I say you were the wrong man,
       Rather than call it poor timing.
All I want is to help you,
     You've never been good at helping.
Sometimes I think that I've lost you,
     Although you still say you love me.
Is it all in my head?
        Every man out to get me?
Sometimes it makes me feel sick,
        I just want you to be happy.
Sometimes I think I might hate you,
                                                               Or I just shamefully crave you.
Can I still call you my friend?
         With this blatant omission?
And when you look in my eyes,
         Do you see desperation?
I think I need a new prize,
    Escape my humiliation.
I need to trip ***** in Sweden,
Be free from your validation.
Tonight I find myself so grateful that things work out this way
Tonight I reflect upon the real power of those who pray
I was so convinced that things were looking quite grim
My trust in God on the other hand was looking a little thin
But God is with us and God does provide
Even when we're in the middle of a very wild ride
Divine Intervention led me to the place where I was
And God will use such things as only God does
And I truly believe in Divine Intercession: the power of prayer
Thank you for taking the time to show how much you care
But God has proved to me one more time
Who is in control. It will all work out just fine.

When the path before you is hard to see
And the air is so thick that you cannot breathe
In the chasm of silence, soft words are spoken
And the embers of life are reawakened

The Spirit that slumbers so deep within
Is released and in final victory over death and sin
Like the sun rises on the wings of dawn
Like the wind in the trees fills you with song
Like the water: freely and gently flowing
Like the flame of a candle: so warmly glowing
Like the mountains reaches to heights untold
Like the oceans: mystery and treasure we hold
Like the lighthouse shines a bright beacon
Like the wand'ring star: we follow to find what we are seekin'
Like the rainbow: a promise of faith, hope, and love
Like the trees: stretching toward the Son up above
We are bearers of the Spirit's great Holy Light
Commissioned to go forth and banish the night
To all the ends of the earth we are sent
To share the good news with loving intent
Vishnu R Nov 21
कोशिश थी किसी और की बनने का,
पर क्यों, जब खुद का न बन सका।

जब ढूंढा था आपको, था मेरा जीवन बेरंग,
पर इस खोज ने कर दिया है उसको सतरंग।

काश औरों को समझा पाता मैं इस सफर की अहमियत,
बस आप ही हैं इस कायनात में कायमियत।

अब बैठा हूं मैं राह की अंत पर बनकर खामोश,
लेकर नैना में एक नूर, जिससे दिखा दिया फिरदौस।
I tried to belong to someone else,
But why, when I couldn’t even belong to myself.

When I sought you, my life was colorless,
But this search has adorned it with colors.

Oh, how I wish I could make others understand the significance of this journey,
For it is only you who embody permanence in this universe.

Now, I sit in silence at the journey’s end,
Carrying a light in my eyes, one that revealed paradise.
Vishnu R Nov 20
बिखरा हुआ था मैं, छोड़ा था आप का रास्ता,
पर फिर भी, मौजूद था आप से कुछ राब्ता।

तुझे ढूंढा था मैं घूम के ये जग सारा,
पर था तू वहीं हमेशा, ऐ परवरदिगार।

चाहे मस्जिद हो या मंदिर, आखिर में आप तो एक ही था,
इबादत, मोहब्बत और तमीज से जिए, रास्ता मुझ में ही था।
I was shattered, I had strayed from your path,
Yet, there always remained some connection with you.

I searched for you, wandering across this entire world,
Only to find you were always there, O Nurturer of all.

Be it a mosque or a temple, in the end, you were always one,
Worship, love, and grace—living by these, I realized, the path was within me all along.
Sometimes she's here ,
sometimes she's there ,
sometimes she's high above
or radiant in mystic prayer .

Singing to the trees
or dancing under stars ,
running through an everglade
when Venus conjunct Mars .

She knows the path
of Truth and Light .
Her spirit guides
transcend the Night .

The Empress heart soothes
wounded from neglect .
She is Skadi , Shakti ,
Artemis and Bastet .
Enshrined vessel corporeal ,
the numberless strands
of infinite time ,
kaleidoscope persona of
Nature , Temperance and Psyche .

With serene countenance ,
in sweet golden light ,
the codes of the Goddess ,
Queen of Cups
and Queen of Swords .

With transforming Geometry
of Justice and
Compassion ,
the unseen ancient force
of her terrible power ,
far beyond base contemplation ,

Rains down the verdict
on dishonour and strife ,
elevating the
transcended ,
while relegating all else
to Beelzebub , earthbound
and gehenna .
-My perfect match

Years of heartbreak sadly left me in such a broken state,

So I thefore concluded that loneliness was my fate.

But one day, Jesus told me ''dont lose hope, its not too late,

Take my hand my son and I shall lead you to your soulmate!''

As I explore my anxiety.
Why am I so shy, with beauties such as thee?
My heart says, go talk to thee.
My mind says she may reject thee.
My soul says that she will set you free.
My mind says, your chocolate haired beauty, will despise thee.
My heart says you can play and be free. Frolic like in a meadow, like children are we.
My mind says you are too beautiful for me.
My soul says, as we connect, it will reveal a great mystery.
Set my mind free my chocolate haired beauty.
Let's dance and sing, as children, we would be.
Playful and inquisitive are we.
Doubt, shame and are no longer allowed to remain with inside of you, and within side of me.
Let's set our hearts, minds and souls free.
Discover, be free, to see each others,
divine, sacred and natural beauty!

I met a guy online one day,
From my hometown, in a quirky way.
Goofy and dramatic, with moods that sway,
Yet his heart shines bright, leading me to say.

With innocence and love, he shows how to care,
Finding good in all, spreading kindness everywhere.
He taught me that helping brings a divine flare,
As God resides in us, a truth we must share.

As we talked, I thought of a moment I missed,
An old lady asking, but I let doubt twist.
One of my friend stepped in, giving without a list,
And I regretted my choice, feeling the ache of my fist.

Life offers so much, a bounty so grand,
In gratitude and kindness, we should make our stand.
When we live with this spirit, it’s easy to understand,
We ponder what we give back, to this life so unplanned.
Thank you, to the flamboyant guy who shows he cares,
Your kindness and love are beyond compare.
I’m grateful for the bond we share,
And all the wisdom in your flair.
Do not talk to me of your version of God
One that personifies God by egoistic mind

For ego by definition is Exit God Out
For your personification of God
Does not resonate with my knowing of God

The hell you believe I will burn in
Is the heaven I will transmute all my sins in

The hell you believe I live in
Is my route to heaven

The hell you believe in
Will drawn you in an ocean
Of guilt and shame

Keep your fears to yourself
I can no longer entertain them

Do not talk to me of God
When you want me to silence my soul
God can never be silenced by your egoistic minds

Let me redefine for you ‘كفر’ *
Let me redefine for you ‘blasphemy’

It is being a slave to your ideas
It is being a slave to your mind
It is being a slave to your concepts
It is being a slave to your fears

I am not here to be a slave to human minds
I am here to be a slave to my creator
His breath gave life to my body

I am not here to worship your fearful mind
I am here to worship my creator through my heart

Do not talk to me of God
When you refuse me the right
To exercise my divine gifts

Do not talk to me of God
When you rob me from free will
Divinely gifted to me at birth

Do not talk to me of God
When you rob me from exercising
The gift of freely speaking my mind

Do not talk to me of God
When  you forbid me from listening to my heart
Yet forcefully enslave me to your mind

Do not talk to me of God
When you fail to accept me

Do not talk to me of God
When you vilify my shadows

Do not talk to me of God
When you fail to see my divinity

Do not talk to me of God
When you deprive me
From the experience to witness
The limitless capacity of my body

Do not talk to me of God
When you reject parts of me
Yet God accepts all of me

Do not talk to me of God
When you fail to forgive me
While God offers me eternal forgiveness

Do not talk to me of God
When you abandon your son after he sins

For the God I know
Will never forsake his son
Nor shame him for his sins
Nor will he love him less

For the sins he does is the forgetting of self
When one acts against his self

Do not talk to me of God
When you fail to embody his love

For you have yet to know God
If you still refuse to embody his divine qualities

Do not talk to me of God
Till you reflect his unconditional love, grace, mercy, forgiveness and acceptance

Do not talk to me of God
When you sexualize my body that he has created

Do not talk to me of God
When you shame my body
For the sacred red fluid that flows out of me
The body that gives birth to his creation

Do not talk to me of God
When you separate me
From divine creations

Do not talk to me of God
When you justify killing
Yet vilify love making

Do not talk to me of God
When you normalise violence upon his creations
Yet shame the pleasures of love between his creations

We will not be silenced
By the barbaric volumes of your egoistic minds
Our divinity can never be a slave to your fears

You can not fears us into enslavement
Our divine faith runs deeper than the fears that hijacks your minds

Let us love each other
While we both try to experience God

Let us love each other
While we both try to understand God

Meanwhile I swim in the ocean of grace where hell does not exist

Thank you for being here - NwK
* كفر translates to blasphemy in arabic. This piece is dedicated to every soul that has experienced and continues to experience a force of both suppressive and oppressive silence by this world under the umbrella of any ‘so called’ moral authorities not limited to religious authorities.

Dedicated to all who feel unseen, unheard and unaccepted in any way or form. I say to you; you belong, you are seen, heard and accepted.

This world was created by fearful minds of humans. Let it not silence your heart, soul, truth and love. You are not disloyal for your choice not to conform to the fearful norms of this world.
You are not unfaithful to question all that has been told to you. Allow your experience to determine what truth is for you.
