The primordial flash of the absolute
illumines the essence of diverse life forms,
the primal energy of the god particles
drives the destiny of the existent.
The universal elements embedded in each soul
interconnect the nodes of survival,
yet each is a tree in the forest of variety,
each is a flower in the garden of plurality.
The rhythm of continuum manifest in life
intones the cosmic music of love,
binding all by one harmonic string
of singularity harp resonating the prime melody.
Glowing in the glimmer of creator’s candle,
sublime soul recognizes the tenet of unity,
formulates the amalgamating equation of being
in the fold of divine network of integral oneness.

NEATH OLDE SOUTHERN CROSS
‘Neath olde Southern Cross
sparkling stars
show a radiant view,
for we will stand
in this brand-new land,
so far, far away
from toil, trouble and strife
of a darkness past,
where oppressions reigned
amidst religious persecutions
of our faith,
so, in order to escape
to a brand-new life,
our motherland we’ve left behind,
for across the seas we came,
where our journey took many
in under sail
and by fickle winds,
and in doing so
new trepidations and fears appeared
and without much thought we overcome,
now just feeling of an unknown
for as we stepped ashore,
and on strange tree near,
a jackass laughed
its peculiar sound indeed to us,
and for all who came ashore that day
in watching the tide come in,
this foreign land we now call it home,
to be a land of opportunity
and of hope and dreams
and from uncertain pasts left behind.

Don't wait for darkest storm,let it spread the light now,
Don't let it boil in the steam of hatred,let it be cool and spread its fragrance now.
Oh you people,when you will face him on resurrection,what will you answer?
Yeah you want to go heaven,but turning it into hell which is just a bit lesser.
I really pity your thought,that chaos will sort the matter
Forget it!No more,no more,no more its here.
The suffering of innocents,the body shattered with pellets and the growing fear,
Silence in the worldly heaven,cheeks wet with tears,has made them now HIS dear.
Now the matter has reached the court,where creator is the judge,
Fear you spineless and coward,if you still don't grudge.
HE will soon take the decision, what to do with these termite and worm.
Dear just firm your feet of patience a little more,as light always comes after darkest storm.
Oh I can't listen,please repeat-"You called it integral"?
Stop for HIS sake! Let its beauty grow, don't make it dull.

You suppress sexual feelings
you've hidden deep within your heart.
And yet, you dream of fantasies,
where Lust plays an integral part.
Lust and Love tend to commingle,
often blending in silhouette.
And though they're opposing shadows;
neither is immune to regret.
Both can fill your heart with desire,
but Love isn't Lust; it has no twin.
Yet despite their differences,
you can't always tell which will win.
When erotic passions ignite,
you indulge in sexual thoughts.
And if it's sex you're looking for,
Lust is likely calling the shots.
Love provides legitimacy
to emotions aroused by Lust.
Though Lust may seem compatible,
Love's tethered to the heart through trust.

Sometimes all it takes is a song
To transform me to that place
Where laughter was my name
And your smile my surname
Time has played her part
Sometimes I wish it was just a dream
Then I look around and somehow
You still there
Encouraging me
Sometimes it’s in the lyrics of a song
In the words spoken while no one was listening
Like it was meant just for me
I embrace all the reminders
Even the ones you don't see
I know you feel them
You just have a tough time
Making them your own
Even though they are a part of you
A part;
That makes you an integral part of me

Man must come to grief, fortnightly intervals of
Ache shall never cease. This world a bulky box which
Parcels items of tears and fears in multitude thereof
And a few parcels of love and joy we all wish.
Old tenant Moses lost his wife and his landlady's daughter
Was raped, whilst each man mourned his plight,
Mr President closed his fragile eyes and Jos’s manslaughter
NTA did broadcast, last week's Sunday night.
But in all man must be happy or gay
(Or join absent ones far from this plane of existence
As old Moses did when he dropped his pressure in May)
And pledge to God, and then enjoy his assistance
We treasure our lives for those lovely days
We see problems as part of life's ways

I have always been scared of you
With your smile battering my alarm clock
All daisy chains and good day sunshines
You suffocate me, let the midnights prevail
I dislike your force
Your goodness appears false
Injected with such sickness
Anxiety, shivers beneath my quilt
You turn out your colour
Inviting me into your orange sunsets
Promising flickers of contentment
It exhausts me to watch you
I am a night sky
Lying in its bed of quiet repose
Alone and forgiving of ferocious mornings
Tolerate of your broken gravities
