DarkPoetry Poem of the Day: Little Bones

Devils child, Childs play
Can you see the raining hell today?
Massive scars of painted dreams
Lullabies are heated things

Playground made of jagged glass
Careful don't fall on your ass
Can these bleeding eyes not cry?
Children's tears fall from the sky

Wounded knees on the skipping stones
Lay canvases of little bones
Screaming little voices near
Make your ear drums bleed from fear

Haggard voices whispering fast
Taunting you with toys of the past
Do you want your doll today?
Or should I just throw it way?

Quiet anger fills the room
The only haven is the tomb
A pocket full of poises dear
For your bedtime does draw near

A pill for some restful sleep
And may your little eyes cease to peep
Kindergarten wishes dear
May the cradle of the dead draw near

How interesting that this poem about very physical work has such a gentle tone. My husband has embraced gardening with a vengeance this summer (he's chronicling his experiences at www.thegardeninggeek.net), so Bruce's poem really hits home.. I love how the tool changes with the season, and how one season flows into the next. Today's poem is  "Middle-Aged Men, Leaning"   by Bruce Taylor  Thanks for subscribing to www.YourDailyPoem.com!   Jayne Jaudon Ferrer

[Poetry Chaikhana] Meher Baba - The Beloved's Face

Here's your Daily Poem from the Poetry Chaikhana --

 

The Beloved's Face By Meher Baba (1894 - 1969) English version by Naosherwan Anzar   Ever since I saw the Beloved's face, its lines have etched themselves on my heart. I still nurse the wound of separation within me -- it has left me broken. Flowing tresses may be a snare and a net: those are pagan tresses whose lure, like the bulbul, has sprung from the head, bogged in the heart. When ego is erased, duality disappears: God's lover is himself God. This is the heart's only home -- the heart in the lover, the lover in the heart. O Seeker, you make a show of public worship, then claim your share of desires. The true lover carries within him, in secret, the name of God. Strange are the ways of the enlightened ones. They weep and laugh in one breath, scorn on the lip, grace in the heart, profanity on the tongue, praise in the heart. Some say God dwells in the temple, others put him in the mosque. What do you seek abroad, ignorant one? Realize, oh Huma, God is within you.   -- from The Beloved Sings of Love: Songs of Meher Baba (Audio CD), Translated by Naosherwan Ansar Amazon.com / Photo by jenny downing /

Hi Omss -

Something for you today by Meher Baba, considered by his followers to be the avatar of the age. He is an important spiritual teacher of the 20th century, bridging Muslim and Hindu traditions, inspiring seekers of the East and West. In popular culture, he was known for his influence on the rock band The Who, a key inspiration for their rock opera Tommy.

Meher Baba was himself a great lover of sacred poetry, inspiring many poets and translators, including Francis Brabazon and Daniel Ladinsky (well-known for his playful poetry in the spirit of Hafiz). Perhaps less well known is that Meher Baba composed his own songs and poetry.

Ever since I saw the Beloved's face,
its lines have etched themselves on my heart.

Take a moment and gently read through the lines.

This is the heart's only home --
the heart in the lover, the lover in the heart.

Savor.

The true lover carries within him, in secret,
the name of God.

And chuckle.

profanity on the tongue, praise in the heart.

And have a beautiful day!

What do you seek abroad, ignorant one?
Realize, oh Huma, God is within you.

Ivan
