experience
full circle
with each turn
opened a new universe
sweat, tears, hopes, dreams
all had their way
a birth and a death
in each experience
only love and learning
has remained
that journey now
has reached completion
and new horizons await
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

Haunted
by the memories
of an ancient love
I look for you
hidden
from everyone
with me, in my heart
I carry you.
chaotic stillness
Life goes.. forward
or does it trace its way back
one encounter at a time
to where it all began
like a jigsaw
that you try to piece
your whole life
only to realize
it was already complete
in the name of ‘experience’
you stumble
diving face first
into your destiny
resisting, accepting, becoming
what you were meant to be
faces, forgotten faces
surfacing from abyss
at the time of need
others with time
sink to the bottom
in the deep
faces, traces, erase it
a hand once held
an embrace once felt
that left a taste of divinity
this fading world
sweeps past
so quickly
where is the affinity?
cradling fragments
embedded in the core
of true Reality
I persist
hearing the memory
of a quiet surrender
long before
I can remember.
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?
journey
‘Show me a way to you’, I ask.
For if my steps don’t lead to you
they aren’t worth taking.
rain
This pouring rain reminds me of you –
kisses of life softly planting on my skin
at a thousand places.

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.
unravel
as you slowly reveal
me to myself
through every experience
may I only become
a heart that bleeds love
a soul that pours light
divine transcendence
my love
hold my hand and guide me
through blazing comets
streaking naked
across the midnight sky
seduced hearts
once intoxicated in Love
incessantly burn bright
take me in your arms
slowly disrobe my essence
between me and you
there is nothing left to hide
as our bodies know each other
feel our souls collide
let go of thoughts
and bathe with me
in pure shimmering Light
feed me
your hand plucked stars
suspended
from our cosmic paradise
drenched
in holy laughter
and fluttering kisses
watch our souls take flight
when guided by the Spirit
close your eyes
and feel us transcend as one
as we lie washed out
in the moonlight
you and I
⛅️
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
sacred shrine
cloaked in humility
from the spectrum of my thoughts
to lining of feelings
I lie at your altar
imbued in your Presence
the cool morning breeze
slowly unfolds secrets
what my heart cannot fathom
these tiny eyes cannot suffice
still the breeze
hums softly
over my ears
and I hear every atom
every particle in existence
each heart beating with the same vibration
I close my eyes
and see a universe whirling inside
wherever I travel – inside, outside
I find myself coming home
even when I think I am going away
I wake up to a union in separation
once I was sane and knowing
now with a heart swollen in gratitude
reduced to nothingness at your feet
little by little
I am remembering everything
deeper tranquil
feel life pulsating
through your veins
feel it from the inside
in your fingertips, in your toes
let your skin breath
let the sun warm your soul
walking the long road
you tumbled over and fell
tired, and weary at times
you sought answers
no one could ever tell
but look where you are
look how far you have come
your eyes, your skin, your face
they all have countless stories to tell
of wars you fought
with people
with your self
faces, forms
they all will fade away
for they were never there to stay
gaze inwards
where the answers lie
live deeper in love
beyond the perception
of your eyes
in your unrestrained soul
are the moments of sheer enormity
of a value beyond words
take a dip in that ocean
there’s nothing, no nothing of the world
that could quench that thirst
even in moments of despair
there is a deeper tranquil
find a way to it
and it will stay
feel your precious life
pulsating through the veins
I’ll say these words
before my speech
in silence
is lost again
hidden door
once you find bliss
you don’t ever return
you only make appearances
