Wherever God lays his glance
Life starts clapping.
The Myriad
Creatures grab their instruments
And join the
Song.

Divine Beauty



I will relish you
in stillness
and gently
 take your divine beauty
into my secret shrine
I will get drunk
on your image
which has been
etched into my soul

Children's laughter

If every child

laughed

at the same time

the angels
would dance
so ecstatically
that
we would hear
their beating wings
whirrrrrling
like a set of
new drums.



Narayan

Kisses

Hafiz 
thinks
I have a crush
on you
He told me this
while he was 
feeding his cow...

He might be right
His cow kept
throwing me kisses
and pointing 
to the Moon.



Narayan

Five Days

In five Days
I will be at your feet
surrounded by your Lovers
Twelve years gone by
yet so much
 remains
the same
I  bring on the
chocolate
You bring on
 the Love

Narayan

Needing a mirror

Your Eye 
is so wise

It keeps turning, turning
Needing to touch Beauty.

It keeps turning,
Needing to find a mirror

That will caress you

As I.

Faithful Lover

The Moon came to me last night
With a sweet question.
She said,
"The sun has been my faithful lover
For millions of years.
Whenever I offer my body to him
Brilliant light pours from his heart.
Thousands then notice my happiness
And delight in pointing
Toward my beauty.
Hafiz,
Is it true that our destiny
Is to turn into Light
Itself?
And I replied,
Dear Moon,
Now that your love is maturing,
We need to sit together
Close like this more often
So I might instruct you
How to become
Who you
Are!

Hafiz
