the name of the sky

You said
You did not want to know
the name of
that sky.

You said
You did not want to know
the name of
those stars.

You said
You did not want to know
the name of
This tree.

This tells me something very profound, dear one.
Through you,
The earth's beauty is finding her center within us.
Through you
This being human is flowering
And soaring above nametags and

mentally constructed labels.

a beehive

I am a beehive in the wilderness
You're a dense, dark honey
inhabiting my equator.
A brief remembrance of you
sweetens my whole being and turns
my heart into the ocean.
This is when I start forgetting small details
such as my grocery list or wearing my watch
or marking my calendar.
Is it possible to be confined in a cage
and count nickels and dimes
when being in your presence just for a moment
alters the laws of gravity?

lion's mane

Your fear conspires with your feelings
of incompleteness and  makes you run away from yourself
and enter a relationship or join the army or a group.
No matter how fast you cling to ,
you will continue to feel the pain of separation
because you are looking for meaning
in your thoughts and not
in your heart.

total surrender

To come home
You don't need
a thousand legs.
Two legs will do.
You don't even need legs.
It is enough if you have
the slightest trust
and total surrender.

I am a harp

I am a harp
wildly on fire by the touch
of your beautiful hand.
Please, come play
me again.

I flow through all beings

I once
had a large human form,
spoke eloquently and served my township
as a clergy.
one day you shone straight
into my face and said:
This is not enough. you can do more.
My lips stopped talking.
I melted and vanished completely.
Now I flow through all beings like
a water fountain.

The wild mule

This morning
I said to the sun
residing deep in the body: -
I want intoxication.
Who wants intoxication?
She wanted confirmation
The wild mule inside of me
wants intoxication. I said.
I am glad you asked. She said
She opened up fully and
Asked me to enter.
I did as she said.
I don’t remember for how long I was inside.
Does time exist when you’re inside love?
Now
All that I have learned
All the urge of kicking and restlessness
All the sign of resignation
All that I knew and treasured
Have been transformed
into a pure light.

the wine cup

The wine cup
The inside of your inside
the holder of sweet longing.
the cave where lovers meet
and vanish into warm lips.
Your beauty above everything
is not in holding but in being
empty and to mouth that empties
you constantly
I can give my whole self.

the river wants to stop

How long we've travelled
does it matter?
How challenging the journey has been
doesit matter?
This knowing has brought us here
by the shore of the Amazon. Then
the river wants to stop to this radiance
where the shore never wants to exist any more.
So much beauty has poured itself into an empty bowl
the beauty that can bend the knees
and make you bow down;
the beauty that can break all egoic
resistance.See More

Follow your breath’s scent

Follow your breath’s scent
It will take you into the mystery
of your heart.
all beings entwine and embrace
like leaves in the forest.
form and formless merge as one
your inside and your outside
dance in great harmony.

They say
There is a super massive, fathomless
black hole in the center of galaxy.
What if the galaxy is you
And the hole is your open heart?

I heard someone saying to a flower

I heard someone saying to a flower:
Don't you feel lonely here by the abandoned bridge, just yourself
and no one else? Aren't you scared?

The flower replied with a smile:
Listen my friend:
In the morning a gentle, cool breeze caresses me with the kindest hand
I have ever felt on me.
During the day, the sun blows my breath away with her most fiery, orange kisses.
At night, the entire stars tickle me with their tender, sweet winks.
Surrounded with love like this,
How is it divinely possible to be lonely?

why lament

Why lament my friend?
why punish the body with unending sorrow?
Loss in any form is when something inside
of you dies completely, for a divine purpose,
leaving an empty field
when you bring awareness to this space
A rose starts to bloom in your chest
and light begins to pour through everything
you touch.

Night sky

Night sky
dotted with million stars
the vastness of the space!
The insurmountable stillness!
Who can talk about that any way?
The grapes inside of me
soon recognized the vibrant,
bottomless river of wine pouring into
the beautiful mouth of the sky.
The butter deep inside merging with the skim milk.

No matter how profound becomes the growth;
Can a mother miss her child?

In this touching love awakens again and again

We are the micro-cosmic life-form of the universe.
Our very essence is not different from that of the sky or the earth or the ants.
All is woven together by a song that is unsung yet.
Like wings, we open and close, we stumble and fall down and then we rise
That is not all all we are. We are the field where falling and rising occurs, where dream and awakening arise.
The way we open our entire self
and pour light into the world
the way we receive love
and transmit a golden beam of light;
makes all wings expand and touch each other in gratitude.
The mountain bows to touch the valley, the forest drinks light from the sun
In this touching love awakens again and again in all beings.

As coral reefs inhabit the oceans

As coral reefs inhabit the oceans,
Light inhabits the body.
So you can make a choice
to delve deeper today and touch it
or to continue living on the surface

Blessed is the one

affluence
is what we already are.
deficiency is what we create.
until the seashells know the sea as themselves
they will keep chiming and clinking.
Blessed is the one who's married to
the source from where all things emanate.
and to where all things return.

Does the ground care

Does the ground care what kind of horse you ride?
Does she care what type of shoes you wear?
Does she care what kind of car you drive?
Not at all, my friend.
All she cares is for you to be present in every
interaction with her, in every conversation with her.
in every lovemaking with her.
Watch a cat watching a mouse;
the grace of presence will soon catch you and
split you open and you start laughing
like a popcorn in the oven.
That means, light is pouring through the space
that has just happened.
This space is you, my dear friend.
This space is you.

domestication

a child first arrives here
fully present, utterly vast, innocent and spacious.
Since a conditioned mind is not comfortable with spaciousness,
it fills the space with stories, concepts and toys.
In the dictionary, this process is called parenting.
Deep inside, it is known as domestication.

We are here to experience love

We see beauty like this,
catch flame then melt forever.
The truth is
We are not here to explain theories or describe datas.
We are here to experience love.

Your responsibility is to love

Your responsibility is to love
each day, fully and  completely.
Then you can meet the bride and the groom
the master and the pupil, the lover and the beloved
inside of you.

who are you?

We're rising beyond the seasons
of waiting, my friend
because your eyes want to see something more stunning.
The one who truly loves you is here already
to take away your future
and steal your past from you.
Then who are you my friend
after all your content is totally gone
after your fear of being secure evaporates;
Who are you that remains undamaged
and untouched?

Ever since I heard about you

Ever since I heard about you,
I've been taking down
curtains after curtains after curtains
until I was able to see your face.
Now I know with all my heart,
why everyone who sits here, with you,
tastes like a sweet wine

and wants to kiss every eye in the street.

thousand dormant volcanoes

Here is what happens
most elegant one:
Every moment I remember you
Countless stars in this body,
The thousand dormant volcanoes,
The music I have never heard before,
the flowers no one ever smelled
Come alive again.

The ocean swimming through you

My dear one:
I don’t want you
To come to me as a casualty.
The moon might be eclipsed, might wane
Or covered by a cloud .
Have you ever seen her running out of her smiles?
Now, leave all your woes behind and listen:
The ocean is swimming through you.

the hands

When you know
You are the sun
blazing the entire sky,
The hands
that build walls around you
will quickly start shaking.

like a tree

why struggle my dear friend? why?
Like a tree in the rainforst, plant yourself
firmly, deeply into your heart
and then dance gracefully
with every breeze that comes

your way.

For no apparent reason

For no apparent seasons
Laugh today.
Inside your laughter
ten thousand poems are being composed.
And inside your laughter
Life's original purpose completes herself.

beyond all easons

from beyond all easons
I bow to this beauty, my friend,
your beauty that strikes like lightening, like a sudden rain
beating on the roofs to awaken the heavy sleepers.

I promise,
I don't say to anyone, even to myself  that I saw you, .
because the very moment I start talking
your beauty  becomes an idea, a story, a thought
in the mind
The very moment I  start talking
your brilliance turns into a cloud
hanging from the cliffs.

field of no-thought

From a field of no-thought,
We can turn
Anguish into a flower
and hatred into love.

this world

We go out into this world
and witness so much suffering and pain
yet this suffering is not real.
They only mirror our beliefs and principles
that need deeper examination.
