insane
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?
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
