ocean
understanding
each experience
that connects me
back to the Source
offers a glimpse
into my true self
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.

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.
whisperings
In rustling
of leaves
I hear you
in stillness
I feel
you persist
here
never too far
between
my breath
and heartbeat
hidden yet visible
you tease
often playing
hide and seek
come close
sit with me
be mine,
my perfect bliss
cadence
I trace you
in quiet moments
of love and madness
in a language
beyond words
for thoughts collapse
when lips part
and a hidden speech flows
from your soul to mine
I beckon you
to dream
for within you, my love
the shine of a million diamonds
is waiting to gleam
the likes of what
death cannot touch
and life cannot flee
I treasure
your most aching parts
for even though
we have loved and lost
we still believe
in the sheer enormity
of our sacred beating hearts
I hold you
in tight embrace
for even as rain pours
your love soaks me
to my bones
without a warning
it often comes crashing
at the threshold
of my soul
I invite you
to come in and stay
for my universe expands
in encounters
like yours
where in just feeding
each others appetite
and caring, one finds oneself
cared for
so hold my hand
and lets chase cosmos
and the stars at play
as the Divine writes
our eternal fate
between me and you
beloved soul
love will always find a way
silhouette
the nights
flow in
washing over
like waves
a mystery
unfolds
silently awaiting
to be told
of seized moments
forgotten silhouettes
and all that
a heart can hold
thoughts
flood my veins
with nostalgia
of notes
that play within
time halts
when I hear you call
we meet
to fathom
who we are
a delicate touch
a soft whisper
in synch
two drops
of spilled ink
deeper knowing
counting
each pearl
I remember
what I had
what I have been given
your grace
infinite
often lost in you
I find my value
sifting through sands of time
ages lived
hours forgotten
swept in your tide
memories of love
spiral up
painting the sunset skies
awakened
by your whisper
even in waking
my dreams take flight
who am I
scattered stardust
a grain of sand
or a filament
just a filament
flickering in your light?
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
distant home
may I never forget
the revered value
of each feeling sacred
leading me back
to where I belong
