Sails an evening when breaths lay quietly
         On obscure places fluid as winds,
Where afterglow  of joy becomes a

Kama Sutra Typos
We got tangled up in bed
Our legs, hands, fingers, bodies
Unnaturally twisted, intertwined
All crazy angles…
Why? Because of Kama Sutra typos!...

Rondelet: Don't blame India, the land of the 64 artful Kama-Sutra positions

    for the Punjabi Lady in an all-night jogging bus

Don't blame India
For a thousand three hundred years
Don't blame India
Bored by repetitive Kama
And pedologic incest - tears
In iron-hosing buses - cheers!

The Calming of Sutra
"The Calming of Sutra"



Morning always comes
after night
Moses like a wolf
parts her red sea
there Night rises
she’s as warm 
as the sun

He’s a strict machine

Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra- New Liturgical and Poetic Translation
The following is my poetic/liturgical translation of the Heart Sutra:

The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara,
Whilst in profound Prajna Paramita 
Saw illume the void of the five skandhas 
And prevailed over all pain and peril.

Sariputta, image and void differ not, 
Image is void and void is image,
So too sense...

Mango Sutra
Desire burns in the heart
A little spark to fire turns
The want becomes a need
As the mango starts to ripen
From bright green to dull
Temptation calls
Sweet nectar churns inside
Sun shines on the ruddy skin
Tongue aches in pain
Sleepless nights and misty mornings
As maturity is near
Shaking hands hold the...

Political Kama Sutra
Lady, you were so far ahead in the last opinion poll
but now all your rivals paint you like a bumbling fool.
Well, you got it coming for the answer you had given

Poem Inspired By Infinite Life Sutra
Yearn for Bodhi for life’s a dream,
A dark fleeting phantom, and a
Shadowy hollow illusion,
Filled with nightmares of greed and fear,
Of Love and loss and scorching
Fires of burning ire and desire, 
Of hard times that haunt and linger.
All dharmas are but dew and mist,
Ready to fade...

Feeling to do 

Hands cry to handle the pain 
Hands touch the stone hard 
Hands slap the river of tears 
Hands hold the image of your 
Beauty 
Hands search the best time to think about you 
Hands doesn't give the real sense of kaam 
Feeling...

Kama sutra

The Sanskrit ancient text on making love,
the seductive motions to reach bliss from all above.
Rhymes and verses revealing hundredfold suggestions,
the divinity of making love and no more questions.
This poetical sentiment of romance is the immortal ‘halo’, shinning bright,
natures law versus societies moral dilemma, how...

Premium Member America's Open Heart Sutra
Do not let another hour pass,
open your heart to another.
How quickly little lives can change.
Fissures could cause sudden shifts in
tectonic plates of world order.
Foolish hearts can close to the new.
From the din rises a young woman
who sirens a song, a new view
where she herself is...
