do not resign
when you feel unaligned
just laugh with the flowers
they’ll listen each time
no matter the place
nature makes space
the rivers will welcome
the tears on your face
they know just how good
the salty waves taste
and if your tide runs dry
when no one’s near by
just pause and be still
with the Universe inside
where all the stars shine
and all answers hide
in the dimensions of you
beyond your human design
you have depth so Divine
the Universal humming
keep drumming to life
all due to rhythms
that you breathe

Dust and shadows: a wondrous thought
Made of these things, yet we burn so hot
Closer related to stars we must be
Erupting for Mother Galaxy to see
We're not so different, dearest Brother Sun
We both emit flames as part of our fun
You will of course outlive us men
But we'll both implode once we reach our end

Dust and shadows: a harrowing thought
Do we turn life to dust when we burn this hot?
Does our light create shadows in our wake?
How many planets will we take?
They say black holes can be small as pin heads
I'd say there are more in the size of our friends
Isn't it queer that we shine so bright,
Only to end as the reaper of light?

Dust and shadows: a chilling thought
The absence of light leaves the world cold and fraught
The cycles of cosmos know better than us
At breaking point, it is them we must trust
When Time stills our blaze
There is no room for fear
For the pull of our souls
Will hold Sun and Dust near

all i
grew
affects
you too
and every
single plant
in bloom can
feel me move
when you blink
my world is new
the cosmos come
to life through you
+ all you do—for all
you see—is all of you
it’s all you

Breath escapes from failing lungs
Withheld and yet withdrawn
Spirit ascends from hollow body
Leaving husk behind

The breaking of cosmic chains
Disguised as extinction of the flesh

Essence drifts through ether
Lost amongst the wonders of creation
Untethered traveler
Escaping the disgrace of dying stars

Relinquished life
Acquired release

Liberation of the body
Immunity of the spirit
Elevation of the mind
Alleviation of torment
Death is not the end.

with no
need for permission
or judging transitions
the S u n keeps on rising
a self-proclaimed mission

such divine compositions
my kaleidoscope v i s i o n
feels as my minds-eye
lets me blindly
listen

life can
be so unfair
but our souls came
with blueprints to bloom
—with DNA to brave
the swamps of
despair

I am a love addict.

In this harsh climate
I'll take what I can get

But don't forget I am not proud of this, no.

Sometimes I pluck the leaves off dead trees
and string a garland around my neck
because I want to be reminded of your sweet scent.

Musky, full-mooned nights,
the frosted soil in the garden where in summer we laid,
the last days of autumn.


I haven't been without a lover in ten years.
My mother tells me I need to slow down
that I need to find myself and find God.

The only type of slowing down
that works for me is when I want to make love
and there is no need to find "myself"
by cosmic law, that is fluctuating everyday
and as the Hindus say,

I
AM
GOD.
I took a long hiatus from writing, breaking the silence with a poem longer than 50 words feels good. When the Muse runs through...

The wind blows on a restless night
No fright, sight or cloud creep around in the tranquility of darkness,
A drizzle, brought by a softer breeze from seemingly nowhere drives near, dispersing the light brought by the sweet waning gibbous moon
And so, a grand rainbow, yet dim has been cast across the dark sky, filling it with both hope and glamour and blessed optimistic tender,
Impulisive shooting stars, racing across the sky and illuminating it,
In great numbers, one would think someone let the stars rain down instead, as they shine, then shoot across the horizon, never to bee seen again, each wishing, leaving their bright trails behind as travelers,
Appearing like a cosmic chess board, the flare stars dance in a festival of pure energy in the light of a white nights eternal moon, beaming,
The legend of a first wish, travelers which bring infinite fortune, brought to those whom believe in a shooting stars power and might,
The legend of the second wish, simply infinite power brought in light
And the last wish is carried by the realisation of transience, right before the night has come to its end, a last traveler shoots across the sky, it is the wish of immortality, an eternal life which cannot vanish.
But, the last wish, is a greater curse than hell or death itself.
