The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.

This is my body
This is my body that you see
It is beautiful carved by God’s hands
Smoothened by His breaths
You will love it and want to have it
To touch and caress
To be feasted upon by the hunger
Of your eyes and thirst of your lips
To be rubbed by the coldness of your body
Seeking the warmth of my flesh
This is my body that you will first see
But there is more in me than my body
This soul that seeks your soul
This beautiful soul that seeks the beauty of your soul
The hands of my spirit reaching out to your invisible hands
They have all for years been longing to clasp
My soul longing to be with your soul
So they can be together
To be fused with each other as one
To be happy and calm and perfect
To that final place where this body
Shies away because something more beautiful
Inside it shines and glows and becomes
So beautiful in all eternity

Soul’s relation to body
I love you; who is ‘I’- soul or body?
I won over your heart; you stole my heart.
Heart- do we mean the corporal one?
Soul, the fire, catches the body, the wood.
Soul to soul and body to body, no love sparks.
Soul in body loves soul in body.
Souls or bodies exclusively love not.
Soul and body are not like air and balloon.
Soul and body is like heat and body.

An Answered Prayer
I prayed a lover's prayer and prayers sent me
A beautiful lady of art and life in perfect harmony.
Her eyes of Burmese jade, her lips of amorous African ruby
Her skin of Chinese silk, her heart a refined piece of jewelry
As rare as rare, and as sweet as sweet
This lady is beauty whole and beauty complete.
Her slim delicate tenderness lies between beauty and love
And in mine heart her beauty is be love
By mine senses, my soul, my spirit, my will
Made light by her soul, as light and colorful of a peacock's quill
I do but for a moment touch her loin
And our eyes, my prayers, do finally adjoin
Love has sent me a scion of pleasure
In one moment of love's eternity
Did I possess a Goddess and I did see love's tremendous treasure

Sonnet: Beauty
The flesh gets beauty, when draped by its skin;
The soul loses beauty, when filled by sin;
The beauty of things is seen when revealed;
The beauty of unseen things is concealed.
Woman! Thy beauty is in concealment;
Nature, thy beauty is the Firmament;
O Man! Thy beauty is by revealing;
Heart, Thy beauty is in deep feeling.
The Grace of God is the dress of the soul!
The Stars, Sun and Moon- the dress of the ‘bowl’! ’
Just as how skin protects the body’s flesh,
Good deeds make a soul beautiful and fresh.
Doing good in life is most important;
Avoiding harm is more significant.

Death is a divorce
Death is a divorce.
The soul and the body are separated.
The soul escapes; the body decays.
Who is the cause: the soul or the body?
‘It is the body’, accuses the soul,
‘As it went unfit.’ ‘It is the soul’
Reprimands the body, ‘which found me stale.’
Who is the male: the soul or the body?
‘Male is the body’ complains the soul,
‘In whose home I entered as a bride.’
‘Male is the soul’ retorts the body,
‘Who deserted me to seek the other.’
Death is the divorce,
Where both separate.

Lightning In The Sky
Lightning in the sky
Thunder on the ground
Man and beast alike
Seeking shelter from the storm
All around there is fear in the air
All around there is fear in the air
Burning drops of rain
Flood my thirsty soul
Cold chills to the bone
Glowing eyes filled with pain
All around theres a cry no one hears
All around theres a cry no one hears
Always on the run
Never taking time to see
Beauty all around
Natures dance is just for me
All around, natures dance
Just for me
All around, natures dance
Just for me
Rainbows glowing high
Evening shadows fall
Dont you wait for me
I wont be back for your call
I am free from your spell, I am free
I am free from your spell, I am free
I am free from your spell, I am free
Free, free, free...
Free from your spell, I am free

Caught in a Moment
Were I ever more enthralled
In that moment I caught her full beauty
That soul, that heart, that spirited nature
The way she carried herself
The look in the eye, a glare transfixed
The curl of a smile like a hook holding
I fell victim to all she possessed
And in me she could claim all
For never before had I felt like this
More drawn to such beauty
That I saw before the body and face
A nature, a spirit, a heart to behold
A mind to challenge my own
I had felt the pining of strong desire
Known full well the sting of lust
False love and false declarations
But this, nothing like this
I had never been more enthralled
In the moment I caught her full beauty

For literature sake.
When the body ages, does the soul do?
When the body gets wounds, does the soul suffer?
Are body and soul like sac and air?
Not so obviously.
Are body and soul like flesh and heat?
Might be.
Does not soul die when body dies, then?
Heart is not the seat of emotion, but brain.
Soul is not distinct to be treated so.
Yet soul is distinct for literature sake.

Unconditional Love
Forever have I longed for your sweet lips on mine
For the wafted smell of desire from your beautiful skin
For the need to emanate from every aspect of your being
For you are godly in your beauty and you fulfill my every dream
You are the needs I have, and yours is the body I yearn for
I long to hold you in my hands, and claim you as my own
I crave the moment when you throw your head back in ecstasy
I desire the moment that you are consumed by this need, as if on fire
For you are the one true incarnate of love and desire
With the fire burning in your eyes
Your barely suppressed yearning
The longing on your face clear as diamond
Your personality just as multi-faceted
Your soul just as pure
I would give you the world, as Satan promised Jesus
If only you would worship my body, as I worship yours
And you, with your inhuman beauty and purity
That describes innocence, and wholesomeness
Lacking the betrayal and distrust emanated from the very pores of today's personnel
Your beauty, grace, loyalty, trust
You yourself are all consuming, as the glamour, the enchantment, that you have cast on me
You, the sun to my Universe, the life to my planet, the black hole to my cosmos
You who causes fearlessness and vulnerability in one nanosecond
You, who captivates me as no other can, and who captures my undivided attention
You blind me with your beauty, yet open my eyes with your innocence
You tempt me with unspoken promises, yet do nothing to instigate these unmitigated and unadulterated feelings
The joy you spread to others, like a spore
The love you unknowingly initiate, which causes unconditional adoration
Everything that you are is everything I need, love, and want
I know nothing but that wherever you are will I follow
Unconditionally

Between This Body And This Soul
my body thirsts for water
my soul thirsts for another
my soul immersed my soul entwined
my body grows my soul static as a thought
i shift from one channel to another
body to soul, soul to body,
the body's nature to sin
the soul's quest to heaven
God is in between.

Heart Body And Soul
the soul knows
the body
which the body
doesn't sometimes
the heart beats
and knows the
state of the soul
you see the eyes
of the heart
as the soul feels
the beatings of
your heart
when the body sleeps
the soul practices
its journey to the
gate of the heart
as the heart shies
away from the
reasoning of the
body

Love
Gone are my adolescent days of fantasies and dreams
reality has arrived with love and deep feelings.
I never imagined that anyone could feel this way
not even for a moment, never mind an hour or day.
I don’t know what you did, but you did it to me
and you did it without touching, as any one can see.
You’re no witch, but you cast a magical spell of love
I’m not complaining I shout it thank God above.
You haven’t said, but do I have a similar affect on you,
do you do silly things that you don’t usually do?
Have you gone off your food and just refuse to eat,
is there a feeling in your stomach that leaves you weak?
Do you count away the minutes until we meet again
and maybe consider that you could be insane?
When we’re apart do you have jealousy in your head
and think that I may be with someone else instead?
Whenever we’re together your eyes tell me a story
they sparkle and smile, and inwardly explore me.
Your body talk, your eyes, your smile, everything you do,
I’m the happiest soul alive to be in love with you.

My Love In A Mirror
She stood there
looking at herself...
at the beauty God bestowed on her
in front of this mirror
I stood behind her, wrapping my soul around her
my dark brown arms against her pale skin,
covering her nakedness
in front of this mirror
Our bodies stirred, feeling the fire
remembering our lovemaking earlier,
and previous times we have stood here
in front of this mirror
Like this very moment, her eyes
arresting me, her soul possessing me,
the warmth of my body against hers
in front of this mirror

I have fallen into unconsciousness
I have got out of my own control, I have fallen into unconsciousness; in my utter unconsciousness how joyful I am with myself!
The darling sewed up my eyes so that I might not see other than him, so that suddenly I opened my eyes on his face.
My soul fought with me saying, “Do not pain me”; I said, “Take your divorce.” She said, “Grant it”; I granted it.
When my mother saw on my cheek the brand of your love she cut my umbilical cord on that, the moment I was born.
If I travel to heaven and read the Tablet of the Unseen, O you who are my soul’s salvation, without you how I am ruined!
When you cast aside the veil the dead become alive; the light of your face reminded me of the Covenant of Alast.
When I became lost, O soul, through love of the king of the peris, hidden from self and creatures, I am as if peri-born myself.
I said to the Tabriz of Shams-e Din, “O body, what are you?” Body said, “Earth”; Soul said, “I am distraught like the wind.”
Beautiful One
Oh beautiful one, adorned with spell
To ravage my world as might a sweet angel.
Oh beautiful thing, so much at ease:
Allure of caressing breeze in touch gentle.
Oh beautiful creature, sail me do,
As floating on seas of halcyon blue tincture.
You beautiful being, gracing charm
And features that render feel of deep texture.
Your beautiful poise in glide supreme,
Gives such like a vista honed as from heaven.
That beautiful art of face ornate,
Not ever to understate or be riven.
Your beautiful flame of pulchritude
Doth dizzy me high, so I conclude always
You beautiful girl forever be
My shining Janette; my guide; my stairway.

Soul has an extra mileage
Soul and body: who depends on who?
Soul and body: who adds values to who?
Whom do you regard: soul or body?
Who is the cause of your actions?
Does soul departs for body decays?
Does body decays for soul departs?
Soles alone are ghosts; bodies alone are corpses.
Soul and body together gain values.
Must soul have an extra mileage?

Body And Soul
rise with me this body of mine
sail with me o' soul of thine
for mine is a matter of time
to mold a body of mine
and have a kind
i prefer, as without me
there is none, and without you
there is no me
send me a sense to my body
o' body of mine
a friend and shadow of mine
without a dime
take me from wrong to conformity
lead me from animosity
unchain my soul from vanity
for mine is a body and soul
detach me from the unknown
shine on me o' body and soul
bring me a blessing to my soul
connect and share with me o' body of mine
laugh and talk with me so fine
run and steady with me so divine
the body of my soul and awhile
take me back to my body as a child
...possibly not! i presume...
if i die, you too die
and there is no more of me then
from whence to the end
for i live(d) with you 'til then

The Miracle of a Moment
A week?
A day?
An hour?
Time enough
For excellence
A moment?
Too little!
Too swift!
Too short!
Too brief!
Not so
Not right
Not true
A moment?
It’s enough!
Pregnant with possibilities
A moment
Overflowing with opportunities
A Moment
Saturated with significance
A moment
Rich with reality
A moment
Bursting with beauty
A moment
Loaded with life
A moment
Encoded with eternity
A moment
Maximize every moment

Body To Body,heart To Heart
Whoa, Whoa Whoa
Yeah Yeah
Chorus:
Body to Body, Body to Body, Heart to Heart
Looking in your eyes tonight,
I can see, everything
I need
Holding your heart close to mine,
Feeling you, breathing you
And my love,
Are we melting together to become as one?
The night is burning harder then the sun
When I'm with you, when I'm with you
I could drown in your eyes,
Die in your arms,
Live for this moment,
Here in the dark
I dont know where I am,
Not sure where you start,
When we're body to body
Chorus
Breathing every breath with you
Next to you
Is where I need to be
Part of every part of you
Feeling you, feeling me
And my love,
Will we melt together in the tender kiss?
The night has never been a night like this,
Ooo,When I'm with you, When I'm with you
I could drown in your eyes,
Die in your arms,
Live for this moment,
Here in the dark
I dont know where I am,
Not sure where you start,
When we're body to body
Chorus
My love,
Are we melting together to become as one?
The night is burning harder then the sun
When I'm with you, when I'm with you
I could drown in your eyes,
Die in your arms,
Live for this moment,
Here in the dark
I dont know where I am,
Not sure where you start,
When we're body to body, baby, body to body, baby, body to body
Body to Body, Body to Body (Repeat Chorus until End)
