Mani Poems

O Mani, be merciful to me

You are much like the cosmic light
Who set into the flesh of plight 
Shining in the world that all see
O Light, be merciful to me

You are much like the blue sky’s heart
Your elect, even when apart 
Are the light beams and veins of thee
O Light, be merciful to me

You are much like morning’s birthplace
When you

Mani, the Hoopoe That Flew

Beneath the shapeless sky of blue
In the valley lacking a hue

Was an isolated thin pond 
Where birds sang their short song to bond

Singing a song hoarse with throats sore
In the midst of their pond’s vapour 

And dunking their bodies with threads
Into the pond, scratching their heads

In the midst of this quacking though
A foreign and sweet

Mani of Sunlight Honey

Robes of flowing milk
Mixed with light flowing honey
Nimbus of sunlight
Lotus of red, pink and gold
With buddhas in the petals
And black hair flowing downwards

Prophet Mani and the Nazorean

“Oh you, so-called Prophet Mani, preacher of division, answer this simple question without strife?"

“What is your question which your soul wants to hear to see the unity of all life.”

“Your God, is he good or evil? Let me hear your confession.”

Bahram 1st To Mani 4th

What worth are you? 
You deny all knightly sports.
You do not defend our walls.

I heal with no gold.
I free doves from steel cages.
I wait for heaven’s kingdom.

The Journeys of the Prophet Mani

Greatly he played the flute of God in India fully
Beautifully he played the lyre of light in Persia
Gracefully he played the drum of power in Babylon
Skilfully he played the harp of wisdom in Parthia

No land welcomed or even tolerated his music
Though his beautiful song reached the sunrise of the vast Earth
Shadow was vanquished by his

Quattro Mani

If ever
You walk Cable beach
Say hello
To a girl I know
She’ll be sitting there
Come sunset
Under a wondrous sky
That will make you believe
In Gods and magic
And love too
If you gaze to long
Into her hazel eyes
You’ll know her
By how her auburn hair
Shines golden
In the evening air
It will flow across her body
Hiding her curves and graces
As ocean currents do

Mani {pt.2}

I know I didn’t give birth to her
But I love her because my better half is a part of her
When you’re not around I’ll be there for her
Because I want to give love & show her that I’m here for her
I’ll make her bottle; I’ll make sure her stomach ain’t tight
I got a natural mother’s
