"yogi" poems
They enter as animals from the outer Space of holly where spikes Are not thoughts I turn on, like a Yogi, But greenness, darkness so pure They freeze and are. O God, I am not like you In your vacuous black, Stars stuck all over, bright stupid confetti. Eternity bores me, I never wanted it. What I love is The piston in motion ---- My soul dies before it. And the hooves of the horses, There merciless churn. And you, great Stasis ---- What is so great in that! Is it a tiger this year, this roar at the door? It is a Christus, The awful God-bit in him Dying to fly and be done with it? The blood berries are themselves, they are very still. The hooves will not have it, In blue distance the pistons hiss.

If I could be a cartoon character Which one would I be I thought about being Fred Flinstone But he's too old-fashioned for me And then there's maybe George Jetson A man who knew electronics Nothing like Yosemite Sam Who needed to be hooked on phonics And what about Shaggy and Scooby You gotta love those scooby snacks I've never really considered a Smurf And their tiny little mushroom shacks Or maybe I'd become a super hero Who comes to save the day Batman , Green Hornet or Underdog Who puts the bad guys away Maybe I'd live in Jellystone Park Where Yogi is still the king For "Hello Mr Ranger Sir" Is just the funniest thing © All Rights Reserved

In my travels I spent time with a great yogi. Once he said to me. “Become so still you hear the blood flowing through your veins.” One night as I sat in quiet, I seemed on the verge of entering a world inside so vast I know it is the source of all of us.

A great Yogi
Exuberant he is! That’s a Yogi with character! Smiling, treat wallah. Pyramid quartz. Dangling sparkles. Sunlight reflects His teeth softly open to the world. Taste buds willing Simple yet refined Yogi Yum Yums Spreading the thunderous joy Of pure delight! He gives permission to say “GOD” He sits. When no one is around In the hall where Shiva dances to his music. Pulsing the instrument Harmonium glimmering with song. Goggles on, ready and shimmering He booms a great confidence, The resounding sound: SHRI RAM JAYA RAM JAYA JAYA RAM SHRI RAM JAYA RAM JAYA JAYA RAM!

Yogi Uday
truth be told, the ticking hourglass will never be our friend. cos it keeps pushing my milky way farther away from yours. somewhere along the way, you found dharma. leaving me to waltz on that dance floor alone, like i did to you, millenniums ago! back then, i became poet, philosopher, king and the lord of the universe. while you stayed behind, a shy country lass with lotus eyes pining for my love. in the quarrels of love and life, you hid my golden flute and threw away my loaded dice, which helped me win the mundane games of *** for tat. leaving me now with an inexhaustible quiver of karmas eager to fructify. as i stand here in a tree pose regulating my incoming breath, i the yogi eagerly await for our galaxies to turn, perhaps, even collide and kiss some day. © 2023

Everything thing you are about to read is the whole truth, and nothing but... she flew via jet blue, da coop decamped urban lands, leaving poet producing this piece de (at-the-door poem-de crap) resistance: Sad mad bad where I asked? a mountain in Mexico, where purpled pink wild flowers decorate, and the yoga mat is never rolled up and post pampering included! harrumph, and worse, exclaimed **NYC got florists and yogi masters for hire** with my sisters, will commune, hike by dawn light, eat veggies day and night and bone my body with exercise **Manhattan got veggies, central parks, and occasionally a pretty dawn, bone doctors extraordinaire, don't you know the best veggies, grown in Whole Foods in the Time Warner Center? go then, leaving poet, sad mad bad to salve my soul, know this! I am eating a tuna Swiss melt, French Fries and ketchup, Danish made with Danish cheese, drinking my fatte latte. This my stress, so well expressed, but baby, be advised, I am doing it, in our bed! all day tv watching, crushed neath an inconsolable need to do all those spiritual things of which you disapprove!** you went down the long hallway at 6am, you thot you heard me say, Leila, you got me on my knees! what was said but this: *Save me babe, from doing as I please!*

She Decooped and Decamped
My eyes smell sleepy, he, refusing to depart, But there is coffee on the nightstand, The odor, infiltrating the dozy brain's heart. Annoyed with each other, They shout and fight Like teenage siblings Commissioners at the SEC, Arguing over bathroom monopolization, The tongue stays sidelined, feigning net neutrality. The bed smells empty, For the **** has crowed, Yogi David commands your presence At Saturday morning Eight O'clock yoga services. To get to his Sinai on time, Early departure, an FAA requirement, Car, ferry and foot you will deploy, In the winter, special skis and snowshoes, That blessed by his mantra, Enable you to walk on water. In the kitchen there is sisterly conversation, Yes, puttering and muttering and discussing, Sister's grown child texting, he's making the pilgrimage To see Mama, alone, unexpectedly, Six hours driving. Friends and countryman, That is how you spell t-r-o-u-b-l-e Sleepy master dwarf refuses to concede, Says when kitchen noises retreat, Back to him you will supplicate, They (the other dwarfs and body parts), Have a big convention to better communicate.. Departure comes without a kiss, But not without complaint, She always says I love you first, Which is natural, She being a girl. Now the bladder starts to whiny~chatter, What about me, what about me, Don't you love me, and me rhymes with P! While the stomach quietly snores Have been well-fed but a few hours before, He dreams of some more....macadamia crusted s'mores... I could verse you more, No problem that's for sure, But you got the point: The morning smells.

Inadequate to the task Humbled by the enormity of our love, The perfection of our joining, Where are the words kept that sufficient Honor and portray what we have achieved? You seated, beside me by the bay, finally, Two old adirondack trees side by side, By the sheltered place you bequeathed me, Where poems are raindrops, so numerous, And you, if not the subject, the source. The waves rolling in, mirror the Fluidity of thy dancing, Fluidity of the adaptation, Two lives, now one bay blue colored, The merging, the unification, Many waves, but one bay, The Bay of Us. Yet so different. We are cloud worshippers, Does not the Skye's Tableau inconstancy, Mirror our ever changing form, individuality, Yet, one sky, The Sky of Us. So many times have I lain be-sided Even as we this afternoon sit now a-sided, Tears welling up, above and beyond control, This man's steady nerves, constant on patrol, Our secret open, visible, un-hided, Your are my Magi My Yogi, i.am, your, obedient devotee, shaped to you please. This is the birthday present my words present. Words, unremarkable, Except for the contentment That lies within them. Let me love you more, Recklessly abandon norms, Kiss you at the supermarket, at the opera, Unashamedly, take you in my arms Wherever wonderment and wandering lead us. T'is so very hard to compose When tears flow upon my writing tablet, To wipe, blot them away, I refuse, For tears are joyous emblems, Salty badges of love, All compliments of our complementary beings, The Tears of Us. The soaring music we gather in. The shimmering sparkles upon the bay, My gift of natural diamonds better, this day, Than jeweled glitterati I hide in the refrigerator. All this treasure, part and sparkle of The Treasure of Us. T'is truth, I know not, forgot, your age nor care, The day the time the year, What matter they to me these artifice markers, I weep carelessly, undone, overcome, Every day, but this day, most, united joy. Need-No reminder, I am a survivor, From a concentration camp That slow programmed to destroy, Perhaps the kindness you claim As the hallmark of my fame, An inadvertent gift, from the devil? You shook my hand on our first meet, Don't think, have I ever let go? Let me be your driver, entertainer, your only poet, Let me be whatever you need, Even as now, I laugh-cry, your tissue carrier. For t'is I who weeps and keeps These tissues as part of our history. You are the first, Who has ever read The Words of Us.

You took me to the Mekong River, handing my documents over the border, to the temple of the left-handed Buddha, in the hope it would all make sense. You took me to the brink of a stolen calamity, you stayed with me in poetry; my eventual insanity. You kept me with your golden voice, you kept me with your wit. You lost me with your genius; how you discarded it. You drove me to a calling that I could not fulfill, just make statuettes from the ash that lines my windowsill. Call it art, or call it a longing, call it that animal burn for some kind of belonging. You were a father, you called off the saints, you cooled my tongue, my off-white yogi; taught me these songs of pain, these songs of love were meant to be sung by everyone. Not the clever mind, nor the metronome heart that keeps time with this life, that keeps pace from the start, but for the stumbling folk, the slow off the blocks, the maladjusted, the criminal; those who only see dark. That this chip on my shoulder is a flute in which to sing, that each failure I live, is a story I should bring to the table of life, to the feast of recovery, for every impatient soul with a hunger for discovery. Each broken chord is a chance to sound alive, amongst the crackle of the static, there is another side. Another wasteland companion, another strangled voice, that amongst all this hopelessness; we always have a choice. To bend or to break in the shatter of our soul, sometimes the glass must be half-empty in order to feel whole. That some convenience pleasure is not always enough, sometimes we must bear the burden; sometimes we must hang tough. Because the words will come, the sun will rise, amongst the debris of yesterday, there is another side. You took me to the temple and on bended knee I pray, that I could lift a suicide, with just the words I say.

yogi YOGURT
it doesn't matter where i am anymore--off in what's being made clear... over and over and over. riding these bitchin' waves... everywhere occurring to itself-- head tilted to the side, i smile in welcome. it was always supposed to be this way... the sky too needs to be freed up-- don't you know? as a bird pulling air to its heart to fly on it...don't you know? look through anything you wish... it can handle it--see exactly what you want to see, after all...it's okay. with that sung--i've come to know she's looking my way. it's all on end...a yogi sleeping on a bed of nails. i have forever to wait out her mind. i can feel her falling--rushes of space tightening around her body. she's already been torn asunder. inside she's answerable to no one-- i am empty enough, i am full enough for just that.

Answerable To No One
The forest is still, like a crouching beast, slowly seeping in to our cells as a tranquil wild feeling, behind the closed doors of our room mon amour is busy in some secret ritual I suppose. I am watching the dance of tangled trees leaning over the veranda rails of the forest lodge, door opened, she appeared, asked me in, across her luscious ******* my name is written in brown, I get the prompt, like all urban animals would, lick the chocolate from  her perfect ******* down little by little, and feel how each swell second by second "Whatever you deem fit"she suggests, unambiguously I saw desire dance wildly on her eyes, nature's prompt I am a yogi, let me confess, my heart set on the union on the highest level, that tempts but the demands of here and now, can i reject? all it says is this"Be a bhogi, seeker of sensual pleasure as this moment is ripe for that, neglect it at your peril" I am not dogmatic though seeker of truth higher, I have to get ripe more, now I understand, I obey her, my sensual desire and the call of the moment I won't fall as this is the truth at the level of flesh.

Yogi's quest has subtexts
I took you to the top of a Colorado mountain A yogi with blonde hair and light eyes Told us to let go of our anger, let it seep through our skin like a fountain And evaporate into the angelic blue skies Let it go Let something go She said "Be here, happy, now." You told me that night You felt relieved for the first time, though you didn't know how But you finally felt you were not going to fight Yourself Your mind I bombarded you with my energy I cocooned you in my love I gave you my spirit I only hope you look back on our wanderings That you are thankful for what you recieved And that you still hold in you a bit of my energy, a bit of my peace.

It is a general saying that What You Seek is Seeking You. If it is so , then why the sought for (i.e. God ) is not meeting the seeker or seeker is discovering the sought for (i.e. God). It is very easy to say that God is looking and searching for us. If it is so, then why we deviate from our path. Why we are attracted to the lust, money or other worldly material. If God is searching us, then certainly he has to guide us in tracing him. But the reality is just opposite. If tread the path of God, people will laugh at you. If you are working in any office, it is very easy to talk about politics, movies, girls, foods, clothes etc. It is very difficult to find a companion with whom you can speak about God. It looks as if God has created all these hindrances so that it is not convenient to seek him. You seek about movie and you find movie theater. You look for clothes, you find the multiples mall easily. But what about God. Go and ask questions to so called Spiritual Leaders, Spiritual Guru and ask for their experience regarding proof of god, and you do not find definite answered. I have met various so called spiritual leaders, spiritual Gurus and asked about their spiritual experience about the God. But I receive only hesitating answer, that too also in Negative. I do not want to name such leaders. I have also read many books like GOD SPEAKS by MEHER BABA, LAW OF SPIRIT WORLD by KHORSHID BHAWNAGRI, AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF YOGI by Yogananda Paramhansa, Gospel of Shri Ramakrishna. But the end result is confusion. Each book gives different account of God. If God is seeking us then why the same is confusing us by providing so diverse ways of following him. Ramakrishna says money and women has to be avoided on the path of God. While Osho and Modern Gurus says just contrary. In fact in word of Osho, without treading the path of *** , it is difficult to follow the path of God for modern man. For Vedanta, the seeking has to follow the ascetic path. The path the self restraint. While the path of tantra (the Left Marg) to utilize women and wine for attaining the Samadhi. It is Just incomprehensible to believe that just two contradictory path lead to realization of same God. When you look to go nearer to a particular cities or places , then on the way you start meeting land marks, evidencing that the path, you are following , is going to lead you to your destination. In fact on the ways, you find many stones, indicating the distance which is yet to be covered in reaching the destination. But in case of God, things are just contradictory. The more people you approaches to seek advise regarding the God, the more disappointment comes to you. The more book you read to tread the path of God, the more confusion you creates for yourself. The more you discuss the topic of people around, the more alone you become. The more you tread the path of truth, the difficult your life become. Then how it can be said that WHAT YOU SEEK, IS SEEKING YOU????? In fact , truth is that What we seek, creates hindrance in being sought for.

The only thing brighter than hope is loss it chews into the goldsmith that makes the soul and gnaws me into colors each part of me flying down into the wilderness I am fluttering as the farmer ploughs me into earth where my intensity can rest. In full dress once I left an economy of boughs, the candle isn't lit, a wick without its crown I leave the world schooled in lean and lithe, a yogi, I am here to study my own neglect. The rest of the world, lion bodied, glances at my century of rough. But I robed the ground with my convictions I couldn’t keep them seasons burst out of me even if I wanted to hoard my greedy treasures for myself I couldn't thus robbed of my enfranchisement I mutter in time to the wind sorrow gave me this reason-flayed second purpose Which is to feed others, my body now a spilled nut I am birded by the sowing belly of earth my bells are rained and pinched by this tapering I am being shrunk to get through the door to death only snow will enter in the end when I am covered white and immaculate together we give up color for the season of bones.

The Falling Leaves
Jeans rolled past my knees Sleeves cut short to a v Hair tied with elastic rubber band. Already from shifting position Three splinters and one rusty needle have pricked my soles. Here on the bleachers at Pioneer Park, That's what you become. A splinter of wood amidst a haystack of action. There's that group of thirty plus playing frisbee on the grassy flats, and That group of acro yogi's you were supposed to join. I'd rather sit here on these prickly bleachers and Be a splinter of wood, with the sun shining and the cloudy sky drizzling, Then go down below and be a social butterfly. I've been that all day, now all I need is to get rained on, feel the wet, Be a splinter of wood on the bleachers.

Splinter of Wood
The river, her vigor sublimated, is a thoughtful flow after the daring dive head on from the pinnacle of the cliff, madly arrogant roaring rush through the dense woods in spate during torrential monsoons muddy red, satiated now, at ease, meditative, inner currents subdued. These planes are different, the river an uncanny imitation of a pond, the white swan, she  keeps still, unfazed by the pulls to four sides falling in love with the enigmatic pink lotus, my witness that blooms alone, in the marshy shallows, only for her to fall in love. Amazing is the swan's prowess,she  makes the mighty river accept her ease, wise tranquil pace and brings to a slow down little by little, listening to the inner music,which is oh! haunting the river now comes to trance yogi like, in sync with the foaming green waves of trees along both the banks, the whisper of wind to coconut leaves,if you listen is the mystic mantra, "Ï am that..I am that..I am that" wisdom isn't alien, don't look for it atop only the mountains it's in the wind's hands,on the lap of  land and in water's prompt, what space evokes when one merges seamlessly in nature's divine , the song one hears silent within, echoes aloud in nature's chant. My heart is ruled only by her, the white swan.I realize.

Please hear my plea Next time you talk to Yogi ask him ‘bout a Boo-Boo Bear for Smokey Mark Toney © 2021 “Created in 1944, the Smokey Bear Wildfire Prevention campaign is the longest-running public service advertising campaign in U.S. history, educating generations of Americans about their role in preventing wildfires … Though he has already accomplished so much, Smokey’s work is far from over. Wildfire prevention remains crucial, and he still needs your help. His catchphrase reflects your responsibility: Only you can prevent wildfires. Remember that this phrase is so much more than just a slogan: it’s an important way to care for the world around you.”—smokeybear.com “Boo-Boo Bear is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon character on The Yogi Bear Show.

Smokey Bear
tis a perfect summer evening. a blood shot moon inches across the night sky in the city of sin. the sage and the enchantress sit at an outdoor cafe under a lantern lit tent exchanging life stories, as a vintage bottle of ‘82 margaux loses its virginity.   she could’ve been off the cover of Vogue. clad in haute couture, her slit eyes sparkle like the diamond butterfly ring, she elegantly sports. her complexion near flawless. he on the other hand, a hippie, a yogi and ancient as Rome. living proof that the hour glass can indeed be brutal on a city dweller. her doe eyes dart from the past to the future while his steady gaze stays in the present. quite like the burning candle on their table. the mercury dips into the night as saintly time simply goes rogue. written in the stars this unusual kinship ~~ beauty and the beast © 2021

Jack and the bamboo bean stalk
Far from the restless boom box blare jazz blue **** city lights and guitars on fire miles from the urban smell of opulent people, pierced armpits bulldog buildings pressed together in a dead-heat many asphalt moons from quaint village cafes Yankee Stadium, Central Park, Queens Boulevard and downtown mystical bookshops I found a clear, pure halcyon stream hewn from stars, trickling down from Heaven an affluent vision of strength gushing over the softer translucent parts of me gentle Yogi yodeling through my alpine heart lets sail upstream to the roof of your prayer washed Zen mountain offer lotus garlands and incense at sunrise we kneel in the Temple Alucinante (Please share the warm embrace of my new Poetry book: 108 Bhakti Kisses, The Ecstatic Poetry of a Modern Day Gopi http://amzn.com/0984787216)
