“Until love is the roof,
and love is the ground,
everything inbetween is nothing.
Until love is the alpha,
love is the omega,
all the alphabets mean nothing.”

“Like a bolt from the blue love rises,
Suddenly one finds a mirror.
The beauty you find in the other,
Is what you hold in your innermost corner.
Suddenly we lose our voice,
To speak in love is blasphemy.
Declare your love without saying a word,
Either be an orator or lover on knees.
If they don't hear your silence,
Words won't do you any good.
Listen to the silence beyond the words,
And you shall hear the divine tune.”

“The Illiterate (A Sonnet)
I am poetry,
I am the poet.
I am literature,
Yet I am illiterate.
Illiterate am I of intellect,
Illiterate am I of rituals.
My literacy comes from the soil,
My literacy makes the world equal.
Drunkard am I, absurd am I,
All I know is but love's insanity,
Past all Cross and MC squared,
Love is the only cosmic literacy.
Be literate of books and brain,
But more so of the dormant light.
Literacy of letters earns you living,
Literacy of love earns you a life.”

“Lock-n-Key (The Sonnet)
I am the lock,
You are the key.
Sight of your smile,
showers me with glee.
I got no need for church-n-mosque,
Got no need for God or Jehovah.
These are for those seeking security,
Upon love's face unfolds my Mecca.
Yesterday I was a sensible infant,
I studied scripture seeking holiness.
Today I am a grownass nutter,
Only godly gift is love's holy mess.
Bibles are expendable,
Altars are expendable.
Till love takes preference,
God itself is expendable.”

“Amor Apocalypse is headed our way,
Now that Roe vs Wade is overturned.
Love is where the scrotum-brain scotus,
Will lay next their filthy hand.
First they came for our choice,
Then they'll come for our love.
Soon they'll go for good old lynching,
Land of the free will be land of the shrubs.
Straight and queer are products of a bipolar world,
In the sanctuary of love there's no straight, no queer.
In love's domain queer is straight, straight is queer,
A heart full of love and light is radiantly nonpolar.”
