Dedication

I have dedicated my love
Like indigo skies  of dusk and twinkling stars
Like cerulean blues of milky flawless morn
I have dedicated my compassion
I have dedicated my pride
Like clear glorious blue skies on a cloudless day
I have dedicated my search
To cloud patterned blues of ethereal May
I have laid down my soul
Into the womb of dawn
Where the sun and Time
Is born
My understanding expands
As the day progresses
Ever knowing night
Accepts my life
Mystical music
Of fate.

Krishna
Smiled
And kissed favoured flute
With lotus lips
Peacocks danced
Blue embossed eternities
Laughing maidens by glittering  waters deep
Flirted caution to the winds
Carried away by the waves
Of pure love
Fragrant in winds
Of fragility.

Hush...
Before nightfall
The cuckoo coos
Cuckolding Godlessness

At nightfall
The Nightingale
Sings of beauty
That surpasses devotion

My devoted eyes
Trail tears at dawn
For the cock will crow
Your betrayal.

And men
Will forget in their might
To love
Like Jesus
And My Krishna.
