My Mashuq Is a Mystery Unfolding

[Guest guest]

Days like this go on

forever and ever -

 

Nowhere to go, nothing to do

in any particular order.

 

My Sweet Halvah, my Mashuq,

my Adorable Darling-Hearted Honey,

my Beautiful Baby of Bliss,

just out the door and off to work.

 

Up until nearly four a.m., we two,

getting greeted by God in every way,

and greeting God in all our Loving Play.

 

This house a Kaaba of Cosmic Cantos,

standing strong,

Singing from the Center,

the Heartbeat of Everywhere

Breaking into This Love we Are,

This Love Loving as OneHeart.

 

For keeping the Beloved's Heart

inside every move we make,

for It Is every move we make

towards the Place of No Return,

we keep the Alter filled with Friendship.

 

The Fragrance of Laughter

and Buddha is before us, behind us,

within us as a Golden Glow Glinting

into and from every eye we meet today.

 

We burn in Love and we burn for Love,

for we are One Burning Funeral Pyre -

 

We have climbed and been Climbed

by the Ecstatic Presence

like a Firey Floribunda

Flowering like a Blaze of Scented Passion

coming across the Wall of Emptiness.

 

We have pulled away all veils of separation

and offered our Heart to the Beloved Beauty,

the Heartbreaking Beauty of Nothing -

 

Nothing Breathing Everything

past and beyond the Elsewhere.

 

i extend my arms out to the Vast Dawn Sky,

and now i fall into You and begin to Cry.

 

Crying into the Light-Pool,

the Liquidity of Your Aqua Love-Eyes,

there is just this last Splash

Splitting the world apart,

Balancing into Blackest-Blackness.

 

Blending me into You,

this "Thou and i" Falling

into That Primal Blue Void -

 

Utter Silent Stillness reigns

Now and for Evermore,

and then More.

>From the Depths

of Such Love Unbearable,

i can only Sing to You, my Beloved.

 

So i Sing the only words

that mean anything at all -

 

i Love you Bright Angel!

 

You bring the Beloved One to our Heart,

to our Home and our Song -

 

EveryoneEverythingEverywhereEvermore Rejoices.

Love Rejoices at this Radiance so Ripe

You spill with each Sweet Breath.

Forever dying and lifting up again,

We have become the Kiss of Ever-New Joy!

The Mighty Kind One Caresses the Cosmos

whenever You touch anything at all.

 

You have Touched me with Light!

You have Touched me with Love!

You have Touched the Heart of Hearts

bringing Love into Bloom and to Glory!

 

Blessedness brings Its Own Grace.

You Are That Face

of That Grace Shining!

Behold! i have become like the Sun of Shams!

Reflecting only Your Splendour,

the Hallway of Eternity

Breaks forth with New Light!

 

Your LoveLight has Fallen

like Red leaves all around me.

Crimson and Amber Taste Us,

and Tasting only Sweet Amrita,

the Nectared One Spills into God -

 

Spilling God into Everything.

There Is an Ocean Rising, Rising...

 

We Have Risen again as Christ Calling.

 

 

LoveAlways,

 

Mazie

 

 

 

 

Trying to access some kind of Song,

Someone wouldn't let me be other than You.

No delete key to decant or deny, just "Hi! i'm You,

and You certainly keep saying You're me!"

This is so. This is just So more than So can ever show.

This Same Somebody sure is a Busybody sometimes.

Computers keep kicking out cantos of come-ons,

Come-Ons from the Most Beautiful,

the most Beautiful, most Beloved,

the One we've been mentioning, time to time.

This being a big "Yes!" brought forth from some wild,

some weirdly and Wondrous, Wild kind of Thing,

i'll keep calling out like a crazy-baby babbling,

cruisin' along clueless, Bewildered, in Awe,

cruisin' to Mecca somewhere along the Alhambra,

or it could be Calistoga, or this moment, This Moment.

Kaaba-talkin' tattletale, talkin' 'bout the Grace-Face,

the Same Face that faces You each morning in the mirror.

Marvelous Mask of Love giving the Skinny on being skewered,

being put inside the Poet's Pit and lifted out as 'Burnt Kabob'.

A cruisin' Kaaba-bob, burnt kabob, Kissing God as Bob.

This is sounding too silly, so silly, so i say:

See ya in the Sightless-Seeing Surround-Sound Sonnet of Love Saying -

 

"Ohhh, I See You, but do You See ME?"

 

Just say i Am You.

Shams and Rumi said It. Say It!

Now, Sing It! Sing "i Am You".

Ha! Sounds like Kaaba(n)-Fever to me!
