from sex to bloodShaking hands, legs covered in blood;
Where am I?
My vision is a blurr, but I can’t unsee you,

The Bliss of Solitude
In life’s incessant din
As I search for peace within
Lone spaces I desire
And stillness I adore
Then silence is my mate
And noise is what I hate
Closing my eyes to the outer space
A window opens to my inner...

We met a clairvoyantthe clairvoyant saw
God within our heart
and our soul luminous
we were pleased
in as egoically
delusionally
for where is God not
yet these validations
quietened our doubts
steadying hearts resolve
to deepen inner silence

Different Kinds of QuietThe squawk of seagulls punctuates
The quiet by the beach,
Yet the lack of other noises
Makes relaxing within reach.
The wail of sirens doesn’t let
The city quiet stay,
For even in the early morn
The noisiness holds sway.
The...

A Winter's Night is Different
A winter's night is different
snow's mantle o'er the ground
Noises muffled, birds unheard
few folks out on the town
This quiet creeps inside my...

FOR SILENCE TO BE SWEET AGAIN
the whats-and-whys
of your omissions
have me pondering-wondering
how can you not know
that you torment me
and play havoc with my mind
sweet dreams do not come easily
when my heart palpitates
to rhythms of delirium
is that all there is
is that all...

Zen modeeyes look to dice
rolling, rolling
breath is bated
hearts fluttering
it is in a way
a eureka moment
although stuporous
eyes look to dice
rolling, rolling
witness in equipoise
allows heart’s delight
to frolic in playfulness
immersed in the role
in vibrant nonchalance...

Peace questEarly days of childhood were carefree
Our joyous centred presence frolicked in play
Then we grew up and bound ourself to a mind tree
Tail began wagging the dog when desires held sway
A self-centred stance made our heart...

In Silence
In silence…
Darkness falls, whispering
In murky, hushed tones
Laughing at the shadows
Beneath the moon’s glow
Dreaming of the outcry
When thunder explodes
In silence…
Winter caresses the heart
With flakes, drifting
Over the hushed lawns
Glimpsing the sigh of miracles,
Wonders found in the call
Breathless...

secrets of the heart
in the silence of the night
beneath a moon that’s bright
who do you long for when you’re apart
who is it that won’t release your heart

Stuck Halfway
Most dissolve or become
shrines you visit in old age.
Others linger, unresolved,
and can sit there in memory
for years until what is missing
comes creeping back
or starts the replay
of a moment you paused
long ago, now...

Journey without movementIn an attempt to capture love's essence,
heart flits about from desire to desire;
bemused thus, veils its self-luminescence,
wandering in darkness, till it does tire.
The eternal joy we seek is within
but strangely our attention looks outward,
enslaved by...

Zen modeblissful in inner silence
thus appearing withdrawn
the monk is oft misunderstood
since his attention is internalised
yet noticing the world's response
from time to time he surfaces
mindfully gentling his touch
in nonchalant playfulness
