God knows

I love you so much

How can one long for your touch

To know you

And appreciate you

All of you

All of the time

Perhaps

My creator

Can do me a lasting favor

And grant me a mercy

To love the most high

As much as I love you.

The love of my life

The love of my life left me

I suppose it was all of her

And none of me

I replant my garden today

Hoping that it will grow
More flowers, buds

Nectar for the bees

The love of my life

Was right to follow

Her dreams

And I sit here

Planting flowers

Hoping they will sprout

Newness

Resolve

Happiness

Even in the winter months

The love of my life reminded

Me with one letter

Look for me inside

I will always be there

The love of my life is in me

And it can only ever be so

How can I divorce myself

From myself

My left hand and right hand

Begin to plant

And anticipate

The lonely

Orchid

Which blooms every year

Knowing

That it too

Must dwell

In sunlit.

Towards my twin flame

When I'm one with you

All pain goes away

It is the power

Of incomplete judgement

That never finishes its final thought

Or begins a new one

Toward the pretense

That separateness exists

It is in this unity

Of understanding

I find my eternal home.

The moment we all started

When the Phoenix falls

Ashes bawl

From the eyes

Of all doves

When the ashes are sparked

There comes rebirth

In the form of all stars

Meet with me here

There are no enemies

With a soul

Which is one

Ignite

Allow the fire

Fusion

And fission

To start

Burn and Churn

Linking Suns

Wild guesses to where we will arrive

Or just how much we will find

Uncovered in each others plunge

Perhaps we will discover what we always knew

From the moment we first begun.

Universal trust

I just want you happy

You deserve it to be

I feel I can make it hard

Because I turn like the sea

And you like the shore

Stay relevant with ease

At times I feel all emotions

Toss and turn inside me

It takes a stable soul

To conquer this spree

That is wild like the tempest

With calm air inside free

And the pressure

The force

I won't let it be

If its from my far coast

Send Fourth the Command

Tell the weather to cease

Redirect the storm

If it means you some harm

Or is blowing your windows shut

Tearing at your palms

I've tried to master fate

I've tried to master love

I am a slave to a process

That only the universe trusts.

I could wake up to your essence
Each day of my life

Beyond any judgement
I find where true love lives
In the heart, in the eyes

It doesn't just lay at the feet
Trodden by the beloved

Although gladly it would worship
The feet that graces it's touch

It is found when we are miles away
Yet I still wake to your spirit

As if by bedside
And close to me you stay

No matter what
You may always be around

There is a joy in this mystical union
That words can never sound.

A simple kind of Love

I still drink your taste
And swallow parts of you

In the desert hot sands
They refresh me like new

And I think you of all understand

The joy that spins upon the horizons hues

That's why we can laugh and give our thanks too

We can explore endless worlds
And always rely true

On the beloved in each
My name is yours too

I never revealed a fact that all still dispute

Yes we all are one
Most evident proof

In the way we both think
Of clever slight moves

That relay a true love
The kind children use

To show the world
The simple act love

Is so very plain
In hidden sight

So below
And above.

The soul, the fire of man

Heart raises and rises
Through the endless
Indian Summers

Come back to a pulse
Like the undead rediscovered

They say that Christ raised
And that with God are the dead

We're lost in leaflets
And passion with spreads

Like toxic flame
We submit from our chains

Until we are lifted again
As mortal pulse bends

To a near miss

And we rise
Towards the sky
Endless Phoenix wish

To fly amongst eagles
To partake in free bliss

Love of no description
No scribe can make

Serve the worth of skies
Or wait the while that exists

Passion that riles the vain
We pursue

And allow it to remake
All that we know
Make all that is new

Like happiness
To the final line

A smile
Quiet solitude
An indians short prize

The land consumes
So do we all

Keeping poise intertwined
Yeah we do all preserve

And we all often transpire
And strive towards the unheard
Righteously pressed for a timeless lit world

Blood stains the ground
Yet still a light in man

The quietude is revealed
After the thousandth lifespan

What can man offer
The kingdoms of old

Compared to God's inspiration
Of a soul and it's warmth.

Rebirth

Remind me
That love exists
That it is a miracle
To be taken
As the greatest
Of Gods gifts

To treat it kindly
As a sweet rose
Not too harsh
With water
Enough Sun
To let it grow

With gloves
Tend to the thorns
That will draw blood
If taken by surprise

But with grace
Enough to lighten my heart
Free my soul and my mind

Tend to my soul
As if it was the last rose
To exist upon the Earth
And I will tend to your garden
Like the bee pollinating new birth.

Sealed Fate

What would it be like

To kiss those lips

That seal my fate

That leave me dead

What would it take

For torturous life to end

To leave me awakened

After silence sheds

What would it be like

To be happy just one day

With you within my heart

With you within my arms

Would it last, Just as long

As the lifetime of Divine Mothers' grace

Safely tucked away from all of life's trouble

From all of life's displeasing harms

I am a adventures man

I have taken bouts

Lonesome trips

Sailed my boat against currents

Purposely got lost

But why is it the fear

That trembles me most dear

Is the one owned by your beauty

And your gracious eyes so clear

Perhaps I am a coward

And cannot muster sound

Perhaps one day I'll know those lips

And feet will never touch the ground.

Divinities Oneness

I am succumbed to the Phoenix fires

Take it all

Does anything exist

Outside of your call?

My soul draws

And is consumed

Used by you

Have you unlocked

Something

Others only searched for?

They once thought they knew

Across desert sands

And lost with time

The arcane secrets

Of love

Given to only those

Who enjoy

Sips of life's Wine

Surely

It is all there hidden

All in one

And Divine.

Spending of Divine Grace, Such Wealth

I'm not sure
To my very core
Where it all fits

Why we are outfitted
With subtle pain
That can make a winters
Kiss feel warm

A pain that can cause
Torrential droughts
And down pours
To feel like reality rifts

Why
Does God
In perfect thought
And home
Have to choose
The very thing which exists

To teach us wrongs
Or use our scorn
In battles of gracious wit

I could reply
To my creators eye
A curse on all you sit

But I've been that road
And before I'm old
A friend of cosmic essence
I dare and will behold

Perhaps the mercy that I've heard of
Will be equipped upon my pen
Perhaps it is the one grace
Given me
The one in which I'll spend.

Father - Mother - Birther of the Cosmos

In the clandestine
Of your orchestra
One segment soul sings
Lifts my longing to know you more
For it is the only relief that is king

If my mother would grant me
The gift of her daughter soul
Would my presence be able to withstand
All the blessings that she holds?

There is just one look she passed down to me
The queen to her daughter told
It is with your heart you will smile at him
It is with your heart and soul

And my father told me listen
With the eyes and yes the heart
You will know exactly what to say
With truth you will win her heart

And perhaps one day
You will understand
That we make our way
And do withstand

Becoming the cosmic of your own
And then too if life sees it fit
Through knowledge you will expand.

The Highest Princess

You wander between
The viaducts of my dreams
And I see the true you
That not all can see
And I appreciate
The gift
That you are to me
Is it possible to know
A love
Another
So intimately?

I see you
In such light
And clarity
Even
I feel
The universe
Can fault
And place
It's envy on me

We are child like
In an adult world
Blessed with a knowledge
Learned through lifetimes I'm sure
And I say to the highest good
How oh life
Can the highest princess
Be adorned
Does the highest prince
Have to lay
By her feet
His cross and his sword?

And I know you deserve more
The happiness of scores
And the councils of cosmic fate
Advise me I'm wrong
To keep you in wait
Like the knocks upon doors
When we've lied in wait
And died each day before.

If my beloved did not exist

If my beloved did not exist
Who would the flowers be pollinated
And bloom for?

Would the wind care
To breeze by
And carry secret
Messages of loves'
Fragrance
Upon its arm?

Would the Sun shine
Half as bright
Even send a glimmer
A ray
One hope of light?

If my beloved
Did not appear

Would the Earth
Have a purpose
To its tilt
It's turn

Would the moon
Try and stay afloat
Would all other lovers yearn?

For in loves majesty
Do not all feel the harm?

When one is without their beloved
Do not all seek to mend the bond?

Befriending light

My best friend
I've lent you my pen
I've wandered the stars with you
We've journeyed back again

We've shared airwaves
And proved magic was there
We've opened vaults
And laughed at kings
And cried with those who need more

We've knocked at each others hearts
Even waited by the door
And scribed all the while
And learned about the island
Consciousness

All while holding a smile
Through the tough and the wild

My best
Dear friend
I may not be the easiest
To stick by or to contend

But I promise
I'll bring
Something more
To adventure with

For if your joy fills your eyes
And light enters in
It may favor me too
And consider me then.

Solomon's song to Queen Sheba

Whenever

If ever

You choose

To fall

In love

You can

Like the Phoenix

Of egyptian desserts

Rise from the south

Fly north towards expanse

When you choose

To allow

Surrender

To come

A portal appears

And transports all

Knowledge

To a library on the banks

A fire may burn it to the ground

But with the years

Like each morning song to Ra

It is remembered

Eternally sang

The moment

One chooses

Life and death

In love

Rebirth

And ashes

Flames

And floods

Will issue from the land

Laugh a little

And think with love

There must be a worth more

As the souls' enhanced

Whenever you think thoughts of home

Think closest with your hand

Upon the chest

Of the heart

There must be a kingdom too

Within each man

If ever the heavens call to you

Thank all the moments that were planned

It brought you here

It will take you back

Taking guidance from our wishes

But as we go

It may never commit to our commands

Together

Salvation is worked out by each

And washed away

Like the waves upon the sand

You may dispose too of this kindred song

As long as you advance.
