Our minds are music,
electric pulses and beats,
with the cadence of waves,
or the wind through the leaves.
Ephemeral thoughts,
glittering morning frost,
the more they glister,
the sooner they’re lost.

When hit by an arrow from Cupid,
you act extraordinarily stupid,
You lose your spine,
and lose your mind,
and the world you see isn’t lucid!

sun is dawning
and a new day forming
I see the brightness in the sky
let me hope this morning glory
swiftly brings me to my lover’s side

A love like ours
could have illuminated
eternal night skies.
Instead our tears
light up the firmament
and the stars burn our souls.

When you left,
you took us all with you,
the old, the young,
the Saints and the Sinners.
A gaping chasm,
left in your wake.
Three decades of grief,
the tides of loss,
your fall from grace,
as you plummeted us all,
into oblivion.
Yet – you shine brighter,
and more fierce,
than any star,
I’ve ever seen.

Meditation
In a grove, a daisy grows,
against all odds, between the crags,
in harshest winds, its body bends,
and in sun’s rays, its beauty plays.
Just like this, our heart should kiss,
sublime compassion, on the cushion,
let our mind dance with divine
integration through meditation.

Oh dear what can the matter be?
I let go of an old self view today,
It was there so long, it became just a habit to me,
I didn’t even know it was there.
First I kicked off my slippers, and took off my cardigan,
Removed my glasses, and put it on top of them,
Started to dance to the sound of five rhythms,
It felt like I floated on air!

I remember you…
Your tiny frame full of fearlessness,
teaching the universe,
the ways of the warrior

With tick after tock
as life leaves the clock,
time is ebbing away,
and tock before tick,
where time starts to slip,
reality shrouded in grey.
The pendulum swings
as the death knell rings
night bleeds into day,
as midnight chimes,
love’s sleep is sublime,
youth has out welcomed its stay.
