HOW MUCH ME


How much brighter must the sun shine, to  see in the hidden shadow?  


How much clearer must be the mirror, to see the sadness in my soul?  


How much violent must be the anger, that dares to hurt Me


How much bitter must be hatred, that finally kills Me


How much molten must be lust, that lures to melt Me


Torn between the void of empty spaces and faces


How much deeper must my love be to love once again! 

WAITING FOR THE WORMS


Alone and dead; rotting by the road



No shroud to cover my face of disgrace 



No cloth to cover my mottled flesh of existence



No one to cry; no one to bury my lifeless corpse



Dead but waiting! Waiting for the worms!

LIVID SEPARATION


Vivid are those memories, frozen in time


Livid is the pain; Oh beloved of mine!  


Our broken hearts bleed in misery


 While our souls writhe in agony


I have tasted the rotten flesh of death and digested it


But is it not sweeter than this separation!


Oh Love of my life! 


In this war of love against love!


Don’t lose hope!  Breathe on!               

WITHOUT YOU


Oh beloved of mine! What has become of you!


When I was lost and lonely and broken hearted you gifted me wings of love      


With a soothing heart you made me fly;


But was all this love of ours born only to be crucified?  


Now that the nails dig into my rotting flesh


Don’t you feel the pain too?


You have kindled the fire of love in my soul


But don’t you too the feel the heat when my heart is burning?   


Now in this living hell of life


What will I do without you!


Oh beloved of mine! What will I do?  

VENOMOUS WINE OF ATTACHMENT


Drinking from the foamy cup of evanescent life


The venomous wine of attachment!


How sweet is the taste of the luring sip?


How sweet is its first after taste! 



Yet with every gulp after; every gulp your crave


As the stealth of the venom blinds your heart, and cripples your soul  


Pangs of suffering choke your mind!


Oh drunken soul of mine!     


How intoxicated have I become!
          
          
Intoxicated I am in fear and love


Intoxicated I am in passion


Intoxicated I am in sensual pleasure


Intoxicated I am in experience


Tell me, oh drunken soul of mine


If existence is merely a vivid dream


What more can be of mere experience?


MORNING SUNSHINE SPEAKS


Hiding in the cave of darkness, fearing the monstrous face of death


Will I ever see beauty of the garden of life!


Clinging to the sinking boat, lusting for life


Will I not see the pearls of beauty in the ocean of death?


Lost in some sentient dream of so called experience


Not knowing, life, death or eternity! 


Oh lost soul of mine!


Let the morning sunshine speak!
















CLOUDLESS DEATH


In the vast expanse of the cloudless sky



The waning moon finally rises!



As the silent fragrance of my imminent death, fills the darkness of this fatal night



My thoughtless mind sinks in sentient harmony!



My craving soul drowns in emptiness; and my bonded heart ceases to beat!



Oh eternal bliss of death! Let me welcome thee! 

COLD WIND SMOKE


Like smoke, like dust



Like dew drops and mist



I come; I go



Don’t last long, like the summer snow



Gone with the wind!  As the cold wind blows



Nothing lasts! Nothing more!

THE LONG SUMMER WAIT


The long summer is over and the rains have begun


The grass has grown and the sky is bluer


But still, I sit alone and wait for you


My eyes are dreary and my heart is growing weak


My wanton mind can still hear you speak

                                                           
Oh beautiful eyes,  glowing with love


Will you come back to me?

LIGHTNING MOSS


Moss grows but on a rotting bark



While the rolling rock is forever free



Let lightning strike when the moment lasts



Let the silent mind be free !
