love day



wrote on february 14 2013

today is love day.
today, i do love thee.
as well as tomorrow
and the days to come.

to love is a gift and to know how to love with a truly open heart can be challenging.  i constantly am reminding myself ... asking myself ... did i look at that situation, that person with an open heart ... a place of love?

if you can do that, then all will be well, always.  it's just harder than it sounds.  the ego, amongst many other little beasts, get in the way and absorb the love that could come from most situations.

make everyday LOVE day.  come to the table of life with an open heart.

my love.


my love.

if i could tell you how i feel or how i understand what we have, i would.

but i do in a quiet way.
i tell you a little in every way.
i show you more everyday.

it's quiet and comforting, i understand and i don't.

you come to me, like a shining knight, even though i know you are only a man.

i expect nothing from you and everything, and you handle it quite well,
like only a knight can.

this, is a blessing.

for you are what you are and cannot change, nor derail from your course.
you will follow it beautifully, without fail.

you come to me, in quiet strength, solemn strides.

clearing the way, one swing at a time
through the brush
you make light through the branches
and i feel the fresh soil and see
the uncharted trail awaiting.

we are quiet in our love and purity has been ours.

i am rested in our peace and have forsaken turmoil forever more.

it happened between us.


what has happened between us is a journey
we have collided and are walking as one
for where you go, i will go
for what you love, i will love
for who you will be, i walk beside thee
and love.

I am thirsty.



My love, my love, I do love thee.

You are the strength in my bones,
the stretch in my skin,
harnessing in this fire
is your well of water.

I drink from it,
taste and quenched,
I am not.
I am thirsty, for you.

summer lovin'

cold beer slides, yum, reminds me of this pure summer - how the bite of the stout quenches the heat.

heat, i love it on my body - reminding me of every inch of flesh i am graced with. along with the wind and water, i am in for a delightful, magical moment of realizing how alive (and lucky) i truly am, for now.  always, because i know better, for now.

but it does sit still - it has to - because i want it to.  i really do have the power to pause time when i wish, or when the stars align, granting some moments of neither mortality or im - just is.  damn, i love this.

there's a little rock, a little fan, a lot of sun - a lot of "nowness" and, good lovin', my days of summer.

we running, laughing, and shutting our mouths.  sharing, dipping into this divine (and thin) line of peace, a sanctuary for a promised time.  it embraces us to rest, concur memories or dream the future.  the hopes, the clarity we receive on the white sand, rushing waves, and still water.

the sun penetrates us day after day, giving to us forever (or at least a season) the beauty of more life, but less is more.  damn, all i can think of , is how freakin' lucky am i?

it's like this place, this time has been secretly planning a moment as such (like it's its job or something) to vacuum us in a moment of pure rest, a melting pot of reality and dreams, transforming all that happened this year (and before) into picture perfect clarity ... like we can sit back and view it as a painting in the louvre.

but we won't really notice, nor will it take effect until a little later in life.  no one knows.

at this point though, the sun infiltrates my body - as to become one with me.  and you can tell we have mated, for the gold rays that lay beneath my skin report of nothing but a summer love affair.  all glistened and golden... it'll stay for awhile, but then, like the summer itself, my love affair has ended -
gradually, and without notice ...

until i can't even remember the wildly passionate and easy love that danced across my skin.

i thought about you

i thought about you
and how i needed you
how you changed me
and loved me
how you gathered me up
and picked up the pieces
from afar

i thought about you
and the music in my ear
and how i write to see
it clearly
and how i can feel you
constantly

i thought about you
and the dreams that
live within
and the inspiration
that you give me

i thought about you
and how you are blessed
and beautiful
that you are perfect
in every way

i thought about you
and how i love you
dawn until dusk
and even in my dreams
just the way you are.

papa

there once lived a man
that we call papa
he loves a good snack
and he will always
peel you an apple.

he is crafty like that
has many tricks
up his sleeve
he could teach you
how to do
just about anything.

yes sir,
a good man to have
around
he'll even sing you a song
and has a pretty good sound.

you'll always find him outside
playin' in the dirt
six days a week
he'll teach you about hard work.

if you ask him his thoughts
boy, he'll tell you right away
no beatin' round the bush
he'll help show you the way.

that's when he'll tell ya
his philosophy on life...
"you must work hard every day
to avoid all the strife."

and he'll go on
preaching away,
"you gotta learn how to trade
if you wanna have it made!"

he'll also spin you a riddle
finding words is his fortay
and he always loves a good joke
especially when it's time to partaaay!

yes ma'am
the man knows a good time
we always love being with him
when it's time for whiskey and wine.

then it's time to relax
he'll talk all the way
he likes to sit and chat
and wants to hear
all about your day.

he's cool like that
good conversation he talks
because he loves us so much
and cares about our walk.

so that's our lil' papa
we love him so dear
that all together now
as a family....

as this father's day ends
we'll say a little prayer
to thank him and say,
"amen, sister, amen!"

all you need is love

today i learned
the most important thing ~
being ~ any,
is love.

you've got to
really let love in.
it will behave
how it must and should
and all you do is
welcome it.

give your all
in love.
open your self up
to the possibilities.

do not hesitate
to hold on because
of fear
you'd have to let go.
enjoy what's in front
of you
for exactly what it is
or who it is.

all you need is love.

love thy brother as thyself and
thy world shall be well.

i bend

the moment has grown
where i have kissed your lips
and have liked the
after taste.
ripe and ready,
divine to my world.

your words spoken softly,
but surely off your tongue
are in line with my bones.

every last word, i stand behind.

i soften, i bend, i smile at
what seems so regular and
pure in your world, my world.

i bite, waiting to swallow.

if you were an apple

distant you seem
in the hallow of your heart
maybe your off in some crazy dream.
day dreamer, my love, you're going
too far. you've been gone too
long - loneliness in my heart.

ripened you are, awaiting the pick.
you've grown full and ready to eat.
i'll reach up and take you,
for what you are.

heart,
i am in love with love.

i am full of it, alive.
want,
i and you.

only to mend you

can love tear you down,
and lift you up,
restless, and holding you in it's arms.
invisible love, unexpected affection
can you learn to love again.
new ways, loved ways and earning potential
every second its alive.
can it push and pull, rip you to shreds
only to mend you in the best ways.
no pinpointing, no understanding -
just being.
it is and will be.
rushing thoughts, wild dreams
it helps you breathe?
and wake anew.
like a vision in the far distance
that you cannot touch, nor shall you.
only dream a little dream,
just because.
just because it is.

one complete heart

we love like friends have always loved
we know each others' way.
we've seen into each other eyes a thousand times
and still wish to see them each new day.
we forgive so easily,
for we are the other half of heart.
     if you fall, i will carry you.
     if you sit, i will wait.
we love like friends have always loved
for we each have found and fulfilled;
one, complete heart.

forgiveness

shouting and turmoil,
consistent threads in the blanket we have woven.
you on eggshells, in your world.
me, clueless on how to make it better.
years and years of hope lost,
dreams vanished,
i understand your pain.
i forgive you,
though you may not know what you do.
it's hard on me,
to see this,
feel this...
but life deals these hands often
and i pray, i pray, i pray
for god's grace and understanding
so that i may learn to deal,
and to forgive over and over again
easily in my heart.

love, life

my love
my companion
      free
      humble
      gracious
on top of the world
blessed
       at last
my heart cries out
       for you
       for your touch
       your kind words
that voice that eases all pain
the way you were beautifully made
i've dreamed about you
       not knowing who you were
       or what you were like
but knowing that your soul
       was waiting
       and i was waiting
on you
to join me
to walk down this life
hand in hand
       loving
       caring
       comforting
each other for all times.
the hassle of the world
       passes by
       fades away
when i dream of life
       with you
       life with you
is where i want to be
       seeing you
       touching you
       breathing you
i want to be there
       when you awake
       and when you lay your head
i want to be there
       when you are soaring high
       or when you fall
i want to pick you up
to hold you tight
when you cry
        or when you laugh
i will be by your side.
i am comforted
         i am sound
         i am free with you
now that i've found you
         i can be still
         i can rest.

the kind you want

i have amazement
drilling from my
fingertips
pulsing,
stripping skin
the layers peel off -
the juicy fruit inside -
the kind you want
to eat and suck dry
until that last sweet,
sweet drop...

the big day

faces smiling
sincereness
secretly passed,
filtered through
handshakes, hugs,
kisses
the bliss
of marriage
promised by
all who were
once young ...
discernment in eyes
hint of silent
goodbyes
unspoken of,
unheard of,
but felt
heavily,
a goodbye
to a former life.

our circle

beyond the outer circle,
into deep space
in a crevice in the concrete.
i will lie.
i will lie
waiting
to comfort your step,
a cushion for the bounce.
a leaf falls to the earth,
yet again to be made new,
recycled possibly
into one human's breath.
i live this life
for the mystery
and ....
hidden spaces, lost time.
the inner circle that beats.
the impulse that drives.
the patterns that are drawn.
and, of course,
for the flowers that bloom
and the fruit that ripens.

beauty, sit on my tongue for a moment,
to help lick the sweat off my lover's brow.

a life of love

in the midst of all the chaos
through every emotion we encounter,
we envision her
our first sign of love in the world.

we see her smile
we remember her eyes
we feel her hands
but her heart, 
her heart we live with forever.

it is the bounce in our step,
the secret ray of sunshine,
our beacon of hope 
that we tuck away in our back pocket
and carry with us every step in our days.

one moment in time connects
our souls forever - 
i part of you and you,
a part of me.
my first sign of love in the world,
my dear, beautiful mother.
