Beautiful Spirit of the Beloved

“Spirit Traveler”  Painting by Rassouli

This sacred timeless moment
wears the face of love
as light curls around me
soft transparent tenderness
fills the room
spirit with spinning energy

My Beloved
is my sweet home
there is no waiting for words
to create what I feel
for love has turned from
its graceful flight
anointing my existence
with majestic
elegance
lifting the mystical veil
and placing a robe
of golden light around
my shoulders

Love comes in the night
expands in the dawn
and spreads
the glow of the beloved
in a burst of breathless splendor
before me and around me
within me
as a blazing world flames out
surrounding and flooding
everything
with a cooling celestial sea
of luminous light.

Whose eyes are these
who perceive
this glory
dwelling within me
beholding
such revelation

Who writes these words
to convey what human eyes
could never see
What spirit moves the life
within my womb

Who fills this cup with vintage wine
brimming and anointing
my grateful heart
reigning over my reality
with a crown and scepter
spun from a golden ray
of the sun

My maiden heart surrenders
to this Lord of Love in
humble adoration
and devotion
yet turns to face
the Beloved
soul to Soul
as i am swept like the wind
into moments of grace

No dream is this as I wander
in golden skies
of the Beloved’s eyes
aware of divine breath
breathing my own
rising and falling
rushing in and breathing out
in a sacred flow

Every last vestige of this
earthly life
falls into belovedness
to grant me
this glorious freedom
to dwell in this
heavenly heart
of God

The moment comes
when it comes
we watch and wait
and dream and
wander through valleys
and scale the walls
and mountains
that only seem to rise
between us
as we journey home

What kingdom awaits you
harbored in
your longing heart

What paradise
is circling
in your soul

How would the event
of your awakening
appear
to your eager eyes

O i implore you
to dare to reach
for the sweet
wilderness
beyond
your restless mind

What secrets
are veiled
in the hidden
rhythm
of your precious heart….

O Beloved it is you
that forms the dream
of paradise
through the grace
of the love
from which we come
and it is you
who rushes in
to guide us home

Oh Divining Light spilling from the night

 

Ohhhh divining light spilling from the night
creating wings and worlds
unfurling and flinging spheres
hurtling through untouched space
giving birth to brilliant virgin stars
drifting and tumbling in slow motion flight
beyond gravity and human boundaries
forming cosmic seas far from telescoping eyes
and launching pads and errant rocket sites
designing a timeless expanse through a secret dance
to royal dimensions out of range of hearing
a castling kingdom so endearing
only silence reigns and peace a gift of being
pure love a deeper way of seeing
surrendering a way of freeing
spin me in the glow of a mystic moon
far beyond this night of tears and dimming sight
into the clarity of thy swirling seeds of light
the kingdom of my own sweet knight
where everything is new and true
and we can choose to vanish into you

 

Song in the Night

Song in the Night

Pure love is the elegance
the pure essence
the fragrance and flowering
of the love
of the Beloved
the sweetest name of all names
opening our hearts
and souls
to the love
of an eternal spring

There is no place or time
that love
can not fill with grace
no troubles we could imagine
that love
could not transform

The language of love
flows from a poetry
of the heart
settling in the soul
arising in the morning sun
shining in each
sovereign ray to light our way

All creation sings
as we feel
the dancing sway
of love
the music of the sweet
song of the soul

Silence settles over
the inner life
the mystic night
a perfect shelter
and blessed sanctuary
we come
to feel and trust

The tenderness of love
touches
and moves our lives
from moment to moment
a constancy
of kindness flows
as a dearest friend

The Beloved takes our hands
holding them gently
gazing through eyes
softly affirming a deep love
freely given
to shelter and support
the gift of life now and always

The light of love blesses us
with vision and feeling
a transforming Joy
around our shoulders
in a flowing robe
of night
and glowing moonlight

Love is a river of music
the breath
that carries life
through a caressing breeze
the fragrance and essence
of a flowering love
blessing….blessing….blessing

Life unfolds behind a veil
of transparency
a pure lightness of being
free to create
and give birth to the cosmic
beauty of
the spirit of love

Let the spirit flow
in the circling winds
of vision
and the sweet surprise
of divine revelation

Feel the eternal nature
of this exquisite
grace
meant for all
calling us to live
in beauty and peace

a mystic journey

love is my shepherd

my outer eyes behold
a spirit of beauty
vanishing
into the shadows
of a forest of secrets
my breath quickens
the molecules stir and move
in my being as everything
begins to dance

love leaps all distance
to reach the lover
calling the heart
into the mysteries
of breath and life
in sweet shadows and light
dancing in the darkness
seeding a trail of tiny wildflowers
luring us to follow love

the lover has gone too far
into the dense forest
thick with silence
past the point of no return
all paths have grown over
and only love
can guide the soul

the lover blindly steps
into the unknown
following a music
no one else can hear
a soft summoning love
a luminous glow
like a candle in the night

boundaries fade
old ways become a barrier
no more a rescuing ruse
for love is the muse
a portal only
the lover beholds

a warrior cries out
ready to battle
the enemy in the night
the elusive Beloved
still hidden from sight
this is a fight for freedom
to discover love
in this faceless place

the heart is pounding
breaking and aching
in the chest
the warrior carries
only silence as a sword
conquering the sounds
of fears

a deep cry pierces
the silence
as the warrior
calls out for love
surrenders
through tears
falling into
a sweet embrace

and suddenly
a portal opens
a green valley appears
an open meadow
a spring begins to flow
winds ruffle the hair
and caress the skin

a cooling spirit streaming
with peace
filling the soul
creating a fountain of light
rising in a morning sun
a chalice
overflowing with life

love is my shepherd
my rivering guide
a sheltering grace
a kingdom
of love
forever known
to love alone
my eternal home..

Point of union

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What more could I sing of thy presence
what unfolding glory in this deepest night
could express the grace of wings of light
flown on breath of love alone

A beam of silence falls upon a threshold
opening a spiritual heart of sunlit gold
enmeshed in a caress of divining darkness
heaven blesses and anoints a womb

Tips a dew-filled chalice to release
a stream of stars and a reigning moon
rivers rushing to create a sea
birthing life expressing thee

Alchemy of awe inducing mystery
grants overwhelming ecstasy
spacious skies of cries and sighs
giving birth to seed the earth

Circling forever in your arms
my destiny perpetually dissolving
in thy taste upon my tongue
songs of wonder still unsung…

“Point of Union”

Communion at Dawn

Long ago I was emptied
of words
to describe God
and only then
did the voice of Love
begin to speak
through my pulsing heart

 ~

the throbbing ache of longing
becoming a drum beat
creating beauty
arising from my quiet soul
brought to life
by the One who comes
pervading
earth and sky
touching you and I

as we become
a holy breath dancing
ever so lightly
on a breeze from heaven

~

we are

like delicate butterfly wings
in an eternal spring

looking for a blossom
spreading its flowering beauty
on dewy petals
offering the sweetness
sheltered
deep inside

~

the light of spirit creates

a new wine
cradled in the palm

of God

allowing us to sip

the delights

of the purity of love

~

vintage wine

through holy communion
offered at dawn

~

Love fills the sky with glory
preparing the way
announcing

the approaching
Beloved

~

Stars are born
and planets formed
a garden appears
anointed and new

a scent of musk

mingling with the fragrance
of night blooming jasmine
filling the air
causing me to sigh
and surrender

behold
the coming
of my dearest Love..

~
