Poems on the Mind and Heart from Vol.1

I have completely withdrawn my loyalty
To my doubting mind.  
All my loyalties have now gone  
To my aspiring heart.

~

My silence-heart  
Has silenced  
My mind's loudspeaker-sound-pride.

~

No matter how hard we try
To be indifferent to our doubting mind,
The doubting mind monopolises  
Our lives.

~

A devotion-flooded heart  
Can easily avoid  
The mind-trickster.

~

A staunch God-lover knows  
That his heart has the capacity  
To go far beyond  
His mind's authority-limits.

~

You and your heart-garden-beauty
And fragrance  
Will always prevail.

~
