Sweet lies

Tell me all about injustice, sweetheart
For the fire in your eyes
I will gladly
Listen to your lies
Tell me what you have been through, darling
The devastating lows, the ecstatic highs
Tell me all about it!
I promise I’ll believe,
your sweet and innocent lies
Tell me all about our future, beauty
If I can hold you, kiss you
feel the curves of your thighs
I will listen until dawn
To your majestic lies
Let’s be still together, love
Let’s feel the Sun, hold hands
And touch the skies
Let us not use language
No more words
No more lies
Sweet embrace

I remember when we first met, Beloved
How our love matured, my love!
You are always fresh to me,
I remember when we first met, Beloved
existence held its breath
when I saw truth shining in your eyes
I desired only that
How our love matured, my love!
The fire burned all it could consume
Nothing’s left but the truth of *this*
All expectations went up in fume
You are always fresh to me,
a kind miracle of grace
each move you make, a stolen kiss
just an hint of your fragrance,
my sweet embrace
Touch me where no lover reached

I can’t resist You
Just like the shores can’t resist
Being stripped by the tides
Teach me what no imam preached
Touch me where no lover reached
There is nothing I can hide from You
Strip me from what’s fake
Heal me, my heart
Strip me until all that’s left
is my love for You
I will stand alone

I build my sweetheart a thousand castles
each one was build from love and gold
But soon she felt the castles as cages
Like the wind, her heart could not be hold
She needs space, i thought
So I build her a dessert steppe
To whirl with passion and dance with the moon
She needs beauty, I thought
So I planted her a garden
Where she could smell the peonies in June
No matter what I made for her
Her joy would not stay long
“It’s perfect but I am not happy here
I can’t tell you what is wrong”
Though we love each other deeply
There was nothing I could do
But watch her drift away from me
Until I realized this was not really true
What I can lose, I never had
my hard work just to please you, only makes you sad
If i stand alone
Without a need for you
You are free to love me
But I don’t need you to
Awaken from the dream

I once met a whale
My heart went out to help him
We both woke up at dawn
I had a severe nightmare
Their language was confused
Listen, my ancient friend, I said
and can awaken
I once met a whale
Diving in oceans deep
I floated closely near him
When I heard him crying in his sleep
My heart went out to help him
I gently stroke his fin
and softly sang a sleeping song
until he calmed down… and I tucked him in
We both woke up at dawn
He still looked a little pale
But after a good plankton breakfast
He dared to tell his tale
I had a severe nightmare
I dreamed I was humankind
We all lived in separate chambers
And every door was labelled and priced
Their language was confused
And divided close of kin
I learned the strangest concepts
They called “evil”, “Me” and “sin”
Listen, my ancient friend, I said
Their condition is not as bad, as it may seem
Similar to what you experienced today,
They too,
are in the love of God
and can awaken
From the dream
The lovesick wind

I listened how the wind sang beautifully,
the secrets of her weeping heart
Of how her sweetheart left her
And how this tore her soul apart
Hush now, pretty thing, I said
Lay down and drink some wine
Only empty dreams can leave you
and what remains
Is the divine
The golden Oriole

I lost my mind in non duality
To the extend i needed a shrink
I found an oriole who offered help
And I planned to tell her
the highest thoughts I think
The first session was struggle
Please don’t take this a Critique
But Oriole whistle
Is not a language that I speak
She did not seem to understand at all
When I talked about Advaita in depth
But simply looked at me with loving eyes
Until I fell silent,
drowned in her endless heart
and wept
I meet her frequent now
And the sessions are always free
We enjoy each other’s company
That golden oriole
And me
Embrace me

I am the baby and sitter
I am everything you despised
I am your Goddess and God
Embrace me
Embrace me
For I am you
I am your father and mother
sister and brother
I am the baby and sitter
the order and litter
the sweet and bitter
I am everything you despised
the person you chastised
I am your Goddess and God
I am perfect and flawed
Embrace me
Love me!
For I am You
As seasons ripple through me
