Desires Spoken as if Addressing The ONE
Across the finite chasm of separation - recognition beckons me.
Can thy mind receive me - and _does_ thy heart conceive, see?
Can we give in and allow what can become, to be?
..
This place we stand in now, blessed one - is ripe with opportunity..
How to express the hope, of seeing where this leads?
How to discover, the highest branch of this tree?
Are you the island - souls could find a continent worth exploring?
Have you the waterfalls, that nurse and rejuvenate those who discover thee?
Do you have the desire to explore, to see, where this NOW could lead?
…
Are your passions, and intensities of outrageous proportions -
ready to back against a counter deep and solid in its foundation?
Are your curiosities, the infinite wonder of thee, ready for more - to feel?
Have you suffered enough, my love, to help belittle the suffering of me?
Do you desire enough, aay jaan, to know that I too desire thee?
Do you wonder, as I do, if you should be sitting here with me?
Allow me to rid this game of the mee and the theee, habeebti! *
Enable me to explore the real essence of HOO, ya WaHEE.. **
Permit me the partner, sojourner, on this journey - to nahEEN! ***
~ Aaas (deeply held desire)
(* |habeebti: beloved {feminine specific}, in Arabic.)
(** |HOO: That Which IS. |WaHEE: That ONE. |Ya Wahee: O - that One!)
(*** |nahEEN: Negation of all things, including desire.)
This poem is akin to a response to my first post on this site, below.
Had an amazing conversation this weekend with a few local (and some non-local) friends about the concept of “being passionate about finding your true love.” I realized I wasn’t able to convey to them that I’m a crazy believer in the concept of ultimate love, and am expecting, possibly even in the process of manifesting, that very same blessing in my life. Why couldn’t I convey this? Maybe because they didn’t see things from my perspective. What is that perspective? Merely force of intention. Applied passion. Resolute acknowledgment held as an unwavering stake in the ground.
How?
By believing in it. By addressing it in my intentions, and expecting it in my deepest psyche. People come out with movies with names like “The Secret” and there are books, (old by now,) with obvious names like “THINK and Grow Rich”, or “The Magic of Thinking Big”,) but who speaks of the application of such knowledge in daily life, to solve a ready and present situation? I do!
How, I argue, is it possible for one who possesses so much love- to not have the means of directing that love towards the one it is meant for? (Or “ones” possibly? I _am_ a dad, you know. ,-) I refuse to accept that semantics disallow me from being passionate about something that doesn’t yet exist. Penicillin didn’t ever _not_ exist, it was discovered and then utilized. I believe that the process of manifesting that which you desire is the act of forcing, with the force of your intention, to bring forth that which you know is yours - deep down in your heart of hearts. I know, and put this argument out in the open for those who disagree with it to voice their dissent.
