If someone said I’m Sorry

If someone said I’m Sorry If someone said, “I’m sorry.” Would you be too hurt and angry To move your Heart toward love? If someone said, “You hurt me.” Would you take the time together To find out where you’re One? If someone said, “I hate you!” Would you rise above their anger To see their deep felt hurt? If someone said, “Go to Hell!” Would you see that Heaven only exists To welcome all souls home? If someone said, “You are God.” Would you smile and respond, So, my friend are you? If death...

Truth Can Burn

The Truth Is... No, I cannot... Dare not speak It. For Truth that burns Is not Truth Unless, by the Grace of Miracle, It burns completely! © 2007 Shams Sign in to see full entry.

Blessings to You

Blessings to You Blessings to you, Dear One. We failed to make the grade So sad and hurt And, glad we played. I saw the diamond of your Heart. I grieve that I well hid my own. You did your best, Could not have known. I have no doubt That one day The scales of Separating blindness Will fall away From both our eyes As truth and love Remind us. Until that day I shall pray That Mercy, only, Bind us. © 2007 Shams-i Sign in to see full entry.

Deep Enough to Frame

This confession And Apology Comes from the deep heart-well Where this 'Still Small Voice' Speaks only Love, Only Beauty, Only forgiving Harmony. For each mean moment, I sorrow, truly, Hoping you can forgive. Free yourself from the flaws Of my unlearning. Let there be no more burning. Take a cup from the Beloved's Well. Taste full, the cooling Sweetness, Purity refreshed. For every angry mood Or word Or Action, Forgive me, if you will. For my mastery is minuscule, My shame is great. Be free of my...

Honoring Tobacco

Breeze, dancing leaves, Making light, burdens of mind. Breath, Oh this precious Infilling of lungs revivified; Renewing purity After thirty plus years, Less each time I was able To surrender blessings of tobacco For blessings of sweet air. Thank you Earth. Thank you Sun. In this awareness We are One. The stretch of time Collapses As times's pressures Are relieved. Now, only here. Here, only now. This moment is enough. Love fills this eternal NOW. © 2007 Shams Sign in to see full entry.

Ya Khabir

Ya Khabir Ya Khabir, All Knowing From the Source Within. Ya Khabir, Oh Lord and Liege, Oh Holy Blessed One, The depth and height Of ‘just plain folk’.

Let us dwell diminished In Yh Khabir. © 2007 Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

The Anarchy of the Internet

The Anarchy of the Internet It was heard upon the news today, ‘The anarchy of the internet’. Apparently, some us are more comfortable With this chaos than others. It turns out, so they say, That liberals feel more secure, More at home, in this egalitarian Noosphere Than those who clutch To preserve the past, The ‘Good Old Days’ That never last. If that be so, I do not know; But, this I know for sure If it be true that liberal reigns Across the Tronic Globe, Then ours is the future and ours is... Sign in to see full entry.

No Excuse for Play'n Games

No Excuse for Play'n Games Offer no excuse for play'n games, my dear. You make my life more fun. No reason for a defense, My Sweetness You make my life lighter. No need to be judged as the symphony's sour note. Your Heartsong delights me. Let us dwell no longer, Upon this lack. Let Light fill the Silence, Let us say no more. © 2007 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.

The Light Keeps Shining

The Light Keeps Shining Ya Nur 1 Ya Minour 2 Oh Holy Inner Light, That flows unceasingly In the subterranean channels Of the Holy sanctuary of my Heart, Oh Holy Peace, In the Holy Silence Of my Heartcave, Launch me as a blessing In the bow of Living Presence. May, I ever be In wordless contact, On every breath, With Thee. Let me see You in every eye. Let me open to You On every breath. Let the Light of Thy Truth Be reflected in the Hearts Of Thy Devotees. © 2007 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.

Rise Above All Politics of Fear

Rise Above All Politics of Fear Do NOT feed the fear that killed your son. Turn not away from his tragic, mangled, broken shell, Rather look long and hard At the false fears that have reunited you in this is final goodbye. It is merely fear that make ‘us’ and ‘them’. Fear is the womb of Naffs’ foolish pride Separating soul from soul from Soul. Fear gives mandate to our leaders Declaring war on all we do not like. Terror is birthed in desperation that greed will never change. Never, will a... Sign in to see full entry.

It Is a Day

It Is a Day It is a day of cleansing. It is a day of sometimes heavy rain. It is a day of growing. It is a day; the sun comes not in vain. It is a day of lusting. It is a day of Spring, come strong. It is a day of slowing. It is a day by summer, long. It is a day for singing. It is a day of Music in the air. It is a day of dancing. It is a day; let feet step light and fair. © 2007 Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

Addicted to Light

Addicted to Light They say there are Yogis Who Can live only on Light. Oh help me desire only Thy Light. In each precious breath, I inhale Ya Nur I Breathe out Your shining.

May All Beings, Be Happy; May All Beings, Be Free from Strife. May All Beings Be Filled with Love, This day, for ever more. © 2007 Shams Sign in to see full entry.

Been Hard At It and Lost

Been Hard At It and Lost Been hard at It, and lost On the sea of competing details. Hard to believe For 23 days and nights I have not graced this Self With a Poem. Was I waiting for water tables to rise? Or Was I neglecting my trips to the Well? Does it matter? Or Is this awareness enough? Shams says: “I am glad to be in this breath again.” © 2007 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.
