“Lyubimaya (The Sonnet)
I am happy - I am happy
to see that you are happy.
May they give you all the joy,
Of which you dreamt with me.
I was just a struggling autodidact,
yet to be the legend I made myself.
How was I supposed to settle down,
in the balkans with white picket fence!
Partners with infinite patience,
only ever exist in fairytales.
Yet I feel no grudge whatsoever,
as they're happy with their choice.
There's a divine bliss in being dumped,
at least one is no longer a burden.
Purpose of love is to see another happy,
not to sentence them to life-imprisonment.”

“All The World's An Asylum (Sonnet 1235)
All the world's an asylum,
All the people are lunatics.
Some are but loonies of love,
Some loonies run by prejudice.
Some die running in love of currency,
Some die sharing the currency of love.
Beyond the grasp of dollar and euro,
Love is the only nonvolatile
currency in the world.
It's good to be a loonie,
If the reason is justly humane.
When human welfare is at stake,
It's only logical to be insane.
Sane, insane - be as the need arises,
To hell with the judgment of nitwits!
In an organic world no sanity is absolute,
Boldly walk the spectrum as the purpose fits.”

“We are here in a wood of little beeches:
And the leaves are like black lace
Against a sky of nacre.
One bough of clear promise
Across the moon.
It is in this wise that God speaketh unto me.
He layeth hands of healing upon my flesh,
Stilling it in an eternal peace,
Until my soul reaches out myriad and infinite hands
Toward him,
And is eased of its hunger.
And I know that this passes:
This implacable fury and torment of men,
As a thing insensate and vain:
And the stillness hath said unto me,
Over the tumult of sounds and shaken flame,
Out of the terrible beauty of wrath,
I alone am eternal.
One bough of clear promise
Across the moon”
“In the West we are so addicted to the notion of progress that we project this idea onto our spiritual life, and can become very confused by the dawning realization that He whom we seek is always with us, that we are always close to Him but do not know it. The spiritual path is a process of revealing this nearness, the intimacy of love that is always with us.”

“How does the bird come and go
(Sufi Scientist Sonnet, 1300)
How does the bird come and go,
In and out of this bodily cage!
So long as you nourish it with love,
Who cares about some mythical fate!
Cages are born of dust,
In dust cages will wither.
Yet you sob in love of cage,
Oblivious to the endangered flier!
With all knowledge of cosmic building blocks,
How come you still cannot put an end to war!
With all your high and mighty technocracy,
How come children still starve and suffer!
I say, put your intellect aside for a change,
First unfold a human heart outside the cage.
Otherwise, your posterboys of superficiality,
Will turn this world into a wreck of cages.”
