I have used my poetry as a record or journal of my mystical experiences, which include both the essence and form. I have attempted to express this wholisticness in my poetry, how well I have succeeded I will leave up to you as the reader to judge.
Although I am not sure who first perceived God in motion as feminine (Lila), I am sure it was some ancient poet who utilized this imagery of the Lover and Beloved to express his love affair with God, as the Dance and Dancer.
This imagery and relationship of Lover and Beloved works well for me also, to express the Satyam (Love), Shivam (Harmony), and Sundaram (Beauty & Joy), nature of God (Life) that I experience, and wish to share with my poetry.
