead, 4 Wounded, And One On The Way
Leukemia boys and
Leukemia girls wave
in hospital volunteers,
as the angels wave
them away.
What is
love?
Beyond
an overpriced
ambulance ride,
and an unnecessary
hospital stay?
The most beautiful things:
summer sweat,
and Rome after
rain.
Inside,
a child draws
a yellow sun
with trembling fingers.
The IV, taped
down like it’s trying
to hold him
there.
Forced positivity.
A heart full of
apathy.
I see that
same world you try
to see with substance sober,
and I’ll be the first to

New Sonnet 4 'Unlike a Spurgeon, I by dull words unfold'
Unlike a Spurgeon, I by dull words unfold
The limits of my Sarah's love for me,
But I realize that the rot and stink and mold
Are all within my mind, beneath my See.
There is no other person who can love
For me. It is my duty and my joy.
It is the Truth that True Love is made

The Masnavi of Giti and Saeed - Part 3, 4 and 5
Part Three — Zuhrah's Song (1)
O knower of love and mystic's wine,
Sweet mistress of the dance divine!
With harp and lute she weaves her tune,
Her music soars beyond the moon.
A queen whose steed none can outrace,
While kings of every land give chase.
From dawn until the setting sun,
She sang of her beloved one.
"Sweet Giti," thus she named
