Emerging from a fulcrum deep within,
arises a humming, magnetic pull,
which in each moment does afresh begin,
drenching us with bliss, making heart feel full.
Rapture ignition, thus in renewal,
becomes the new norm, just like our heartbeat,
love’s elixir...

“I have five friends; a Christian, a Buddhist, a Sikh, a Hindu and a Muslim. Each speaks of a different God or truth. Who should I believe?”

“Beloved Femme Fatale”


Musk and Neroli satin skin spoons
Naked feet ‘neath The Pillars of Petra
She towers majestic above you, colours your grey skies
You are worshipping her on your knees
What does it matter, anymore? Before your eyes,...

"The Forgotten Legion of Rose Thorns"



Reversing roll calls
the Anti-Hero 
jumps through 
burning hoops
instinctively

bathed in the magnum glow
designed to fire cartridges
with a kick like a field gun
a bloody victory 
is eventually won

lacking conventionality
novel and picaresque
placing bad...

When one makes viable peace 
Between erstwhile colonial whites 
And erstwhile colonized blacks 
To the advantage of the whites
We urge for a Nobel Peace Prize
Such was the case in South Africa.

The fractured imprint of Cassandra remains; 
burns bright; pounds at the gates, silenced. She says,
	"Keep Quiet, your words have power. 
Say only, "Let me be an instrument of your will, Lord." 
Tongues and ties will...

When I was called little brother, 
I smiled.
It meant I have an elder sibling.
One from whom I could learn,
To discern,
Between Light and Dark.

What about the Grey?

Only a few would about the grey; 
Enquire.
Even fewer, 
Perhaps...

“As long as there is desire--
which is the absence of discrimination-- 
there will be attachment and non-attachment
This is the cause of the world”

16.8
“Indulgence creates attachment
Aversion creates abstinence
Like a child, the sage is free of both...

Much has changed since time almost ended
We the people find the Internet blended
Melted hearts, reshaped and mended,
As triumph falls where we heard the calls of dead ends expended.
The very same streets, once emptied,
Now filled with...

In the secluded seashore of an isolated island, 
I build the castle of desire with sands of dream,
protect the fragile precincts with fervent care
from the beleaguering waves breaking on them.  
The surge of strife...

A sunbaked pile of dead sticks in the ground
I’m a divine oversight, it would seem
Hundreds of long spines poke out all around
Yet inside resides a colorful dream

I’m a divine oversight, it would seem
Look past my...

In human form I was born. In human frame I will stay,
but for some other species, life doesn't transpire that way.
A wiggly caterpillar transmutes into a wondrous creature
when it emerges with beautiful wings as its...

I determine to do my best
With God doing the rest
In every quest, every test 

Despite my evident weakness
Hitherto escorting the sleazy sickness
I display in the recklessness

I believe unsetlles naysayers
Who belittle soothsayers
Alleging they’re wolves and players

Determined...

Tell it to the fire 
(Keeper of the Night)

Tell it to the fire 
It will burn away all your secrets
Feel the roaring flames
It will burn away all your fear

It consumes all the...

You are not solely the substance within,
You are simply a soul once part of the Holy Spirit.
You are aware, not of reality as you see it,
But of the Truth which eternally dwells 
Outside of the...

Bursts forth blissfulness, in tranquil stillness
Magnetic heat fills us from head to feet
Ineffable is our heart’s happiness
In resonance with the divine love beat

Our head melds with heart, conceding defeat
Silence continuum, ushers wellness 
As Ohm vibration...

Earthquakes of bedlam quell
As tectonic plates of emotional instability cease shifting.  
The tears of a discarded clown, suspended in animation—  
Numbness overtakes.  

Masks slip, shattering.  
Shards scrape, lacerating apathetic flesh, ...

Omnipresent space, alive and aglow
This feeble form we encase is but dust
Invert polarity in stillness slow
In parity with void, feel form combust

Ego thought spirals, cover soul with rust

Narcissus And Echo

Thou scheme a tale, rightly told through Ovid,
Entreat thee twain hearts thus thee speak thereof,
Grant thee their role, dark, yea set thee forward,
Born per a nymph, reverse, a nymph in love.

Within this sanctum
of breath and bone—
ten trillion anchorites
mimic their devotions.

Bacteria threading
blood’s vermilion rivers
braiding holy water
into the cathedral
of now.

Their alchemy transmutes
starlight
into the wine of existence—
decanted
from Orion’s mythical vine.

Viruses—
those threshold wraiths
between being
and unbeing—
inscribe new verses
in the living...

Kundalini - Divine Mother

Forged from earth’s crust, we are but dust
Deluded heart, enslaved by lust
We flounder about, incomplete
Till spurred by kundalini’s thrust

Ego’s ways lead but to defeat
Best we surrender at God’s feet
Emptiness within magnetised
Dancing to...

Inertia makes a monster of my
Self
I'm insatiable for making a 
Progress.
Move, don't just tell yourself
You will.
Set the rules, then transgress.
The rebel inside of you deserves
Respect.

You're what you eat, don't
Lick
Your wounds, turn up the heat
By a...
