that's when I first met you.

"hello. nobody is left, can I be with you?"
I nodded hesitantly
"do you know what we are doing?"
he asked in a daze
"I have no clue"
he finally sat down
his curly blonde locks plopped on his shoulders
"well we should probably find out."
I scavenged through the book
trying to get a closer look
I read in between the lines
still trying to find

the answer.
that answer meant so much to me
I don't know why
why could it?

"I think we are recognizing fruit flies from the typical kind."

"oh my." he smiled
I didn't even have to force a smile
'"this'll be fun"
I read his lips carefully

"I think so too."

i've always wanted to **** a ghost
and now i suppose i've gotten my wish
but i look down and see
your insides exploding
with the wrong kind of transparency.

Ghazal
How
many
people
Am I?!
Looking back,
I found prayers scribbled in the margins
of my sociology notes.
Sometimes,
I am unsure if God still lives
or if we have killed him.
But considering the answers those prayers received,
I believe He is still kicking.

I must be clear.
My mind, heart, soul, must align
with that of truth, and that of God
and it must come out my mouth
perceptible, so that all may know of what I speak,
and I must go there, and speak to you, because
it is my calling, and
today I opened my Bible to a random page
and, a highlight, left there from a long time ago
like I am prefiguring my own future,
"Here I am, Lord."
And I think, I've known the whole time.
Ever since that day,
when I saw those trees and the mountains and started crying
And the second day, when I felt the ground beneath me and the stars above
and I was whole, and humble, a full servant of the universe
And the third day, today, when the class was silent and I said,
'Prophet.'
And that's why I'm tall and my voice carries,
because there is something I must do.
I have walked in that path and I'm ready, because
having been aligned with the universe's purpose for me,
I have created and allowed for the bigger purpose to begin:
to perpetuate that egoless love,
and spread the word,
because agape, and only that, is how we can live in harmony.
You can feel it within you, can't you?
It's the human compassion that drives us and creates a straight line
from my heart to yours- if you are tugged, I will follow,
The strings of the loom are woven, not tangled;
how can we make each other happy?
That's the question.
Humans exist with one goal in mind: happiness.
The Buddhists believe something, as do the Hindus
and the Christians teach about it too.
They all seem to say something about love,
and something about suffering,
but there is one truth-
throughout all religions,
one message.
Give fully.
Give wholly.
Forget yourself.
Value your brother as much as that which you are-
We are one.
It's time we started acting like it.
We all have different ways of achieving and believing what it is that is true, but deep inside us, we know the way to harmony and happiness. Be it through meditation, theism, atheism, wicca. Whether you call it God or nature or the universe, you know what it is, don't you? We have to acknowledge the validity of others' ways to find the truth. We are all called home and we perceive what home looks like differently, but it is the same house. We can all feel deep inside us the world spinning and cycling and creating a beautiful harmonious chaos. We are all connected. We are one.
