The Peace of Losing You

The Peace of Losing You How my heart was dashed The rock of your unskillful goodbye! How my love prayed For your release From fear! How my hope smiles At your eventual return. I am learning to serve you better Next reunion. My knowing of your inner beauty Assures me you shall make high decisions On behalf of your highest Self And the Unified Selves of Others. © 2007 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.

For Too Many Days

For Too Many Days For too many days, I have heard nothing from you, Beloved. What am I to think? Sometimes I fear you are depressed; That you need me now, more than ever. Sometimes I fear I hurt you, But, I truly have no idea how? I do know in my deepest Heart That I would sacrifice much Not to hurt you! Please speak with me, my Love. Consign me not to this loneliness forever. Surely there must be some Way We have not yet seen. I stand in Peace now glowing For I know we touched each other's... Sign in to see full entry.

Deep Is the Love I Have for You

Deep Is the Love I Have for You Deep, is the love I have for you; Like a silent river in the depths Of my Soul. Full, is my heart when we are together. Profound is the pain When you parted. True, is the light I feel from you. You make me want To Be a better man. Blessed, are the thoughts I have for you. You have taught me to Only number the days Spent in joy, with you. In the hope and faith of love I await your sweet return, Assured by Divine Truth Our Unity by this mad separation, Will rise,... Sign in to see full entry.

i Am Love Made Manifest

i Am Love Made Manifest You will feel God's Love When you no longer outline What it should look like. Love is reflected in all form, All Thought, All Action, Every Moment. God does not make a mistakes! Even when you did a blunder; Love did That! Caterpillars would never become Butterflies If they knew they must liquefy in the cocoon. Caterpillars trust God That Is Why We Have Butterflies! © 2007 Noosphere Communications Sign in to see full entry.

My Heart Aches for the presence of you

My Heart Aches for the Presence of You Cut off from your presence, beloved; Shall I go mad? Shall I be yet another victim? Shall my heart recover from this sad? It is the not knowing how my imperfections Resulted in such pain in you, Which storms tears of anguish Within. I only know I love you; Please forgive me For whatever is going on inside me That manifests as offense. I only know I must hold you In the Light. 'Til you see my Diamond Heart, Contrite with upright Love for You! Blessings, my... Sign in to see full entry.

The Angels Rushed Through The Woods Today

The Angels Rushed Through The Woods Today The Angels rushed through the woods today. Or, Perhaps it was some wood sprites. The first band marched through, Murshida in the lead. The were followed, soon enough, by the playful Ones. They seemed to be racing for the tops of the trees. Going for the best view. This, I know is true: That all were heading for the open fields To watch another Sun falling behind the spinning earth. Sunset arrives, sweetly ending another day. Shams is reduced to silence...

A Rumi Inspired Poem

I come to Life's pizza buffet A Beggar, with ravenous hunger, A patient/less guest At the Banquet of Life and Truth "Oh, you pious ones, Pray over this pizza!!" "For myself, let my taste buds say my prayer. Let my stomach say 'Amen'". "Oh proper guests, please, Shine forth in your properness, And let me eat!" "If you are not bringing the latest warm dish, Do not bother my communion with Allah; I have come to eat And be satisfied!" © 1996 Shamsuddin Jim Norton Sign in to see full entry.

Try to Remember your first significant conflict with your latest lover.

Try to Remember your first significant conflict with your latest lover. Do you remember your heart cracking open? Or was your experience just immediate anger? You made her coffee and set it on the bedsted. You worked on loving her body Until she could no longer find any pain. Then you cooked a hot breakfast While she played in the garden Of her land. "How was it then, That her Love for friend, Created this Ire?, That Now Hast broken me," Whimpers my bleeding heart. "In love I created this? Where... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling Fall

Feeling Fall I am feeling fall in a fresh way. It is the multi-colored benediction of summer. It is the rainbow introit of winter's holy sleep. My prayers are crisper now. The words do not matter so much. It is more the opening Of Heart. My longing is deeper now. I am ready for the quietude of winter's rest. I rest in the Silence of Thee, Most Infinite, Most Holy, Supreme Only. Fall fills me with the feeling of You. © 2007 Shams-i Sign in to see full entry.

Hearken to the Reed Forlorn

H earken to the R eed F orlorn Hearken to the Reed forlorn, Ever since it was torn From the rushy be of Reeds; In plaintiff song it bleeds. Listen to The Lover's Heart Longing for Its Sacred Home. How it wails and cries and sings. Oh, Beloved, hum my part. That I might sing along. This Longing laughs at Life's success. There is nothing, nothing, nothing; Only You, Beloved. I will sing until you come. © 2007 Shams-i- Sign in to see full entry.

Fall Breeze

Fall Breeze Peddling toward the setting sun I create the soft breeze That caresses my face. The fall air smells clean, Crisp with preparation for winter. The sun paints the canvass sky. This Breath; Perfect! This Moment; Passing, Peddle by peddle. © 2007 Noosphere Comunications Sign in to see full entry.

Get Ready For a Great Adventure

Get Ready For a Great Adventure Get ready for a great adventure! Passion is calling you. Take a walk in the woods This morning-time. Listen to those wise old voices; The trees are calling you. Walk in the garden alone; Breezes are calling your name. The flowers smile as you pass by. Walk in nature's grand cathedral Let Awe-filled silence Open your knowing eye. Oh sweet progeny of God, Let the sunlit dew Kindle your inner flame. Know the joy of this world Beyond form and name. © 2007... Sign in to see full entry.
