Love! Speak of Love!





LOVE! SPEAK OF LOVE!

but not all at once
tell me slowly

-in bits and pieces-

so i can watch
worlds forming
on your soft
pink tongue
and
perhaps catch
a glimpse
of heaven-

until then,
my wings are folded,
tucked and waiting.

Static Cling



STATIC CLING

keeps pulling words
and streams
of something felt but not seen
out of me

so like an iron filing
my whole being
is
tuned
to
the
great
mystery

of attraction

sparks fly
between the poles
of
you and
die
i
die

Surfing Samsara





SURFING SAMSARA

Cupid's building
a soul
surfboard
so

he crazyglued 
our hearts
together
last night.

we'll bleed 
if we resist
the attachment

and who knows?

there may be 
sharks 
in 
these 
deep 
waters
.

Us

It seems everywhere I turn, someone is in love.  Heart cracked open, pain and bliss in equal measure.

This being so, it feels time to do a run through "The Moondrops" poems, 1 per day until the cycle is done.  We'll skip the intro poems, which can be found in the book - and here are the song links.

US

only do i suffer
when i suffer
the thought of not enough

so wordless and still becomes i
for hello's and goodbye's

as two silences become one
or being one become two- full of enough 
of these precious winking slices of time

seeds there planted
so that when i sit alone
love
you flower in me

Hope

To those
who have yet to pass through

and so have still to pass through
the hurt of a million honey razors

it ends
it must

Skyflower Photons

The gossamer wings of a butterfly
are more substantial than this world
held together by light

luminous skyflower photons

that are as real as they seem
as real as they seem
as real as a dream
