Love Explicitly Sublime*

The wind instructs the trees to belly-dance
While swirling clouds admire the view
The flowers marinate the butterflies
With dust and dew
And two romancing swans
Appear to lose the sense of time
That's love: explicitly sublime

Your body touches mine
As passion lures us to embrace
And as we do, our souls
Transcend and dance without a care
Like waltzing pixies in the air
In harmony, like poetry:
They rhyme.
That's love: explicitly sublime

Alluring Bewitching Courageous*

A midst a luscious forest
B eyond the ragged plains
C aressed by misty moonlight
D ecorated with pearls of rain
E rupts a mighty maiden
F earless yet delightful
G raceful and divine

H onoured by the lightening
I gnited in the furious sky
J asmine admixes her aroma
K aleidoscopes are her eyes
L aced in her curls is the night
M ystic rubies are her lips
N ature is her mentor

O rion is her hero
P andora's Box is her anger
Q uaint is her smile
R evered by the ocean
S erenaded by the sunset
T eeming with desire and
U ndying quest for the truth

V ictory is her game
Warriors salute this Princess
X ena! They hail her name...forever
Y et she yearns for
Z estful kisses from a lover

I Choose To Be Happy

I choose to be a happy soul
To fill my heart with smiles
I opt for joy to be my goal
And glee to be my style

And even chores that need be done
I savour serving them
Amidst the grind I find some fun
I laugh, therefore I am!

When work is done I sing away
And give my dreams a chance
The child inside me wants to play
I let him out and dance

I choose to be a cheerful soul
To spread my love and smiles
And help my dear ones reach their goals
That makes my life worthwhile

You Are Beautiful

You
Your whole
And all your parts
Are beautiful

You
When calm
And when enraged
Are beautiful

You
Your face, your hair
The thoughts you share
Your heart - its every beat
Your hands, your feet
Are beautiful

You
When real
Or in a dream
Are beautiful

Sweet Meditation

Encapsulate
your thoughts
in
a
spec
of light
and let it levitate.

Just
meditate
Don't hesitate,
procrastinate
or let chaos dominate.

Listen
to the melodies
of silence.
Smell
the perfume
of void.
Taste
the spiciness
of calm.

Dispose
of hate.
Let love proliferate.
Don't wait
for joy
to come
along.
Just meditate!
