hmmmm...

Choose-Choosing

glass breaks crumble shatter
final chapter
closed book conclusion
    or
just the beginning of another riddle
a new
story
tell all about it
hear and dare not listen
listen and forget to hear.

pick and choose…
what do you live for
Love
     choosing
             Love
                  Lovers Loving
            Choose to Be Loved.
and...
don’t turn
back to pretend nothing
wait
dont drift away
the path right there
yet
        you are blind.
     
This castle on the mountain
knock knock knock
come knocking at thy door
    see through windows
and into writings on the wall
come play…
crowned king and queen
swirl and twirl
hide no more
come 
pluck heart strings
and tune in
a slow melody not heard before
yet
played many times
in every way
from the inside
look watch
      pick choose and
                       step away...

Beginning...Middle...End...Over and Again

Send a letter,
silly notes of words pouring together
say what you can say
mean—ing—less—meaning all
just beginning
we were
i thought
why did we ever start...
      for you to see me to remind you of a story long ago
      for me to see the fullness that resides within through you

love--ing
 Surfaces like wild fire
and dissolves even faster
a slow burn down to the embers
tend closely till the very last drop
moments of time
in seconds
the sacred nectar may spoil and turn…
poison
     Possessed in the blood
run side by side
          with the devil
hand in hand
          with the demons.

No more questions to the world around and
listen listen softly
listen deeply inside and deeper
three steps back
hands off
don’t make the same mistake twice.

Touch heart beating speaking
   Truth and tell me
through and through and through
tell all
just beginning…middle...ending…over again
             and please forget me not...

Thanks friend...hearts open

One True Thing

What is the lie holding you hostage
in a cage bound tied tight
blind to the present
that thing staring you right in the face
through the eyes
and into the soul
can you see it
allow yourself to feel it
savor on the tip of the tongue
       dissolving long enough
       slow enough
or do you turn your back and walk the other way
run
out the door
gone and away…
                  up up up and away

A series of moments gathering and gathered to this very one
         What is that one true thing....

Into the woods and wanders down country dirt roads
the wild forest calls thy name
returning over into love...
moon lit skys
paving a path ahead
right to the edge
tipped upside down
tell me all you see
...this world is,
forever Truth
           will set you free...

If Love Could Speak...

Dear You, Me, Him, Her, Us, We, Them, Everyone
        Dear God...

       Its kind of a funny story
If Love could speak she would say
             Open wide and swallow it hole
If Love could speak she would say
            Listen softly with the ears of the HEART
If Love could speak she would say
              Hold close close close and
                             Release...
Wind blowing through leaves
tip toe across wet grass 
far far yonder
this is the way
that way
everything is The Way...
      Compass points FREEDOM
Free to be you and me…
 All of it...I am all of it and nothing
           None
Sacred prayers to the divine
grant me a sign
whisper sweet secrets into this body
a hint
a nudge
to the left...over to the right
above below and side to side
hide n seek
were am I
      and do you even dare to find me...

pretend no more
 One day
reality becomes better than dreams…
 One day
     Love speaks loud and loud and even
                     Louder....

Be Wildy Devoted...

Radiance Sutras #98
Lorin Roche

Be wildly devoted to someone, or something
Cherish every perception.
At the same time, forget about control.
Allow the beloved to be itself and to change.

Passion and compassion, holding and letting go,
This ache in your heart is holy.
Accept it as the rise of intimacy
With life’s secret ways.

Devotion is the Devine streaming through you,
From that place in you before time.
Love’s energy flows through your body,
Toward a body, and into eternity again.
Surrender to this current of devotion
And become one with the Body of Love.

Draw Close and Release...

The Universe
pulsing
can you hear the
    Heart
       beat beat beat…
forever and always
draw close 
expand out and beyond
Dance into me, dance through me, and away...

I watch, watch, and watch some more
gaze frozen in time
      I see
story colliding with truth
      Its all real because I believe

This book has many pages
        Indulge thy self
subject matter is YOU
       as You are
and as You can become
                infinite possibility...

A pathless path
where secrets are only heard through the whispers of the trees
Look around
     What is the world you have created...
yes please...more
and more and even more.

No longer shall i hide
yearning this embrace
many years and lifetimes ago
       Merge with me
come dance-come sing-come play
into the depths
creating one harmonious melody
Take me further...further  
         and release
flowing into unguarded realms
like rain washing through
     unknown pastures.

Know it perfectly
              In every way
    On every level
                What is the experience of
                          Letting Go...

Truth Be Felt

Truth be felt...
since some time ago
This, me, you, us, we
simmering in the background
yearning the embrace
dreaming the un-dreamable...

Watching from afar,
across the room,
and down the hall
    You...standing next to her
a stare at the unspoken language
waiting
patiently on the sidelines
when is it my turn
    come out and play...

Truth be felt
I am here to capture and
will watch you wander far far away

starting over again and again and again
the deep end of the heart
dark
its murky
     yet I dive in
Dive
forever now
      moving through towards
phases of seasons…phases of life…phases of love
            come and go
            bloom and die
only to be birthed once more...

run and destroy
you miss the point
      oh wait…I forgot…
there is no finish line
Tomorrow may never come
and
      maybe it will never be my turn
as you dash off wild and free
I continue to gaze
                    Forever Infinite and Always...
