Each domain a unique template,
within which we try to placate,
illusions that rise and subside,
cloaked as fears and desires that bait.
As divine light, why would we hide,
when in the void we wingless glide,
recognising life as a tease,
where outcomes we let God decide.
Oh hermit, embrace and release
each impulse with nonchalant ease,
as we endure, keeping heart pure,
with no demons left to appease.

Syria, unshackled by the three crimson stars, twinkling so free
Yearning for so long, for the green field, the future to be
Ripping off the blood-stained past of every sin and atrocity
In his strength, he made the lions and they dynasty flee
And they, the Guardians of the Syrian Homeland, became free

Freedom to think, freedom to give'
Can't pay for Love
Why do we wrangle and sieve?
From scales, un-shown we'll never learn
Within prisons of opinions
Our sensibiltys so burn.'
Offerings of idols, some eat it up.?
Oh so many ape and preen!
When will we see? We bought a pup?
Can humanity ever leave this shore?
On-load raise a sail strong and sure.'
Sharing valid resources, good lore; and more.'

Without a second look, I burnt the book
For all words did was to muddle my mind
My heart has now broken free of it’s shell
And in wholeness of being I’m love aligned
Like an arm or leg, mind too is but a limb
So I do employ it but only when needed
My spirit is free and celebrates aliveness
Divine entwined, my will to God conceded

Miles and miles he has gone,
He wonders when he'll find what he seeks,
Exasperated, tired and worn,
He has seen several frail weeks.
He has toiled and laboured,
Several days of meagre portions,
Dreams of places he wished he toured,
Still living in life's low sections.
He is undaunted in his pursuit,
He holds tenaciously on to hope,
Wearied by his predicament, he holds no dispute,
He's keeping taut his life’s rope.
He believes life is a mystery,
Everyone's story competes for history.

Step outside the box

Unshackled ,awaken

Just for a moment,don't
hesitate ,let it

Unshackled love
The kind that’s so free
Nothing’s the limit
Anything will go on
Feelings flow towards one another
Uniting them together
Being under one heart
Harboring all their love as one
Sharing is mutual
To separate is impossible
Melted together united
Love makes them complete

The Seasons heaven inspired Summer
Jousting feasting + dancing diversions
Love exquisite reflection in the mirror
Tinned soup shelves in the village store
wicked chocolate sauce nutty ice-cream
Crimson berries golden mountains blue
shadows unhinged white double doors
wide stairs tall fellow with a strong chin.
She came up to him and cleverly kissed
Fifties beatnik style polo necks corduroy
Feline supermodels prowl the catwalk
where fun and happiness are the rule.
Colorful passion ,friendship + intimacy.
Sharing wonderfully warm magical elixir
See roomfuls of naked women bathing.
A tribute to your beauty be immortalized
feel fantastically alive Queen Goddess.
Permission to kiss every inch of the body
Girlfriends dancing , whirling + stomping.
Plush velvet sofas lead light lampshades
Playing pieces of music body of a cello.
Tea-pots doilies darling babies parties
Fix the favorite feeling fabulous pleasure
Keep the juice alive flavour rhapsody.
Remember your gloriousness leisure.
Angelfish pillows, enjoy the nice things.
