As God’s light containerised in this form,
cravings of dark desires having been tamed,
from deep in our core rises a bliss storm,
for which Holy Spirit is to be blamed.
Tree of ego felled, delusion’s dispelled
and we behold in clear sight, light of Self,
in the heart of God, by agape love held,
there remains no agenda on our shelf.
Duality is but light polarised,
which rediscovers itself in the heart
and when love’s ingrained, God is realised,
breath by breath feeling bliss ignition start.
Descent and ascent is the game divine,
which but requires that with love we align.

Once dreamy, butter-filled suncups,
Shining ‘neath the moonlight.
Past shadows shimmer on pond of
Evening Primrose midnight.
Spineless spirits, angel’s trumpets,
Kept as outliers, aloft.
Once shady blow - paired sleeping rocks
Covered with lamb’s ears, soft.
Dark and lightness ravish garden.
Sweet scent rediscovers
The sway of grass on little path;
Reprints of fresh lovers.
If only she’d whispered warning;
“Enter moon gate,” was said.
White creeping phlox - she’s as white as
Sole touch of garden bed.

Excerpts from the compilation: “Prayer” 7
Inner Strength, Resilience.
I wish that each of us rediscovers their Inner Strength
And we understand that is a wild,
serene and pure treasure
That is simply forgotten - not lost.
Especially in the moments
when we need to say “no” or “enough!”
And get up, walk and attempt to set ourselves free
From all the internal and external voices
That keep us small
And try to make us believe
That we are irrelevant, inadequate and insignificant!
And also Resilience:
for the inevitable shocks and setbacks
And each time that we doubt, stumble and fall.
And that we allow ourselves to see mistakes not as failures,
But as perfect moments of great learning and understanding.
And let us practice taking time
to tend to and heal our wounds and hurts
Before we automatically turn off,
rush off to the next appointment
And mechanically, mindlessly, heartlessly
do all the things that we are told
That we are supposed to do.

I knew you before, but I don't know where
To be remembered as a lost desire
I feel the pull of time of you somewhere
Is my memory a testifier?
Distant faint echoes of a life once lived
I hear deep in my mind when you appear
Time's old tapestry of pictures relived
Sunsets dissolve and again reappear
I quietly reach back to a time before
And find you standing in a footprint's trace
Death is the final door souls can explore
To cross the realm of an ancient birthplace
Dare I think throughout time we've been lovers,
Or dreams and illusions one rediscovers?

He carries like a fresh, still itching scar
a neatly trimmed mustache, a remnant
of the burdensome beard of a mad war;
he scrapes away the debris in his memory,
rediscovers, regains his childhood faith,
a long-forgotten, but faintly felt reverie;
it's like hardened molten rock now, unidentifiable,
it's as crude as a splash of cold iron slag,
yet, it's there, his faith, enduring, undeniable;
and seems to him in this metropolis of peace,
where everyone fights cruel, capitalistic battles,
his faith keeps him safe, his mind at ease.
