I have a Love in Heaven hatched,
The fire there, the flame stoked, and watched.

I nursed the light with sweat and blood,
Till to ends of Earth it flood,
And takes the babes up on God's wing,
As they whistle, as they sing,
On golden zephyr aspiring,
Grafting, never tiring,
For Love! It not a fickle thing,
Committed to its sacred ring,
For Love is life and life devotion,
Pure, and deep, and rare. As ocean.
Churning in incessant motion,
O Love! Hearts' glorious commotion!

I love the hunted not the hunt.
Pursued, they want to hold your warm heart,
My trophy, gold-gleaming and thunders with love,
Proceeding from your great soul's core.
More beautiful than a rainbow.

Maybe you consider yourself a messenger,
Megaphone for the wisdom oppressed.
Fifty years now you have, wide-eyed,
Rendered the world with beauty,
And Proustian sensual bliss.

Pacing little alleys with just my passport and mauve dress
I crawl towards the dead-end, its van
And its suited men; they point and laugh.
To save myself I turn back, run;
A car swerves in, fast as a gun.

An obsidian dread engulfs my heart,
Running faster, ever fast
Underneath the emerald green parasols of Harrods.
I am the hunted now, they want my heart
Too. For being one who is kin to you.

Anarchy on the streets, I scream!
And then as if on the zephyr of a dream
You, abrupt, enter my sight,
Drifting through the pacing crowd
And I turn back, to distract the police.

Counting the beats of my thundering heart
I, coy, catch glances. You glance back.
Seeing you return, your back, head to the ground, the lady officer swivels,
Sees you! Fills my heart with dread.
I do not flinch: the questions resume.
A true story

O love, what times you've dwelled in thought!
Of deep, exquisite, tender things
O love, the wisdom you sweet sought
More precious than a diamond ring
O love, the Beauty your Heart taught
How resplendent, bright she soar and sing
For peace, humanity thy voice fierce fought
And velvet bliss to man you bring
Exalt the path of wisdom true
The fragrant unity of Hearts
That only devil would callous rue
God's innocent knowledge you impart
Turn my heart to red, from blue
Your love has no end, lo, no start
Like sapling to the sun, sweet grew
Your magic and magnificent heart
O love, the hours you've whiled away
At canvas of the nascent soul
Adorned with colours of the day
That beautify life's wall
O love, you have a brilliant way
Of rendering philosophy
O love, the Roses that you lay
Upon theology
O love, I pray forever you may
Beget the bardic Poetry
You laboured for without no pay
To end the people's sorrow, dismay
O love, paint my mind with the hue
Of heavens that you clearly see
Remake me new, with art that you
Have mastered like the treacherous sea

This life - is like a liquor - sweet
Intoxicating bliss
‘Tis to be a poet
To see sunshine as a kiss
To see the trees as folk of Earth
And ocean - as world’s blood
That keeps her ever living
That sweet - mysterious - flood
Life is an amazement
To her - I am stupefied in awe
She bustles in the tenements
Behind - beyond - every door

Angels convene with mortal souls
And mortal souls with animals
Flowers round the world mix sweet
With the bitter soils

Nothing is indivisible
All things linked by divine thread
So if all spirits seek to meet
Then together we must tread

See the trumpets touch Earth’s ears
And hands reach out to creatures
No Rose could be forgiven were
It to disdain its bacterial teacher

And moonlight winks at Earth
And sunbeams kiss the sky
Tell me: what’s this divinity worth
If you see me, and pass by?

Come fly deep in the night dear friend
For the bright stars gold, they whirl, sweet fly
Come fly deep in the night dear friend
For I am here, with guardians of the sky

And the worlds of wonders here: no end

Like the glow of the angel as she goes by

Come, for a zephyr of heaven moves
And the planet of Bliss is on high
Beginning to stir with the light that I love
On a bed of stars in the sky
Beginning to stir with the light all souls love
That returns bright, ever bright even after it dies

I say to you friend, “The cosmic bliss
Is eternity shown to a friend
Flown upon wings God bless with kiss
His generosity without end”
Come, you too will flower as Rose
Like the angels you see on your way my friend

A fire, pierced the dark
We do not know its flame
Only that within a bang
The elements, they came

And then, the fire raged
Expansion, from the core
And then condensed in to the things
The Hubble searches for

We glance with star struck eyes
At orbs of transcendent light
They look like winking beads, I thought
In their epic flight

Like life, they’re superstructures
I offer them my awe
As I row upon the Milky Way
As I step out the door

Beneath the cosmic canopy
That mystical frontier
Beneath which we can’t comprehend
Its truths so strange and queer
