A Small Prayer
attach me to my core
detach me from the rest
put me on the path
of non-attachment...

Attachment is the rule
The desired leave one after the other
But the desiring stays put.
The attaché changes, attachment stays.
To detach from world is to attach to the God.
If detachment brings peace
No one can be in peace.

Equanimity
Keep equanimity
Nothing to attach
Nothing to detach.
Be satisfied
What you have
Nothing to reject
Nothing to accept.

What else to remember
What else is there to remember?
Except that you are part and member
Of this beautiful world created by almighty
And that is only fact with real beauty
See the reason behind and obey
Remember him once in a day and pray
Rest all will follow to strengthen your belief
You may enjoy it completely with enough relief
You can hurt anybody by one bitter word
This is how we feel in this selfish world
It may take years to build relation
But few seconds for down gradation
You can’t negate your identity
You will have to live with full continuity
You can’t detach or attach completely
This will be sensed not soon but very lately
We are here to bridge the gulf
The path is unknown and rough
No one knows the outcome and fate
No one can weigh pro and cons at any rate

Misery is from detachment
It is not that much inconvenient
For me to detach myself from
Men and materials.
Often I do it to escape, to evade,
To slip and to pass up.
No attachment to others
Like detachment from others
Brings on me all the relief.

No Way To Cry
No way to cry
Just only try
To understand
Real love and friends
Not outer beauty to decide
But inner soul must confide
Take care of true attachment
And nicely enjoy happy moment
Love may never hurt
As you were never flirt
You had truly wished
But unfortunately finished
You need not hide
As love angle is very wide
You have nothing to loose
As it is not matter to choose
Love and hate
Come very late
To make you upset
But allow them not or let
Love is not commodity
Sold in market for quality
You can't attach price tag
You need not climb high
As it is futile try
Love needs only respect
Rest all is spoken by an act

Too many like you,
Remain and stay on game mode.
And I often wonder...
From where did you download,
That outdated program?
And if you know how to detach...
From an attachment I sent,
Obviously misunderstood?
Delete that with this belief...
I can at least get a return,
Of something that will be more tempting
To match a net worth,
That will mutually satisfy...
With a much quicker value expressed!
You are into surfing.
And I am into one-on-one relationships.
I hope that message has been conveyed?
There is no need for a response.

When our minds as people normally starts to wrap around things, we start to attach all these ideas to it that really aren't that necessary to the core of it, if you just experience it and kind of go through it.

Creation of His Wish
Can we detach ourselves from distractions?
Can we allow explorations to expand within our minds,
And finding the Universe more than a place
Confining us to taste limitations?
There is so much for us to perceive.
So much to adventure and much more to receive!
On a threaded existence that's how we survive.
Just one snap of that thread and time for us is denied.
This living 'thing' we call cosmic space...
Has much more to offer us,
Something 'divine'
Keep Earth's spin in place.
We hold on to concepts that we alone exist.
And yet there is proof other beings pay us visits!
Many are in denial with thoughts of disbelief.
Close your eyes and view what is seen...
A vastness we are part of,
And yet out of our reach!
Something is there to attract us to IT!
A consciousness more developed,
Must certainly exist!
Can we detach ourselves from distractions,
To ask this entity...
For a more enlightened state of mind,
Such as 'that' which we can not see?
We pray to God to materialize wishes...
And God is ALL of IT!
If we can detach ourselves from distractions...
More 'gifts' from God will come to benefit.
Since all that is witnessed is a creation of His wish!
If we can detach ourselves from distractions...
We can see God in ALL of 'this'!
There is so much for us to perceive.
So much to adventure and much more to receive!
Can you and me...
They and we,
Detach ourselves from distractions,
To validate our destiny?
If 'anything' is possible for God to provide,
Love and peace are not mere illusions...
But in fact realities!

Attachment- an inner look
No one is in detachment.
Nor is one in attachment.
Constant is attachment.
Changing is attaché.
One is abandoned
As another one is cordoned.

He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment. Thus one should discard attachment to be happy.
In attachment
In a happening, some are happy,
Some are sad and some, indifferent.
Attachments bring happiness and suffering.
Detachments deny sorrow and joy too.
Without attachment, mercy is not born.
Without attachment, purpose is not born.
Without involvement, interest is not born.
Without interest, no action takes place.
Attached, success bathes the ego.
Attached, failure soils the ego.
Attachment is still good if you hope
For the best and be for the worst

The excitement that you were feeling about a special, unique path for yourself as a woman is all part of your identification with and attachment to being female. And that's ultimately all ego.

Abuse Them and You'll Lose Them
Things...
Happen every season,
For reasons.
Things...
Can knot,
Or untie tight strings.
Abuse them and you'll lose them.
And,
Things...
Can freeze a warm heart,
Stone cold.
Few connivers can survive this,
And things...
Can sometimes never thaw,
No more!
Those things...
Happen every season,
For reasons.
And those things...
Can knot,
Or untie tight strings.
To detach an attachment!
And,

And things...

For reasons.

Can freeze a warm heart,
Stone cold.
To never thaw what's raw.

The Path Through The Snow
BARE and sunshiny, bright and bleak,
Rounded cold as a dead maid's cheek,
Folded white as a sinner's shroud,
Or wandering angel's robes of cloud.--
Well I know, well I know
Over the fields the path through the snow.
Narrow and rough it lies between
Wastes where the wind sweeps, biting keen:
Every step of the slippery road
Marks where some weary foot has trod;
Who'll go, who'll go
After the rest on the path through the snow?
They who would tread it must walk alone,
Silent and steadfast--one by one:
Dearest to dearest can only say,
'My heart! I'll follow thee all the way,
As we go, as we go
Each after each on this path through the snow.'
It may be under that western haze
Lurks the omen of brighter days;
That each sentinel tree is quivering
Deep at its core with the sap of spring,
And while we go, while we go,
Green grass-blades pierce thro' the glittering snow.
It may be the unknown path will tend
Never to any earthly end,
Die with the dying day obscure,
And never lead to a human door:
That none know who did go
Patiently once on this path through the snow.
No matter, no matter! the path shines plain;
These pure snow-crystals will deaden pain;
Above, like stars in the deep blue dark,
Eyes that love us look down and mark.
Let us go, let us go,
Whither heaven leads in the path thro' the snow.

I Got the Blues for You
Pelican blues, jay walking on velvet souls
Somber and detach, mayhem
Pickering the night of pre dawn
The choir of your anger, screaming
In tune to the decaying sounds
Of the strings Silverado
Ascending in D Minor
Descending in G Major
Flavor never a waiver
Impacts……….heart raptures
“Come and sway with me, ” the voices say
“Absorb my tone, within the tone,
You’ll hear the grumble mumble”
Sudden death and numb
The rhythm retires
The blues in dire
What come next will be your desperados
Attach the strings to your yester hellos
Soulful revival
My guitar humbles
The plucking and strumming
Erode…….to your gravely swing

On That Path
I'm on that path,
So was my mother,
I'm on that path,
Just like my brother.
I'm on that path,
I didn't know my father,
I'm on that path,
And i am the master.
I'm on that path,
upon the good, straying from evil.
I'm on that path-
There is no cheating.
I'm on that path,
God knows i need him.
I'm on that path,
and i hope i'm never leaving ;)

Giving Up All Attachment To Love
'Giving up all attachment to love.'
That doesn't make sense.
'Why...
You don't like it? '
It's a bit absurd to me.
When love makes the world go round.
'What are you talking about? '
You just said...
Giving up all attachment to love.
'Oh...
That has nothing to do with you.
I was just thinking of a title for a poem I am writing.'
I thought you and I were having a conversation?
'We are.
I'm just waiting for you to say something interesting.
And when you do...
I will participate.'
Why do I keep believing,
To me you will ever be a friend?
'I love it.
Thank you.
Listen to this...
Giving up all attachment to love.
Why do I keep believing,
To me you will ever be a friend...
Go on.'
I don't even know why I am here.
You are sick.
You know that?
'Where are you getting this from?
I love it.
Listen...
Giving up all attachment to love.
Why do I keep believing,
To me you will ever be a friend...
You are sick.
You know that? '
You really are.
'Stop it.
Is this your own stuff?
You should be a writer.
I am stealing this.
I don't care what you say.
It is magnificent.'
I'm leaving.
'Why? '
We were suppose to go out to dinner.
'Why didn't you remind me?
You think I'm suppose to remember everything? '

Only For Attachment
Only for attachment
I have seen woman
Not as Mother
Not as creator
And could not find
Her place in the world
And could not see the world
Properly in proper form
Only for attachment.
