Love
True love knows no time,
True love knows no age,
True love knows nothing,
True love accepts all,
True love seeks nothing,
True love wants nothing,
True love needs nothing –
True love is absent of the mind,
True love is devoid of time,
True love is letting go
When the Seed of Presence
No longer shows.
Mirror
Look at all of the emotions that arise
When you think of our demise –
Look at the possession you seek
That is making you weak –
Contemplate our memories
Before they were intentions,
Contemplate your words
And their deepest reflections –
Contemplate the love for me
That lingers deep beyond your mind,
Contemplate the separation
Between age and time,
Contemplate the blissful presence
That we once shared,
Contemplate the beginning
When all we had was care;
Now, look into my eyes
And tell me that I’m not the love of your life,
If you think this is true
Then your mind has become a knife –
Contemplate why “I’m different,â€
This is simply because I am
The purest you –
Despite the tears that I’ve wept
I assure you we are not through –
The beginning can be the endless beginning
If our minds don’t let it end,
If we feel beyond intentions
Present souls will too soon mend –
I am life itself and so are you:
The midnight sky,
The sunset’s hue.
I’ll Show You
You asked me how I could even love you,
And I told you because you is not truly you;
We shared what was not of this world
Until it was locked away
And all was seemingly through,
As the ego grew that still wasn’t you
Presence seemed to no longer stay,
The blissful children
Then no longer played –
“I’ve never felt like this before,â€
Because “this†is not a feeling
Nor can it be felt;
This is the greatest gift of all,
This presence
Is the soul that melts –
When Time became the answer
It soon became a cancer –
What you did and what you said
And how you misinterpreted my deeply felt words,
Have painted a picture of great pain
That made the mind’s story absurd and insane,
And now I write to the hungry birds –
Crossing paths as you go on to give
The temporal presence that I love,
My heart breaks while I re-contemplate
All of the above –
We birthed beauty into this world
And you attempt to devalue its meaning,
It is not even truly of this world
And this is what sent you gleaming
Into here and now,
Into even God’s breath
I solemnly vow –
It’s as if I seek to put together words
To heal your tarnished soul
But I already know
That within your present essence
You are already whole –
I play and sing for myself
With the wish that you would hear,
To again find your Presence
And to release all of your ego’s fears –
He’ll see the best of you
And this is what kills me;
He’ll see the life in you,
The same life that thrilled me –
Remember that I never wanted
Or needed anything from you,
And I remember for you it was the same;
Remember when there was innate love
And not a desired gain –
Remember when there was no future,
Nor was there a past –
Remember when it was the beginning,
Remember when it didn’t last:
The moment that Time interfered,
The moment that Presence disappeared –
The moment that the ego reappeared.
One might ask: What does this do for me?
And I’ll tell you again that “this†isn’t you.
Once you realize this power,
The skies will again turn blue.
A utopia is in the future and
If you want a glimpse into the future
Then look deep within my eyes to the Present,
The Universe’s greatest gift
That no wealth could ever buy;
Embrace it now
And don’t ask how,
Just breathe and all subsides –
The breath is a reflection of
Its ever-healing selfless self,
Formless and empowering
That gives life to everything else.
The kingdom of heaven lies within,
It sits in the eyes of your best friend,
It is not over there or somewhere else,
It is Here right now,
Even when by yourself;
It lives within
Through thick and thin –
The mind cannot truly conceptualize
The Divine Energy of God
In which I speak,
I’ve dug much deeper
And sometimes I go weak,
But I assure you that through the
Love of the egoless Self,
You will naturally embrace everyone else –
Allow it to be the endless beginning,
You will never cheat yourself,
You will always be winning.
Thought is superficial when it stems from egoic fears,
The mind then becomes a prison
That leaves one in endless tears –
If you desire to argue against these deeply felt words
Then ask yourself who’s speaking or judging,
Ask yourself what it’s worth –
And if it’s worth something
Then it’s worth nothing.Â
