I am locked in a prison cell
And in the desperate depths of its darkness
I am slowly breaking down
Dying, until there is nothing more
Thank you !
It is from the fire of nothingness
That beautiful souls are forged
Souls that beget light upon light
A light that spreads through the worlds
How do I endure this journey?
The journey of dying to be born
With patience and surrender.
Patience and surrender.
It is time now
I open up my hands
and simply place my life into Yours
He created all the worlds
With a single gracious breath
A Word dripping with mercy
The Giver of Life!
Manifested everywhere
Greater in His beauty still
The reason I roam speechless
The One who captivates!
A burning thirst embedded
In the depths of every soul
Satisfied with nothing but
The most Perfect One!
The reason I dance in joy
The reason I feel this peace
The reason I love what’s His
My One everything!
Your heart is one so let your love be the same;
lest pure water is tainted by filth
And the Divine nectar of the sacred vessel
Is reduced to naught but poison drink
Let this sweetness fill your cup
Overflowing in tidal waves
Drowning the world and its people
So they may also feel true love
Love entrenched in another ground
Is nothing but a rootless tree
Unstable and frivolous
Blown away by the faintest breeze
Your heart yearns for Eternal Perfection
Yet you knock on tarnished doors
Let your seeking turn to rest
Fill your heart
With the sacred Presence
Of the Beloved One

The first manifestation
Was Majesty and Beauty
Masculine and Feminine
Return back to your Oneness
Sex, a sacred act
Illumination
Accept with quiet patience
Have faithful trust in the One
Illumination
Surrender yourself to Mercy
Receive a beautiful growth
Illumination
Surrender yourself to Life
Receive secrets from your Self
Illumination
Let your soul become a sail
Moved by the winds of Spirit

This is called the Katauta. Pretty easy if you want to try it! …. Off to work – Wishing you all a beautiful and blessed day (or night) 🙂
Don’t tell me who you are
Labels won’t take you far
He only looks at the heart
Let it be a shining star
The outward is where you start
Transcendence splits it apart
Beyond the shell you see all forms
Perceiving the whole made of parts
Most believe in the household norm
Yet all are faiths that weather storms
Divorce Maya and marry Truth
That is conversion that transforms!
All things but the heart is moot
He looks deep down to the roots
Whoever surrenders to the One
No matter the label, produces fruit
…..
This is my first interlocking rubaiyat. Hope you like it!!
The strongest of trees
Have roots entrenched in the ground
The power of faith
Brings beautiful growth
Root your being in belief
Strength and fruits will sprout
O’ child of Adam,
Soul marked with grace
You were created from love
That you must embrace
O’ child of Adam
Light of His splendid Face
Embrace your nature
Ascend to your rightful place
O’ child of Adam
Born from earth,
Light your path
And abode
O’ child of Adam
The breath of His soul
Born with purity
Let greatness unfold
O’ Child of Adam
With knowledge of names
Climb to humanity
Or fall down in blame
O’ Child of Adam
There are two ways to go
Up or down
Which will you choose?

Accept things with joyful smiles
Keys are forged in surrender
The ‘practice’, opening the door of hearts
The place of receiving
Receiving Grace
Waters the seed of Life
Bringing growth to your soul
And purifying the dirt inside
Soul alive
It slowly spreads
Become consumed
Radiate light and love
In quiet surrender
Keep receiving
Feel the Life
Inside your life
Its warm and quiet
alive and vibrant
It moves your being
Guiding you to life Divine
In still acceptance
No thoughts and want
You become a sacred vessel
Where He worships He
In surrender, dissolve in self
Do nothing but follow
Moved in loving worship
There are a thousand different ways
The deeper your surrender
The more life in your soul
In experience of infinite Reality
You pass stages of different sorts
I’m just a baby here
Grateful for my Life anew
What I thought was my soul
Was not that, not at all
The universe is filled with Art
Glowing suns, blue oceans, shining moons
But you, human being, are its masterpiece
On whom the Great Artist poured out His own soul
Coloured in Truth, Love, and Beauty
You are truly a spectacle to behold
Sculpted in perfect balance and harmony
The critic’s eye is taken aback and confused
He stares speechless
What’s drawing him in?
The mystery, there is art within the art
Its familiar and distant like a dream
Simply your presence
Moves him to tears and joy
Reminded of what he once was
And now hopeful of a return
Tell him imitation is not the answer
Half of beauty lies in being yourself
Replicas are cheap reflections
True human beings are priceless origin-als
Rejoice in gratitude
Your beauty is unmatched by the universe
Be the work of art you were created to be
Not the critic who has lost touch with his soul
