ecstasy
the calling
You are
with me
within me
every second
of every moment
Yet, I live the truth
of ‘You’ away from ‘I’
Yet I feel
this intense separation
from home
Like an unborn child
pulled away
from womb
Like the thirsty desert
that longs for rain,
an affliction
with no remedy for pain.
Sleepless at night
restless for days
Beloved, your memory
stirs me awake.
My trembling lips
heaped with sighs,
endless tears, in your name
are now running dry.
Without you, my essence,
how am I
to stay alive?
Calling out
my entire being
leaps,
gasping
for a breath ..
I miss you.
Take me home.
clay
Light
has always been there
never beyond reach
flickering
at times flaming wild
defined spaces
clear boundaries
but to have a heart
that has bled much
loved much
it is in darkness
that the human in me
comes to life.
luminous dream
I wish I could write like the poets
who immortalize moments forever
they pick up a pen
and the poem writes for itself
I wish I could dance like the dervishes
who ecstatically lose themselves
in the rhythm that empties them of themselves
whirling, they reach the skies and touch the deepest oceans
I wish I could show you what I see
in the tickling laughter of a little child
in the touch of a delicate spirit
in the wilderness of nature
and the holy flight of a bird
I wish I could fill your space with a sweet lullaby
drawn from the music of angels
blanket you in my arms
that you begin to feel the warmth of my burning heart
I wish I could give you what I need the most .. and more
nightingale
I often leap
to touch your colours
breathe in
your lingering taste
in agony, in ecstasy
I climb inside you
as you unravel
in my veins
in your garden
flowers blossom
like open secrets
and warm kisses
fall down like rain
your one spark
spun me in a trance
now lost in you
I have become insane
every single memory
leads me back to you
born out of love
my very existence
bears your name
tell me
oh darling Beloved
how can I stay apart then
and yet
remain the same?
profound meeting
the soul lights up
when it comes across
a sincere emotion
the fire in the eyes
the sun in each spark
burns away the shadows
of seeming separation
⛅️
sun kissed
cruising through cool breeze
a joy, a bubbling ecstasy
floats in the sky
pulling near
your soft, invisible ties
through gleaming beams of light
an ascension, a winged flight
with an essence dove-like
caught alive with every sunrise
timeless moments
lived in closed eyes
sublime reunion
awake at night, I delight
in conversations
with the light
stars wheel above my head
with them, I keep spinning
I keep spinning in ecstasy
on a carpet white
if I had words,
I would explain
how mad and frenzied
I am carried across the universe
in that silent flight!
higher self
born of ecstasy
wild flowers grow
from your holy mouth
angels fly off your hair
and sun shines bright
through your soft skin
my world,
oh my entire world
it joyously spins in your eyes!
oh oasis of intoxication –
my desires crumble
and dreams dissolve
when you feed me your touch
stay close, my ethereal charm
keep me in your embrace
keep me warm
you are my hope
in this fading world
my diffused truth
in this eternal love affair

silent ecstasy
is it music of the waves
or ocean’s poem
liquid flowing lullaby
this prayer in passing
eluding me
into silent ecstasy
pulsating essence
dear heart
should I mock you
or weep with you
such an innocent little fool you are!
in the whirlwinds of storm,
you withstood the freezing cold
in the heat of blazing fire,
you got pricked by thorns
knowing well whats coming next
you still teeter along!
with this tenderness, this strength
fearlessness and this craziness
where from?
I give you reasons
but you throw them away
I try to sit you down
but you want to break into dance and sway
ah what was whispered to you
that you’ve grown these wings
which nectar once quenched your thirst
that you run around looking for sweetness
what image do you behold
whose beauty makes you wild in ecstasy
only if someday I could trick you
into believing me
only if one day, I could show you the difference
between the black and gold
the pieces and the whole
if that day comes
would you still bother to keep beating?
tell me
would you still care to keep loving?
bare soul
what can any of them possibly give me
when they all originated from you
tiny specks of your magnificence
what can I ask from those
who wander looking for answers themselves
amazed and puzzled by the mystery of it all
they might not hear me, and I might suffer
they might deny me what I ask, and I might grieve
what can I possibly say from my tiny mouth
to get your attention?
what can I possibly do with this withering body
to have your love by my side?
in your ethereal beauty and grace, lies the wisdom of the saints
in your silence, lies thousands of answers
when your one glance can change my world around
why would I desire anything from anyone else?
tonight, I offer my tender soul to you
let it lament endlessly and parch away
or make it resonate with your eternal frequency
in the realm of your sacred essence
