Satguru

Monklike saffron robed
seated full lotus position
sandalwood incense steaming
after pranayamas
and mantra chants
contemplating cosmos
seeking nirvana
basking in transcendental
bliss and peace profound
alleged saint among saints
sinless, renown Satguru
except for hidden dalliances
with adoring female disciples
obeying his every utterance
catering to his every whim
conned into believing tawdry
tantra sex sessions erase
mountains of bad karma
guarantee full liberation
from the wheel of rebirth
in their lifetimes.

An Illuminating 27th Summer

Heard an old song about a guy born in a summer when he was 27.
I get that song; it was kind of about me, though not directly.
At age 27, sitting in meditation transcending like many other times
Unexpectedly White Light lit up my head like the sun,
An OMG mindblowing moment unexpected and unprepared for.
Knew I was about to merge with the cosmos
And leave everything near and dear behind
Including my girlfriend Ruth, whom I loved dearly.
Frightened, almost shocked, pulled out of meditation shaking
Three green lights flashed above my head bizarrely.
Days later, outside of meditation Kundalini energy
Flowing from the base of my spine to the top of my head
All through the waking state, an upward pristine flow
Incomparable spiritual energy streaming nonstop
Instinctively knew what went up was never coming down
Thought I was entering Cosmic Consciousness prematurely
A chilling thought, strapped in a psychiatric ward implications
Cosmic Consciousness never happened, but could handle it now.
Over 50 years later, Light born spiritual energy still flows upward
From that OMG mindblowing awakening in an illuminating summer,
A new and better 27-year-old spiritually remade reborn man.
