"rasasvada" poems
There was a strange moment
where time itself seemed to slow down
to a hundredth of a second
where everything was perfect.
Maybe it was just
the last vestiges of the sunset
dancing off your hair,
or maybe it was just a trick of the eye.
But for a moment,
there was perfection.
Maybe it was just,
because I like the way you smoke,
the way the colour accents your eyes,
in the mere moments that pass as you exhale.
But for a moment,
there was perfection.
Maybe it was just
because your smile ignited sparks,
that warmed me like the soft glow of a candle
as darkness started to fall.
But for a moment,
there was perfection.
Maybe it was just,
the way your voice lifted my spirits
as if nothing at all,
could make you happier.
For a moment,
there was perfection.
But for a lifetime,
there was true happiness.

Raindrops, accompanied by morning coffee’s aroma
Ice cubes and cola, that galaxy on the surface of the fizzing soda
The smell of old books, while reading as you sat on a sofa
Simple joys, euphoria, now free your mind from the entire enigma
Rasasvada, the taste of bliss in the absence of all thought
Maybe the mental state in which your mind experiences drought
People watching, people praying, people playing,
people like droids
Over the course of history, we’ve discovered hundreds of thousands of asteroids
The first one is Ceres; now ask yourself, “Do I exist”?
Are you suffocated by the alienating effect of urban life;
which you still can’t resist?
Inside the neon-soaked metropolis, transgression,
and the ignorance of youth
Truth realizes itself; and that is the truth
Dusk falls, starry night, the slumbering dark will rise
What made you think that you are wise and that you’d never compromise?
It is only while the city sleeps that you can understand its heaviness
Of what? The weight of your consciousness
It was once said that the smallest thing that you’d see is human kindness
And if not, what else will explain mankind and his varied emptiness
Death defies and completely violates the laws of the universe
The prophets did not write their words on papers, in a verse
They are engraved inside the minds of street hooligans and space vagabonds
Wars don’t end wars, trivial things, and worshiping new gods with brands
Humanity, please keep your sanity.
Regress towards simplicity and put away your vanity
People watching, people praying, people playing,
people who forgot what it means to ‘be’
The ebb and flow of life are as strange as
the creases on your sweater
You, a slave of order, creature of magnificent wonder
A being who seeks purpose and solace, in your thoughts you dwell
So long, tonight I hope you sleep well

Silence of the morning cotton mouth
and blurry vision of sleepy eyes
Relish the taste of cool mint
dressing your teeth
and goose bumps dance along your skin
at 6:01(A.M.)
and you're not afraid to return a smile
to the morning sun
but your coffee is too harsh
and it feels like heaven
rushing through your cold body
because it's October
and when his hand rests on your shoulder
and you feel a wave of electricity,
you forget what time it is
and the day and the month
the world stops rotating,
you capture this moment between your boney fingers and keep it safe with your heart
because it's 6:28(A.M.) and it's October
and he loves you and you love him

Blank tranquility
silence,
The weight of my consciousness
Lifted
The chatter of endless thoughts
Now a low hum
I fill my chest with air
And exhale knowledge
The third eye crusted shut
With years of flouride and impurity
Now beginning to see again
though I am not worthy
Of the majesty it will eventually
Bestow upon me
I will find bodha,
I want to experience
The absolute truth
Sitting with Gautama beneath his Pipal tree
Bathing in his wisdom
For he knows my suffering,
And the long path I have traveled
To understand it
And become a higher being
Rasasvada is my only escape now,
Until I become truely enlightened

i find perfect peace in lalochezia ..
your being is selcouth,
this piece is adoxography to the world
but everything to me.
darling you drowned me so deep in lust,
i started to believe that it was love..
i sit by the ocean in the night time as if i am a paralian,
listening to the most peaceful sound that is the waves roaring..
the horror of my desolation,
seems to be washing away at the sound of the ocean..
i never want to leave this place.
i suffer eremophobia,
i just need us to move..
we cant stay here, we have to leave,
this is torture.
i dream of rasasvada,
i dream of apanthropinization.
le mot juste.

Close your eyes, can you hear dulcet song?
Giant emerald palm trees creek in winds answer
As though an ocean is breaking over a thousand sea shells
── polishing, enfolding and caressing sun kissed shores
Shusssh as rasasvada ascends
You are peaceful now?
The skies above are painted cerulean-blue silk
Pleasantly, you are drunk on rhythmic wave sounds,
as you flow on cyan velvet ocean sun sheets
balanced on a Caribbean shore
Can you smell the salted bouquet?
Flawless turquoise sea flowers sway in warm seas──
as you think of soft ******* rising and falling to a gentle
lovers touch
White clams fan their smiles gently licking waters,
and Octopi’s purple-blue tentacles silently slide across clear
── silver ocean floors
Can you see the rainbow creatures dart into the light beams?
Azure waves roll into vibrations emanating in all directions
Conjured and rident in oceans magic── spheres oscillate around you,
from the veins below to the stratosphere above
You rise holding a chalice of sun gold, and
silvery worlds of mercury
Breathing in the sweet loves breeze,
as echoes of golden light in waves tingle along your face,
On the upper shores you see peridot buds and emerald leaves
──that linger on translucent blue-green Larimar days
The palm tree creeks and the wind answers,
Shussh, relax, listen to the rolling sea shells on
loves, silvery shores
