About the Book

Do you want to brighten your path to enlightenment?

Hailed as the must have book when you need the rights words to say at that very special moment. Join the many lucky souls who have eyes to see thus did read and those who have ears to hear thus took heed to the wonderful teachings set before us in this classical masterpiece of pure poetic verse that shows the everlasting power of God in man.

This book chronicles the journeys of a man to the stage where he now sits and meditates. Contained within its pages are poems, prayers and odes written as the author felt them. These works are original concepts and without any extensive review or latter editing. Yet they show the state of being as it existed in the time and space which required such thoughts. Spoken truly as poems of the soul.

During the course of writing his poetry, Mark Christafari Dada I often delved into the depths of other beings. Thus acting as the medium to transmit the wails of their souls. He also shares with us his own transient understanding. As the saying goes, "I never met a person I didn't like". I myself can say, "I never met anyone who did not enjoy reading the works of this truly brilliant and uniquely humble soul". For any individual who reads this far and continues not will likewise cut short the growth of their enlightenment.


About the Author

I, Mark Christafari Dada I, proclaim to being a young man who has grown to see things the ways in which they are most apparent. Yet not assuming a heavenly crown or an earthly gavel while coexisting in this time and space continuum. I often refer to myself as the gatekeeper for within me I feel the stir of many souls. This leads to continual enlightenment through the memories rekindled by the inhabitants I cannot set free. So I tell their stories as each beckons. Since this is your introduction to my way of thinking, let me then explain further. I have written without immediate concept, lengthy thought or planning. From the first word until the last I never stopped to organize verses yet always relating to what was in conclusion. Is my own soul so entwined that I am compelled to mire in the bowels of these manifestations? Or will my mere presence be set aside as the message of yore is delivered to its intended ancestor? To this I can only say, "heed the message and spare ye the messenger". So in greetings to all, I come before you bearing presents of mirth and penitence. Wishing only to impart the spoils of my existence upon them that grants me such a reception. For I have long been inspired to write this book by the voices that torment my reality and echoe in my dreams. I now acknowledge the thoughts I had forgot and the many we yet have not. Listening intently to a song with countless words while gazing upon the moon surrounded by nameless stars, all wondering, which they are?


Sample Excerpts

 

Exclusively Mine

There you lie in pose
By any name a rose
Pictured as in a dream
Yet so far away you seem
Wondering!
Is your heart sincerely here
Or with whom
You hold most dear
I want you all
Or not at all
By you
I am so enthralled
These thoughts
Make me blush
As my blood begins to rush
Feeling you on my skin
Digging deeper within
Makes me proud to be someone
Who has grazed
Your sacred land
Now you say

 

Chapter 6 - Misleading Heart

Thou art blest my eyes

Is it not strange that the lessons you learn in love
are so quickly applied to life but in retrospect, life's
teachings are never discerned until the latter stages
of love. How quickly they forget. I have always
through inherent behavior used these two principles
whenever deducing my conduct in either situation.
Firstly, I believe it can never again be all right after
a wrong. Secondly it could possibly end up all
wrong after a right. So I think it best to sprinkle
dust on either side by walking on chalked line. Here
is a quick word of advice. Don't stay in any
relationship you can't explain. The most
pretentious and dishonest person I have met to date
once offered me true love.

 

The Real Me

Let me introduce myself
I am mister happy mister sad
Sometimes good
At else times bad
Being neither here nor there
Someone to love
That everyone should fear
Never trusting solely myself
Yet believing in no one else
A child of man
A Son of God
The best idler the devil ever had
A hero to boot
A villain at hand
The little drummer without a band
Far too honest
To be near the truth
A grown man just in my youth
Matured way beyond my years
Still carrying my childhood fears
I hate to love and love to hate
