The divine emptiness
“Be present” (HJB)

Why we meet?
then be forced to part…
Why full moon?
then crescent moon…

Why you fill me?
then let me go
The emptiness
fills me again
The invisible Tantra intimacy
reveals itself
at night
and I feel
I am the one.

I can be everyone
at day
Only the emptiness
appears
when it’s not night or day
when I am not here or there
I am divided
to be in three worlds,
three states
Awaken to be no one
nowhere
beyond the timeline

What remains
the sensation of ever Samadhi
within my stillness.
What remains
just the scent of a fresh mint leaf
that stirs my spirit

Love in moonlight
Love in sunshine
Love is source of endless energy
Love is religion of all human beings.

So soft to flow in the river
So strong to wave in the ocean
So hard to freeze
So high to fly in a cloud
So deep to stay in the heart of the earth…
Water – Wisdom
Life as water.

I wish to store all these tormented memories
in a secret box.
Hide it inside me,
so I can live normally

But every night it wakes me up
in a sweet, painful longing for you
Why are we together,
at the same time very far away?

I lull my heart every night,
pretend to see the sweetness in the lost proximity
in the lost kisses
the lost touches…

The regret of all those losses
Will it drown me in an ocean of misery?
The beauty of love
Will it burn away this heart?

How many people sit on the chair?
How many chairs have a people sat on during an entire life?

We come together
thanks also to the chair

a chair to familiarize with a random ride
a chair to speak love in dim-moon park
the chair melted into each other in the empty house

when the two of us sit on the sublime heaven
someone will hold the chair struggling to sink into hell

the love chair sowed the seeds of life
the seat of power that swallowed so many people’s lives.
