Your hand is always in mine
your whispered endearments are my constant companion
you have never turned your face from me
no matter how many times I have turned from you
now I vow undying love
I meet you in the secret places I used to hide from you in
I hold you with tenderness I used to reserve for my pain
I would give you my life and my breath in an instant
for you are my true love
the one with no form
the one who has never been anywhere, but right here
in the singing of my heart

“I first picked up this gem of a book about a decade ago, around the time I was discovering Nirmala and his teachings in the non-dual tradition. Here Nirmala shares his beautiful experiences of Awakening through his own unique heartfelt poems. Enlightened spiritual poetry not unlike other mystical offerings like Rumi, the Songs of Kabir or Lao Tzu's sayings. I continue to find fresh inspiration whenever I open these pages, and with an open heart dare to let myself be touched.” –Akash, BC
“At a meditation retreat I was leading at Harbin Hot Springs, a participant handed me your free book of spiritual poetry, Gifts with No Giver. From the moment I opened it, my heart soared into the realms of Silence that your words invited. Tears of truth touched my soul. I have so wanted to savor each poem that I have been reading only one every few days. I love squeezing the juice out of each poem! Thank you for the depths that you have traveled inside yourself that allows your words to thrust me inward." –Peter Rengel, Retreat Leader and author of Living Life in Love and Seeds of Light
“If you are looking for a book of spiritual poetry to help light your spiritual path, this book will be a good choice. The subtitle of the book, A Love Affair with Truth, describes well the theme of this collection of spiritual poems. Nirmala's depth of insight is well represented.” -Gloria Achterberg
"I have experienced so much love and joy reading these spiritual poems. I don't read them quickly; I take my time to savor and feel their depth. I'll find a favorite, and then another. There is so much love and truth in them. I will cherish this book forever." - Nancy R.
"So much like a modern day Rumi. I understand most of Rumi but sometimes have to be in a meditative mood in order to get it. Not so with this very lovely clearly written piece of work . Thank you so much for the opportunity. I have already mentioned this free spiritual poetry ebook to one of the other writers in my Visionary poets class." - Amazon customer

Why fear this moment
when no thoughts come
at last I lie naked
in the arms of experience
why fear this moment
when no words come
at last I find rest
in the lap of silence
why fear this moment
when love finds itself alone
at last I am embraced
by infinity itself
why fear this moment
when judgment falls away
at last my defenses
fail to keep intimacy at bay
why fear this moment
when hope is lost
at last my foolish dreams
are surrendered to perfection
nothing seen is wasted
the sight of every eye
increases the range of vision
of that which sees
every sight is a gem
of pure perfection
in the inner eyes
of that which sees
each viewpoint
lives on forever
nothing can die
within that which sees
look deeply into any eye
beyond your reflection
come face to face
with that which sees
abandon appearance
let go of pretense
you are naked and exposed
before that which sees
do not turn away your gaze
no need to hide
only love shines in the eyes
of that which sees
The past is long gone
from here
there is no way back
how could there be
the present is over too quickly
for feeble desires
to have any effect
except to hide peace
the future races ahead
forever out of reach
of dreamy wishes
and useless plans
and yet when I rest
in the endless now
every need is satisfied
in ways never imagined
I have fallen in love with truth
I only want to be with her
I can not stand to be apart
I would gladly go to the ends of the earth
or I would never again move from this spot
just to be sure to inhale her fragrant perfume
with my dying breath
I have fallen in love with truth
her every wish my command
I simply must obey
for she has captured my soul
and taken complete control
of even my innermost thoughts
freeing me to find repose
in her unadorned splendor
I have fallen in love with truth
with exquisite tenderness she shows me
the perfection in my every flaw
no need for pretense
for she knows everything about me
and yet takes me in her arms
with complete abandon
until only she remains
