Ode to a very special friend

Memory will tell of words
Which we could not say
Words mixed with feelings
Would not make you stay

You have a life
One I could not fight
We shared the temperaments of love
Those issues our tender hearts couldn’t solve

Time and time again
You will be here
Here in my heart
While you are there
Far and away


Our journey ended where it began
But our lives must continue
From where it severed

Sometimes we meet people
Sometimes people meet us
It is not the same
The rules change every time

Sometimes we make our friends
Sometimes our friends make us
It is never a game
For it is never the same

Time and time again
You will be here
Here in my heart
While you are there
Far and away

No matter how brief the moments were
They were the best of times with you
Times money would dare not buy
Moments alone in our carved world

We both fumbled, yet our love didn’t crumble
You were right, I was wrong
You left the marks
I couldn’t trace it
You left the door open
I couldn’t come in
I waited outside
Till a stranger came in
To take away what belonged to us

Time and time again
You will be here
Here in my heart
While you are there
Far and away

Maybe we are meant to be
Maybe not
We did speak the love words
Those words sharper than a two-edged sword
It did cut our hearts
But our love it couldn’t shut

We did our parts
We took the separate noble paths
As the journey is, so is our lives
Love is always a narrow path
Life is always a rough path
Death is always a tough path

Time and time again
You will always be here
Here in my heart
While you are there
Far and away
There with him.

RELIGION

I am a Christian to the extent that I concur with Saint Paul in saying, “And if I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge and have not love, I am nothing”.   I am a Buddhist to the extent that I realize, with Gautama, that only when a man forsakes all his desires is he really free. I am a Jew to the extent I believe profoundly in the saying. “ Hear, O Isreal, the Lord our God is one.” I am a Hindu to the extent of believing and practicing the kingly science of Yoga, the science of Union with the spiritual Self. I am a Mohammedan to the extent that I rely on Allah above all else. And finally, I am a follower of Lao-Tzu to the extent that I accept his perception of the strange paradoxes of life. I will not walk with Christians into an exaltation of truth above what Christ teaches, those words that have life and death in them. I will not walk with a Buddhist into a denial of the beauty and pleasure which existence holds for me. I will not walk with Jews ...

Do you remember?

Do you remember the first day we met? The sun gave a whopping smile That exposed the nakedness of the sky A hi exchanged from four eyes Emotional words wrapped behind sounds And the whispers of our thoughts Do you remember the first night at the park? Nature’s splendour carving the moon’s jealousy The sky at its best costume The arts, the cinema, and two lovely souls at the park Do you remember the night we first kissed? Perfect moments stowed in time forever The thoughts, the lips, and the gentle kisses The journey to the seventh heaven Do you remember the first void? Seven oceans sever bodies but not our souls Through two thick cords and platoons of air We talked and laughed and shared deep feelings Do you remember the first argument? You became the wind, I was the ocean; We fought not to be over But to be together, forever The words of war became the words of love Do you remember the first romance? Two bodies moving in syn...
