Writing helps focus the mind, and for many, keeping a diary is therapeutic.

A short poem is a drop of the divine, a brief, brilliant flash. An emotion surges, you create an image, and the jewel is born, plucked out of thought-flow, rubbed and polished to its innate glow. Haiku is like that. Intrinsically beautiful! Some see the beauty and others do not. Moreover, poetry is a personal experience. Theres no saying what will touch the heart, the senses, the brain, and why. Haiku and Other Micropoetry would appeal to many people who have had idyllic childhoods in a wo...

It is a painting of a Yeats poem, a canvas of a dark night where, in a star-lit glade, he wishes for the cloth of Heaven. And yes, this cloth are many stars.She, watching the painting, can see them spread before her, but she of the picture does not see these stars and she treads on the starry cloth. His cloth. His dreamed cloth. For he dreams this cloth, and she treads on his dreams and she does not tread lightly but tramples these stars with unseeing feet. His stars, his desire. S...

I have been working, feeling, seeing in recent months the infinitesimal boundary between ourself and the sublime. And like Xeno's paradox, the oh-so-thin veneer DOES disappear. And then and only then do true poems come out.All the writing I have ever done, is just a means of wearing away that layer: being ever closer to the moment, the moment that does not end.And if these poems are conduits to the sublime, then so is every man and every woman.Peace. Begin.-...

Love is like the fragrance of a rose, the petals of a flower. It is a very precious essence. Its like waking up in the morning and feeling the freshness of spring, especially when you were a little child, when you didnt have a care in the world. And the birds were singing, the sky was blue and the clouds were billowy. And all you had to be concerned with was the grass and flowersplaying and springtime.

What is "Time"? Time is merely a symbol of our limitations. It is a single factor which relegates us from the divine existence. We all live in time that is why we are so frustrated.But if you are really in love then you can have the glimpses of what is beyond the time. Suddenly the time plunges into the beauty of her eyes.P.S. It is the journey of consciousness to the "Liberation"."Vacuum" ...

Largely I was "moved" to w...

PrefaceThis collection of poetry was written roughly between 2005 and 2010. I have put the book together in a way that is enjoyable one poem at a time or also as a whole. The poems are arranged by subject within the chapters, but they are also arranged from beginning to end to reflect a journey. This journey moves through darkness to light, with romance, anger, and sex in the middle. Be warned, it gets a bit graphic towards the end of the second chapter, but all within the beauty o...
