Mouth of the Beast

 

MOUTH OF THE BEAST

The sea was angry,
Smashing anything that came its
Way as it crashed onto the shore.
And my thoughts were thrashing,
Because I didn’t know if I really loved him,
Or if he truly loved me,
And if our union was worth the time anymore.
So I told him to jump into the dangerous waters
To prove his love for me.
And without counting to three,
He tore off his pants and peeled off his sleeves,
Then ran into the ferocious sea –
Where the waves swallowed him and spit him out
They bashed him a hundred times,
And forced him underneath to swallow the salt.
He struggled to get out.
Gasping for air, he began to shout out his love for me,
And that’s when I knew it was he who meant nothing to me –
For had my heart truly loved him,
It would have never sent him running straight
Into the mouth of a beast.

The Mother as Goddess

KINGDOM OF THE WOMB

 

From her thighs, she gives you life
And how you treat she who gives you life
Shows how much you value the life given to you by the Creator.
And from seed to dust
There is ONE soul above all others –
That you must always show patience, respect, and trust
And this woman is your mother.
And when your soul departs your body
And your deeds are weighed against the feather
There is only one soul who can save yours
And this woman is your mother.
And when the heart of the universe
Asks her hair and mind,
Whether you were gentle and kind to her
Her heart will be forced to remain silent
And her hair will speak freely as a separate entity,
Very much like the seaweed in the sea –
It will reveal all that it has heard and seen.

This woman whose heart has seen yours,
First before anybody else in the world,
And whose womb had opened the door
For your eyes to experience light and more –
Is your very own MOTHER.
So, no matter whether your mother has been cruel,
Manipulative, abusive, mentally sick, or simply childish
How you treat her is the ultimate test.
If she misguides you, forgive her and show her the right way
With simple wisdom, gentleness, and kindness.
And always remember,
That the queen in the Creator’s kingdom,
Who sits on the throne of all existence,
Is exactly the same as in yours.
And her name is,
THE DIVINE MOTHER.

The Three Bees

THE THREE BEES

A young boy once asked
A wealthy beekeeper:
“What is the secret of
Your success?”
The beekeeper simply smiled
And replied:

“To be successful,
One has to be one of three bees:
The queen bee,
The hardest working bee,
Or the bee that does not fit in.
One success is inherited,
And the next one is earned.
While the last one is
Self-sought,
Self-served,
And happens on its own
Terms.”

“And which bee are you?”
Asked the boy.
The beekeeper then wiped
The sweat from his head
And said:
“The last may seem the riskiest,
But the glory of achievement
Is the most rewarding.
Freedom always comes at a high cost,
But only when you are
Your own boss,
Can you truly
Afford it.”

Faith is the Emperor of Dreams

FAITH IS THE EMPEROR OF DREAMS

A great emperor is born from one tiny sperm.
A large eagle grows from one small egg.
A giant tree grows from one tiny seedling.
For the newborn and wise,
Everything begins small.
However, it is faith that builds
The staircase to your dreams.
Always have faith in yourself
And the universe –
For one will not get you anywhere
Without the other.
Both must be equally strong to reach your desires,
For they are the wings that will lift you
To your dreams.
Not a single bird makes its first leap From a tree without faith.
And not a single animal in the jungle
Starts each day without faith.
Faith is the flame that eliminates fear,
And faith is the true emperor
Of dreams.

Reflections of Truth

The Way of Truth

THE WAY OF TRUTH

When you crave the answer to any divine question,
And are prepared to abandon yourself
To Truth and Time to know it,
You must first train yourself to distinguish
All that is untrue to get to Truth,
And to do so,
Learn to interpret every word and line
With the heart and mind of
A poet.

The language of Light
Can only be decoded by the heart,
And it has a very luminous
Mind and eye of its own.
However, if there is no truth in you,
You will not be able to see or recognize Truth,
So to you, nothing true will ever be
Known.

So learn to use your heart to recognize Truth
By dissecting it with the brightest light
As it was intended to be shone.
This is the only way,
The right way of Truth,
And the only way it
Will ever be
Shown.

Part Sun and Moon

This poem is a piece of work from 2008, which was later published in my book in 2010. A good man named Matt has recently turned it into a beautiful work of art. For that reason, I would like to share it again.

Cause and Effect

You can give a man who has never given you a good word,
Volumes of knowledge.
And you can give a man who has never given you a gift,
A thousand gifts.
You can give that same man who has never given you a
Blessing,
A thousand blessings.
And you can offer that same man who has never
Offered a hand to help you grow,
Seeds to help him grow a garden.
And while you have never seen true
Kindness from his direction,
You still offer to help him up –
Even though in the end,
He only wants to be the hand that
Pulls you down.
Do not worry, my friends.
Cause and effect was written by
The stars of the universe.
He who passes suffering onto others,
Will also have that suffering passed
Onto his own children.
Gifts he feels he should have in the
Next lifetime will be unobtainable.
And the help he needs to grow in the
Next lifetime will be unavailable.
And the people he cuts down that
Were good to him,
Will cut him down in the next lifetime.
What goes around does come back
Again,
Even through your children.
There is a vibrational effect
In every action,
Just as there is
A vibration that rings
From every letter
In every word.
No cause occurs without effect,
And no effect occurs without cause.
No unjust action goes without penalty,
And no action or thought
Flows unnoticed
Throughout
The universe.

The Heat Burns My Eyes

SKIES OVER CAIRO

At dawn,
The ghostly
Call for prayer
Resonates
Throughout
Cairo’s
Ancient
Graveyard –
Stirring
A haunting,
Yet heavenly
Song
That moves
The roosters
And doves
To
Tears.

The start of
A new day
Has begun,
And the clouds
Humbly part way
For the majestic rays
Of the
Magnificent
Sun.

Yellows,
Reds and gold
Explode
Over the sedated horizon
And a child’s
Smearing of
Pressed hibiscus,
Mangoes,
And peaches,
Kisses a silhouette
Of minarets
From which the angels
Come out to pour
Love into the skies.

The children
Of the pharaohs
Rise and wash the sleep
From their eyes.
Then they synergize in line
And say thanks to the light.

Yes,
They say thanks to the light
Then they sip their tea,
Curse the heat
Before stepping out to
Meet it
Outside.

Under
The blistering tableau
Above the
City line –
One can see
The fiery strokes
Of a blazing fire.
Its reflection
Is detected
In the eyes and hearts
Of Egypt’s natives,
When the
Hustling streets of Cairo
Are bustling
With
Need and
Desire.

Of the Pharaohs
Rise and wash the sleep

Awe Them With Your Claws

YOUR GREATER ANIMAL

They say that if you are
Ever confronted by
A lion or bear,
To never act scared
Instead act like
You are the greater animal
And that they’re
The hare
That you are about
To tear.

This has been
Proven
And compared.
This is how presidents
Are loved
And feared.
Each one of us has an animal
Within us
That is armed with
Mental,
Physical or
Spiritual gifts
That could shoot spears
Through the air.

So next time
You are confronted in
A fight that seems unfair,
Just remember the lion and the bear.
MAGNIFY
Your greater animal
And all that feel your magnificence
Will step away
And disappear.

Saturn’s Symphony

She doesn’t alarm me

Lady Harmony
When she rests her hand
Between you and me-
Blue and green
Sand and marine
Swimming in a wave
Of reality
Drowning in
Amarna’s distant dream.
An ancient Queen
And her
King supreme
Two immortal souls
Of the 5th beam –
Flowing in the 7th stream.
Slipping in each other’s sweat
And bathing in
Breaths of steam.

Feet to feet
Two cats in heat
Dancing like wild savages
In a sacred desert retreat
Two souls merging,
Into

ONE
Sublime
And divine
Entity.

I can feel your heart’s beat.

Says Lady Harmony.

She then throws us
Into thunderous throes
Complete with pounding wind

And animalistic tones
She watches us moan –
In the flame of twins
Shin to shin
Skin on skin
Pouring light made of crystalline
Salt mixed in with
Musk and leather
Creating our own
Pharaonic storm –
Our own bionic
And sonic weather
Fully blown
On a horizontal throne
Full of turbulence
And aural pleasures
Her hand caresses our vessels

Like the blessings from

A falcon’s feathers

Sending us to galactic heights

Mending our lights together

Forever

Then while pulling on Passion’s lever

She reveals Isis’s lapis
Box filled with
Erotic and oral treasures
Lips crushing

The Nile ever gushing
In a moment

Blushing

And complete.
Lady Harmony –
She always charms me
Whenever we do meet
In repeat.
Her moves are fleeting
When two souls are
Greeting
In Saturn’s sensual
Symphony.
