Fear

My void is infinite
This moat…
This fortress…
  These walls…
I could give you my all;
Fear!
What have you awakened?
Deep within my dungeon it stirs
You can have it
  Could you tame it?
I could fall deep, deep within you…
Don’t run…
  I need this
Your support
Your passion
Your love
I have so much to give
No bruises would you leave?
I welcome this vulnerability
Fear!
I have so much to learn
Are you willing to teach?
Fear!

Pain of Love

When love beckons to you
Follow her…
Though her ways are hard and steep.
And when her wings unfold
You yield to her,
Though her sword hidden in her pinions
  May wound you…
For even as Love crowns you
  So shall she crucify you…
Even as she is for your growth
  So shall she prune you…
All these things
Love shall do unto you
That you may know the secrets of your soul.
And in that knowledge 
Become a fragment of Life’s heart.
But if in your fear you would seek
  Only Love’s peace
  Only Love’s pleasure
Then it is better for you
To cover your nakedness
And pass out of Love’s presence –
Into the seasonless world
Where you shall laugh,
  But not all your laughter…
And weep,
  But not all your tears.

Come, dance with me
Winds will guide us
Spinning
  Flying
   Soaring!
Where shall we go today?
Smiling; so much inspiration!
Dew glistening
Bright laughter!
  Skipping
   Jumping
Pure white joy!!

Pink swirling masses
Rising
  Falling
Each new breath…
Can you feel it?
Will you allow it to engulf you?
What have you stirred within me?
Just to have you near
Your laughter singing in my head
Is just pleasure enough!

Memories

Seas of emeralds shine fire bright
Glistens velvety towards me
Wind chimes singing
Coursing through my head
Your laughter ever ringing.
Cotton soft you touch my soul
Air beckons to fill me
Breathing in the powder
Fresh like morning dew
Aromas of you stain my senses.
Breeze brushes
Tingles my skin
Feather like glances
From you fingertips
Screaming for more
Skin melting to your touch
Surrounding me
Reminding me
Everywhere I see you
Yet gone from my sight.
Rivers run wild
Streams chanting
Memories of you sear my heart.
