I wrap myself in a shawl
of prayers
shut out the pain
and suffering
in dark silence
illumined by Your presence
I am

David makes me a friendlier person
sometimes..... I am as aloof
as the Himalayan
mountain range
my head in the ethers
spinning in absolute
sparkling space
glassy stars
pellucid galaxies
cascading around me
my loving hubby
brings me down to earth
I feel the lush loam
warmth of humankind
and gather the world around
my fireplace
singing bhajans
chanting sweet Oms

You're smoking that cigarette
makes me sad
I watch you from the
lobby window of the hotel
framed with crocus plants
breathe in smoke stacks
pillars of poison
puffing into azure ozone
your once pink lungs
crumble like crematory ash
prayers gush from my heart
put out the fire

Alas! I have taken another birth
And lost the blissful opportunity
to dwell with You eternally
Divine Charioteer
Take command of my
galloping senses
wayward mind, unruly disposition

Fly fast and sure Heavenward
In the celestial Palace of my Lord
Refined, pure and chastened
The open flower of my heart
will be His pillow
my joyful kisses
His sweet ambrosia

My lips, ecstatic blossoms
perpetually glued to
Your resplendent feet
have lost their desire for
the vanishing fare of this plane
Hari!
I long only for the Grace of
Your dulcet touch

We sat by the shore
listening....

There's a red tinged
Shiva Moon
adorning the night sky
honeycombs drip in
the sweet sultry air
My Lord is close to me tonight
His starry raven robes
cover me with pure enchantment
I am a tender whisper
in His heavenly caress
