Amazing Apple Blushed Wine

[Guest guest]

All night long i tried to say a certain thing,

i kept forgetting what that was. i forgot what it was.

Taking up the stroke of midnight and striking up the music,

i struck out in getting out what i really wanted to say.

 

i stood outside in the cold dark air looking up at the Nighsky,

looking around in utter amazement at all this Beauty everywhere.

Each footfall across the field of Wonder, of green grass,

it became the footfall of You falling all across my world,

everything i saw or did became You Seeing and Doing It too.

 

i wanted to be the pine trees reaching skyward, ever-higher

and touching You as fog and mistiness and this marvelous morning air.

i wanted to bring that apple tree to my mouth and Kiss It,

Love the very leaves into a fruiting of You and i in Apples.

i wanted to BE the apple and its seeds and bring You into blossom,

break You open like split fruit, split by the Sun of Longing for Me.

 

That Longing for the Fragrance of this Moment, the Lift into Love,

the Fennel everywhere and the Unimaginable Scent of This, THIS!

i may have just as well been speared through and through by Christ.

He held out His hands to me and asked me to Dance with Him,

to spin this world on its axis and crash like some comet into You.

Jesus came and calmed my Heart by making wonderful Mudra movements,

magnificent motions with His Heart pressed into mine, a pearl,

the nacre of a pearl never was so closely clung as i was to That Heart!

He broke me open for You and gave me Manna and asked me to feed You.

 

Beloved One, the Christed Ones all came and gathered around here.

Each of them, the Buddha, sweet Ramakrishna, Saint Francis, that Love,

all of them, like Adyashanti, too, he unbelievably Kneeled like a God,

A Glorious and Radiant Lighted Being Who Was So Very God-like,

He WAS The Presence of God and He was here to Bless Us, It's so!

What can i ever say to make this thing known for what It Is, or Was?

i don't even Know what It is They All want from me, or You, or Us!

 

Breathlessness has become the order today, and deathlessness is Near.

Who could ever remain the same after such a Night of Love?

What could keep any Heart from breaking and weeping like a fallen angel,

an Angel that forgot why it had wings and was so Radiantly arrayed,

why is was so Open-Flowing with an Effulgence that Consumed All,

just Embraced every particle of dust, every single thing in creation!

Well the great Beings of loveLight always set Us straight,

they Unfold our Great Iridescent Blue wings, Our Chartes Blue wings,

and They Kiss them with Their Own Blessedness Abounding like Fire.

Blue Flames of Infinite Height and Unending Reaching into the Heart,

That's the kind of Perfection that came and painted my eyes to Opening.

 

What is the why and the wherefore and the Wonder Being given to Us?

i do not Know and i really guess it doesn't matter at all.

The only thing that matters right now is that we keep singing LoveSongs.

They told me that we MUST keep singing this Song of Love to Everyone.

They held my hands with theirs, the Light, the Light, It Was so Bright!

i began dissolving once again into them, into Their Radiance, Oh God!

And the best thing about it was that It Was Your Face! Your Face!

Every single One of these Wondrous Beings Of Unutterable Beauty,

their Faces turned into YOUR Face! And i began to turn into YOU too!

 

i cannot go another moment saying anything else about this Love.

It's just too much for One to Bear, for this Heart to endure It.

So with a breathlessness and Deathlessness i simply sit here and cry.

And in Crying, there is the sound of every saint and Bright Being,

Every Idea of These Beings is standing around and Laughing at me.

i can take the ribbing from them, i can take all of it, for You.

Can You Now hear me breaking into Divine and Holy Laughter, i "Get It!"

 

Loving You like Light Loves to Flash Itself in every Heart and Mind,

Mazie

Yes, my Darling,

my Beloved --

I cannot speak

to You in any tongue

but One!

It is the tongue

burnt to a crisp by

the lovely Fire that

swept through my mind,

reducing it to fragrant

ash.

My throat -

my throat is filled with

my heart!

Where my heart was,

my Lover dances gaily,

laughing that sly

melodious little laugh

that turns my

legs to mush.

You know what You

Have done

Yes

the keen precision of

Your surgery has so

deftly severed every

artery but one –

it is the one that

connects the galazies

by the cord of Communion,

an un-caused Canal

filled with the surging

Bliss of Being Itself,

of the Fragrance of You,

the Feeling of You,

Your Touch, Glance,

Lips, Hips

Yes

the silk

of Night

Burgundy

Velvet

Flowing flowering blending

Bending into blossoming

Reaching into Itself

Flooding me into You

Who am mySelf

Transfigured on the

Mount of You

the Passion Play of

Love's Alchemy

Calling,

Answering

Only

I Love You!

I Love You!

My Beloved

Heart

Yes

Come to me now:

we are fitted to

This Loving

Exactly

as we so exactly

Fit into ourSelf

wrapped in This Embrace

stars whirling through us

whole histories of sunstreams

curling quietly like necklaces

the Holy Beads

You placed around my neck

so I would remember You --

as if I could ever forget --

Laughing Beads of Your Rapture

Singing the Gayatri Mantra

the Great Song of Remembrance

Yes

the Song of Beloved

OneHeart

Free

Presence

Present

Perfect

Peace

Perfect Yes

This

Darling

Yes

Hi Hrtbeat7 and welcome to the Sangha.

 

)))))Thank you, Brother!

It feels as if I have always been here.

 

 

Are you Robert, Mazie's friend?

 

 

)))))Regarding my Beloved,

my Sweet Wine,

my Mitzvah,

my Pearl,

my Darling --

let me speak to you now,

not about friends,

but Devotees:

 

The friend stands in the orange grove,

lovingly inspecting the fruit.

The Devotee pulls down the orange,

splits it open with his teeth, and lets the

sweet nectar run

all down his jaw.

 

The friend is the salt doll,

standing at the shoreline,

marveling at the vastness of the sea.

The Devotee wades

right out into the ocean and

dissolves.

 

The friend takes the vibhuti ash and

rubs it through his fingers,

curious.

The Devotee smears this ash on the toes,

and feet, and precious ankles of

his Beloved, and sings with

all his heart

 

"JAI MA JAI MA JAI MA!!!!"

 

Though the friend even intuits and

interprets the end of all stories,

the Devotee of True Beloved only

stands where no stories have ever begun,

and so what is there to end?

 

Who is there to even sing

"Jai Ma"?

 

This is why i say

 

right here and now

 

Jai Ma!

 

Jai Ma!

 

JAI MA!

 

 

 

Is this the OneDuality that James was referring to? .

 

 

))))Duet of One!

 

 

Inquiring minds want to know!

 

 

)))yes, it seems that way, and yet

all we really want is

the end of wanting, and then

only to love and be loved.

 

This yearning for deep intimacy is in the

heart of all, in this and any other possible

worlds as well.

 

Everything is addicted to Love.

 

Nothing is truly immune to Love.

 

It is the simple innocent

Truth of our being.

 

I love you, and I am here -

my heart and hand joined

with yours.

 

After all, if Now is the only place there is,

what better thing is there than

to find oneSelf in the heart of all,

and all within OneHeart?

 

Perhaps some might be able to believe

Poignant little notional fictions about

going to some other plane after death

where everything is presumed to be perfect,

but that's still in the field of the imagination.

 

All we have is What's here -

This is everything,

This is all the worlds.

 

This is the Divine Realm.

 

Such Freedom is the Grace

Bestowed in our Loving, and

Revealed in the Smile of

Beloved.

 

 

 

 

Love to all

Harsha

 

 

)))))Yes, Kind Brother,

It has always been So!

[Guest guest]

Thanks Brother (Robert?) for that warm, vital message of love. I especially

noted that you said,

 

"This yearning for deep intimacy is in the

heart of all, in this and any other possible

worlds as well.

 

Everything is addicted to Love.

 

Nothing is truly immune to Love.

 

It is the simple innocent

Truth of our being.

 

I love you, and I am here -

my heart and hand joined

with yours."

 

Something similar to that is written in the intro to the HS website.

 

 

 

Hey, we are on the same wavelength!

 

Thanks again for sharing the beauty of the beloved.

 

May all find True Love!

 

Love to all

Harsha

"Love.

What gift is greater than Love?

And still you ask:

`What have I given?'

 

Oh Mad One,

When Love is given,

There is nothing left to give,

Not even the giver.

For to give Love is to give oneself.

You have given Love –

Now, where are you?

Having lost yourself, now

You are bound to find the

One you have been longing to meet."

 

yes we are

beyond time and

beyond mind

We are beyond space

We are the perfect expression

of space/time no mind

Mind of Absolute Trust

Dust to immaculate Dust

Permeated through and through in

Her Sweet Wine Musk

We are the Eternity and

We are the Immortality

the whole sky is ours;

all presumptions of bondage

or liberation fallen away,

bubbles on a stream

of Love, flashes in the night

the infinite dark night

of unimaginable delight

the Sky of Mind

the birth of Wonder

over & over & over again

my Friend, my Love

no place to land

nothing to win, to lose

no one to choose

all awaiting this

Touch

This Kiss

Frozen

Yearning

Melting in

Your Hand

at Your Lips

Kiss, Sweet

Heaven-scented

Sent, Arrived,

Welcomed

Laughter

Yes --

 

Here it can be said:

`I have come Home.'"
