Secrets

Some look for you in Bethlehem
Others turn, round and round,
around Ka'aba
In giant Churches;
immense Mosques
and Golden Temples;
In Rules
In masses and mass
desperately searching for your reflection
awaiting you rise and enlighten their minds

How useless

I do know
where you can be find
every night
Dark midnights
In ruins of my life
In solitary pain of sins
alone with the alone
The Midnight Sun

Every one told me,
“boy, you need to be careful, the World is a jungle”
No one unveiled
Yet the animal driven me
Most of them warned me
“beware of your sinful mind”
No one shared
Hers with mine
Captured in the impure motion of our kind
Freedom became a lie in our mind

I want to feel free to undergo the deeper prison in me

[Neda: Persian girl name means Voice;Call]

Dear Neda,

First time I saw you, it was at streets of Tehran. First time was the last, your photo reached me hours after you died fighting for freedom. Now, the streets of Holland; America; England but for most the streets of our loved Tehran is full of your name and your call for Freedom. You didn't carry any weapon except your iron will. I kisses those hands.

In darkness is eminence

Hidden, thus before you

Mythic; melancholic

Glamorous and gigantic

Eye blinding

Thus hidden and dark

The port of majesty

open and wide to the man of light

The mirror-man

Eminent

Uncontaminated

Through

The Call

The Nostalgic

The Memory

Through

The Catharsis

It is the resonance of your heartbeat
In my whispering voice
The poem is a stream of
Your temptation falling on my lips

To enter you
And to heal the broken mirror of your heart
To realize that I am thou . . .

Love,
Shervin

Promised Land (c)Mnemosyne

Promised Land

New York Notes by Shervin
Chapter 3 Secrets of Sufism

Promised Land (to Mnemosyne)

There is promised land in all of us
There is a fertile ground within
Yet we needed to search with-out
For years
To arrive

Vast distances we put behind
Different hearts
We examine
Different tongues
We hear
Before we enter
inside

There is joy out there,
Yes there is,
There is passion
And in being everymen’s lover,
Yes there is,
There is genuine love out there,
Oh yes,
so much love


Yet, we will move on
say good by
and farewell
once more
and each time
we are nomadic from within


Then,
One dark night
There will be this infinite silence,

It will awake you,
You will look in the sky,
You will look in the mirror

And the night will comfort you,
And you will seat on the ground,
And you will closed your eyes,
They had seen so many
They had seen so much,

You go back to your origin
The dark gap everything started with
In that space
you will find comfort
And a smile will come to your lips
And you feel your body grows in the dark,
And your feel that your legs go under the surface
And your arms reach the sky

You will become fertile
You flourish
You are fruitful
You are holding the ground
Your arms are moving with the wind
You feel playful
And you send
Sensual kisses to the heaven

Then,
Your eyes will open up
They will see the sky
The ceremony of stars flare

And then they look down,
They see the dark wealthy ground
your surrounding,
The see the beautiful fruits your body brings up

And they will see
that you are grounded next to this deep blue lake
It is looking at you,
The lake,
It is,
Reflecting you
And in this reflection
you see love and tenderness
And a tear will fall to your left cheek,
And the reflection of the tear in the lake
will become a pearl

Then you know,
Then you are,
You become
The promise land.

about me
This is love: to fly to heaven, every moment to rend a hundred veils;
At first instance, to break away from breath -- first step, to renounce feet;
To disregard this world, to see only that which you yourself have seen6 to see only that which you yourself have seen" -- Nicholson's version is "(not to see your own eye) whence all objects derive their unreal existence..
I said, "Heart, congratulations on entering the circle of lovers,
"On gazing beyond the range of the eye, on running into the alley of the breasts."
Whence came this breath, O heart? Whence came this throbbing, O heart?
Bird, speak the tongue of birds: I can heed your cipher!
The heart said, "I was in the factory whilst the home of water and clay was abaking.
"I was flying from the workshop whilst the workshop was being created.
"When I could no more resist, they dragged me; how shall I
tell the manner of that dragging?"

Secrets of Sufism -- Darshan the Dancer

New York Notes
Chapter 3

Secrets of Sufism
(Darshan the belly dancer)

Say No

If you desire dance
Just say “No”

If you desire
- the motion of -
duality
Just say “No”

If you dream eternity
Just say “No”

How to become?
Just say “No”

How to believe?
Just say “No”

How to flow?
Just say “No”

Look
through the surface of the sea
And say “No”

Listen
beyond words
And say “No”

Feel,
from within,
And say “No”


No-thing
No-where
No-body

Detach to become
Denial to devote
Destroy to defeat

Put the ordinary behind
Put the form behind
Put the beauty behind

The miracle comes to view
The nature,
appears,
The love surrounds you

Say “No”
Yet, in a secret phrase
Say “No”, with a hidden tongue

Say “La”
Like my masters did

Exhale “La”
- Exhale as a genuine beast, we are no little birds! -
And the sacred inhalation will get to you

Say “La” and make the sign,
Draw “La” as I will teach you

Remember,
your left hand is your magicians mark
Bring the right shoulder
The fever of the mystic hand

Stay there
Feel the silence capturing you

Let the hand slip down,
As it desires
Bring it
By a subtle wave
to the left side of your belly,

Inhale and move the hand
all the way
to the right side of the belly,
Feel the inner motion of divinity,

When you are there,
your are on your way

Let the hand waving up to the yearning heart
Let divine touch the nostalgic spirit

Touch and dive then to the sky,
Up with the hand and breathe out: “LA”
