<p>We are crying to our lord and master without peer:all but his long curly hair is small and cheap beer.</p><p>We have lit a candle to his blazing presence,and written many a ghazal about his essence.</p><p>We can’t help but sob a big puddle yet again:whatever we have to say ruins paper and pen!</p><p>We have nothing at all to say that can exalt him;our best praise bumps along like a bloody hymn.</p><p>We mumble to find a phrase that doesn’t quite snarl;it turns out our loving is nothing but a quarrel!</p><p>We would shut up and forget all about such love-if we didn’t think someone else deserved a shove!</p><p>To be sure, Darvish is inspired by two buck chuck;but we have to say, all but <em>the beloved</em> bloody sucks!</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Radicalized Poet at <a href="https://billgannett.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">billgannett.substack.com/subscribe</a>

<p>Green grows the heart’s longing, vines on fireBreathing your name in love’s ascending gyre.</p><p>Green grows the longing heart skyward, brightTongues of flame praising the sweet Word of light.</p><p>Your name, your bright name is our dawn laughterThat rises and resounds to announce the Master.</p><p>Starlight dreams its way into sleeping stone,Becomes the gold hammered into your throne.</p><p>The car that carries you across the skySings your bright name of mercy as it flies.</p><p>Meher is light spilling infinite blissOn all galaxies throughout the universe.</p><p>The tangle of wild roses in Darvish’s heartHave bloodied him with thorn and graceful art.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Radicalized Poet at <a href="https://billgannett.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">billgannett.substack.com/subscribe</a>

<p>Where the way and where the path that arrives at your feet?Open the door and open the heart that we abide in love street.</p><p>We have heard, no man has increased his height by taking thought;We have heard, silence is genius that can never be taught.</p><p>The sun rises, the sun sets, and the mind whirls ’round and ’round;And my beloved glides through the night, full, without a sound.</p><p>I hold out my empty skull as a wine bowl for her to fill;Maybe, maybe this raging will be drowned, and become still.</p><p>But by the beloved’s glance, the door to del is slammed shut;the heart will never reveal spirit, but chase some tawdry slut.</p><p>Master, fill the crystal skull with wine that opens the doorand ushers me to regale you, like a drunk, on the floor.</p><p>Darvish’s whining for a drink has become indiscreet;all his pounding has yet to open the door to love street.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Radicalized Poet at <a href="https://billgannett.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">billgannett.substack.com/subscribe</a>
