Soul Birds

.
Alas! the heart of the burning lover suffers in toil
yearning the beloved in reunion a fragment of his whole

as Raging flames burn in the heart a yearning to be free
parting from the soil though, is no freedom for the tree

only love seeks freedom in bondage with the lover
flames of the soul ignite the fire in each of the other

As 2 flames grow with the power of one spark
blazing fires come alive from the union of their heart

nomads of the spirit oblivious to the power they yield
where scorching fires fury find no rest in barren fields

like the story of the tormented Crow who in separation
sought proximity to his lord; this wayward prodigal raven

A scornful Raven, the blackest of all remorseful creatures
observes the flighty pigeons what free spirited resourceful teachers!

how they gather in flocks around sacred shrines and holy sites
how should I congregate with these free pigeons of light?

these saintly birds singing praises that raise blessings in the air
my awkward pose and presence, how can I possibly compare

he weeps bitterly and ashamed; his cloak he cannot cover
how to face his creator before of such 'light winged' lovers?

the sorrowful crow asks his pardon on entering the congregation
birds of mercy in servitude yet free from chains of deviation

all heavenly gates are open to His amnesty and compassion
even the blackest Raven can return to him in his own peculiar fashion

as love is shelter to homeless souls and lovers kept apart
the beloved is the ocean reaching out to each creatures heart

Indeed it's life's greatest pleasure to travel this familiar path
and seek that hidden treasure that radiates each awakened heart

with lofty signs in greater measure;
from distant lands to worlds apart;
kindred spirits storm the weather;
Soul birds of a feather will always flock together...

The Heart
 expands and inflates
 exhaling
 silent vapors
 and soft emanations
 balancing
 emotionally sustaining
 guiding insights
 to subtle revelations

 The Mind
 uplifts
or in darkness abases
 destroys or creates
 reduces or raises
 free thought
 or mental stasis
 ideas processed
and translated
 well computed
 or miscalculated
 the thoughts
we choose to chase
 are divinely inspired
 or painfully ill-fated.

In Love..."Love and prayer are the same as far as their inner workings are concerned; In love you become one with a single individual, and in prayer you become one with the whole cosmos."
Yasmine Fatemi

...In death“There are two deaths known to man; the lesser and the greater. The death of the body and the death by initiation; and of the two the death of the body is the lesser. To give yourself to the Goddess is to die, for she takes you.” Chaldean Oracles

Rhetorical Alchemy

.
have you ever wondered what words were for
why they were invented
were they intended for more?
if it were not for the glorious stories that were related
our past would be fragmented
as images lost in the fabric of space, dispersed and dissipated
transcendental tales of legends and lore
unrehearsed verses to which saints lamented
and psalms that we adore bringing calmness to our senses
in the presence of such words even sinners repented
through intense rhetorical words
with a single sentence, all great wars could have been prevented
if raw and broken words had not been spoken
to provoke and reward the herds
a universal stronghold controlling the commotion!
repeating mantras using fear-based terms
a brazen cerebral invasion, it's insane the way it works!
becomes a powerful poison when intended
be cautious of your incantations
expressing anger and wrestling with words of rage in lower degrees
woe to those aggressive messages sent
evoking festering invocations and despondent sensitivities
corrosive emotional explosions feeds the Trojan temperament
as words in spells and evocations
can take effect and change a tragic situation
to create a new reality
far from calamity
or social exploitation
away from the vanity
of crazed and inflamed nations and profanity;
resentful intentions, so distant from humanity
this danger can be conquered by the intelligent,
the awakened patient heart centered ranger
and lessons that a lifetime spent
to learn, can strangely be conceived in a moment,
if you can open your ocean of compassion
and connect; to your own guiding component
ponder on it and explore; the inner vibration
it's esoteric station
the quintessential spark that connects us to it's core
resonating translations of it's presence so pure;
you'll start to comprehend for sure
how our words and thoughts are tested
and through the choice of words invested
our destined worlds are manifested

Mystical Circles

Mystic dervish whirling,

like the quickening of time

his woven skirt in orbit, swirling,

unraveling of signs;

sacred circles changing sides

in cycles of circular moments

shifting eclipses tuning the tides

to a higher celestial ocean

A dervish in worship yearning,

O' servant returning to light

your spirit stands firmly in prayer; burning

through the never-ending night

as knowledge embraces inspiration

drinking nectar for the soul

a gently melting transformation

O' tender mental-sentient whole

evoking thoughts from pure devotion

opens doors to inner sight

a trance-expansive mind explosion

O' trancendental guiding light

lose all worldly chains and traces

embrace the flighty realms and find

the dual world of hidden places

rightly guided yet tightly entwined

climb the vine to fleeting heights

as gliding kites; far reaching find;

fibers of dark and light entangled

upwardly winding like cycles of time

let go of your worldly burdens

and journey to the sky

you'll only be turning in circles

if your heart is not willing to fly.

O Whirling dervish Sufi saint

your transcendental flight

within your self annihilate

your lamp will brighten nights

the flow of rhythmic spinning rises

reaching heights when tuned in right;

in cycles moon and Stars sing praises

in ecstasy he takes his flight!

Ya Lateef!

A Diva called Salvia

In the trails of your persecution
I reign the fragments of my darkest shards
your strange caress leaves a taste of bitter sweet
I am anointed with your spirit
and embodied
in the mental temple of your amnesty
my mind in exile within it's kaleidoscope lens
I am wounded with the beauty of it's divination
the incense of my 'self' burns silently
it's fragrance now faded smokey scrolls
leaving traces of dust
the soil of my soul
where you have planted your seed
it grows in my core
into the vine of my soul~

Subtle Connections

.

As Celestial monads gather on the eve of this epoch
destiny has entwined us in our purpose

seek amnesty in the synchronized path and align thy soul
as the hour of timelessness approaches
the pulse of the cosmic clock
beats consciously and aware of its destination
A reality that expands and contracts in accordance to thy awareness
and thy ability to envision beyond thy limitations to infinite change
initiate in thee as the sun aligns with his lunar confidant
as day becomes night, a moment never lasting and eternally lost, yet reborn over and again
where sun and moon appear to become as one passing each other
such moments are but grand and glorious, leaving trails behind in their emergence..

Insane Twin Flames

Mirror of one soul
burn a whole in my heart
2 parts of a divided whole
never too far apart

Soul of my polar essence
present your sole design
ever aware of your solar presence
I follow your lessons and signs

Twin-self; split spark of my creation
one heart with secrets told
2 parts paths embracing
only soul solely borne from one mold

Perfect lovers searching; 2 fires burn
one heart to learn our destiny
star crossed a sacred yearning, turns
to One love to set us free

2 paths to one destination
One heart to find our way
One dream both lovers are chasing
a longing to be ONE one day

Twin souls entwined
one lone spirit guider
one lonely twisted vine
wraps around it's missing reminder

remain in time as our fierce fire raises
purifies, cascading flames insane lovers in waves
frenzied arise, beckoning phases
our yearning burns; passion returning never fades

as loners going home, thrown into the throne
of our heart growing whole as One
Venus and Mars; the Sky and the Earth - only alone
all-one in sync like Moon and Sun

musical notes in tone to our lovers song
discover our tune and reunite
in a field outside of right and wrong
where fires glow and sparks ignite

where flocks of souls that seek their hearts
could melt into a fleet of flamed emotion
if lost at sea or in worlds apart;
they'll drown in the same lovers ocean

DiVine Diaspora

She blew my mind.
I'm mesmerized and entwined;

entangled within the nexus; a green dream
I'm lost whenever I'm seen

l slumber now, nothing can disturb
me, I'm sinking much deeper into the absurd

sentenced by healers to drift far away
my body is starting to fray, I Pray

I can hold it together, some way
I vaporize, I scintillate; just spray

me, I'm a genie in a bottle, for a day
dream, and so I drift, I play

only this moment I fly, I'm high in the sky
pieces of me, I am a whirlwind, a twister; I am the eagles eye

The poppies like drops of ink spilling; it's colors flood
into the fields of green like tears of Red blood

"I am the silent fragrance; I am not seen or heard
spray me and I will dissipate without a word"

she transports me to a different space
A childhood flashback to a place

where nothing is quite what it seems
entangled within this curious scene

I'm feeling tired, I'm wasted and ill
I'm sitting here perfectly still

Blow me away, diVine diaspora;
pieces of me in exile all over the floor

the wind sweeps up the dust of my soul
a pile of me, now falling down a hole

then I simply liquify; a nectar of love am I
become the tears that angels cry

falling droplet part of the cosmic ocean
moving planets into motion, with this alchemical potion

of Love; trance-form, it's all of what we are
connects us all to each and every celestial body and star
even a nebula;
started off as a spark
of elan vital; a force of light in the dark

after she bursts into colours of light
in darkest moments of the night

and distant corners
of the cosmic arenas

and flows through the most important part
of every living creatures heart

and why we cross each others paths there's a reason
each soul reunion has its season

we are entangled souls in earthy design
filaments woven in the fabric of time

just open your mind and a become another part
of you, and be guided through the heart

from Worlds asunder, and the underworlds
to heavens gates of rubies and pearls

this healer shows me how to die
then look at life through my inner eye

to see the light I need the darkness
if only for the smallest spark

of light to see the night
to glimpse those gems kept safely out of sight

in the secret cavern in my heart
where fires of creation kindle; and start

to dwindle out of sight, if not
inspired with the spark of what we forgot

ignite the love light
makes it easy to surrender

instead of fight, just take the flight
just befriend her, and remember

if you can give up your will, you'll find the real thrill
and breathe in you- the moment, you will;

feel alive; get your fill
and thanks to her kindness and skill;

with her consent
we can experiment,

further still...

Tender Rhapsody

On the eve of an epoch, the turn of the tide
the last fragile leaves let go of their vital cleavage
as winds of change embody transitory realms
your root still firm in it's earthy grave;

Sombre memory you linger until found, unrelenting
withdraw your seed and deliver chaste, immaculate;
through the light of your heart,
your evanescent lamp extinguished at your Dawn!

Oh divine Master! I seek not
to be forgiven as to forgive
to be elevated as to elevate
to be understood as to understand
to be loved as to love;

In your soul find a mirror of your perfect self
fill the cosmic cup with Lovers wine;
exalt in your elixir of yearning
In the death of thy self be ye borne to eternal life!


Triumphant is the great dawn;
Lofty is thy light!

Awakening

Auburn sunset and misty mountain scents
heat around my collar
I flick the fan it breathes soft breezes
sands of time pour in sync with cosmic rhythms

debauchered faces under stiff hats scurry hurry
emptied their pockets in infrared zones
under the light of day they mask paradigms
disconnect from the symphony of sound waves
ever-changing,
lifeless corpse; hurry you've lost your place in line

under enchanted veils separating layers that cover deeper
a doorway resides to infinite possibilities
unlock it with thy solar key
in the belly of the beast igniting flames torment -wrath
the freeman surfs its ebbing and flowing; experience the universal ocean

the serpent of fire awakens unwinding its will
the fluid element dampens its swelling fury
the glorious fountain escapes its source into rainbow inspiration
where dormant matter once lay, hiding in caverns of twisted antiquity

Duality fades reshaping the aura of future templates
phased by moons that move in mystical cycles around the creative mother
from her breasts flow fourth the rivers of nourishment
pregnant with the fruits of abundance and proof
as celestial bodies gather in celebration
the joyful waltz instep with her orbital lunar partner

expanding mother bears her progeny, spilling out vibrations of numeric values and symmetry; speaking holographic tongue
embraces eternities of mirror realms

In agonizing battle with time and space the animus resists;
shifting realities, the quickening catches up with what will be
frenzied haste as flocks of crowds like raven scatter across the lands looking for booty
the rope is severed, you grab it instinctively in vain for it's promise.

learn to fly...

Mindfields

In the prairies of the mind
midst mind fields of transcendental tapestry
tyrants hover in shade unforgiven
the cerebral host spills its burden

Spent abstractions strangled, exhausted- nebulize
move across eons of dense narrow corridors
embedded fossils of thought artifacts from ancient origin
stale rituals cloud the virtuous arena

wandering thought seep through the colander
of my psyche,
beveled stars in nocturnal wakefulness envelope
fragile memories;
passing in and out of vision fading
lamenting fragments say their last farewell


I cradle the flickering flame till it burns silent
quenching spirit with it's essence
dive into the fragrant nectar of remembrance
i emerge in embryonic parchment, shining
naked fetus floating in thine cosmic womb;

oh heavenly nymph! radiate your musk scented virtues
adjust your saffron robes in steady worship
hypnotic filaments of opulescent aura woven in clockwise syncronicity
capricious fractals burst into prismatic hues
whirling mystical dervishes of the mind; Love centered

Drown in your fluid melody; emerge, unassuming, whole
within the throne of thine heart
its undying ray beams while the last forgotten deeds
meander through passageways seeking sanctuary in archives of aether
Oh Tabular rassa!

In the prairies of my mind "there is a field beyond reason, I will meet you there"

Epiphany of an epoch

Deep as oceans of tears wept for millennia
wayward as heather dancing gracefully through circumbulating winds
delicate buoyant vessel floating, drifting into the cosmic lullaby
encapsulated splendor inside the chrysalis, she stirs

quintessential source cocooned in tactile armour, she awakens,
immune to her fickle entropic companion
beyond captivating forgetfulness, she emerges
delight in the ecstasy of reunion, thou hath glimpsed the beloved

cast off thy alluring shield of mortal restraint
inhale the scent sweeter then lovers reconcile
wings rewoven from consciousness aroused; surrender!
lofty moment exalted in glory and majestic presence
oh earthly aspiration! take thy place in the domain of Avatar

uncloak the hidden psalm and echo its chant
unveil the unseen paragon and delight in it's sublimation
thy mind hath wooden legs, thy heart hath wings
take flight into thy native crux! the tide be nigh

Metamorphosis

Behold the choir of the nightingales
melancholy hymns penetrate celestial dwellings
lost parables come to life, lo turbulent reign
perpetual tune sorrowful song!

scornful arrows shot through oblivious sentiment
vanquish the illusion of kismet, trickster!
empty thy reservoir of toxic vanity
Submerge thy core, Incandescent luminous zeal!


O brilliant word permeate thy divine substance
liberate thy reserve, squander thy idle affliction
abolish thy suffered grievance!
slay thy solar dragon; rebellious rogue

exhilarating rapture! reclaim thy sovereign influence
O brilliant vitality, unbind thy fruitless chains
thy futile barren abstraction, wanton scheme!
disrobe thy sinister mantle and enter thy bountiful garden!

Soulful Soil

Alabaster cubes adorned with cobalt earthen domes muddle haphazardly
around dusty hilltops sun dried, parched;
The vibrant nocturnal carnival of life and colour spill from its tumultuous Mediterranean palette
Dreary donkeys struggle their burdensome load, a rugged arduous mount


Spicy aromas tantalize passing wayfarers bustling the byzantine bazaars;
smoke breathing serpents passed in circles,
amused sun-kissed Berbers inhale its rich fruity vapours
kinsmen exchange word and embrace in ageless mores


Noble minarets stand vertical resonating names of his glory and authority
Azure enchanting sky beckons stars then unfolds its hermetic cloak
caravans sojourn in lunar mystique soaking in its luminous rays
all earthly tempo absorbed in its moment


Swept away by magical threads into esoteric palaces of eastern lore
fiery companions tempt destiny to alter states;
I slumber in colloquial poppy fields and listen to their fragrant tales
as the restless desert uncloaks its mystical delights


Dancing winds sweep and gather the sands from timeless spheres and
vast terrain ushering in the wisdom of heavenly kingdoms
O threshold O heavenly gates! unravel thy secrets unleash thy prize;
O tempestuous Shirrocco deliver thy dawn, yield thy obsure mirage;
confess thy subtle revelation!


Passing hither and beyond earthy realms; dunes caress thy opulent wilderness,
the infinite sand surrenders time as it passes through its hourglass;
O Moorish solitude, enigmatic friend!
Drench me in thine auspicious presence; absorb me in thy genius

Oh sacred site, initiate me!

Nocturnal Exodus

The spirit of the Undine dances in undulating waters deep
reveals a secret promise when the foolish sleep

All living creatures strive to find a path to him
defying fiercely their own deluded whim

on moonless night be her powerful glow forlorn?
as the heedless sleep and the wise ones sojourn;

The ocean however renounces delusion, blossoms within her sight
alive to her nuances every single night

the lunar salutation from afar the ocean doth embrace
its luminous desire caress the tides glistening chase

Can ye weigh the moon or measure its majestic beam
fathom its undying virtues set fourth by its righteous gleam

can ye count the scintillating stars that hold her in place
or touch her glowing reflection and kiss her silvery face

and in the darkest lunar tides
her radiance she coquettishly hides

no seer can the secret tell
lest she becomes a fugitive from her own will

and thus to higher truths aspire
attaining all that she desires

from highest inspirations noble flame
ignites the lovers yearning and wanders into lonely terrain

it burns the wooden legs I bear
exchange the mortal garment that I wear

In boundless love I take my flight
with wings toward the beloveds kindled light

as flesh is partner to the soul
the soul is merely part of the sacred whole

if one drop of God's knowledge be yours
then the wisdom from uncharted shores

would be at thy attentive fingertips
such as tidings whispered from the beloveds lips

all creatures who surpass the night
grow wings and basque in higher heights

as Sylphs their flighty path they know
in fleets they come to overthrow

demons raised from underworlds
with kindred allies in celestial pearls

And those who crawl upon the earth
heedless to their own true worth

how many waste their idle lives until
they enter subtle realms subservient to his will

as dragons breathe their noble gases
their purifying vapours awaken the dying masses

the elven native has prepared
a garden for those whose task was shared

and from gates in heavenly tiers
a symphony for angelic ears

in vast hot deserts or deep cool oceans
the moon divides her bounties and destiny is set in motion

exhale, inhale her waning and waxing tides
through the ebbs and flows of the ocean her capricious nature she guides

oblivious it seems they tango in rhythmic flow
tempestuous winds of change their ecstatic tempo grows

in exodus as lovers outside of space and time
where souls gather and bathe in mercury wine

all creatures borne from earthy womb
abandon thy cage; forsake thy tomb!
