Peace: An Enchanted Moment and Place

There is a place;
Amidst the noise and hustle,
As the busy afternoon welcomes the setting sun:
Where waves gently caress the enduring sands
Of time immemorial, 
In a ritual gesture that has been repeated for millennia.

I relocate;
Existing beyond very time and space to this place,
And only in this place do I glimpse peace:
If only for just a moment in time,
Blessed by the gentle rays of cosmic fire
Descending into the western sky.

Enchanted by serenity;
As the troubles of the mind dissolve,
Willfully encouraged by the encroaching stillness: 
That lure of the night,
Of being kissed by moonlight
Within the nurturing embrace of starlight.

Kindness

Being kind should be
Like second nature;
Humility should come through
In every gesture.
Forethought and deliberation
Do not define kindness.
It should be an innate virtue
That is effortless.

The best part about
Being kind to other people,
Is that life will return the favour;
And make your own happiness double.
Be kind, even to the people
Who don’t deserve your kindness.
So they can see life’s better side
And clear their mind’s mess.

Cosmic Declaration

The light of the dawn proclaims the promise:
Each day I am renewed and restored.
As my heart rests upon the scales of justice,
In my soul only doing good deeds are adored.

The way is made to open before me;
I am protected and at peace along life’s journey.
All of my battles are conquered daily,
I sit upon a throne of triumph and victory.

Wisdom attends my every thought,
Fate is made manifest by my speech.
With abundant love and blessings of every sort,
It gives great joy to educate; inspire and teach.

The Queen, Intrinsically

Into my mind, 
She navigates --
The crowded stillness; 
Inciting 
Fresh perspectives, 
Within the recesses
Of my unresolved thought;
Refreshing discoveries uncovered 
Of every sort.

Within the deep unconscious,
Emotions 
Not yet ennobled to the level of thought;
Long to give life 
To words -- yearning to be uttered,
All perchance this poetic expression
Remain but a dream;
As only philosophical thought 
Reigns supreme.

Into that place, 
Like a sunbeam --
Through a chasm;
Her illumination
Intrinsically catalytic in nature
Truly 
Is one of a kind.
Radiating into those depths, 
Oh the heights of intensity I find!

The Evening

Quiet evening.

Enchanted by the moments;

Mellow but comforting,

Softly conversing,

Bliss.

The King is Dead!

In the days of old, kings were the sole face of authority.
Kingdoms would go to war,
For power, love, peace and security.
The image of a king was necessary,
To keep a stable monarchy.
At the coronation of a king,
With joy the maidens would sing;
But in the chaos of a tragedy,
The trumpets would sound, high upon a mound:
The king is dead. Long live the king!

As the world aged, politics took precedent over love.
Modern kings rose out of ordinary men,
Monarchy queens hold rule on their own.
Mourning now customary;
Immediate re-marriage no longer a necessity;
The ability to contemplate the past and the loss,
The future calculated and not left to a toss;
But the bachelor-predators pound,
Before dirt could cover the corpse in the ground:
The king is dead. But, long live...the eligible queen!

They say the dead are at peace;
But even the dead can be haunted by the living!
However, any day come now
The haunting will cease;
For it is but a symbolic death;
The catalyst for the process of resurrection and rebirth -
Of transformation into the twice born.
For the king lives... eternally!

Em hotep.

Love Magic! (You and I)

We did make magic 
You and I!
From the moment 
That we first connected;
From that very first kiss 
Un-rejected.
A spark of love combusted 
And in our divine world 
We were anointed.

We couldn’t understand it at first 
You and I!
So different 
Were we two;
But yet so ready 
To say I do.
It’s amazing 
The depths of love I fell into 
And the joy I explored with you.

We stand before a crossroad in time 
You and I!
Faced, only with 
The power of choice;
Gifted only with free will 
For which, the lords in the heavens rejoice.
The absolute future 
Hasn’t yet found 
Nor uttered its voice.

We took a sweet stroll along life’s path 
You and I!
My heart fills with 
Bitter-sweet emotions for whom you've become,
My soul -- not sure 
If our story is quite but done.
Memories of the magic 
Still fuel a waning knights hope 
Of an unborn sun.

Em heka!
