recognition of our true constitution reveals
we are not merely limited mind-body combine
our soul being encased in five sheaths or coverings
of which the first and grossest is the material organism
the second our pranic energy field, which...

It’s getting late and I can’t wait to sleep. 
Insomnia always has hold of me at bedtime.
Tonight I feel hopeful of a visit from the sandman!
My adult son and his buddies are drinking and playing...

conditioned since birth, to pursue interests self-serving 
consciousness soon hypnotised amidst myriad desires
head and heart misaligned, fierce rivals for attention
delusion that we are only mind body doomed to die
causing fearful anxiety, objects of desire vanishing

Thoughts

Colors, mists, lights, shadows, but there is no real existence
of life, merely a rainbow, illusionary, but comes sense from there

Thoughts came from nothing, and creating fates, lives, and words
from the non-existent world, it’s empty, filled...

(A Piece in Triplet Addressed to Dr Monir Táhá)*

Yes, we’re mountains, all together yet alone,
From foot to crown of rock and with hearts of stone.
Unmoved by all, moving none, we’re on our own.

To this song...

~
Flour on her hands, and centuries on her elbow
Fingers balance a 'hand-me-down' dish, 
Roosting deftly on finger-tips, high in mid-air
Lovingly she spins it, magician's hands twirling
Trimming the edges with flourish and flair

A bit like Da...

what is born must die … 
this we know but do not accept
in as embrace with vibrant nonchalance ~
no, let us admit it fellow souls
we are in truth truly afraid

we have seen birds in mourning...

I know I should sleep
Bits of me fall as I blink slower and
slower 
A yawn reclines my head, so it may stay resting
Hands drop away mid word

And I did - that was the left unfinished...

I want a reason to live
My heart wrenches in pain all too often
Tears stream down my cheeks 
Trembling lips
An urge to scream loudly

I hold it all in. 

There are way too many thoughts swirling in...

It’s all right if I fall apart
Vases are meant to be broken
My glue fails in togetherness
See ancient plain of jars stalwart
Old, weathered, and unwoken

It’s all right if I break into pieces
The day comes with its...

I’d be your friend if that’s allowed
or if it’s not. I won’t get cowed
by friendship as defined by you
(restrictions placed more point of view.)
Let God address my reasons why,
but trust, I pray, I court no...

Formless soul, in body takes birth
Shaped from the elements of earth
Bestowed by grace, God’s life essence
To nurture love, in bubbling mirth

Pure heart and joyous innocence 
Agendaless exuberance 
We’re thus born complete, bliss replete
To enhance our...

Here we are, in the womb of existence,
deluded that we’re separate from source,
knowing not love’s our only true resource,
we nurture fears, on ego’s insistence.

We’re granted free will, that soul grow faster
but poor choices we make,...

Solid as a Rock full of butterflys.

Mye tummy cries and turns away from me.

Worry comes to call and rears its ugly fangs.

When a person loves someone and it seems they go away.

All thoughts of working...

I just found out how skin of day 
breathes in the grayness  of  Fall sky,
as moist  eyes fold to drop away
on moonlit puffs  that slowly die
like mirrors crashed into the air,

H azily, as nightfall glides ,I unlock the front-gate
O verwrought from drills of a riddled job, 
M y toes stumble on scented violet buds 
E nhancing  gripped thoughts to drip-drop away.

S omehow, Mom’s roast...

From my seat on the airplane
I watch the years drop away below
The man with whom i shared a bed.  towels, salads, a seat on the sofa.
He says i was too hasty
but I felt strangled there.

Point of No Return


YELLOW BEAR PAW!
circular arm saw.
In my head,
I'll be famous when I'm dead.
There is something wrong with the people here for sure,
it simply is something that we cannot ignore.
Rampant addictions, 
corporate suspicions and...

the well intended but deluded soul 
took on itself to spread God’s word
the fixation soon became its mission
to rescue those deemed wayward

the vulnerable who suffer on earth
tottering on the very edge of despair 
clutch at...

looking back at our life led so far
engaged in needless strife and spar
we regret now the blood we spilt
wish to atone, heart laden with guilt

churches, temples, mosques hollow
for awakened not was soul’s glow
we thus discarded...

Earth life but a beauteous dance 
Wherein we opt to enter trance
To feel pangs of separation 
Until head and heart reach balance

Love God’s force, binding creation
Offers us gentle suggestion
That do not size, just vaporise
Union then...

We bow to The divine Mother
For She brings to life, nodes dormant
Blissful touch, light as a feather
Our heart acquires glow radiant

No longer are we, by fears bound
We bow to The divine Mother
Blissful pastures, within heart...

How do u bask in the sunshine when all you see is rain.
Feeling every drop as it falls on your skin and when It touches... it's pain!!!
Leaving a constant ache and permanent stain. 
While the...

Abandon the pastor and the preacher
Allow instead silence to be our teacher
Layer by layer, let identity drop away
Granting soul’s light within, right of way
Seeking nothing, if we be quiet and still
By God’s grace, voids in...
