Premium Member Tibetan Tears
My heart aches for
Your hearts that break. 
I shed tears mingling with 
Yours for the forgotten years;
The tortured monks and nuns…
For your people who suffer still

Your hopeless, hungry, young.
Only your elder's tears
Know of the deep sorrow
Of your lost lives, lost culture,
Your...

“Patients, carefully wash your hands and mouth
As the spirits are offended by our smells
And get yourself clean of the defilements”
Thus Matho announced the arrival of the **Dakini
To the séance of the Stok Monastery.
Then Dakini donned her ritual costume
Preparing the alter of seven offerings of
Water, flowers,...

Tibetan Mastif
I see through your naked soul,
 
like laser beam across spring waters.
 
thunder-strike my liverless matter,
 
with sight of thor-like spirit.
 
I grace the grassy Himalayas,
 
like emperor in a royal dynasty
 
And master of my canines,
 
for I am  the Tibetan Mastif....

Tibetan Buddhist Tonglen
Tibetan Buddhist Tonglen

Tonglen, when you take on another’s pain,
As smoke, on the in breath ,
Outbreath normal as the rain,
You are sending health, no less.  (sending white light)

You see the pain and suffering ,
You intensely feel his pain,
Brighter than the shining stars,
 Pain, Light does...

The Tibetan Yak came to town to set us all straight.
We are hard-working fellows, our work ethic great.
We do not stand around using idle chit-chetter.

Tibetan Prodigy
Make it a habit to ignore his redundant rhetoric with scoffs as he speaks, call it lunacy and say 
he's over stepped the boundaries of obsession with talks of destiny mixed with aggression the 
stupidity of the world will end in remorse but yet bestow...

Premium Member Tibetan Spring Sunrise
cold harsh desolate terrain
where life to us seems hostile and cruel
gardens painstakingly nurtured
with minimal returns

so much effort so little gain
yet a most appreciative and spiritual people
atop their mountains so close to God

Ideas
or wordcraft
There’s times
you must choose

The style
or substance
Which one
left askew

One choice
or the other
Becomes 
zero-sum

Delivering 
prescience
If words
—on the run

(The New Room: March, 2023)...

Tibetan Queen Beauty
The Tibetan Queen Beauty
in her red and velvet dress
and her dark silky hair
for the waist it does caress.

She dances and she sways
to the flutes and the drums
she entrances all onlookers
with red lips and her hums. 

Her creamy white skin glows
through the veil on her face
her...
