~ TASTE BUDS

Papillae degusting
The juices of your orgasm
While frenetically
I reach for the aperture
Of a thousand desires.

I want you -
Always.

~ ENDS WITH A KISS

Transience is so immense,
We pass in a flurry of being,
A beautiful moment
In all its suddenness,
Arising in love, or enchanted
In the contraction of work.

And you I possess, however time may
Wear you away.
From I to you
Goes the command
Of infinite space to be assumed
In a single radiating emotion.

Every terrifying angel
Invokes the deadly birds of your soul
Disguising essence made of ecstasy,
Scooping up the finery of beauty
In streams from your upturned face
And gathering it back into themselves.

But I, moved by deep feeling, evaporate
In the mist of want,
And breathe myself out and away
Incapable of retaining your heart,
Splinters of sorrow
Perforating my basic reality.

You’ve entered my bloodstream,
Lover untenable,
The whole springtime
Perfumed with your jasmine flesh
Dissolving my senses in its taste.
Do angels really absorb the tension of love?

So you promise eternity,
From the embrace to the moment of kiss,
At each other's mouth and your lips on mine,
Osculating delight in astonished attachment
To touch one another this potently,
The gods involved in the excess.

LA MUSIQUE ADOUCIT

The melody
of uncharted algorithms
leading
to my torment,
aspires to placate
the void
of my vacant
mind.

Why do you
return
to clutch my heart
like
an obsessive tide?

MALAISE


Malaise
Is the melancholy
Of memories
Lost
In the heart
Of things.

~~Kyaan Mein Saagar Ki Ek Lehar Huun~~~~~Am I a wave of the Ocean

Bilingual Hindi/English

Daubmir, Are you listening?

Kyaan Mein Saagar ki ek lehar huun
Jo tumhe chuu ke saagar me samaan jaati hei
Tarsaati hui,Lalchaati hui
Chuumti hui,Naachti hui
Aa Tu bhi is saagar me samman jaa
iski anant gehrayee mein
iski vishaal hriday mein
iski roam roam mein
iski boond boond mein
isi mein khushi ki shikhar he
isi mein kayamat hein
isi mein jannat hein

Am I a wave touching you at the shore
And merging back in the ocean?
Tormenting you, tempting you
Kissing you, tantalising you with my dance
Come, you also merge with me
The ocean of endless depth
The ocean of an awesome heart
The ocean of pure infinite drops
The ocean of an omniscient soul
And reach
An eternal orgasm
An eternal heaven
An eternal bliss

~ A THUNDEROUS ORGASM.....By Ray Forever

O my writhing serpent
Shake off your endless skins
Shake off the nightmares of your past sins
And come writhe on me
Slide in me
Ride in me
Strangle me
In your embrace
Enter the maze
Of my emotions....
Whirl me
Swirl me
Rise with me
Cry with me
Until we find
The Truth
And then
Lie in each others arms
After
A thunderous orgasm
In
Eternal Bliss

~ Weave Me Into You.....by Ray Forever

Weave me into you
You, the warp and I, the weft
In between, no space left
If anyone tried to tear
Will fail, coz we will share
A bond
So strong
With
An amalgamation of our spirits
No you
No me
Only We
Only We

~ Aa, Pyaar Ke Saagar Me Samman Jaa ~~~ Come, Merge in the Ocean of Love

Hindi/English Bilingual

Daubmir, My reply

Mein, Ek Boond
jo saagar me samaa gayee
Ai Samudar....Tu Bhi aa isme samaa jaa
Zindagi bhar ki pyaas isme bhuja jaa
Isme samma ke tu bji paak ho jaa
Pyaar ki jwaar bhata me hum chalenge
Aur suraj ki kirne hame chumengin
To ham karengen safar us aakash me baadal banke
Aur is duniya me pyyar ke varshaan karengen

I am a drop
Which has merged in the ocean
O mighty sea...You also come and merge with me
And quench your lifetime thirst
By its touch you will be pure
We shall move in the love tides
And when The Sun will kiss us
We shall soar up to the sky
Turn into clouds
And then become raindrops of love showering over this world

~ ECDYSIS.....by Ray Forever

Shed all your skins
Come out of your hiding
and
dance with me to ecstasy

~ SILENT INSIDE

Staying silent inside you

Silent as a raindrop
Silent as a flower growing
Silent as a fragile heart
Silent as a gentle breeze
Silent as my faint heartbeat

Staying silent inside you

Silent as a butterfly
Silent as angels sleeping
Silent as a barefoot princess
Silent as a sensual whisper
Silent as falling in love

Staying silent inside you

~ HEART ALONE

Luminosity
Eyes like angel dust
Sparkle
With love inside

Radiance of a smile
From deep within the heart
Heart
Of
Gold

Friendship
Offered up with love
Hands warmed
Pure of heart

Yet all alone
Why
Unjust
Golden heart is crumbling

Shards of hurt
Damage irreversable
Betrayal
Loneliness
Soul cries out for mercy

~ FALLING AWAY

FALLING SWIFTLY AWAY
FRAGMENT BY LOVELY FRAGMENT
INCESSANT SCREAMING SOUL
YEARNING TO BE WHOLE

IMPATIENT AS THE WIND
WANTING LOVE WITHIN
RESTLESS IN MY HEART
FALLING RAPIDLY

THE BEATS ARE SKIPPING FREQUENTLY
HOLES DOWN DEEP INSIDE
PREVENTING ITS REPAIR
NEVER TO FEEL SUFFUSED
TILL MY LOVER WILL BE NEAR

~ THE MUSE

I long to be the muse
The lover he does choose
The one to sing his lovely songs
As he holds me all night long

I wish to be the muse
That swiftly moves his pen
The woman dreams are made of
His true love and his friend

I'd die to be the muse
Inspiring him so
If he only knew, once in his arms
He'd never let me go

~ SORRY FOR ME

I felt sorry for me
My light was not bright enough
I felt sorry for me
I can't touch your face
I felt sorry for me
I can't hold you near
I felt sorry for me
That my soul calls to you
I felt sorry for me that I'm not where you are
I felt sorry for me that I can't be all you need

I feel sorry for thinking about myself so much
All I can do is offer you my love....

~ CHANTEZ LES CHANSONS D'AMOUR

One voice in unison
Let's sing the songs of love
Put love in our hearts for all
Creating an immovable force
Passion and radiant light
An orchestral composition
If as one we all shine bright
Blinding love shall be our guide
So let us sing together
Of light and love to share
Show compassion for all men
Live with love and care

~ WOUND UP

You have such a way that winds me up inside
Envisioning that want me look that I'll see in your eyes
As you say to me, you are mine all mine
How I long to have you right here by my side

I'd drink in your soulful eyes
My ears would hear your pleasured sighs
As you reached for paradise
We'd both be wrought with delight

Hands would tremble violently
Fervently reaching for me
Bodies burning like the fire
Blazing with lust and desire

Hotter still with every touch
Love inside that feels so much
As our lips meet in a kiss
We sing chansons of sweet bliss



Fiercely, you fall into me

Lovers brought to ecstasy

~ KILL ME.....By Ray Forever

Kill me
Kill the sense of "Me"

Behead me
Behead me of my beliefs

Ground me
Ground me to dust,then I fly

Crush me
Crush the ego that rose high

Take me
Take this life without You

~ LONGINGS.....by Ray Forever

I Wait In Anguished Longing

I wait in anguished longing
To be turned
From grape into wine
From mine to Thine
From water into vapour
From dull sight to sparkle in your eye
From a wick to a flame burning bright
From a caterpillar to a butterfly
From a speck in the earth to a star in the sky
From being dead to 'alive'
From wheat to bread
From a shadow into a fountainhead
From Black to Turquoise Blue
From Me to " Lost in You"

---

Earlier
My heart cried
Longing for flesh
Now
It cries
Longing for You

~ I WILL BE THE MUSIC THAT YOU WORE....By Ray Forever

You sing....
I will be the mountain and hold your voice deep inside

You feel.....
I will be the earth and keep your vibrations in my core

You cry.....
I will be the ocean keeping your sacred drops alive

You chant....
I will be the holy hymn,we shall soar

You fly.....
I will be the sky,always holding you high

You dance.....
I will be the music that you wore

~ MY DEDICATION TO DAUBMIR

I think it is time to honor the amazing poet and creator of this fine blog.
As far as I'm concerned, he is an inspiration to keep writing lovely poetry from all our hearts. He possesses endless talent. He is also a wonderful man. A friend to everyone and has so much love to give. I would like to dedicate some favorite poems of mine to Daubmir.

~IT STANDS

Over the vast rolling plains
Beyond the rustic treetops in the vineyard
Through the darkest night sky
Against the fiercest desert storm
After the volatile pouring rain
Across the seemingly infinite oceans
On the other side of it all
Stands my love for you

~LOVE NEVER APART

An ocean divides us
Nary a deterrence
For the passion I feel for you
Runs deeper than those waters
Miles divide us
My love never fret
For the intensity I feel for you
I shall go any distance
Not a thing exists to divide us
Surpassing my love for you
Two souls to melt eternally
If you so entrust
Love will never divide us
It resides in my heart
When at last we can unite
Love never will be apart

~MASTER OF MELODIES

The master of the melodies of my soul
Heard as gloriously euphonic sounds
Singing to my souls depths
A knowing that it has been found
The master of the melodies of my soul
Seems to know what needs to be heard
My soul soars in endless flight
When I read his words
The master of melodies of my soul
Must know that we are meant to be
For when my soul hears his songs
I've never been so free

~MY SECRET GARDEN

I have a secret garden
It was once a mystery
He dazzled me with his love
So I gave him the key
The question lies before me
I'll ask it once more
Does he want to see my roses?
Will he open up the door?
Love grows in my secret garden
Outstretched to the sky
It's not just ordinary love
It's the kind that makes you fly
Come to my garden and smell my fragrance sweet
When our souls meet by that gate
Our hearts will be complete

~OVERFLOW

It pours from you
Light erupts from every pore
Inspiring love and beauty
Come closer so I feel it
Radiating through my soul
So I can disperse it
Love you arouse
In all of humanity
Those who embrace
The overflow
Your exaltation of love

~POETIC PERFECTION

Beauty at your core
I am transfixed
On your shine
Words Strengthen my inspiration
My soul drinks it in
Love and Unity
Filled with passion
Of poetic perfection

~YOU MOVE ME

You move my heart
You move my soul
You fill me with lust
So out of control
You move my spirit
You move my mind
You make me feel contentment
So very hard to find

~SUFFUSION

My soul Eternal
Conceived
Benevolence of his heart and soul
Eloquent symmetry of love and light
Evoking love in all
Light illuminating humanity
Fear shan't be a deterrence
Unconditional love still flows
And souls can be suffused

~RESPLENDENCY

Resplendent is his exterior
Magnanimous his heart
Impeccable is his intelligence
Well versed, well rounded, eloquent
All I desire in totality
Two bodies, one soul eternal

~IMPECCABLE BEAUTY

He possesses impeccable beauty
Not only of the physical kind
Oh yes that takes your breath away
I mean what lies inside
When you see such outward grandeur
You would never know
Deep inside, his hearts so real
And he lets it show
He's been a friend to me
Put a smile back on my face
Listened, shared and he cared
Brought me to a sunny place
Friends like him I cherish
They are so hard to find
And even though he's far away
I'm glad he's one of mine

~ LOVE'S POWER

Love is uncontainable in my existence
The rays beam through my skin
Sending it out to all
Love is attainable from my deep heart
If you are not afraid to wade in
You shall see it overflows
Love is unconditional that I give
For to me, love is love is love
And therefore ultimate acceptance

~ SONG OF THE APROSODIC BARD

I love delicate softness:
For me, love has brought the brightness
And the beauty of the sun,

Often you say

Making a mark in the earth
With your heel near the wild black rose
Untamed seemingly made only of dew,

You say

The whole sea and the whole sky
For a single victory of childhood
In the country of dance,

Or better

For a single embrace in a silent corner
Going to the devil with desire on a bridge
Or better yet,

For a single timorous word
Such as must be said while gazing at you
By a blood-stained moon whose music goes far from tree to tree
And keeps going in and out among a hundred birds of snow:
Clouds of memory where it is nice to rest,

And when you say it

The whole sea and the whole sky
Scatter like an ensemble of fairies
At the touch of the wizard’s wand
After whispering the magic phoneme: /L/

---

NOTE: A 'phoneme' is the smallest contrastive unit in the sound system of a language.

My Spiritual Exposition

The following poetry is a glimpse inside my true soul


Light of Being

In a moment of serenity
I saw the brilliant light
Of a higher being
How it shined so bright
I feel this presence with me
Always by my side
Watching always over me
Keeping love inside
I shall hold it close and dear
For it's the light that guides me
Aware the light is always there
And I am living free

Love's Power

A heart so deep and true
Possessing light for all to see
I'll step out of the darkness
If you come with me
A love so pure and real
Powerful, so much
Let it flow inside of me
Cleanse me with its touch
A friend to hold me close
A hand to hold in mine
All I long for, so much more
A kiss to stop all time
A dream of us as one
Your eyes, they hold my sun
I want you to warm me
With the beauty that I see

Inspiration

An Artist or a poets dream and I am both you see:

Someone to make you believe
That life is for living and love is worth giving
Be inspired by the blue sky
Watch the clouds as they float by
Be inspired by the moon
By springtime flowers sweet perfume
Be inspired by the stars
They guide you wherever you are
Be inspired by music and dance
By the hope of love and romance
Be inspired by what you hold dear
Be inspired by those who care
But most of all, this is so true
Be inspired by Y O U!

Soul's Mirrors
I possess true knowledge
Not the kind you find in books
Knowledge of the heart and soul
Not judging by first look
I possess the answers to life big mystery
I found it deep inside my soul
I have found the key
I possess the things that can make this world alright
I can see the beauty in the darkness and in light
I can see a person for who they are inside
Just by looking at their eyes things become much clearer
I possess the knowledge looking into your soul's mirrors

Outside Of The Fire

If you choose to live your life
Standing outside of the fire
You shall never feel the heat and warmth that you desire
Outside of the flame will leave you cold
Your heart and soul will be hollow
Dance in the fire all of your days
And your pain shall be easier to swallow
All it takes is love of yourself
You can find it deep inside of you
In the center of life's fire
To thine own self you have been true

For The Soul
My passions are infinite
It may not seem like torture
But in sense it truly is
Passionate about life
Not enough money to truly live it
Passionate about love
But no place to give it
Passionate about art
But who can see it
Passion in my heart
It just seems to break
Passion in my soul

I see the light

This is why I am tortured so
My soul needs the passion to be whole

Compassion

In this world it seems to me we have so much to give
My wish is to help the world in this life I live
If someone is hungry, I'll feed them
If you need some blood I'll share
If you are sick and all alone, call me I'll take care
If you have a heart that's lonely
And want me to understand only
I'll be right there and show I care and do all that I can

When I walk down the city street
A homeless man begs for money
I gave him some quarters and it hurt my heart
when a lady said, Don't be stupid honey

Live with compassion inside of you
Put yourself in the other guys shoes

Drifting

In a dream you reach out
At last my soul receives the love it has been seeking
Glorious illumination
Taking flight in unison
Dispersing love and light to all of humanity

Abolish The Negativity

The power of many
Is greater than the power of few
The strength of love
Is greater than the strength of hatred
Together is better
Than isolation
Unity soars higher than singularity
We are all special in our hearts and souls
Abolish the negativity
Love, live, and rejoice in the beautiful things
For if we do, the hurt and hate will not survive

Dream Of Unity

Being of lightI perceive your sound
Feel your presence all around
Whether working or at play
I feel you with me every day
Guide me to a better place
Universal love and grace
A place where people love and give
Making life so nice to live
Being of light, you have the power
To help me through my darkest hours
When I'm feeling beaten down
You shine on me and light is found
I'll keep your light inside of me
And pursue my dream of unity

Beauty Of Love
Love is uncontainable in my existence
The rays beam through my skin
Sending it out to all
Love is attainable from my deep heart
If you are not afraid to wade in
You shall see it overflows
Love is unconditional that I give
For to me, love is love is love
And therefore ultimate acceptance

~ Love Can

Burning for resolve
Passion within the soul
Respond to the divine summoning
To love in totality
And with immovable grace
Love shall uplift us to supernal dimensions
Love conquers all

~ MY IMPASSIONED SENSUALITY

Carnal Perfection

Beneath the voluminous sky
Bathed in the beauty that is you
Luminosity in your eyes
As they rest upon my delicate features
My hair cascades onto your chest
As it heaves with desire
The air abundant with torridity
Lips touch tenderly with yearnings forcible
Your hands graze my supple breasts
As all of you summons to all of me
Intimate hungers revealed
Soul’s passions ignited
Encountering an impassable force
As our bodies gravitate closer
My head is dazed with delight
And I lie back as you penetrate me
My ears have been favored
For they have discerned the ballad of our souls

Ecstasy

In a darkened room
Hands slowly reach for each other
Softly exploring flesh
Lips meeting as bodies tremble
Skin against skin as pleasure approaches
Intimate unity as hearts and souls connect
Sensual moans of pleasure
Contentment with experiencing the art of making love
Dying in each others arms would now be okay

Amore

I want to get lost in your eyes
Stay a while between your thighs
Feel your lips pressed to mine
From your flesh drink strawberry wine
I want to feel your passion deep
Hold you as you fall alseep
Bodies naked and so free
As your love falls into me

As One

Slow shallow breath as their lips get closer
Hearts beating strongly as their flesh meets
Anticipation of pleasure surges through their souls
Skin against skin, bodies becoming as one
Oneness as hearts connect
Truly making love

Heat

I shall run to you on a tepid eve in summer
My skin felt as spun velvet beneath your fervent hands
I envision our glistening bodies
As candles burning cast shadows of love on the wall
Drawn together, feeling the fire of our souls coursing through us
My hands tremble as I reach for heaven
You come to all my senses as I touch the heat of your passion
As it bursts forth with appetence
All that lies within my deepest recesses is ablaze
As you dance wildly inside of me
Irony is met, when I’m caught like thisI feel infinitely free
Bountifully breathless, I discover
Your essence is embedded in my soul

Hunger

The incessant rumblings within
Hunger with a need to be satiated
Calm my soul with the words
That slide so gracefully from your tongue
My ears perceive them as the sweetest melodies
Bringing solace to my heart
Stirring passion from the depths of all that I am
Allow me to feel your breath upon my neck
As you stroke my skin with your silken hands
Invite me into all that is you
So I can share some of this love

Impassioned

Wanton lust in your eyes
Reaching slowly betwixt my thighs
Endless passions are unleashed
Come to me, my carnal feast
Lay your body next to mine
Give the kiss to stop all time
Softly touch my naked flesh
With a loving sweet caress
Put your manly hands on me
Bursting forth viriliy
Bodies tremble, pleasure met
Passion's love we won't forget
Coming close you slip inside
Ready for a wild ride
Lovers fire burning free
Your love explodes inside of me
Breathless in the afterglow
Not just about sex you know
Sex becomes much more than fun
When two souls melt into one


Yearning

Since the beginning of creation
Man yearned for woman
And woman for man
For Adam and Eve
Surely must have had quivering loins
Unconcealed in a garden of paradise
Blessed I have been with insatiable urges
To know all that passion beholds
I am endlessly yearning for wholeness
Unity only felt when longings are matched
and subsequently effectuated
Longing to have a kiss that sings a songof heavenly rapture
Craving to feel hands upon me
That savagely want to touch me
Yearning for physical and emotional mutuality
To deliver me to my sensual rhapsody
All I desire is to render all that I am
To all that he is
As impassioned love is made

Blissful Intimacy

The room is darkened, the night so still
With visions of you, my head is filled
I want you here right next to me
Lovers and friends we would be
A hand to hold a heart to touch
A body to touch that I lust so much
Kisses of passionate desire
Setting body and soul on fire
Touching each other inside and out
To me what love is really about
Intimate unity as bodies join
Ecstasy met with quivering loins
Souls melting together in bliss
Spiritual lovemaking, spiritual kiss

He Likes It Hot

Lay down with me in the rose garden
Under the shade of the olive tree
If you like I'll whisper to you
All the things you could do to me
The scent of the sea is in the air
The warms breeze gently blows my hair
You can't stop, you must kiss me now

You said I like it when it's hot
So I took off my sweater

Oh, Passionata

Oh passionata, oh night of love
Oh lay me down on a bed of roses
Kiss of my lips
Touch of my body
I kiss you all over
You writhe in pleasure
Oh passionata
Fall into me
Dance away within the deepest parts of me
Bring me to a happy place
Leave a smile on my face
Oh passionata, oh night of love

Unwavering Passions

My unwavering passions lure me to thee
Rousing all that had long been dormant within
Wanting to feel passions melt together
Forming a brilliant flame
To warm the most cold and desolate
My unbridled passions beckon only to you
Lay me down
Bring your inviting lips to mine
Gently caress my silken skin
I shall whisper all my desires to you
Allow me to pleasure you with my delicate lips
Ever so softly as you slowly drift to your bliss
My passions unleashed onto you
You come to me as your copious fortitude
Brings forth explosions simultaneously
Our souls are enjoined
As we are brought to our transcendent elation

~ SWIMMING IN THE RIVER OF THE THOUSAND LINGAS.....Ray Forever

Naked desire

Lurking underneath

So bright

It can set fire...

Come, let us burn in it

And fly higher and higher

Soaring up to the stars

Of our fancy

Unleashing the girdle

Of our wanting....

Lets swim in the river of the thousand lingas*

Unabated, undulated

All consuming, seducing,

Haunting, burning, aching

And drown in the passion

Mine, yours, ours....

* Linga:
A stylized phallus worshiped as a manifestation of the god Shiva in the Hindu religion

~ YOU MAKE ME FEEL BEAUTIFUL.....by Ray Forever

You make me feel beautiful
You make me feel complete
You make me want to give
You make me feel upbeat
You make me want to live
You make me feel the heat

Lets just make music together
You be my muse...
In this journey of love
Lets just find the hues
Of paradise...

~ INSIDE MY LOVE, DIE....By Ray Forever

A deep dark night
Clutching like a parasite
Strange dark woods
Throwing its hoods
Refusing to let go
Howling winds blow
Threatening whirlpools
Demons rule
Tentacles and vines
Circle and entwine
Your dark mind
Raging tempest
Anguished quest
Died a thousand deaths
Trying to set love on the breath
Deep cloud cover
O seething lover
Dont burn so bright
In your own light
Slide out from the side
Do it now
Before you die
Run,escape
Before you get raped
By your own mind
Thats made you blind
With its simmering steam
Can hear your soul scream
Soar up to the sky
Along the length of my thigh
Wings of your fancy and fly
Up,up,high,high
Join me inside
Inside my love,Die.....

~ ODE TO RUMI by Renu

You introduced me to a world
where words sing into your soul
where words flutter your heart when unfurled

You take my breath away...
You've set poetry in my breath
its become my life and ray

You are my inspiration lifelong
I long to dance as a dervish reading your lines
This is my life, this is where I belong....

~ All things are possible, except skiing through a revolving door

I have travelled the whole world, consumed by an inner fire I cannot decipher yet. But my disquiet and restlessness hasn't abated: I'm still as impulsive, angry, emotional, and discontent as when I was first born into puberty.

But when I compose poetry, oh when I compose! When I write I seem to become universal, in an orgasmic, a-tonic, mental masturbating sort of way that pampers my deeper requisites for sensual freedom and awakens the genius in me.

I am actively thinking, while I write. While I'm writing for you and to you, the anonymous reader.

All active thinking is more than a mere linking together of images and conceptions. Can you intellectually connect with me and perceive the genius?

Genius: his messages take shape in the secret depths of the soul...

Philosopher Galton wrote that "what is generally meant by genius is the automatic activity of the mind, as distinguished from the effort of the will. In a man of genius, the ideas come as by inspiration; he is driven rather than drives himself."

It is a gift of the gods... Plato, himself a genius, suggests that creative thought is a kind of madness sent upon men by the gods in accordance with some purpose of which they and not we are conscious. Being conscious that I am not really a genius, I should be satisfied with my intuitive mind, as intuition is the basis of all thinking. The intuited idea is operative throughout the whole process of the collection of facts, the brooding over them, the gradual heightening of the tension, the sudden release and the slow and steady mastery of the detail by the elaboration of the conceptions and judgments. In any concrete act of thinking mind's active experience is both intuitive and intellectual. If you wish to be my intellectual connection, in turn I should be intuitively your medium for manipulating your higher sense of existence. Accept?

I mean: do you accept that?

It is a mistake to think that the only qualifications for elucidating truth and fulfilment in life are purely intellectual. Only those whose lives are deep and rich light on the really vital syntheses significant to mankind.

Shouldn't we do our part in the synthesis of our life? Let's be creative then, if we cannot be true geniuses. Let's be alive and expressive in all our senses.

Artistic. Yes.

The work of art is the crystallization of a life-process. Grab my hand... shed your skin awhile, and be an artist with me, just like I want to be an artist with you, unlearning to relearn -- just like Socrates said.

Is this my electronic virtual crisis? Since I've just about experienced any sort of intellectual crisis available to man, I may as well have a cyber-crisis online!

(sarcastic laugh)

I've been like this since birth, so no bullshit. It's actual awareness, finally. A wanting for aesthetic achievement. My mind is in labour and craves for sustenance from the whole being. No more crap from others.

Now read a poem, for chrissake! Or write me a poem...

This is the prayer I understand, no other.

True poetry which is rich with a world of suffering and experience, has the fullness and mystery, and depth and authority of life itself. It is because the poet sees so intensely that he is able to communicate to us his feeling and judgment. The creative spirit and its activity are so unlike the conscious mind that the latter feels itself to be inspired and raised above its normal power by the breath of spirit. Can you bear with me a moment about "inspiration"?

The inspired souls speak from a centre of consciousness that has transcended the limits of its finitude and so claim an authoritativeness which is not within the power of the normal individual to bestow. They do not think so much as thoughts come to them. Hey, you see how close we now come to the concept of "genius" as Plato sees it? So, perhaps all hope is not lost. The poet believes that his work is due not to his intellectual skill or imaginative boldness but to what he calls his inspiration.

I feel inspired. My reader, if you do exist, you've got to believe me: I feel soooo inspired I could initiate an atomic fission by just composing a haiku verse!

But DO YOU feel inspired? Well, do you? Ever?

Since inspiration comes to the poet's life and fades out of it regardless of his inclination, he traces it to a power more unconscious than conscious. To the ancient Hindus and the Greeks, the poetic exercise is a religious act, and the poet invokes his muse and begins with a prayer. Ever read Homer? It is always a dialogue between the daimon and the psyche. The authors of the Vedic hymns regarded themselves as channels of something greater than they knew, instruments of a higher soul beyond themselves. They do not so much create the contents as contemplate them in their moments of deepest insight. Plato in his Symposium suggests a similar view. Aristotle says that the poet is either "happily gifted by nature" or "a bit of a maniac". Dante says: "I am one who, when love inspires, take note and as he dictates within me I express myself."

Isn't all this beautiful? Yes, it is.

The poetic experience is but momentary for the veil is redrawn and the mood of exaltation passes. The poet attempts a translation of the ineffable experience into words. While poetry is in the soul, the poem is a pale reflection of the original, an attempt to register in words an impression which has become an image in memory.

Here, dear virtual reader, I falter.
Here I have my tragedy: cannot ever be satisfied with my "registrations". There is something incommensurable in poetry, eluding my expression in words. The poetic temper is in all of us though only a few develop it. The poet has the gift, which fewer still have, of communicating the experience by words of immediate power which compel the wandering mind to respond to his appeal. It is truly difficult to translate states of soul into words and images. The success of art is measured by the extent to which it is able to render experiences of one dimension into terms of another.

The difference between a poet and a non-poet is that the experience of the former is larger and his verbal control greater. And an adequate control of technique is essential to the poet. Even in the act of composition the poet is in a state in which the reflective elements are subordinated to the intuitive. The vision, however, is not operative for so long as it continues, its very stress acts as a check on expression. The experience is recollected but not in tranquillity. Poetry is the language of excitement. For in recollecting the exciting experience, the poet recreates the conditions of its happening and identifies himself with it. The spell of the experience is still on the poet and under its influence he employs intuitive words and images which possess emotional value more than logical meaning. While poetry is not the vision itself, but only the image of it, still its quality depends on the degree with which it calls up the vision.

Let us then be poets together, and call up a vision to share....

~ I WISH YOU TO UNFOLD ME...

I wish you to unfold me
I wish you to hold me
I wish you to undress me
I wish you to bless me
I wish you to ravage me
I wish you to savage me
I wish you to blaze me
I wish you to daze me
I wish you to love me
love me to death
I wish you to smother me
smother me with your love
I wish you to inspire me
inspire me to sing
sing with you
together
where we can view
and feel
a garden of paradise

~ sung by Ray Forever...

~ UNTIE THE KNOT by Renu

Untie the knot for me
of your deep inner secrets
give me the key
of your inner fantasies
where u have been drowning
let me swim in the sea
of your dreams,desires and longings
let me unravel the mysteries
of your mind
thats made you blind
that been raging in you
tormenting you
spending you
lusting in you
bursting in you
come
touch me
and feel the peace
walk into your soul
the storm will cease
feel the calm
like a balm
stop searching
and yearning
feel my aura
embrace it
if you hug me close
you can share it

~ ARE YOU THE SIGH THAT ESCAPED FROM MY LIPS by Renu

Are you the sigh that escaped from my lips
Are you the moon that glimmers and then is eclipsed
Are you the flame that lit a fire in my heart
Are you my shadow which is with me, yet is apart

Are you the dew glistening in the verdant lawn
enveloping my heart, dark night foregone
Are you the flower filling the night with its perfume
receding in oblivion when the day blooms

Are you the wave that engulfs without warning
Are you the mist in the cold winter morning
that kissed disappearing with the sun out bright
Are you a dream that I dreamed last night

Are you the sunlight on which my dreams dance
playing havoc with their glimmer, ready to prance
Are you a storm that raged and pried
into my soul and then like a hurricane, died

Are you the drops of rain nourishing my mind
cleansing my spirit leaving it enshrined
Are you the moment that takes the soul
from darkness to light, making you whole

Whatever it is, I will continue in my quest
For love, till I find it, will not rest
Coz love is life, love is breath

~ UNTITLED by Renu

When do you want our breaths to meet?
When do you want our souls to touch?
When do you want to feel the heat?
And make me drunk on our love?

When do you want our gazes to entwine?
And then taste each others sweetness?
When do you want our dreams to be love lined?
When do you want to surrender to this madness?

~ HERE ARE MY EYES... by Renu

Here are my eyes
Drown them in yours...

Here are my lips
Eclipse them with yours...

Here is my skin
Dissolve it in yours...

Here is my heart
Unite it with yours...

Here is my soul
Possess it with yours...

Here is my spirit
Elevate it with yours....

Heres Me...
Yours, yours, yours....

~ LET'S REACH NEW HEIGHTS by Renu

Can you feel me?
Feel my spirit
Can you fill me?
Fill my emptiness
Can you stroke me?
Stroke my passion
Can you soak me?
Soak my throbbing
Can you hold me?
Hold the lightness of my soul
Can you behold me?
Behold the beauty that is within
Can you touch me?
Touch me and make me whole
Can you hear me?
singing through my skin
Can you see me ?
dancing with delight
Can you guide me?
Show me the light
Can you merge with me?
Lets reach new heights

~ MY MESSAGE by Trisha Evensen

Crack the layer
Of frozen pain
You acquired around your heart

Live your life for each moment
Breathe in spring air
And revel in the beauty
Surrounding your world

Love one another
Live with passion in your heart
And a fire in your soul

~ I DO

Je t'aime toujours

I love
Oh how I love!
I do love
Love me
I love you
You love
I love
We love
Where’s my love?
Reach for me
My Love
I love you
Oh
How I love you!
Do love me
Please, do
I love you
Yes, I do.

~ CARESSING

Stroke my lobes
Fondle the membranes
Of my pleasure.
Murmur sweetness
In my ears
And I will
Respond in kind.

~ I WANTED

In the amaranth morning
I wanted to be a heart.
A heart.

And in the ripe evening
I wanted to be a nightingale.
A nightingale.

In the vivid morning
I wanted to be myself.
A heart.

And at the evening's end
I wanted to be my voice.
A nightingale.

Soul,
turn blood red.
Soul,
turn the color of love.

~ HAPPINESS

In the blue summer days
I will stroll my spiritual paths
Pricked by corn
And treading on soft grass
Dreaming
I’ll feel the coolness in my feet
I’ll let the wind mist my naked head

I won’t speak
I won’t think
But infinite love
Will arouse
My soul
And I’ll go far
Far away indeed
Like a vagabond
Through Nature and Mind
Happy as a sexless angel.

~ La Chanson de Aïcha

Comme si je n'existais pas
Elle est passée à côté de moi
Sans un regard reine de Saba
J'ai dit Aïcha prends tout est pour toi
Voici les perles les bijoux
Aussi l'or autour de ton cou
Les fruits bien mûrs au goût de miel

Ma vie Aïcha si tu m'aimes
J'irais où ton souffle nous mène
Dans les pays d'ivoire et d'ébène
J'effacerais tes larmes tes peines
Rien n'est trop beau pour une si belle oh !

Aïcha Aïcha écoute-moi
Aïcha, Aïcha t'en vas pas
Aïcha Aïcha regarde-moi
Aïcha Aïcha réponds-moi

Je dirais les mots les poèmes
Je jouerais les musiques du ciel
Je prendrais les rayons du soleil
Pour éclairer tes yeux de rêves

Elle a dit garde tes trésors
Moi je vaux mieux que tout ça
Des barreaux sont des barreaux même en or
Je veux les mêmes droits que toi
Du respect pour chaque jour moi je ne veux que l'amour

Aïcha Aïcha écoute-moi
Aïcha, Aïcha t'en vas pas
Aïcha Aïcha regarde-moi
Aïcha Aïcha écoute-moi
Aïcha Aïcha réponds-moi

~ LA MUSIQUE ADOUCIT

The melody
of uncharted algorithms
leading
to my torment,
aspires to placate
the void
of my vacant
mind.

Why do you
return
to clutch my heart
like
an obsessive tide?

~ QUAGMIRE

This one you can sing at night, with your guitar on a beach thinking about lost love...

Oh night! Oh night!
That your pleasures be my guide
Born for darkness not for light
Around, around, to smell your sight

Oh night! Oh moonless night!
I drown in your eyes full of fire
While waiting for your bite
To burn your body in desire

Dreadful night,
Bring me death not life
Shall I be by your side
Or drown forever in a mire?

~ EAT ME

When you have withdrawn
your self and the magic, when
only the smell of your
love lingers between
my legs, then, only
then, can I greedily consume
your presence.

~ VANISHING ACT

First, you cleansed me,
arriving as fire, as savage flood.
Next you tore me,
your cougar tooth,
your griffon claw,
limbs scattering like grass
in the garden of a great wind.
Then you made love to me,
night after night of unendurable
agony and passion.
Ruined by your beauty,
I have vanished,
fled into the nothingness
of who I am.

~ MYSTERY UNRESOLVED

You came into my life
like a wing of fire,
possessing and possessed
by something not seen.

When you first spoke
my books turned to clay,
and my throat closed
around a lost sonnet.

Your eyes burned over me,
leaving scars of rapture,
my spirit became a field
swept clean by flame.

Can you think how it was
that morning I woke first,
and found you,
an unbound mystery
by my side.

The air here now holds only emptiness,
a little dust stirring.
I think there will be wind tonight,
and owls will hoot
to distress my solitary sleep.

~ I AM I

I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Vanished as a sprite in a tale,
Missing as an albatross at sea.

Oh please!
Plunge me deep in love
Put out my senses,
Leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by a tempest
I cannot find.

~ PHOTOGRAPH

In the camera obscura
Of my simmering passions
The maggots of pain
Consume my equilibrium
While the acids of greed
Burn holes in my soul.

But you, magnificent loupe
Through the crimson film
Of fracturing light
Expose your generous smile
And develop my healing.

~ ASSISTANCE

The crutches
In my heart
Are
Stilts
In my brain
When
I prepare myself
For
Unrequited love

~ Filles

Filles
Shall we fly
On the wings of daring Icarus?

Filles
Shall we kiss
The lips of sweeping clouds
And leave ugliness behind?

Filles
Shall we lose
Our inner virginity
To sensuous Eden?

~ GREEK AUSTRALIS

In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded.
Lost discoverer, in you everything sinks.

You girdled sorrow, you cling to desire,
sadness stuns you, in you everything sinks.

I make the wall of shadow draw back,
beyond desire and act, I walk on.

Oh flesh, my own flesh, woman whom I love and lose,
I summon you in the moist hour, I raise my song to you.

Like a jar you house infinite tenderness,
and the infinite oblivion shatters you like a jar.

There is the black solitude of Aegean islands,
and there, woman of love, your antipodean arms take me in.

~ ALL

I contain all there is,
I am filled with the all.
Take of me all
If you want all.
I am Love,
Who am filled with the all:
What you want,
I want,
Tell me all,
I give you all:
Nakedly.

~ REACH

If you give me life
I will live it my way
I will learn, I will listen,
I will hear and understand.
I'll do all that I can.


If you give me love
I will love you back.
I will tolerate and appreciate
every moment that we spent.
I'll love, I will give and take.


For what I want is to be
free to choose, to disagree.
So when you give
You give it all.
Without pressure, without control.


I decide to think for me.
To take control of my destiny
And what I learn , I will teach.
I'll help you grow, but I won't preach
I won't demand, I'll help you reach.

~ ESCLAMATION

The moon wide open.
Horse of still clouds,
and the grey ring of dreams
with willows on the riverbank.

I will not see you!

Let my memory kindle!
Warm the jasmines
of such minute whiteness!

I will not see you!

The phantasm of the ancient world
passed her sad tongue
over a tear of blood
spilled on the sand
of recollection.

I will not see you!

Partly death and partly stone,
bellowed like two centuries
sated with treading the earth,
I am the strangler
of your dreams.

Now I will see you!
As I erupt with my seeding force.

~ AMOUR GITAN

Gypsy, let me lift your skirt
and have a look at you.
Open in my ancient fingers
the blue rose of your womb.

Picaresque woman
Let the virile wind pursue you
with his breathing and burning sword
while the beats of my heart
skip with every kiss.

The sea darkens and roars,
while the olive trees turn pale.
The flutes of night sound,
and a muted sigh of the snow
whispers your breath.

Gypsy, run, my love!
Or the green wind will catch you!
Gypsy, run, my love!
And look how fast he comes:
A satyr of lowborn stars
with their glistening tongues.

Gypsy, run, my love!
And my arms will possess you
with an ethereal mantle of passion
when the solitary rose of your mouth
will sedate the worm of my despair.
