Find Me In This Love Poem
It is when the full moon, earth’s blessings
the sun’s intimacy, scented ocean breeze
the breath of light open
It is when, everywhere
the affection of our dreams
the distance uniting our smiles
memories expanding beyond ourselves
our ability to overcome ignorant silence
the script of the horizon upholding our vision
your hand touching my lips, my imagination
thoughts of blessings growing to completion
when hope’s height touches the mountain tops
of our heart, diluting anxiety, anger, adversity,
pain,
when forgiveness heals time’s negativity and
ignorance
when our ability for positive thoughts multiplies
our strength, to grow a miracle in our hearts
When all positive internal forces, angelic
thoughts
remove from the shoulders of the earth the roots
of negativity, when conflict dilutes itself in
honeyed water,
when the sea of the heart grow its flow in
goodness
allowing the currents of tenderness to fill me
with love for you
Then, we replace the imperfection of destiny
with certainty, the wounded reality we delete.
Now stay, not like a dream but real, with me.

Seeds Of Peace
Rare seeds I plant, roots of boundless light,
fruit trees of care and love, in my garden I
plant.
Seeds of hope, compassion, togetherness, in the
garden of the world, I plant,
seeds of expectation, in countless fields of the
world, I plant.
Seeds of understanding I plant,
to grow trust, new plantations of unity.
Seeds of friendship among hostile nations, seeds
of change
in the camps of ancient hate, the light of change,
I plant.
Seeds of nonviolence I plant,
on the continents of confusion,
on lands where the past ignites the present with
blood,
carrying coffins of innocent victims of war.
Seeds of trust I plant,
on new horizons, new seasons of hope,
cultivating fruitful years of the future.
Seeds of sincerity and unity we plant.
In the monopolies of financial dominance,
in the darkness of political irrationality,
in the hell of fanatical madness,
high on the mountains of the soul, peace I plant.
Day and night, I plant in the soil, in the water,
in the air,
in the mind, roots of goodness, day and night I
plant.
Flowers from my heart to your heart, good will,
growing within every heart, flourishing peace.

Heart-Soul Overcomes All Deserts
Desert flowers root and grow
Breath, bloom and bleed on desert land.
How my heart unhurt rooted in yours?
How did I give birth to a new love?
As the Nile’s rich soil fertilizes
Freshness, like a newly born
Fullness with plurality enriches
Caressing harmoniously life still unborn.
How many routes have I encountered?
How many trodden un-trodden footpaths?
How many dangerous avenues?
How many storms I went past?
How many mountains barefoot, I ascended?
How many river currents I followed?
How many bridges I crossed in the dark?
How many stars burnt their gas?
How many hells have I descended?
How many hurricanes I went past?
How many winters under snow covered?
How many times I went unhurt?
How many days in expectation?
How many years of trust?
How many centuries of growth?
How many eternities did I last?
