Poetry

Little boy
Deep inside the confident man
Screams for attention
Begs to be heard
Needs to be loved
Little boy ...

Amazing beauty in the world in which we live
In the smile of a wonderful princess of hope
In the warm and luscious flavor of mocha cappuccino
In the reawakening mysteries of romance rediscovered
Amazing flow of life above, below, and through
The free flight of a bird over the ebbing waves touching a heart ...

Just beneath the surface
Of a loving and confident smile
Lies a sleeping dragon
The fear of losing you, yet again
Only love will displace the rising fear
Only a miraculous touch of God ...

Your gentle touch
Warms first my skin
Then it warms my heart
And lights my soul afire
Your pleasing fragrance
Moves me to pleasure ...

your words sing in my deepest soul
in oneness, the words of one poem flow
all that is imagined and real
are in your words, your song, your holy dance
passion burns away the fears
leaves the pure and rising truths ...

On an ordinary day
Walking down a familiar street
I open my eyes
And you are there
I wonder if I am dreaming
Your perfection overwhelms ...

Exploding
In a moment of shared fire
Passion flowing
Two hearts collide
Remembering
The sweetness of your kiss ...

The heart is a muscle
It is merely a pump
Moving blood from here to there
It is not the home of feelings
Feelings are thoughts
Deeper, more instinctual ...

In the grander image
Perspective changes
And all time and space
Collapse into the void
In the higher realities
Absolute truths come into focus ...

Waking
He remembered
The lost months
Walking
He renewed
The choice to go on ...

I look to my most authentic self. I ask him my highest and deepest truth. He replies.
She is the one, sent from God’s heart
In only an instant, she melted your soul
In oneness, you walk, and dance and live life
Through fire and water and sunshine and ice
Compassion is hers, her gift and her curse ...

In a nearby coffee shop
Where you and I once shared moments of love
I sit alone
Wondering what went wrong
On the cusp of fresh tears
My eyes cloudy by the moisture ...

With each passing year
I grow more appreciative
Of your pure and constant love
For me
You teach me the value
Of living life ...

Passing breezes
move the trees, the leaves
the seeds from the dandelion
Passing winds
bend the branches
caress the ocean waves ...

Such confidence in her stride
Such radiance on her face
And yet, within her heart
Her sorrows were not displaced
She strode upon the stage
Standing at the podium, tall ...

The warmth returned
With the glow in his eyes
As Friday moved
Toward its end
A week of sorrows
And pains and thrills ...

The King of kings
Crowned for all time
Heavenly light
Glory divine
Streaming white rays
Flow from His hands ...

As dawn awakens
As a new day rises
As tomorrow arrives
Possibilities multiply
The weight of a world
So many, alone ...

What is life, if not a teacher?
We walk and we run
Each day, till it’s done
Hopefully finding
Some laughter and fun
Awake and alive ...

Dreaming of a moment
When peace pervades my heart
Dreaming of tomorrow
And hoping grace will start
Wishing for release
From suffering today ...

I am created to be loved
I am intended to be me
I am blessed to be here
I am graced to be free
I am alive in beauty
I am flowing with joy ...

Your profile
Great beauty
In your motions
In your hands
As the sun shines
Through your expansive windows ...

From the deepest part of my soul
I hear your love as it calls out to me
From the wonder of the miracle of you
My heart finds its other perfect half
Out of the constant everflowing song of life
Comes the magic of our joining souls’ song ...

Pains
Aching
In my back
Spreading downward
To swollen ankles
To my more swollen feet ...

Born in perfection
From an environment of peace
Thrust into a world
Of fears and sorrows
Fear is the father of vice
Sorrow, the mother of loss ...

Jim and Kate smile
Husband and wife
Hanging Christmas lights
Sipping hot chocolate
Jim and Kate laugh
At a thought shared ...

He learned only today
Two weeks left to live
Cried a hundred tears
Found some unmet fears
Realized as the sun was setting
A half a day wasted ...

Lust
Rising
Bodies hot
Writhing lovers
Longing to be touched
Breathing accelerates ...

Opening his eyes
He turns his head slightly
Sees she is there
Still sleeping
Angelic
Beautiful ...

The astounding and unending glory of your beauty
Shines majestically in magnificence
You are the brightest of all the stars
Overpowering all others in your light
All I see today is your beauty
And all I see is brightened and enlightened ...

Pain still greets her
Twenty years after
That horrid night
Pain still greets her
As she wakes
From something like rest ...

The tears of pity
Whether for self or others
Quench no miseries

Dark rhythmic refrains
Move the song’s flow
Karmic reflections’ truth
Harvest what they sow
Purple is the color
Of a rising generation ...

Red
Blood flows
Through open wounds
Painful
Yet strangely compelling
Red ...

Too many thoughts to process
Since I destroyed the dam
That held so many secrets
Behind the impenetrable concrete
Too many unfelt feelings
As I experience life anew ...

He rode the waves of blissful destiny
Tossed by the currents rising
Touching, tasting, feeling, sharing
Words of a heart bruised and real
He captured the hearts of a few
Tossed by his rising tides ...

Songbird greets the day
Sings to all who will hear her
Given and received

Called to the streets
Enlivened in the sound
Of the beat
Endless
Rolling
Flowing ...

The gray dimness of yesterday’s misery
Is fading into the glossy black of evil
Pure and void, lost in realms undiscovered
Led by the devious servants of deaths
Awakening to the dark and winding rhythms
The child remembers the moment when all was dark ...

Mike was today, as every day, inquisitive.
His early teachers called him gifted and brilliant;
His schoolmates called him odd and unwelcome.
Over time, he learned
To exist in the serenity
Of the walls he built ...

When
Two hearts
Joined by fate
Combine
Merge
When ...

She moves as the wind
Chilling me to the bone
As she touches my mind
Flows through my flesh
She is the summation
And the intersection ...

Searching for truths
Amidst human perceptions
Everything clouded
By memories from the past
How much separation
Between love and fear ...
