Eric Micha'el Leventhal Poems
For as long as anyone could remember,
there had been a legend among the people,
telling of a group of immortal warriors
who lived in a forbidden temple
...
Many of us find it difficult to believe
that events are always conspiring
to deliver to us the object of our deepest desire.
...
The meek and the faithful await the Redeemer,
they preach and they prostrate in pulpit and pew;
they bow to Jerusalem, Mecca, Medina,
though none be so great as the Gospel of You.
...
Perception is the vessel
through which this world emerges.
Seeing this,
...
I am the poet who writes from the ashes
of an all-consuming encounter
at the edge of the world.
...
They heated the bowels of the Earth with their fire,
and frolicked and mingled all night and all day.
Without them the warmth of the land would expire;
thus all Earth’s creations relied on their play.
...
If you were to awaken,
one fine aeon,
within the garden of Infinity,
would you not naturally desire to know
...
Our minds see two where there is one;
one life springs up, another done.
Why bless your in and curse your out?
So what is all the fuss about?
...
You are blessed
to have been ignorant of your own beauty
until now.
...
Just because you're not aware,
doesn't mean it isn't there.
Just because your mind can't take it,
doesn't mean Life didn't make it.
...
If I were you,
then I'd do as you do.
And if you were me,
then you'd see as I see.
...
Of all the countries I have ever seen,
my favorite nation is the one called Love.
Love claims no borders, issues visas none,
...

The Best Poem Of Eric Micha'el Leventhal
The Second Sound
For as long as anyone could remember,
there had been a legend among the people,
telling of a group of immortal warriors
who lived in a forbidden temple
far from the great city.
One day in the life of men,
a group of the city's most powerful warriors
decided they could no longer bear the shame of knowing
that there existed warriors more fearless than they.
They decided they would challenge these immortal warriors
and become themselves the gods of their people.
So they journeyed to the place of the temple
and gathered round its massive stone walls,
but try as they might,
they could find no entrance.
They pressed their ears to the walls,
but no sound could be heard from within.
They whooped and shouted and made their war cries,
but only silence came to greet them.
Finally their leader, a great sage,
realized and announced to the proud warriors
that the only method of entry,
the only way any one of them could gain access to the temple,
would be to transform himself
into one of the immortals.
And so the warriors relented and huddled outside the temple walls.
They journeyed within themselves and encountered the powers who sleep in shadow.
They mastered their fear
and, in so doing, raised themselves to the level of the immortals.
At that moment they heard the first sound:
The massive stone walls slid apart to permit their entry.
Eager to encounter and defeat their immortal foes,
they rushed into the temple.
And though they searched everywhere within,
no war cries came but their own;
and the only warriors they found were each other.
And that is when they heard the second sound...
of the massive stone walls sliding back together around them.
And for as long as anyone can remember,
there is a legend among the people,
telling of a group of immortal warriors
who live in a forbidden temple
far from the great city.
