a cloud

A cloud never says:
"I am dark and grotesque. I am useless."
It never utters a word. It never complains.

It just breaks open and pours into a sparkling, abundant rain
when it can no longer carry its own weight

Body and heart

Such is your friendship. radiant one:
Through the caves of confusion,
where there was no single ray of light,
You guided me.
You're a guide - extraordinaire.
I wanted your closeness, to flirt with you.
You came to the dance floor of existence
where we tangoed and whirled and spun
until we fell down and forgot where we were.
Such is your friendship, radiant one.
Such is your gorgeousness.
But when you gave me your body and heart.
How can I possibly put this
into a language?

YOU and I are ONE

beloved
for years, so many years
words have been barriers.
now
i removed the words
and
YOU and I are ONE.

start all over

a thousand suns convened today to sing you, beautiful one.
the song was sublime
enormous was the light.
so enormous that it was almost
impossible to hide even the tiniest
secrets of the heart's longing.
Who can turn away from this song?
Who can turn away?
the silence was vaster than the sea
and the heart became more beautiful, more shining than ever
where the world awakens to her own essence
like reptiles we take off our old skins
and start all over.

whenever you're ready

There was a man who fed on dry bread almost most of his life time. One night while he was sound asleep, a bee buzzed into his ears and woke him up. He was annoyed because he did not understand her at all. The bee kept buzzing and flying around in the house. When he followed her, he saw a bowl full of honey sitting on his eating table. "I have made it just for you. Eat it." The bee assured the man. Not knowing what he was doing, he dipped his bread into the bowl and ate it. He was too confused and happy, he did not know what to say yet his throat shouted to the bee: Where have you been all this time? The bee said: No rush my friend. Everything comes to you whenever you're ready, whenever you're fully prepared. A wild rose blooms only after tasting the sun's sweetness.

the sun

Why do you grieve, dear one
for the candle the wind has blown out?
The wind knows what she is doing, for sure.
Step out of your rooms confines and see
The entire sun shining for you.

The road

Remember this:- Journey begins on a road, the road into your heart or the one that winds to your shopping mall. whichever it is, we need a GPS or someone to guide us in the beginning. As we grow up and expand, we drop the GPS or the navigator because we know where we are going. We become the road or the road becomes us or the road even disappears for we no longer need it.

energy exchange

Energy exchanged
between us
on the cosmic level
in the depth of silence
carries a great light that
awakens the sun within us,
The sun that could lit
the whole planet earth.
The sun whose songs
could move through
the wombs of thousand oceans.

the miracle

with groans in the waters,
pulse of the earth
breath of the sky
sigh of the moon, I also expand and contract a zillion times a day.
The miracle is not in contracting or expanding.
the miracle is
the one inside you who watches all these happening.
the miracle is the part of you
that stands tall and still
even when all your hopes and dreams seem to be falling to pieces.

when the mouth parts

Somethings in the heart is very strong
Somethings in the heart
They want to be said,
They want to be shouted.
Somethings in the heart of a dove…
But when the mouth parts,
Only one word comes forth.
LOVE.

the sun's envy

when you come to me dear friend
come to me.
with an open heart.
the same way you face your sun-moon-saturated smiles
Face your fragilities too,my friend.
No part of you needs to be veiled nor hidden from yourself
for whatever is hidden, whatever is covered up
will show up in your dreams to keep you awake all night.
Once your heart opens up, dear one
You dance like a wheat-grass
tended by a passionate farmer
You sing  like  robin.
when you come to me
with an open heart, dear friend.
you become the sun's envy.

the mind's chatter

How perfectly we merge
into eachothers furrows...
how our presence heals deep, wide wounds,
Stops the mind's chatter.
This beauty of intelligent design
stops the mind's chatter.
like serene books sitting on the shelves,
like pebbles in the beach, like berries on trees...
How sacred is this knowing of oneness!
how my hills divinely fit into your gorges,
my firmness into your tender tissues..
there is more than enough space in the heart, for all of us.
how my sorrows bore into your soul moving you into awakening...
stops the mind's chatter.


this love where your wings are also mine,
this love that spills perfume into your heart
crosses thousand bridges and stops the mind's chatter.
You know, dear one,
we are not just the building tools for a house
we're the light, the life essence and the music
filling every corner of the house.
the entire mountain is made of tiny grains called love.
we are those grains, dear friend, holding the mountain.
we are the blocks and the mud holding a house together.
your beauty my friend, your beauty stops the mind's chatter.
