Mind of the heart
When heart be quiescent, free from desire,
mind too rests, since there’s nothing to be done,
ego consigned to the funeral pyre,
breath by breath as we slowly come undone,
the heartbeat of God and ours become one.
Ceasing thinking, our head with heart linking,
we attain pure awareness unblinking.
Heart offers instantaneous knowing,
wherein we do not attain but become
the totality within

centred in the heart of God

Tears of the Dragon
I believed that darkness was all consuming
wouldn't dare look up and dream
Entranced by depths of a sea beckoning
bewitched ~ transfixed
I didn't believe the sun would rise
and shine for me ~ rather ...
I believed in the tears of the dragon
a monster hovering over me
I believed in the tears of a captive heart
beached wounded and lame
with flightless

Ghazal No 4
If in your love I meet my end, how sweet to die,
Or if your breath restores my soul, what joy is nigh.
You are an ocean, vast with grace, I but a shell,
If one pure drop I drink of you, all will be well.
The morning breaks—if with true wine my cup you fill,
This aged heart shall

Love's Beating
Soul of one's life, does it live to exist
Perhaps emotional wreck of many desires breath
Love, hate, judgement to feel as if thought
Undying voice controlling journey of life
You can not kill for its idealistic
Realities truth to honesty in a race
Can not hide, darkness depths can't contain
Even the unkind feel

Embrace the future
day by day and brick by brick
we're building the foundation
of the person we want to be
who knows what lies around the corner
or who we'll meet upon our path
we hope to be ready in our hearts
and be the person we're proud to be
to make the most of each new opportunity

HOPE OF A DIAMOND
Eyes like a Colored Diamond
Became like a Stone
She wanted to Run away
Not from Life
But from Present.
Her thoughts Becoming deeper than Galaxy
Hiding a Ocean behind her eyes.
She Prayed everyday
Not for a Miracle
But for a Change
She wants to Shine
Not for herself
But for the Lost ones like her.
She realized she was the Change
And started her Journey again
This time

Fool's Errand
I wonder after his black spectacles,
if I could recognize his phantom's scare
by his bandy left foot, something he'd wear:
constrictor turtlenecks, cowboy buckles
his trials decided by flayed knuckles
his tombstone eyes, the depth of night they bear.
I wonder at the factors of his fear
as I adorn him with cherry jewels.
Your bass breathes, haply, the contents of love;

LOVING YOU IS AN ART
Loving You Is an Art ????
Loving you is an art,
Not just words, not just emotions,
Not just romance.
It is like carving a linocut,
Each stroke, each cut—
Careful, gentle,
So I do not wound the sketch,
The same way I hold your heart,
Responsible not to hurt you.
Loving you is an art,
Like stringing beads with patience.
And when the thread breaks,
And the

GOTCHA!
Tingly skies full of surprise, oh how I love when with surmise,
the little rascal aims his dart as if it were poetic art!
He will deliberately ambush you and your entire tush
with a gush loaded arrow he does romantically push
into hearts genuine states of goofy, gooeyed, loving mush.
No one on this earth can evade him, only

Blinding Love
I wanna feel that blinding love, The one you'd live for
The one which feels like sunshine and rain on your face.
The one that feels like the first leaves of the fall.
I wanna witness the summer of love with, sweet voice notes, long hugs and late night shenanigans.
Ballroom dancing in the middle of a

Still better than lust
in consumed passion
my heart longs for your true love
that flies wingless flight
yet your smiles cut through my dreams
sprouting love in fertile loam
as I so desired
so your love appears to me—
I, who begs for love
while it flows as in a stream
that has a source but no end
you want to deceive
with the love you only feign
appearing so

What we had
“WHAT WE HAD”
Our path was foggy,
But somehow , we made it clear.
We built something new,
Something that filled our hearts.
It touched every edge of us,
Left no part untouched.
We were in love,
Deeply.
But as we
