you left prematurely
anticipating a miracle
the moment you left
a miracle appeared
upon it a signature
of the soul you doubted
sincere ones are rare
only leave if you dare

If You’d Stay
she purposely said
what you did not want her to say
in order to see
if you would actually stay
Irrevocable Loyalty
when logic reigned
loyalty became questionable
when heart reigned
loyalty became irrevocable
why this disloyalty
to the one your soul
pledged loyalty to

Disconnect to Reconnect
these dots connected
then disconnected
to reconnect
on a higher plane
through spirit
our essence
us
we
these centrifugal circles
forming light circuits
where hearts spin
in ecstatic dance
a heavenly trance
this order secret
it’s centre our guide
like constellations
we immerse in your light
none but you
none but you
The Scroll and The Script
a fire burns within
yet i am forced to be water
wind takes me in her arms
i wish to be earth
as i write
I ask myself
is this real
are we real
the scroll
and the script
recorded within
encoded into our deepest reality
i don’t know how
i don’t know when
when i’ll see your eyes again
when our eyes will meet again
Banish Me from Paradise Eternally
you became the worship
you became the sin
you became the worship
in every prostration
none but you
my only sin
love
what crime was her crime
except to love
if this love isn’t real
banish me from paradise
eternally
This Moment
I sifted through my past and only remember love and joy
Stress was diminished when I stopped worrying about tomorrow
I AM my future
based on who I AM
this moment
Quintessentially Art and Artist
Art as we know is quintessentially art and artist.
Art as we know is not to be judged nor in need of validation.
Art as we know is an outpouring from infinite intelligence, if real.
Art as Monet reminds us is not an act of pretending to understand when all we have to do is love.
Art as we know brings out our truth and shadows.
Art as we know illuminates the world.
Art as we know is not to be grasped literally and if so, desecrated.
Art as we know is both soul and spirit fused. Art as we know is you and i.
Art as we know is to raise the consciousness of humanity and our lack of receptivity is a reflection of our very resistance.
So the same name we use, art appreciation, to express our world view means, art is art and not subject to your like and fancy.
Art as we know is testing your appreciation at its core.
Art as we know arrives to open your heart to all that you selectively and secretly detest.
Exaggerated Piety
remove your garments
of exaggerated piety
throw your rosary into the fire
of no use these holy words
teary eyes or lengthy worship
