Kama Sutra TyposWe got tangled up in bed

Bored by repetitive Kama

In iron-hosing buses - cheers!

Moses like a wolf

she’s as warm
as the sun
He’s a strict machine

A little spark to fire turns
The want becomes a need
As the mango starts to ripen
From bright green to dull
Temptation calls

Sun shines on the ruddy skin
Tongue aches in pain
Sleepless nights and misty mornings
As maturity is near
Shaking hands hold the...

Poem Inspired By Infinite Life SutraYearn 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...

America's Open Heart SutraDo not let another hour pass,
open your heart to another.
How quickly little lives can change.
Fissures could cause sudden shifts in

who sirens a song, a new view
where she herself is...
