things fall together
and things fall apart

like words fall on paper
and transform into art

and sometimes the best explanation
is in the hands of God

and the reasons we look for
are far and abroad

and the heartache we feel
cannot be captured in poems

and the sickness and anger
is best left unspoken

A light meets
A darkness
Hideously
Tamed

A match
That knows
No balance
Only pain

He swoons
At her
Smile

She
Burns in
His flame

Everything
Freezes
To capture
This moment
In a timeless
Frame

The sport changed over time
From one art to multiple
Legends retire hard to let go
Thankful for memories
For changing the game of it all
Standards set high for the next
New generations coming in
Analyzing the strengths
Noticing weakness need work
Room for improvement
The sport has evolved
From underground seen as brutal
State regulations standards

MEERA SURESH
SUN FALLS AS THE STARS GLOW
I FEEL WARM EVEN IN SNOW
THE MOON PEEPS O SAY HELLO
AND SECURES ME FROM FOE
TILL,
THE NIGHT IN MY DREAM
ADORING YOUR ENCHANTING IRIS'S GLEAM
LYING TOGETHER ON THE GREEN PHELEUM
AS OUR COLLOQUY FLOWING LIKE STREAM
MY LOVE,
THIS DREAM WILL NEVER SEVER
AS THIS NIGHT WILL LAST FOREVER
just love....you will forget everything around....keep dreaming

The Dybbuk
Encumbered by the lunacies of men,
the seed of joy lays in a greater mind.
The breath will draw you closer to the den,
where every answer waits for one to find.
The self blows as the wind through all the sky,
Monsoons and sighs blown from a single Air.
The wanderings of lust begin to die,
New flowers grow from bones without a care.
The flow of water carves the ancient rock,
as cosmic wheels kaleidoscope through time.
A shepherd hunts a wolf to save a flock,
but canine birth remains its only crime.
Release thy worldly ties upon the skin,
Ascend the stony staircase deep within.
I wrote this poem from the bottom up, in a forest grove, with my love and closest friend.

Indulge me  not with honey
such sweetness I can't bear
I would be truthfully happy
with a sprinkling of salt for us to share-

promises I would not demand
the silence of love I do prefer
beyond words our hearts should understand
let faith and constancy keep us ever together.

Think not of 'heaven'
    be grateful with what you are given.

red wine
stained our lips,
with clumsy hands
tracing moonlight
on your skin.
our love got sweeter
with each stolen kiss
and in those moments
i knew,
i would follow you
to any ruin.
- all i could breathe was you.
