I saw him not in suavest suit
For he is coy at a disguise
And disguise is mastery in that place
Infested by swarms of spies
Those wretched parasites on haunch
Of Beauty who inspires lullabies

He sauntered 'mongst that drifting crowd
In worksmen's clothes and cap
A pair of aviators on
To beguile the crowd perhaps
He cocked his head and stared at me
My heart swooped soared and clapped

I never saw a man so sweet
As he, eyes' charm potent, intense
Gazed upon this pilgrim rapt
Her heart filled with awe immense
And with every step her Love increased
Put past to reason, sense

I chained myself in soul and body
To him, my kinship flame
And was wondering if so his malady
Would become less tender, tame
When I sensed his drudgery, demise
Was a baron's law, endgame

Oh Lord! The very glow of Love
Seemed then to wither, die
And a chasm opened in my Heart
As wide and deep as sky
My soul was barbed with thorns of Christ
To think of Him with earthworms lie

To think of that Heart hunted, hung
In tyrants grim steel net
Sullied my very own with pain
Not even sight of him could abet
Dolorous I sobbed and screamed
Till my cheeks were red and wet

To **** the man who loved the world
So much he staked his soul
To bring down tyrants castle
Whose oppression the mind appal
But his heart forever beatific, bright
Have pilgrims rapt in thrall

That he loves too much may be his sin
Some others too little, theirs
Their truths sell at an ugly rate
His for free he shares
Knowledge for the masses true
Not a tyrants wares

Peace in life living; people the all imagine
Grove of gold, I walk softly to
Be strength to hide in as fierce rain
See how we go dreaming rocking to and fro

And colours stream in dreams and beams
Suffice to infinite ignite the sky
Inspires hearts to soar, take flight
In a dance, daze, dream of divine revelry
That lift one wondrous out the fight
Of hurricane raging by

Irrepressible, that honeyed bow
Wends through sky, celestial arc
Through which the cosmic fires go
Imbued with bright celestial spark
Dreaming, rocking to and fro
See how we go, on Love's arc
Stealthy on wing like crow

And colours stream in dreams and beams
Shine in spite of sceptics faith
Blaze in spite of eyes embrace
Celestial crown perfect, sense no bars or seams
What fine art could frame the face
Of the ravishing rainbow supreme
Which lifts one after tumbling from grace
Like Dorothy back to Earth from the most seismic dream

Touch my Geography
Fathom my History
Trace my Heart's Geometry
Kin souls in symmetry
Love is a fair free revelry
Souls can't grow in battery
To you devote this flattery
Dream on a beam in poetry

Veil of existence flutters soft
As immortal being borne aloft
By unity of time and things
Through whence passion for creation sings
Cosmos a glistening spiral ring
In which mind of God aspiring
Gliding o'er heaven on golden wing
For which the saints and angels sing

At font of time with chalice pure
A boy irresistible to adore
Distills wisdom for his lyre
Could be sung to Buddha's pyre
For lust for peace never expire
So deep in us the cosmic fire
I sing to the stars to them smile
Dreaming of heaven just for a while
He hurled his heart devoted it
Showed his soul and bore what's there
Truth of Love cross visceral chambers writ
He has nothing left to declare
