birth


love-
what pulls poems
-red wet wings beating-
live from hearts

Thoughtknots of Worry

thoughtknots of worry
stiff tight breath
tense jaw
hard staring eyes

we broadcast intentions
but thoughtknots of worry
tie up the cord of attention
and our desires
keep circling back 
to
thoughtknots of worry

thoughtknots of worry
probed
untangles
this from that
now from then
here from there

smooth brow
dropping how
being now

Love Speaks

i am love speaking

anything i say
i lose

for i am the process 
of becoming

clothed in the language of the
world

Love?


Love?
although
it often shines in the known
it's origin is unknown

the most noble of all quests
the questioning of love

ah!
ah!
ah!

infinite question!

which love am i?

that of the flame for the moth
or the moth for the flame?

that last-love unrequited-held fast by a window of pain-
is just desire unfulfilled
though we call it love
in our mistaken longing

like the flame whose very essence
transforms all it kisses

accepting liquid sun
shall i be

for love is me
and i burn
for thee
.

Red Awake

opening...like a tight rosebud
unfurling with gentle naturalness
slow abandon
without impatience
without hesitation
but red awake
savouring every second towards certain oblivion

contemplating the mystery
called you
laying down all weapons on the threshold of us

to enter naked into fiery embrace
and be transformed
from carbon flesh
to diamond light

refracted
on temple walls
.
