Shakti

Surrounded by swirling waters
A grove of wondrous growth
And dark passages;
In it, a secret chamber
Of lustrous gems;
The abode of Primal Energy-
She who knows how to create life
from her body.
Vibrant and pulsating
She rises-
Bird-like
River-like
Descending on Shiva's head-
Ascending 'Shakti'.

Love poem or RUMI

In your light I learn to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.

You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you,

but sometimes I do, and that
sight becomes this art.
