SONGS OF MY SILENCE

in a restless dream last night
I wondered about what keeps thoughts of you
alive in my memory and takes me through avenues
to listen to the voice of your eyes that nobody but I
could understand and plants in my heart songs hidden
in your silence and that silence encloses me with your looks
as you open petal by petal your heart as Spring opens the rose
to touch skillfully and mysteriously that place inside me
which no one has ever traveled gladly beyond any eye

ever since the dream I’ve walked in your silence
with your heart with your songs with the voice of your eyes
and the gestures in the silence enclose me with a love
like a naked light that brings whispers like silent raindrops
on my narrow street and without any musing my heart consumes
the whispered words of love in the sounds of your silence
and nothing which we are to perceive in this world

equals the power of your intense love whose texture

compels me to surrender to your love what I am forever
till heaven closes its doors on me

Can You Give Me Your Smile Again?

("Come to me, all you who are weary
and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11: 28)

can you give me your tired self
your sorrowful soul, your hurting heart
that’s yearning to breathe love

you come onto me, all you who are weary and burdened
and I will give you rest

come and let’s eat love drink love and live with love
you who are weary and yearning to breathe love
come and taste the purity of love from the fountain of Love
let me satisfy your unquenchable thirst
with every drop of eternal passion

let me restore your strength in love
with the hope in my arms let me sprinkle
your fields with soothing feelings of love
and for those love has gone away
I’ll awaken light to befall you with delights

I am the anchor for your teeming aches
the haven for your roasted self
the porter of your broken dreams
bring me your homeless heart
and taste the smile of love

to you I lift my lamp to welcome you Home
and give you rest from all that you miss
in a kiss
