Unspoken energies
Negative energies
Spread unspoken
Seeding doubt and anger

Lapsing into bliss
He gently picks her out
Fondly holding
Making her comfortable on his lap
With his arms around her
His fingers gently work up a rhythm
And he knows which strings to touch
Creating a world of magic with a guitar
While moving to the beat of his music,
I watched, lapsing into bliss!

Fickle companions
Words come and go
Fickle companions
Like time, that changes
Without warning
What remains constant
Is the deeper knowing
That what we feel
Is true
Unfettered by words or time
Nor counted in lives
That once born
Must, pass on
Our story shall continue
From the past
Into the future, even when
The present, meanders away

Unmarked bruises
We all have bruises and hurts
Some cut in deeper than the rest
Scarring us forever
A gash, a scar, a bleeding scrape
Evoke immediate sympathy
And while they hurt, in the now
They fade away, pretty often
But other scars leave no signs
On our bodies, and yet
Hurt and gnaw at our soul

The real stuff of life
Action not position
Motion not inertia
Grace not grasping
Truth not lies
Belief not doubt
Dreams not vacuum
Sharing not snatching
Service not shirking

I am a great passion!
I am a great passion!
I want to reap your soul to mine
Know that I am a great passion that will consume your mind
Your senses aflame with the fires I light
You will desire me so, do you see any point in flight
Throbbing, breathless till I relieve your sweet agony
I decide, to hold or grant the ecstasy
All this and more, your dreams will come true
Only if your soul longs for me too!

Little pink shoes
Those little pink shoes
Hurriedly forgotten
In the kitchen
As she ran off to play
Brought such a tender smile
To my heart
She’s grown so fast
From crawling to running
And everything pink!
Soon sandals and high heels
That’s what she’ll want
When the boys start asking her out
But for now little angel
When you’re back from play
I’ll be waiting for you
With a hug and some cake
Smiling, with stories
Of your innocent play

Holding on to hope
I try to hold on to hope, but unclenched
My hands are empty, bleary eyes
Gaze over a barren desert, my fingers reach out
To meet swirling emptiness and fall back, at a loss!
Where do I find that hope,
Which infused my being, not so long ago,
How do I guild this broken throne,
When its foundations have slipped away
How do I hold on to hope?
After love’s eternal river, has changed course
And now flows, away from me
Hope, yes hope is what I need!

Life feels cold today
Grey skies
Pigeons cooing their grumble
Crows reluctantly cawing their displeasure
Life feels cold today
People huddled, coiled in their grind
Unwilling to move, unless it’s a real bind
Hearts frozen, grim faces
Life feels cold today
Trees shiver in the biting wind

Love and freedom
In the space between breath, the quiet moments
Our love just is
Not captured, by what was prior or what comes next
Not weighed down, by expectations of the future
But like life
That gives each breath meaning
By simply being there everyday
So yes let our love be like freedom
Expanding in the open spaces of our being
Let us also be aware that love like freedom
Is ruefully missed when curtailed or lost
So the freedom to love,
and the freedom of true love
Is a gift most precious, and a promise most dear
