The grieving tear on the wincing cheek
Says much more than she can speak
Of grieving thoughts she tries to hide
That squeezes out of red stained eyes.
Craving her father's affirmation
That never came brings much frustration
She yearns to be her Daddy's girl
But it feels like pigs who watch thrown pearls.
Though time has bought her twilight years
To this place of heightened fears
That she will never hear the sound
At affirmations holy ground.
She watches his coffin go into the dirt
Those tears now flow down to her shirt
Some things are not won by having a lover...
A daughter's affirmation given by her father.
Luke 3:22 "and the Holy Spirit in a form like that of a dove descended
upon Him, and a voice came out of heaven, 'As for you, you are my Son,
the beloved one, in whom I take pleasure'."
Our current situation,
in the evolution of our species,
is one in which the ego has forgotten its true role in the psyche
and has usurped the role of central regulator. Carl Jung
Sometimes the best gift you can give yourself
is to forgive yourself
for not thinking and feeling and acting
like your healthiest self
on your best day.
Set yourself down in an empty therapy chair,
but keep your interdependent biosystem dancing,
choose your words to yourself kindly
with active curiosity
as your body reminds
rewinds
revisits
remembers
your listening empty-chaired mind
I'm exhausted by your confusion
about what you would actually need
to be healthy
and what you think you should want
to feel better about your lack of integrity
lack of compassion
lack of self-and-other-respect
lack of curiosity
and maybe something like
lack of reverence for life,
too much severance
from considering the probabilities
of a feeling-wealthy death.
I want to be free of your insatiable craving
to be appreciated
even by those you don't appreciate,
to be recognized
even by those you don't know,
and adored
despite your incapacity to feel adoration.
Why do you wander off
and leave me neglected
malnourished
dehydrated
bereft
uncared for
unappreciated
uncelebrated
unadored
neglected,
verbally abused?
So, please share with me,
what do you feel you personally need
as informed by your own past experience
on your best trauma-free day
doing your physical
and mental
and political
and economic
and social
and environmental
healthy
loving kindness best?
And be that as it may
If I come in contact with a ruler
One that I may sup with
Craving for something to say
Eat just most anything to survive
Riches make themselves wings then fly
fly away as an eagle toward heaven
And if I be hungry with an appetite
Craving for something to say
Eat just most anything to survive
Riches make themselves wings then fly away as an eagle toward heaven
I better not eat if this deceitful meats still hungry now
And if I be hungry with an appetite
Craving for something to say
Eat just most anything to survive
Riches make themselves wings then fly away as an eagle toward heaven
For eating not the bread of
Him that has an evil eye watches for the man with the evil eye
Craving for something to say
Eat just most anything to survive, still hungry now, hungry now
For what thinketh he in his heart behind his heart are evil thoughts
Still hungry now, so is he says to thee his words are be not desirous
Still hungry now cause the rich means to sets his eyes
Upon that which is not high
Craving for something to say eat just most anything to survive
riches make themselves wings then fly sway as an eagle toward heaven
And if I be hungry with an appetite
Craving for something to say
Eat just most anything to survive
Riches make themselves wings then fly away as an eagle toward heaven

Have you seen changing of colours?
World shifting thoughts without insight
Mellifluous tones making way for cacophony
Drums buried beneath shambles,
And people returning to the jungle,
Craving roots and leaves
As life becomes spooky affair
The world changing patterns,
As beauty becomes an obstacle
Have you witnessed the unforeseeable?
Mountains becoming smaller
Flower refusing to bloom
Nature giving up its mandate,
Moving away from positivity
Negativity embracing every creature
Inducing evil forces to celebrate with pride,
As the world falls apart
Hope assuming new meaning,
As happiness sink underground
That's how the world has changed
Love making way for hostility
Ignorance taking center stage
People searching through garbage
To find reasons for immorality
Taking journeys to the wilderness
Coming back with more grounds for deviation
Goodness plummeting deeper
As the world changes faces
Rest in peace. People gather around to pay homage. Every one gets busy! I feel the soul’s craving for solace. Probably the last few minutes, the most precious moments, when the soul can say “Good Bye!”.
I curiously asked mom, “what would you do, after you die?"
To this she replied:
Don’t mourn, when I die,
If you feel that we had a strong tie.
I promise you,
I’ll be with you, throughout your life.
My love! My daughter! you are my part,
How will I depart?
And yes! My parents will miss me the most.
So, I would rather prefer to be a ghost.
I’ll be with my parents too.
I’ll look after them well,
that's my vow!
I will wake you up every morning.
Together we all will go for jogging.
When dad, would be in some urgent meeting,
I will sit in his lap and still won’t be seen!
I know, I am his life.
I’ll also prove that, I am a perfect wife!
I would fly up in the sky,
I would dive down into the sea,
Without any hue and cry!
On the snow and in the rain.
May be! It might be another gain.
There is lots more to say.
But, let’s wait for the day!
When I die,
There should be no sigh.
Else, I will also cry!

We breathe in the shadows, perfecting the lie,
While the truth of us screams in a hushed lullaby.
I am stained by that kiss—by the heat, by the sin,
By the way that you let me and the cold universe in.
You were the brave one, the first to break through,
But now I am haunted by the ghost of you.
I am tearing apart in the way i wait for your touch,
Loathing the fact that I want you this much.
Was it a whim? Just a flicker of grey?
Or does the same fever consume you today?
The unknown is a killer, deep in the vein,
A craving for pleasure that’s indistinguishable from pain.
The guilt is a shadow I can't seem to shed,
A heavy, dark cover I wear in bed.
When the world demands we play out our part,
In the wreckage of us, hold me in your heart.
I am drowning in "maybe”, in secrets and salt,
Loving you feels like a beautiful fault.
If this is a ruin, let the heavy stone fall,
But if you are with me—if you feel it all—
Then let the shame burn until we are apart,
And forever, please, hold me in your heart.
Your ebony hair curled and cascaded uncontained,
some swirled in the stream of craving squall,
some laced the lilting lattice of lust
on your forehead of ivory canvas,
engraving the contours of the evanescent charisma.
I wondered if this was your last image,
I’d glimpse flicker in the wind to fade in oblivion hollow,
if there was no tomorrow.
Your almond eyes of the azure sea waltzed
to the melodic waves of the mesmeric music,
the eyelids danced with the flutter of butterfly,
floating in the air of yearning on charming wings,
weaving the wondrous tapestry of trance.
I wondered if this was your last dream,
I’d deem drift away in the wind to wilderness fallow,
if there was no tomorrow.
Your cherubic cheeks soaked to shine
the patina of the blooming rose I revered,
spreading seductive scent in the beguiled breeze,
with the touch of my desire caressing your face,
rippling with rapturous hues of glowing glamour.
I wondered if this was your last portrait,
I’d see in the twilight hour glow,
if there was no tomorrow.
The buds of rose bloomed on your luscious lips,
swathed in the lilac luster of the sunburst dawn,
the attractive allure glinted with gorgeous glow
like the pearls of dew on pristine petals of pink rose,
shining like a star in the sequined sky.
I wondered if this was your last smile,
I’d sense in my memory the stardust stow,
if there was no tomorrow.
I had heard about the legend of her lips,
so, at the sight of vermillion moonlight,
shimmering on turquoise ripples at twilight,
my soul ventured, craving the sighs of her sips.
Fate led towards a path of wooden shutters,
amidst the silence, silken whispers enticed,
upon her vision, all speech was sacrificed.
My heart danced like velvet butterfly flutters.
Her lips resembled two petals yearning for rain,
with an innocent blush resting on their tips,
curved liked sacred, unwritten poetic scripts,
I surrendered my muse for her kiss to drain.
They seemed to tremble, waiting to be explored.
An unspoken allurement composed through her eyes,
where she veiled a threshold of nectarous cries,
like dawn, we merged as the moon and sun adored.
In neroli mist we melted like molten gold,
lost volcanic spirits spilling in lava lust.
Her wildfire swept my senses like a spiced gust,
as hummingbirds, hummed about secrets untold.
There was a sinful sweetness in her caress.
In her sanctum, I forgot the essence of 'me,'
as her taste turned a blank page into poetry.
A rendezvous, which ylang ink cannot confess.
Animating attention in thought rested stillness
Beauteous bliss beats ushers elixir of wellness
Cajoling head and heart to entwine as lovers
Decoyed not by deluded desire that hovers
Emerging from darkness emitting soul’s light
Forging a pact with heaven heightening delight
Garnering hitherto hidden wisdom by God’s grace
Hosting life flow with nonchalance, empty like space
Illuminating our core, holding truth in close embrace
Judiciously and mindfully treading softly on earth
Kiss of bliss renewing rapture in bubbling mirth
Luminescence of presence our quintessence
Magically manifesting love’s effervescence
Nameless, blameless soul, here for a sojourn
Osmotically draws magnetism, a benign bliss burn
Presence witnessing how our false self falls away
Quelling cravings of ego that causes us to sway
Recognising the truth of our Self in singularity
Sconce of love held firm in head-heart parity
Taming duality to get to crystal clear clarity
Understands that life is but a lucid dream
Venting emotes that our heart does stream
Waxing and waning as does the beauteous moon
Xenial vibrations assimilated that we joyously swoon
Yearning without desiring and seeking without craving
Zestful at all times, vibrance of bliss on heart engraving
