Come, Break Me Open: Mystical Poetry
Dear friend:- You're here finally and I bow to the one that brought you here. You're here because you chose to be here at this time. You're here to celebrate beauty through words we speak, through deep silence. We might call them poetry or songs or chants. It does not matter what we call them. What matters most is you're here. These words come through us like flowers come through plants, like the rains pour from the sky. May we all become the light we spread, the beauty we speak. Blessings.

If I were you
If I were you,
my dear friend,
I will be quiet
and work on myself.
I will forgive anyone
who has forgotten his
sacred qualities.
If I were you, I will
speak only when
my tongue catches
the fire of grace
otherwise I will be still
like a mountain top.
If I were you, my dear,
I will surrender to love
because east and west,
north and south
meet in my heart.

House of God
D
You might forget this
but your heart remembers it vividly
There is no distinction between
sunrise and sunflower –
it is only way of speaking -
there is no boundary between
you and the sky -
don’t always run away from hunger –
it is hunger that makes God sweeter –
I heard you say, my dear friend
that love is the meeting
of two people –
did I hear correctly?
Love is not the meeting
of two people –
love is the absence
of distance between you and I
Love is when you look at me
and see yourself –
It is the union of
your heart with your mind and body
your oneness with everyone –
It is when you awaken
to the light shining inside your breast –
then you will find, everything,
everything there -
when you realize that
nothing is missing.
Then a lover’s breath becomes
the aroma released by a hundred blossoms -
and a lover’s body becomes
the house of God,
awakening happens
only inside this body.
it becomes the sky
lit by ten thousand stars –
and a trip to your heart does not
take a thousand years –
the heart becomes you and
there is no urge to
go anywhere -
in the end, the body and mind
don't even exist --
they turn into a guesthouse
of eternity.

unspoken wounds
This can happen -
When you speak not from
memories but from the
orchard in your heart,
words taste like wine
wrapped in the sweetness
of silence.
Those who hear you
Will be delivered
from their worries -
that is how
love opens and heals
most unspoken wounds.

CALMNESS
Just for now
put down your phone -
your book –
your to-do-list-
your laptop -
your mind –
your beliefs -
turn off your television –
leave the roles you play -
be completely alone –
Observe all noises
come and go –
don’t even worry
how the world is doing.
Just be here.
Here is not a location -
It is the entry into
the ground from which
all grows -
Be calm.
calmness erases
time and karma -
calmness
is not the absence
of sound -
it is the absence
of you.
It is the only way
one can dissolve
into this bliss
where nothing lacks.
when you love
This is what can happen –
When you bow
to a human being
passing by you–
when you bow
to an insect and birds
and flowers on your way –
you come closer to the center
of your own heart –
when you close your eyes
you see more clearly –
and when you love,
when you really love,
something in you
opens and you start
blossoming
honey of silence
Once the mind dips
Itself in the
honey of silence,
it won’t be interested
in jumping here
and there.
Simplicity
Fame or status or ownership ---
cannot satisfy you –
even if the entire world
bows down to you –
even if the sky knows
your name -
the world is getting
even noisier -
so return to simplicity
now.
return to emptiness.
