Position of Power

I am taking away the
memory of love from love
definition of success from success
the adjectives and nouns
that connect relation and responsibility to faces.
I have shaken up
the correlation called knowledge
and destroyed it's warehouses called history.

I am juicing them all out
enjoying the overflowing Rasa,
till the time they just are ....

I am taking away the past and its role 

in evolving the definitions of present.

I am taking away foresight
from experiences and am
evolving from reading books to talking to trees
.... from running behind a career to chasing squirrels.

I am the meaningful me
and you the otherwise of me.
Peace is power and my being a bliss now.

First Sunday of May 2022

Of the things that I love most is watching !
I watch myself as I move from day to day
Carrying an infinite joy
Transcendence and certitude

I watch myself being hated and loved
the helplessness of not knowing where we are headed
Your annoyance while you fix my house & lunches
togetherness and separations coincide
the blister from your finger in my heart reside

My vagrant heart owns nothing
I do not know how the rest of the world does
but in this living of hatred, in jealousy, in disgust,
in the silence, there is the love that I need
Watching it growing the distance between us
is ink to reflections and a poem I weave each day.
