I Am My Father's Son
They were gambling in front of the house.

"Clean down the tables with wet sponges! Rouse
Yourselves! And when...

Green-The Color of Life
Though I'm ashamed to say it now, I never took conservation seriously,
Just living life as if nothing else mattered, full of wonted complacency.
I would hear intense talk of the climate, recycling and global warming,
But I...

that seems to haunt all pre-race activities,

New shoes, shorts and shirts being shown emulously.

Where is distraction and stillness?
I abide in the glory of Self”

The Indian Snake Charmer
I have seen them stand outside my door,
pleading mother to help stage their show,
on our verandah with stony floor,
tattered clothes, hungry child, wife on tow!
dusty robes speak of miles he walked,
two woven baskets on...

Kundalini Part 1 of 5
The third eye of Shiva!
Demons reduced to ash!
Ego seeking this power-enigma
That ascension it may encash
Beginning thus with a nebulous concept
Identity craving for Godlike enablement
Adopts yogic techniques suspect
To awaken kundalini from containment
Lucky then...

With grace and beauty each regal stride

Bliss Bubbles Burst
To feel contrast in space and time
We ride life’s Ferris wheel
Feelings gross, mundane and sublime
With each in turn, we deal
Early years, driven by instinct
Mission’s to seize and size
Selfish heart, not yet by love inked
Self-blocks offered...

The Host of Heaven
The wind whipped through the vale that winter night;
he hunkered down, his watch to keep.
A solitary star gave off its light;
oblivious, the sheep
lulled by their shepherd's song, lay slumbering in sleep.
They suddenly were no longer...

The wise man hearing Truth
retreats within and appears dull-witted”

Let us assume we are wise!

Awake, Oh Hermit
Soul’s desire has birthed this form,
to feel a benign bliss storm.
Breaking free from body shell,
we wake up knowing all’s well.
This game is not so easy,
unless nonchalance breezy
marks our each thought, word and deed,
throb of love,...

Fig Leaf
Flimsy fig leaf camouflage,
subterfuge reveals montage,
mind games at play everyday,
as conscience to rest we lay.
Enacting oneupmanship,
demons of mind we worship,
anchored in hypnotic trance,
enticed by dark desire’s dance.
Engaging in acts feral,
we find our soul’s in peril,
yet...

An Abecedarian
Audience is abuzz.
Boldly,
Conductor emerges – black tux.
Draw
Ethereal patterns with baton– marv.
Flutes, trumpets, cellos, drums dance for me, for you.
Gentle, light…
Heavy and dark…the music evolves
Into something more meaningful, deeper.
Joyous – a tranq
Killing, temporarily, stresses – they...

What Fascinates Me
What fascinates me
is we fail to see
truth before our eyes
and bliss beats that rise.
Objects we behold,
around our mind rolled,
are present in space,
manifest by grace.
Before we exhale,
to again inhale,
there’s a pregnant pause,
of this dream world’s cause.
What...

Our Entreaty
Earnest is our deposition,
without any imposition.
Liken it to a shout in the vast void,
by vaporised self, who's ego's destroyed,
urging souls to shed their fear of freedom,
affirming within us, is God's kingdom.
Love never employs use of...

Queen of the Turf
There it was gazing up – radiant –
radiating kaleidoscope silver green;
sharp with life, ready and expectant.
Spreading its claim, pressing out the grass,
was a thistle born from last year's seed unseen.
From where had it blown...
