I Don’t Know Your Name

I don’t know your name

It left me

And I’m without it now

Wishing I knew it

Hungry to speak

And give life

To the fluttering sensations

That drift upon the wind.

You are far away

But if I yet knew your name

I would speak it

Aloud and unwavering

Conjuring up

Through mercurial wonder

All that marks the traveler

Like rain,

Riding the back of thunder

To let you fall before me

That I should meet those eyes

With a kiss

Upon Emerging

Upon emerging from the desert

Did you immediately move through lands

To open men’s sight through fire

And sting their eyes with sands,

If they refused or failed

To see the splendor of your beauty

And give homage to the divine

That lies within your soul?

That you ask for courage to love thee

Is what I expect to feel

Allowing no man your heart

Lest he is capable

To be of the chosen few

Wiling to burn away ego completely

From the passion of having loved you

Making Love

Let flow my vitality

Through and with

The ever moving current

Like a stream before dawn

Birthed from the source

Of the ever living

Never gone

Together lifting

Bodies through soul

This river moving

Flowing through sands

And sifting past time.

Let me flow into you

The ocean of life

Surrender me to your depths

Welcome my current

Let it penetrate and suffuse

And make us free

The ocean in one river

And the river in one sea

Intoxications

What’s this I’m tasting,

Your lips?

Yes,

And more

Something else,

Something I can sense

But not discern;

Something extraordinary

But it won’t be clear

Something I notice but can’t see:

Dimly lit upon the senses,

Inebriated through flooding,

Intoxicated to the limit,

Boiled over and dulled

From a point to a plateau.

I am chasing the source

I am boxing you up

I am trying to comprehend,

But you are endless.

Divine Beauty Please Guide Me

Will the Divine

Guide me across this landscape

The sun barren desert

Parched thirsting for essence

Emanating lights in the distance

Something I’m headed to

Eternity stops in your presence

It comes to an end with you

Time Lapse Frozen

Paradise unmoving

Time lapse frozen

Stillness silencing

And the midnight moon

Your essences exhaling

Birthed from the quieting

Of a mind’s grievances

Surrendered of thinking

Peaceful dispositions

Sent away in love

Blessed in accent

Kissed without motion

The aura of your beauty

Quieting the surroundings

Called in to stillness

At peace from longing

Worship

I will not turn you into God,

But I will worship the divine in you;

Since you are the expression of it,

I worship you,

As the Divine expression

Of all that it is;

The essence of beauty,

Of awe and wonder,

Truth and serenity
