Slave to my desires ~ sub to passion and intensity ~ slut to He that ignites that fire within me...

Love whispers in my ear.. 'Better to be a prey than a hunter.Make yourself my fool. Stop trying to be the sun and become a speck.Dwell at my door and be homeless.. Don't pretend to be a candle, be a moth, so you may taste the savor of life and know the power hidden in serving..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

to feed the need ~

to feed the need to seed
an echo which upon an unknown date
in turn may stimulate discovery
of what once known ~ unlocking open gate
calling upon the inner eye to see...
the need that tames the flames of inner fire
to seed ten thousand ripples, maybe more,
desire to feed the furnace of desire
from doom creating more than bloomed before.

Sisal ~ The candle that came and consumed me, about whose flame the universe flutters in total confusion

~Plunge boldly into the beyond then be free wherever you are

WIll you cater to every fantasy i got.. will you hose me down with holy water if i get to hot... can you take me places i've never known?

The world's phenomena and life's essence Are all a dream,a fancy and a moments deception.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Plunge me deep in love -- put out My senses, leave me deaf and blind, Swept by the tempest of your love, A taper in a rushing wind.~

Poised, no longer settled you wait as every part of you sheds what once was,and is no longer necessary. Close to shore you prepare.And what will it cost you? And what is this haunting and wild, now still in your throat, now trembling Set it free whatever it may cost you set it free ~ unk.

Her gaze forever blocked by bars, is so exhausted it takes in nothing else.
All that exists for her are a thousand bars.
Beyond the thousand bars no world.
 
The strong supple pacing moves in narrowing circles.
It is a dance at whose center a great will is imprisoned
 
Now and again the veil over her pupils silently lifts.
An image enters,
pierces the numbness
and dies away in her heart. ~ 
  Then came Freedom ~ Forevermore

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thy Beloved is so sweet, so sweet, " they repeat;

I show them the scars where His cane thrashed me.

"Thy Beloved is terrible, a maniac." they wail;

I show them my eyes, melting in His tender passion. ~

Lotus Ki

lotus petals dance 
across the sky leaving 
traces on the ground

footprint paths to Bodhi
the white, the womb
of the earth

sweet red lotus of passion, 
love - hrdaya’s fire
heart’s child

wisdom’s Ki
blue’s gentle glove
never opened, never closed

mystic lotus in full bloom
or purple bud holds 
secret heart

Buddha’s flower, Pink 
presumes highest honors --
The sacred one 

lotus blossoms, the living 
tree, the spirit thrives
upon the trail...
