Dare

O dark was the night
days dim darker
go to the burn and scratch the scar
mountains a fire
walk
inside yourself
murmurs of the heart
listen listen listen
tear drop
drip drip drip
cracks open unlock exposed wider
embrace
may i you let me cry in your arms
hold
so i fall back lean back fall
and...Exhale
i know you can
remember how remember when
Exhale
yeah just like that…
and again
         one more time again….

An initiation of life
emergence from shadows
seek and find…found…be found
vision a visionary
what do you draw forth draw in close nearby closer
   
    LOVE
a fool for Love
Do you Dare
hold nothing back
nothing
dare bring your whole self whole self and more
and show love
yes over and over and over
tip toe into to towards through blissful terror mystery wonder

Love full fiercely
forever being everlasting always
yeah just like that...
surrender all to
                     LOVE
                Do you Dare...

Self Observation

Tea Time Talks

Lets have tea
today
will you have tea with me
here come
to the head of the table
come sit near come sit next to me

tell me...how do you want me to be with you

do you know
the way you hold yourself tells a story
eyes yet another
and
may i ask you a question...
what is that story you keep spinning round round up and down
come sit and tell me
share the riddle song melody that you play
name note label every detail
listen hear…i am here

Finding a way back to that familiar place
many times been free before born freedom
out into space that which is around
 no self selfless Self
and what remains
See self sense Self always changing
bring your whole self 
same same never changing

do not hold back
hold nothing back
eyes open outside in wider than before
what are you
                 not willing to see...
past to present there and gone
look its no where to be found
hungry ghosts knocking at thy door
visiting in the wee hours of the night
an alchemy of choice yes no maybe
This thought belief habit calcified to Truth
yet this Truth is not mine never was never will be never

slow it down
please slow it down
slow slow Slow
slow it way down
deep deep knowing this body never lies
try so hard
already arrived
      You Have All Ready Arrived
that story oh yes...raise the glass toast
        cheers...  

HOLDING….Hold Heavy in Your Arms

Hold
hold close
hold me so close
still closer
and tight
hold me tight
squeeze tighter
every inch corner crevasse
every muscle
hold hold hold
tight tight squeeze tighter…
tight
until
i collapse
crash break and
crumble
fall back into your embrace
hold close…
heavy in your arms
You know me and
i already feel you
we see not from this place
and we are not of this land
How do we live this mystery life energy play of wonder
this…all of this
and more…
do we really need you-me-him-her-us-we another to feel truth connect with god
to get lost in worlds with out language
holy sacred temples
mystical magical fortress i crown thee king and queen…
Hold
close near
hold nothing back
together you and i may we be alone
hand in mine and
               we will live forever...

STAY

Run Numb Spin Drift Walk Away
Hide
hide in the shadows
where do you hide
and do you even want to be found
What troubles you so my friend

Be found
may i find you
hold in an embrace
do not escape…not just yet
     Stay
root down
plug in
ground through
find earth
mother earth
summons near
close
still closer
my dear one may you
Stop Sit
     Stay
Stand Still...
pause to gaze at the shooting stars
listen to the crickets screaming thy name
one more breath to savor each leaf fall to the ground
     Stay
enough to be captured by LIFE
captivated mesmerized hypnotized
stars illuminate dark cloudy days
surprise gifts all around always fall from the open skye
 
   Stay
just a few more minutes to taste love at the tip of the tongue
love teaching you to express
                LOVE….

What are we waiting for....

how do we view this life
from darkness to shadow into light
dark-nes dark night calls thy name
tipped upside down mountain skye cloud reflection in the waters
         Tell me all you See...
sun kissed eyes wide open
     i See
writings all over the walls
pictures painted clear and clearer
yes
     i See
demon evil spirits pumping through skin veins blood
hover close to bone
inject thy sacred medicines
poison possessed
flow into through
slithering way into crack spaces
intoxication to the core
smother bind bound heart tied knot inside out
talk so familiar
yes...those demons i know well
     i See
smoke breath in the chill evening air
stand still frozen shivers numb
seeing self seen
     i See
words lost voices disappear vanish forever
dissolve to the ethers
gone goodbye...

Where do we flow from into through drift drift drifting off deeper
Why run so fast
away
up up up and away
     wait
would you wait
while
streams and rivers move down past out
far and beyond
elsewhere
move like water
drip drip drip
water-falls-rain-falling
would you
     wait
or race back dash off turn the other way
around spin round and round
do you dare wait

     wait
what are we waiting for...
