Missing

The grass is growing
Differently today
The air is rather still in a
Motionless array
The birds are very quiet in the sky
There’s not a lot of traffic
Driving by

The sun is pink and blue
Like a captain on a ship
The bowsprit of a unicorn
On a magic carpet trip
Flying by with wings

Is this reality
Or just another dream?

A swift illusion of the mind
Dancing through the winds of time
There is only one conclusion
My thoughts can seem to find

I must be thinking
Of you again
I must be missing you
My friend

I watch the clock

Fantasy in real-time
When I think of you
Memories of us
Flowers dancing in a group

Hand sewn tapestries we made
Fanning in the breeze
Promises to hold on
To each other endlessly

Deeper than just feeling
Friendship knit with grace
A cosmic love that’s so divine
The stars in outer space
Are bowing down

When we embrace

I miss your laugh
I miss your smile
I miss your face
And all the while

I must be thinking
Of you again
I must be missing you
My friend

Desi Love

A humble prince
A gorgeous spirit
A sovereign raajakumaar man
With open arms
A loving smile
Soft spoken words
A soul to play
Like a guitar

Where will one hand
Find the other
Upon which beach
Will our feet walk
Is there a place
Within the universe
For us to share
One heart?

I have a dream
In which you come
Into the garden
Where I write
I have a wish
In which you grant
When you will visit me
One night

I tell the moon about
My dreams
And the moon then
Tells the sun
Look in the rays of light
The tears of Surya
Raining down
With love

Although I am here
And you are living
Where you are
I know our ishq
I know our prem
Still shines between us
In the stars

Little Mahree

My little Mahree
She has everything she needs
My little Mahree
She likes to bully me
My little Mahree
It seems as if to me
I think I’ve spoiled thee
I’ve given too much
Without actually being received
Oh my little Mahree
Who has more than anyone needs

My little Mahree
Eats all the cake that she can find
My little Mahree
Often pretends that she is blind
Collecting all her friends
Throwing comments to the wind
My little Mahree
Will speak her mind all of the time

My little Mahree
Wears a face that’s hard to read
My little Mahree
She may be smiling but you see
My little Mahree
May just be planning to be mean
My little Mahree
Will use up everything in sight
My little Mahree
Will help me out then take my light

My little Mahree
She can be sweet on a good day
My little Mahree
She has a very specific way
My little Mahree
She has a plan but it’s most likely
For her hands
My little Mahree
Does not hold back
She makes demands

I love you my Mahree
I must be careful though with thee
My little Mahree
You know exactly what I mean
She may say one thing do another
She’s not quite like any other
My little Mahree
How does one understand your grief?

My little Mahree
Will give you all a kiss
But my little Mahree
Can most certainly dismiss
All of your feelings
If you do not suit her needs
My little Mahree is very special
So you see

My little Mahree
She loves me only when she wants
My little Mahree
Does anything even confronts
My little Mahree
Follows all her hearts desires
My little Mahree
Likes to start her tiny fires

My little Mahree must be free
To roam the town and swim the sea
My little Mahree
When will she ever settle down

My little Mahree plays best
If we are doing what she says
My little Mahree
Has yet to show us all the rest

Wandering

Through the avenues of your heart
Back alley ways of love
I look around to see
If anyone’s coming

Is that you?

I can hear my voice echo when
I call out your name
Down the boulevard
Maybe you’re asleep
Somewhere in between
The street lamps

Walking over the bridge
Of your nose
Wandering
In the hope to leave a trace
Some small particle of me
So that you know

I’m looking for you
So you can follow my scent
A footprint
To find your way
Into the comfortable safe
Space that I’ve made for you

In the home of my heart
There’s a place where you can lay
Curl up into the light
And the warmth behind my eyes
That only shines the way
It does when it’s looking back
At you

I hold a flame in my hand
Down a cobble stone path
Made of rock and clay
A thousand years old
Emotionally paved with
Tears of joy
Days and days
So many thoughts and dreams
We’ve painted

I’ll punch the devil
If he gets in our way

Want

I want to kiss your lips
But I don’t even know you

I want to kiss your neck
But I don’t even know you

I want to hold you by your hips
But I don’t even know you

I can taste your sweetness
But I don’t even know you

I need to come to grips
I don’t even know you

I want to feel your chest
But I don’t even know you

This is craziness
I don’t even know you

You could figure out the rest
But I don’t even know you

Heart to Heart

Love is thick
Saturated in
Everything we do
Everything we are

Through the pain
Through the joy
Love rises up

Like a fountain of light
Through the darkness
Through the accordion
Of resilient breath

The beauty of our
Soul desires to connect
Heart to heart
With each other
In intimate ways

This is what forever
Looks like with you
Casual finger strokes
Through your hair

A place to rest
No arms to bare

Tracing the lines inside your hands
Feeling your breath against my skin

My lips against your cheek
Our faces pressed together
Hours seem like minutes
Weightless greatness

You don’t care that I’m too deep
I’m turned on by the way you think
Your speaking voice is
A melody to me
It beckons me
To sink

Down into the ground
Below us

Silver outlining
On clouds of carpet
Rolling around
Arciformed through
Shadows cast by fire
In front of the hearth
The golden secrets
That we discern

Our love is like
A sunrise in Tibet
My favorite memory
With my love
Though I haven’t
Met you yet

All Kinds

It takes all kinds
To balance this space
Love your enemies they say
Those that do not relate to you
Add to the beauty
Of what you manifest
What they mistake

Even feeling excluded
Can bring a better power
To the joy and the love
That we can ultimately
Shower

As we bloom

The rose may feel
Unaccepted and
Rejected

Believe me you
Don’t want that energy
Believe me if you had it
You would wish it
Was a dream

The poison to be loved
The pesticide that kills the dove

More like a nightmare
From the one who is jealous

On the outside of the self
Looking in to understand
It is the ones that do not fit
That lend a hand

Offering a spotlight
To your brilliance
Where you shine

The sun will rise on evil
And the good
The difference in between
Will reveal what others could
Love if they only would
Push aside
The monster
That is
The ego

Unlike any other
In the capability
To love it all

The mentality is not the same
A very different mental frame

On the surface
Though this person
Though this thing
May not love you
May not like you
May not understand you
Will never comprehend you

It will show up as your
Beautiful difference to be
Loved by others

And the insecurities
That smother their misjudgment
Will benefit the gifts you give
Nurturing
The rose that lives
Within

Your heart

Serious

A moment of pause inspires a thought

Do you take me seriously
Do you believe
That I mean what I say?

Do you think that
I’m too serious
Do you just not care
Anyway?

My intentions are good
My feelings are strong
Can it be understood
My emotions are a vessel

There is no tragic curse

Is it dangerous to accept
Do you have to be first
Is there an order
In how this plays
Does it mean nothing or
Do you just not care
Anyway?

I am genuine
I am thoughtful
I am sober
I am austere

Would it matter
If I did nothing
Or do you even care?

Serenely composed
Unnecessarily compared

Am I important
Deserving attention
Or do you even care!

An epiphany no matter how absurd

Take note of
My consideration
I always keep my word
I always follow through
You may not take me seriously
Take it to heart
Because I do

I cannot trust you
If you cannot see
The value to come through

In every touch
With every breath
Though perhaps radiant

And silly how ‘bout
A clue

There is intention
And deep thought
In every little thing
I do

Why should I want
To be
Taken seriously
If it’s by someone
Like you

Oversee

There is a beautiful moon
Above us and we are moonlight
Riding in it

What I feel others do not see
Is my perception of what
They feel for me

This drags me
Down
Down
Down

The problem is created in me
To oversee

What may or may not be

Floating down my red lake of tears
Fears that burden my ability
To view clearly
Blind the
Innocent love that
Surrounds me

No one cares as much as I do
About the things I imagine to be
Inside I care enough for
Everyone of us

About the things
I cannot see
About the things
I cannot read

About the things my intuition
Brings to me
