You can’t keep up with
This fire though you want to
Touch it you know you
Still can’t keep up with it
My head is clear
Clear as day
No need to say
Anything more about it
Free breath
Free air
I don’t care
No more scowling
No more glowering
I won’t vitrify my heart
Feels good to smack my hands
Dust it off
Batting it away
When we come back for love
We come back for ourselves
First things first
No more ominous
No more sullen showering
Have the moment
How does it feel
No glowering
Just glowing

Courage, Justice
Temperance
Practical Wisdom
Restore the flow
Show Who’s Who
In life
Sometimes We Win
Sometimes We Lose
As long as you have
Done your best
There is literally
Nothing Else
That Can Be Done
Therefore, Feel Peace
About the effort
Accept the result
With equanimity
Mental and emotional
Stability and composure
Especially under stress
Or tension
General calm
Yet and still
If the result is good
Don’t become
Arrogant or conceited
It could always
Go the other way
Easily
Slip and fall
Crack your head open
Pulling your teeth out
In distress
If the result is bad
Don’t let it effect
Your sense of
Self-Worth
It’s the idea
Of what really is
Truly yours
And what isn’t
Achievement of Ataraxia
An inner tranquility
Resulting from knowledge
You have done everything
It was in your
Power to do
Let the chips fall
Where they may

Looking into the eyes of Sasquatch
How do you compose yourself
What would you do
Protect them or
Scream for help
So much more than I ever
Knew to want is in each moment
And the grass desires the sun
Green moon on the horizon
Humble me
Draw the orange curtain back
Peek into the light
Dripping lanterns
Ambient happiness
Bright leaves to dress
The outside of our tomorrows
Do we die happy
Knowing we touched so many things
Investigating the planet in so
Many different places
So many lives
Emblematic fortune
What are words but just an
Opportunity to try
Funneled in we are
Funneling out

Lift the load pull the weight of things
Burn the candle at both ends
It’s only been three years that I’ve
Been doing all these things in this
Routine and so the military aspect
Asks me to double triple up
I mask my serenity and take it
Too seriously it’s almost dramatic
I am a result of my own actions
I want to manage at a low key level
Ask for help when only necessary
This is my modus operandi
Self sufficiency until we break
Release the string and march again
It’s not the end until the end
Put my finger to my lips and shhhh
So many people have it worse
But our realities feel the pain
Individually their is no comparison
What is the weight of the world
If only 9, 200 milliards not so bad
So we hold our heads up high
Ask for guidance from divine
Alternate invisible energies
Send in the rescue squad to
Bite the tongue and leave behind
Old unwarranted anger upset fear
Cross the bridge to future near
No stratosphere is capable of
Every answer and no returns
The music is better with four ears
Why burden the rest with madnesses
With tears of confusion between
Proud and mortified webs of endless
Tries are the weavers of blankets
That cover and hold our heads
Alone by the path of the solo
Relentlessly in the snow

My eyelashes are wet
With the circumference
Of my desire for you
The empire I inspire for you
Although the iceberg of my
Patience melts slowly
As I sketch the outline
Of your drift
The existence between
My headphones rings
Like a distant
Church bell in my head
A century of crickets
Chirp in accolades of us
A line used to join our staffs
Carrying simultaneous parts
Along the stream of light
That blinds the funeral
For our love in a weighted
Ceremonial harbor
Floating up into
A resurrection of butterflies
After the wet chrysalis
Drips from each strand
Of our lashes
Synchronized into a pool
We kayak through
Together as the milk of
Our tomorrow feeds
The pasture of every beast
That bellows and bleats
Rejoicing in the favored
Emotions we have championed
Out above the surface
Of our bodies that
Meet the horizon of
Blue and green
I’m not afraid
To show you
Who I truly am
You are more mouthwatering
Than any dish
I’ve ever had

What we do matters
To us
The little things
Not how many followers
Not the millions of likes
But learning to ride
A bike
Dismantling the
Training wheels
One moment like this
Means more than all
The billions of people
That you’ve never met
Liking your post
I have a small following
One that I can genuinely
Call friends
When I think about
The millions that could
Love what I do
I think about how
I could lose you
In the midst of all this
There is a treasure
What we do
Together is ours
No chasing stars
Just comfortably
Rising to heights
In us with us
You are my biggest fan
And it doesn’t matter
If you’re the only one
How many do we
Really need?
Your love surpasses
The love of a trillion hearts
I can stand still in this
And feel the bliss
All around me
Unconditional
On the other end of the line
You are there
Every time
What we do
Is all I need
You’re in every tear
Every drop of blood
I bleed
What we do
Is all in one
And when we share
Our love we send it
Out like a beam
On a boat down a stream
We love the entire world
Together
When we do
What we do

Do you feel the distance
Of keeping up but still
It’s so far away
Do you want to
Get closer
Keep reaching out
Asking the me
That you know
To be able to
Achieve the things
That feel the distance
Of letting it all go
Letting it become
What it wants to be
As we strive to have
Our voices heard
So many of us
Have things to say
But do not feel like
We are heard
How do we ask
For the world
To listen…
Do you feel done in this town
Is there a question
Going round about you
Or is it all in your head
Only we know our value
Watch it take off
When the truth of
“Who I am”
Rises to the occasion
There is only one answer
Be yourself
Grab a quill
Grab a pen
Whatever it takes
Make no mistake-
You never know
Maybe the one
You always hoped
To hear what you have to say
Will be or is already watching

You are more than
An empty building
A table with no one
To sit at
You are the dream date
I would wait to sit
Next to
Across from
The roller coaster ride
Inside my heart
I want to relate to
I watch the wind
Blow in the trees
Through my hair
Through the leaves
You are still
More than all of these things
I can feel you in
The frequencies
Around the vibrations
That beat in the
Water walls that flow
Down the Kahiwa falls
You do it all
Every shooting star
Every subtle test
A breath in every nest
The pulse inside my chest
Rivets for you
Rivers rush towards you
You call the wild
And conjure my smile
When we dance again
I will hold you to no end
From the beginning
Of our drum
To the pounding
Of our love
You are more
Than I have words for

Can you feel
Time grasping
At you
Slipping away into
I don’t know where
Is there enough
Do you ask yourself
Where it’s all going
Sometimes
Sometimes I do
I think about you
The things I really want to do
Maybe tomorrow
I say before
It all fades away
Am I coming or going
Loving life without knowing
If the moment is now
Waiting too long
Could mean it’s
Slipping somehow
Yet out of the blue
The blurry images
Looking through
My tears
Fighting through
The years
I see you
Sometimes I do
I think about you
The things I really want to do
Maybe tomorrow
I say before
It all fades away
Do you see me
Looking back at you
In just enough time
Before I ask
What time cannot
Tell us
We tell ourselves
Dusting off
All the shelves
Knowing now time is you
Knowing now time is me
The only time
That we have
Is the time that we’ll be
Together
Do I live in your heart
Like you’re living in mine
I don’t want to confuse
Or waste
Any more time
Can you feel
Time grasping
At you
Slipping away into
Us
What could be us
If we just make a move
Sometimes I do
I think about you
The things I really want to do
Maybe tomorrow
I say before
It all fades away

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
