Through Poetry

Intertwined Within You
Queen Sista, Woman of Pure Nature,
Our path, codified, refined in parallel paths---reason.
You work, I work, and they both work,
And we work best together, intertwined in each other.
Intertwined in circular and perpendicular
Motions of the heart's faith, in the heart's willingness,
Accepting something without yet verified of one's self
Without casting out intellect, neither understanding.
All that is intertwined in you and I, queen of a woman.
You stand in my mind as a fashion statement, woman of pure nature.
You shine in my mind as a factor to my life.
With word of caution, queen mother, beholder of generations,
Our minds are luminous yet corrupted by adventitious defilement,
Uninstructed wordings do not understand that, as it really is.
But Mother Beautiful, intertwined with my birth capacities,
Luminous, free from the dark, the murky, concentrated in wisdom,
I am he who applauds you in the openness of emancipation's peace.
Therefore, mental development,
Shining, non-conceptual intelligence and deep tranquility,
Can you see him intertwined within you?
Intertwined, like twins, within me,
He searches for noble truth,
In three phases and twelve aspects,
Yet to be awakened in unsurpassed enlightenment,
Intertwined within our self-theory’s realizations
Of final attainment of enlighten knowledge,
As his life's warranty becomes valid,
Intertwined in the paths that converge.
Only one in the know will understand.
Discovery
Woman, there is something within you, the female being,
That is the source of your potential: the seed from you I grow
In the origins of our discovery, love, truth
And your natural beauty, a presence within.
Intuited. Deduced. I read you like the book on divas.
Therefore I experience you directly in your discovery.
My biggest surprise is my search for your inner steadiness.
I experience my desires; fore I am sufficiently sincere,
Simply by removing your distractions.
Afterward, I laugh at the paradox, as I open to your ecstasy,
As my final analysis, confirming your true nature is blissful.
I open your eyes, your mind, your perplexes,
And go inside your consciousness and discard your distractions
And discover ecstasy within your inner game of tennis
Knowing in your discovery, you possesses potential equal to mine,
Therefore, encouraging you to explore enough of me
To trigger a male response of profound emotions and dynamic actions,
Riding the waves of your bliss, discovering pleasure
Within my simultaneous, subjective nature,
Wave-like pulsations that spread like prolonged impressions
Melting poetically in your soul, as in deep intimacy.
So soft are my ripples, riding your quiet sea,
Reflecting your sun, as I row skillfully,
Sweet tempered, in your discovery.
