I write what my friends call epic poems, kinda long but it's not over 'til it's over, ya know?



LOVE

There once was a woman
so fine and so fair
her eyes shone like diamonds
had waterfall hair

Her skin was translucent
and glowed with the light
and when men would see her
their hearts would take flight

Her countenance fair
was beyond spoken word
and her voice was a song
that would shame any bird

She smelled of white roses
she wore in her hair
her love was anointing
with all she would share

She moved as a dancer
synchronized with all life
and all the men dreamed
of her as their wife

She came to the village
each day about noon
the men would propose
and on bended knee,swoon

Finally she said
to one hundred and ten
"I've a task, you to do
if my heart, you're to win

You're to find me a Sutra
explaining all life
if you do truly
want me for your wife

The next day she came down
from the hills up above
and found sixty six men
proposing their love

and they all were prepared
with Sutras in hand
but this could not be
with a party so grand

So she told them to go
to meditate, and to pray
to explain the symbology
in their sutra, next day

The next day she came down
from the hills up above
and found thirty three men
proposing their love

They had explanations
and their symbols were true
but thirty three men!
this would not do.

So she asked them to practice
an oral recitation
to impart this truth to her
with beauty and elation

The next day she came down
from the hills up above
and found seven men
proposing their love

They recited with beauty
and their voices were pure
But seven's too many!
she had a cure.

Go and study your Sutras
for their truths should be prized
and come back the next day
if totally realized

The next day she came down
from the hills up above
and found one lone man
proposing his love

His Sutra, it spoke
as a light - emanation
he was ecstatic with joy
of realization

So she gave him directions
to her house in the trees
and said " see my parents
if my love you do please"

So he went there at Dusk
to their woodland house
to ask if their daughter
could be his spouse

Her parents he found
were wise, and were old
the wisdom of ages
their eyes did hold

They asked him sincerely
if his love was pure
if his body was chaste
and his virtue was sure

This man lived a life
of virtue and law
and his love was so pure
he said "Yes, there's no flaw."

Her parents could see
this man was of light
they showed him to her bedroom
for it was soon to be night

But when he entered in
his love was not there
the window was open
a dusk breeze blew warm air

He went to the window
and looked down in the sand
he saw her small footprints
through the trees, cross the land

He followed them down,
through the sand, pure white
until he came to a river,
a clear crystalline sight

and there by the river
lie her silken clothes
and her golden slippers
by this pure water flow

so he took off his own
and walked cross the sand
and dove into the water
what he beheld was grand!

For the moment he touched
that water so clear
His eyes opened up
as the deaf, that could hear

And then he beheld
All the heavenly regions
All the Holy Presences
and the Angels in Legions

He beheld the Thrones
and the Kingdom on High
revealed were the Galaxies
as he looked to the sky

He understood All
of this Cosmic Plan
and how it directed
the Will of Man

As All Life became
as clear as the stream
He knew that his Love
was no Mortal being

She was Divine Mother love
overseeing all life
and he was our Father
for she is his wife

and as he took his seat
in a throne on high
and as he looked down
o'er the planets and sky

He kissed his Beloved
said " It's so clear from above
why can't they see
that all that matters is Love? "

Very good indeed
