He was a charming chameleon, saying all the right things
in that beguiling masculine timbre of his sultry voice.
Allure in his hazel eyes promised things my heart hadn't felt,
but it ignored my head's warning until I had no choice.
A niggling of worry continued to swirl through my mind
that something was wrong. Something I couldn't quite define.
He had shortcomings but to all of them my heart was blind.
I desperately tried but reasoning couldn't keep my heart in line.
Much is written about the rebellion of a treacherous heart,
and how it rhythmically pulses with the need for passion's fire.
It's been the cause of many sleepless nights when I'm fraught
knowing I cannot extinguish my heart of its burning desire.
It has always wanted what it wanted and wouldn't be denied.
It's always managed to overrule what my mind was thinking...
until it'd been crushed and broken, and only then did it confide
that it should've paid more heed to my head and heart linking.
Hearts can be guilty of transgressions. Mine was by betraying me.
Then it had to pay the steepest price that infatuation could ask.
From the grasp of lustfulness, my heart was able to break free.
Balancing the volition between mind and heart is not an easy task.

Oh, those times when it was just you and I.
Forever in your arms I’d want to stay.
I gazed into your eyes – in blue of sky
I felt immersed as all cares slipped away.
There was no past or future; we were one,
and one together, we were breathing bliss
as warm and comforting as springtime’s sun,
which on each rose’s petals leaves a kiss.
There was no time, and only peace we knew.
It stretched before us. Utterly aware
were we , that love - unspoken - is love true.
Accepting one another, souls laid bare,
I lost myself in you and you in me.
Unblinking bliss– we were so wholly free.

Between the pulse of our heartbeat simply present
head- heart linking
dwelling in time with stretched blissful peace
awareness became unblinking.
Between heaven and earth the ethereal pulse of God's creation
sifting through the soul like a fluttering kite in motion
Here we are in a dwelling place of quarrel and demolition
only peace can assuage the heart and give it, its contrition
In the middle of war stretched across landscape of your heart
"The Lord's prayer," in a lilting whisper, you got this to an art
Give us today our daily bread and help us to do our part,
it is only love agape that gives our soul a fresh new start
Connecting spaces of our head-heart connection a mantelpiece
decorated with meditative awareness and unblinking utter peace
"Lead Us Not Into Temptation" let me decrease as you increase
seed and bloom inside my heart and help me fold this crease
Side by side two strong bookends holding together what rends
with a soulful melodic vibration I arrive at every bend
"May Thy Kingdom Come" and live within me til the very end
side by side, ... like two old reliable and sturdy bookends.

Animating Innate Vibrance
Open and shut, constant change
He’s on His throne, He’s off
My heartbeat says otherwise
My mortifying act of anamorphic shame
He says, “Sit still.”
He says, “Know that I Am…”
When I clear my head
not of everything
but when I sit in place
with only the inside and outside
universe; not without sound
I would be dead, without the sense
I’ve been given. I’m holding hands
with my own heart, quietly kissing
the peace, which I, all too often,
want to run from and to what…
How much time can I take
five or ten
minutes that I want to spend
elsewhere
but this is what I need. He
knows; the exploration time
spent in meditative prayer
pays higher dividends
Oh what I see
when I truly open my eyes
high beams highlighting,
sculpting, silhouette-sitting,
the unknown takes shape
The aha transforms. One
never forgets
when floored
with answers that transform

There is a hum to it
The core of the tuning fork
An innate tenacity of energy
Responding to the slightest touch
A vibrant desire waiting to be released
Shared, injected into, a waiting need
Seeking a partner of like frequency
Fulfilling the passion of energy’s lust
Freeing the un-imprisoned
From a self-imposed irony

Didn't Albert Einstein
say that space is also time?
that matter is also energy,
just another synergy,
and the universe is ours
in the space between two stars?
Does everything repeat
in the space between two beats?
and do my heartbeats frame
all spacetime by any name?
Can open minds and open eyes,
and open hearts see peace arise?
If I miss you 'tween two beats,
will I see you when it repeats?

_________________________________
In the hush where heartbeats softly blend,
A vibrant hum, where time and space suspend.
Each breath a bubble rose to the skies,
Awareness is sharp as if we’re born to rise.
The world emerges as petals in the light,
Where hermits dwell and drink from nectar’s bite.
On window sills of dreams that dare to soar,
We stand, mere men, yet feel the ancient lore.
With paths that twist as rivers through the earth,
Voices echo wonders whispering our worth.
The pulse between us thrums a sacred tune,
As daylight dances with the waning moon.
Her life is woven with threads of glowing grace,
A tapestry of moments we embrace.
We stretch in blissful peace beneath the shroud—
Of light and shadow mingling in a crowd.
In every flicker lies a call profound;
Our spirits fuse where silence knows no bound.
Yet still we feel—the tender ache of dreams—
That shimmer bright within reality seams.
So let us drink from this eternal stream,
Where head meets heart and minds ignite the beam.
In nature’s arms let every moment swell—
For here resides our truth—a living spell.

Betwixt the pulse of our heartbeat
Simply present, head-heart linking
Dwelling in time stretched blissful peace
Awareness becomes unblinking
Till your fatal entry
My heart leaps with indignation
You ask through penchant, profound plea
Of my being; you’re quite brazen
Rewrite the irate of my aggravated heart
For to love you is to part with my conceit
And as for my esteem, I’m going to depart
My sense of self depletes
Terminating sentiment from my trembling frame
The connection amidst us, so revolting
But I can’t stop, the tale is the same
Therefore I bid farewell to my sanity, a new relation is molding
So I accept, our hearts coalescing
Mine beats like drums, so invigorating
It’s held to be self evident that words won’t suffice
The thrill exhilarating as our hands intertwine
You’re beginning to damage me
Remaining nonchalant, I turn a blind eye
I ignore the pain accelerating through my body
Though it’s starting to shriek and cry
I now comprehend the circumstances I’ve been thrown in
The urgency to abscond, it’s right
Attempting and attempting to break of this connection
Though I’m trapped in this, the solution will forever remain unidentified
My gaze shifts towards your face, despair coursing through me
You’re aware of your actions, your ego you know of
But in the blink of an eye, fate hits; you drop me into the sea
My blood spills everywhere, as I remember; I forgot how to love.

Elegiac Lyric
Within me is a deep innate ingrained and instinctive vibrance and passion.
Betwixt and amidst the throbbing of my heartbeat is a ticking pulsation,
that is life, that is vitality and sparkle. I hold the enduring perception of
awareness and appreciation. Yet, I have moments of doubt but with inborn
faith I can conquer any battle, forge any mountain, swim any ocean.
I float in a dream
of heavenly bliss and joy . . .
with unblinking faith
Animating and invigorating is life and instinstive is the force I need to define
my inflexible drive and defined path. I may be detoured at times but I am
able to find the spirit residing within that leads me on this euphoric journey,
called life and through time.
each day a journey
among my heartbeats pulsing . . .

Weary from everyday stress and strife,
I pleaded for deliverance and guidance.
When cares surrounded me and as I thought
I was plunging into an abysmal pit,
I tried to claw my way up the walls
That hemmed me in, struggling to reach the light.
Between gleams of joy and bursts of doubt,
My thoughts oscillated like the swings of a pendulum.
No feelings staying permanent nor any mood constant,
They kept coming in ceaseless ebb and flow.
When I stayed thus in confusion,
Someone whispered to me and I heard it distinct;
“You must travel inward into the boundless terrain
Of consciousness, into the seclusion of your heart”
I spent some time directing my mind,
Away from the din of the world
And the cravings of the body,
Away from the dictates of my brain
In complete silence, flogging my ego,
And trying to cleanse the stains of guilt
To be in love with love,
To find some peace and to the possibility,
Of bringing a head- heart linkage.
Underneath my vexing thoughts,
I suddenly found answers which lay in ambush;
Which my brain could never find.
When probed deep into the depths of my heart,
I got answers that took my breath away.
I saw truths so profound offering me instant relief,
And my soul lifted upwards without any push.
As heated water evanesces in to vapor to billow upward
I then let my past woes evaporize and disappear.
I knew I was with peace blest and to pure heaven,
My soul ascended and bright sunshine filled my soul.
Now this prayer always rises from my heart;
'Teach me to remain patient and forever strong
To stay calm under all trials and every provocation
And fill my heart with love and kindness,
Animating my soul with innate vibrance!'

What lies between the ticks of time?
The pause between heart beats pulse?
The eye sight missed when you blink?
The still moments when you are breathing neither in nor out?
Our body's attempt to keep pace is flawed
by the mechanics we deploy to defeat entropy's cost
to defray the inevitable decay
of the material universe
to maximum disorder, randomness and uncertainty.
To keep up, to stay alive,
to build and maintain
structure and order is costly,
as it defeats for a faction of time,
the universe's purpose
which is inevitable continuous decay to disorder
without pause,
without hesitation
without disruption or interruption.
It is within the momentary pauses
that we, the incessant, get our way,
animating an innate vibrancy
to resist the decay all living things face,
and struggle against,
to a totally disordered state,
lifeless and decayed, on doomsday.

In the dune-field of the deserted scorched life,
clutching my desiccated desires I chase mundane mirage,
walk listless on the tormenting trail of strife.
Suffering to the core, I’m submerged in sordid mire.
Under the multi-layered receptive mind,
the soul resides at the inner meditative depth,
where awareness is the light of the eternal truth,
enduringly reflecting the sensitivity of the divine glow.
Trying to be released from the clasp of karmic destiny,
I transcend the expanding limits of heart-head linkage.
From the closet of mortal being I strive to set my soul free,
the patina of perpetual peace I yearn to flourish.
In the devout sanctum of heavenly freedom
my soul aims to attain the timeless euphoria of nirvana.
The beauty of the ultimate oneness it beholds,
vibrating with the rhythm of supreme elegance.
The darkness of the pasture of suffering gets illumined
with aura of the absolute, having thousand sun’s shine.
I find the lotus bloom beguilingly bright in the soul,
discover the enlivened constellation of innate bliss,

When we find our morale at rock bottom,
It appears the earth has come to a standstill!
Finding ourselves amidst darkness all around,
We are in a dungeon with no escape, we feel!
Unmindful of our innate abilities, at times we forget
To bounce back, like a ball hit against a wall!
Seeds sprout piercing the upper layers of the earth,
Sensing the touch of raindrops from clouds so dark!
A word of consolation is enough for a soul
That has fallen down, to rise up like a spring!
Things that appear dormant in nature for the time being,
Can erupt like volcanoes unwarranted any time,
Animating their innate vibrance to everyone's surprise!

Faith in God’s words and proverbial grace
I’m surrounded by love since birth, I’m blest
Midst life’s struggle, ups and downs and stress
Hopes in my heart, a daily glow on my face.
Since God’s gift of life has ephemeral length
I’ve to spend it with joy as I share my best
His dwelling spirit in me rejoices more, I care
To spread my innate vibrancy in wisdom’s strength.

The “Bench” sits proudly among the trees,
perched high and overlooking the beauty of the water down below.
Exquisitely black, it seems to hypnotize,
beckoning you to stop for a spell.
Once captured, an involuntary trance arises;
you’re transposed to another dimension,
where your awareness becomes unblinking,
eyes fixated on the ripples in the water.
Heightened senses come alive
as a shiver runs up and down the curve of your back.
Your mouth gapes open as pieces of precious memories escape,
softly murmuring in soothing tones to the shadow
sitting beside you,
praying feverishly for signs of life from another dimension.
The “Bench”—
strong like a father,
its soft curves of the arms envelope you like a mother’s embrace—
a priceless reminder of a life so loved.
The strength and sturdiness of the bench evoke emotions,
a feeling of utmost comfort,
the head-heart linking,
dwelling in time-stretched blissful peace.
It envelopes you, safe within a cocoon,
untouchable.
The energy rises within, and a soft moan escapes.
The yearning is so real as you reach out your hand,
lean over for a warm embrace.
There is no mystery—
the space beside you is held for an Angel.
The leaves are gently falling and rustling,
blowing in the wind like unspoken words of love
carried into the waves,
like a message in a bottle.
Always in my heart, a shining light,
an innate vibrance, an everlasting energy.
