Who says this love
Will set you free
When that love
Knows the beauty of jail
Who says this love
Is a consuming fire
When that love
Is a river of bliss
Who says this love
Is the light of God
When that love
Is dark Mystery
Who says this love
The soul hungers for
When that love
Devours the false
Here is the secret
Of this and that

Past midnight
The moon crept in

Announcing Your arrival
Grumbling
Accompanied my hasty departure
 
On the bare roof
Sheer
Night-sky majesty
Flooding me
With gratitude

Down
Down
Down
Into the depths
Of the human condition
Down
Into the saline depths
A shower of tears
A river of tears
An ocean of tears

Births a real human being
Blesses the soul
Frees the heart
A radiance
From the [...]

Seeking love with heart sincere
a bloodied child sheds a tear
Our cause is just, the course won’t veer
such hypocrites, we have no peer
From global wars to marriage spats
righteousness wears white hats
And just like hissing alley cats

Every morning
The sun
Entices the tulip
Out of herself
Petals wide open
To Living Daylight
Beauty dances
With radiance
One day
Will open her
Completely
To birth
A nightingale

From everywhere
All directions

The road to devastation
Takes many forms
Insignificance
Is another’s greatest calamity
Don’t judge the result
By the route
The devastated know
Total
Is

J Harper
The way of love is not a subtle argument.
The door there is devastation.
Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom.
How do they learn it?
They fall, and falling, they’re given wings.

The price for peace
Is your life of
Pain & suffering
Worry & agitation
Fear & emptiness
Petty thoughts & needs
The dull drab monotonous
No wonder
So few
Are willing
To pay

The problem with in-laws
Is the concern
For their family values
Not you
The mind’s orientation
Toward the soul
