eternal
🍂
we all die
many times, in myriad ways
before the physical death
in the dissolution of a dream
in the passing of a loved one
at the hands of a lover
yet with each spring
life is renewed
in the same place
it collapsed
from the source
that is Eternal
I hear
the leaves dance
in the autumn wind
falling
weightlessly
as if
in a trance
gently reminding me
it is not death
that I should fear
but celebrate spring
that never fails
to keep its promise
caress
with such care
you unfold my petals
disrobing my essence
you leave me
desirously entangled
in your purest daring
your subtle love play
finds me caving
in your soft yielding touch
bodies entwined
floating in time
I delight
in your clinging

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.
together
In you,
my essence dissolves
like sugar in water.
Beyond you,
I see no other.
Who was I
when I was without you?
Who am I
now that you are here?
Untold Stories
Now and then I wash upon
The shores of untold stories,
Begging to be told.
And as I crashed
Upon this sandy shore
Of a broken pair of lovers
I tried my best to cling onto
And grab as many grains as I could.
Before the waves pulled me back again
And the story faded away.

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.
infinite
I taste you
in breathing waters
hear you
in the laughing sky
flying
into the light
I take a dip
in eternity
each moment
pregnant with you
my feet
touch
only
to kiss
the holy ground
imbued
in moments
when I am yours
and you are mine
space and time
oh how they intertwine
swinging us
into eternity

I am not sure
what I love
more –
you
or the fact
that maybe
that maybe one day
when the stars align
when the angels plead
you will come
and sit beside me
you’ll sit
till words cease to flutter
from our lips
till the silence
quietly slides
nudging you gently
to lie next to me
and we’ll watch
the clouds float by
hear the leaves gently rustle
to the songs of existence
in the warm summer sky
you’ll lie down
and you’ll teach me
what love is
all over again
till the stars fade
and the sun rises
with every sunset
every glowing sunrise
you’ll show me
the divinity
in your embrace
the devouring memory
in your touch
reminding me of home
just like you did
just like you did
as the summer flowers
spring blossoms
and autumn rains
we’ll seize moments
to gaze into the Eternal
to our heart’s content
slip into our space
tending to ineffable treasures
that lie hidden
underneath
there we will lie
for timeless decades to come
feeding our souls
confounded by love
comforting our hearts
trembling with delight

stay with me
live the eternal now
as love grips us together
weaving our beings
into sacred Oneness

Beloved
let me stay with you
for a little longer
the veil has uplifted
and the mist has dissolved
it is in you
I wish to be lost
nurtured by sacred tears
the stillness within me
blooms
a silent collapse
from skin to soul
a quiet dip
in the ocean
of gratitude
I no longer remain me
when I am with you
stripped from time
in the place I belong
Beloved, there is no better taste
for which I have longed
my wings bud in ecstasy
and spirit surges
as every step I take
towards you
dissolves in your fragrance
and merges
let me run wild
through illumined fields
of eternal spring
and pure delight
consume me
make me whole
in this holy flight
of the soul
even after hours
of being one with the wind
you see, I lie only exalted
bathed in your Light
Beloved
let me stay content
for a little while
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

towards light
carrying the eternal flame
I leap forward
into experience
across infinite possibility
with liquid consciousness
as my guide
gambling everything
on the way
I run ablaze
each alive moment
bearing witness
to my immortal essence

Lightheaded by Mike Dacko, one of the most inspirational pieces I’ve come across
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
