The day
I stopped loving you
My heart stopped beating.
I am dying.
I met a woman
brutal in her mercy.

Her embrace was a clinch
to prevent hard blows.
She pulled me close to push me away.
Seeing my nakedness
she leant me a dream
of chainmail and shield.
Taking love from me she gave a reprieve
to a mind resigned to the slow death of feeling.

Ignoring my words she heard
my faint silent heartbeat and
understood that it was music
too quiet for the world to hear
and turned it up louder
than I could stand.
I wept in my deafness
as she danced.
The Prosperity Beat
It feels so sweet
Where music, wealth
And poetry meet

Urging you forward
Moving your feet
It transfers the power
to people you greet

The beat’s contagious
You can feel the flow
It fills you with purpose
Every place you go

So pass on the beat
To the large and the small
The beat’s never ending
You’ll have plenty for all

And if people ask
Why you look so complete
Just share it with them…

My wife Kim and I were driving and the radio was playing a song with quite a percussion beat, and I thought, "I should write a poem about The Prosperity Beat".

So I did.  The prosperity beat is contagious - so enjoy the RAP and the poem and pass it on.

I dipped my fingers into the ocean sweet,
As the ripples washed my sandy feet
A wave splashed about into a playful mist
That brushed my cheeks and salts my lips
The fresh, crisp air fills my joyous lungs,  
My skin lightly wrapped in golden sun,
I watch dolphins chase boats all day long,
As they guess where next - the fish fly from.  
The esplanade emanates the waft of chips.
Parents treat their loving children with.
Each step more satisfying than a fizzing drink
A sunset divine, with a spectral light.
A privilege to experience this beautiful life.
She asked "what is life?"
I replied
" have I lived to know what life is?"
She added "what is death then?"
I didn't reply
Because a dead tongue
Has no heart to feel your life.

My soul heard your calling
I came back to you
Burning all the scriptures
Breaking the walls  of cultures
I came to take you  Where you were not
Where you had forgotten to visit
To take you ,to your deeper self
You had forgotten to visit
I didn’t come to  give you physical duties
I am not your karma
I am your suppressed self
I am your pages that can’t be torn
I am your love that lives  Inside of your heart
I am your soul that roams Inside your body
I am your abandoned self
That tries to breathe in you  asking  for life
I am your forgotten self
That wants to be remembered  & loved
I am just  a denier self that lives
Inside Of you
Came to remind you  your  own soul’s calling
To visit the hidden self  Within you
You were denying for years
To let the piled up emotions Gush as words
I came to empty you  I came to love you
I came to give myself
To you
I came to kiss your wound
I came to love you
That’s all I can give
My love
My soul to you
You can’t find me  in physical body
Words and forms are too small
To describe me
Find me in infinite
Call me as nameless name
Search me In placeless place
That’s inside you
As your breath
