PRECIOUS GEM Oh thou precious beauty gem, That in my loving arms I hold, And softly kiss by tender lips; Oh thou scent of blossom rose That do my nostrils gently fill, With smells of sweetly fragrance taste; Oh thou feel of fantasy fresh That touch my being in tenderness, With shocks and waves of affection feel; I greet the golden heart in thee That moves thy being with love enough, To share with me thy loving life. From the book - POEMS OF LIFE PART TWO: POEMS OF LOVE AND AFFECTION |
DEAR MERRYSOL So sweet a soul are you my dear The sweetest loving Sol Ive met. Like the sweet fragrance of daisies, Carrying such freshness and charm You radiate such a lustrous warmth Of an incomparable love and peace. Such love my soul has dearly sought Such peace my soul has found in you. In sweetness of such soulful love My heart now welcomes yours to it, As if two hearts can be destined as one We find ourselves now to us in love. Now my dearest Angel Sol, Lets sip this love that comes from soul, To cherish and to partake of one With love, in love from all our being Deep from our hearts recesses pot. I cherish you my sweetest Sol. From the book - POEMS OF LIFE |
DREAMING OR NOT As in my dreams We've brought alive That special feeling, And no longer now Can I the difference tell, If it is, a dream or not. Yet one thing remains In all I know; There's something here We have in common In flesh or spirit I care no more, For either way, It's ours for keeps. I touch your substance And feel your affection, As you do the same Of me in love. Grateful and happy For what we've found In each others heart, We can now go forth Sharing the gift (of love), Through every moment left to live. From the book - POEMS OF LOVE |

PARADOXICAL ODDS The end is begun Where the circle to a point comes The edge is centered Where the balance to an angle shifts The pair is single Where the crowd to a person comes. There under lies another top, Just beneath the surface. Somewhere deep within, The middle stays above, For it is by the stakes, That the contest is won or lost. The rolls are reversed, And the last in time is thus the first. The box is flattened, And the square is rounded to a spot. The conclusion is resolved And the cycle is ended to begin again. (Poems for the road) |
GATEWAY Whether anothers gate Do at a time swing, Or ours at the Tisra Do some time creek: Whether we the gate pull And do yonder proceed, Or did it after us close When we hither came, Still, the gate opens, And the way is used By one alone attentive As by all seekers guided. Oliver Mbamara (Poems of Spirit) |

Resurrection of The Prince Within And when the prince has toured the world In search of the glory that he had lost, Led astray by the illusions of his ego, He comes to the threshold of reality Always and ever waiting for his knock. And when the prince abandons his ego, And in humility accepts his fallacies, He unburdens his mind of its illusions And open in him a room for revelation Of that which has hitherto been in him. And thus in humbling of the little self, The prince is exalted to higher realms, Where he shall unite in identification, With the true self and essence he truly is, Always have been and always will be.
