POETRY 4


Oh Icarus
I would join you
with a gossamer golden thread,
pull you from the brink of destruction,
for freedom is my food also
and love is the bowl that carries it.

AIN'T MEDITATIN'

Waiting
for my deck to vibrate
with his graceful step,
waiting
for his dingley dongley
in his cheerful melodic voice,
waiting
for his lips, his arms,
the love that never comes.
Osho said
waiting is meditating.
Feels more like dying.

THE AUTHOR OF DREAMS

"It is a dream, Suranga."
Who was it said:
"When the prophet says:
'And then I woke'
you can stop listening"?
For the dream is the reality
and the reality is the dream.

If I dreamed of my daughter
playing in her father's lap,
if I held my king in love's embrace,
and healed him with surrender,
if I walked my path
as a woman of power and magic,
why should I only listen
when I wake up?

I hear the true call of my dream,
I know the paths of my ancient heart,
and alone and virgin,
fear them and face them
like a hungry tiger in my forest,
yearn for them
as the destiny of my journey,
and all who say nay
speak only with words.
