I walk where I’ve never walked
See things I’ve never seen
Hear things I’ve never heard
And think things I’ve never thought
Just by putting my hand in yours.
I want so desperately to chase you
To ask you not to go
To kiss you one more time
And to bring your heart to places
It has never been before.
Imagine time more gentle
With the loving hearts of men.
Where waking and sleeping with you…there
Here, everywhere
That lonely side of parting never need return.
But I sit…here…
You are…there…
And you take a million dreams of mine with you
With that one kiss that said goodbye
Until we meet again.

I see you in my heart
I see you in my soul
I see you in the everything
In the glue that keeps me whole.
I see you in the morning
I see you in the night
I see you to the left of me
And I see you to the right.
Know this here and now
This simple truth of me
That when my heart is opened wide
It’s only you I see.
~
In a faithful bound
I surrender
To all that was and will be
I surrender
To the piece of peace I want to see
I surrender
And to the loving ties of your promise
I surrender.
The voice echoes but is real no more
For I have given it no power
You are there and I am here
Alone in my missing mate’s demand
To be and not to want
To seek and not to find
To want and to not find satisfaction
It is where my heart resides.
I find peace in knowing what you are
and question what I am not
Amidst the vanquished harlots that call my name
I stand tall knowing that nothing is the same
And cry tears of joy in in this resounding victory
A wait for your return.
The dream has just but started
The mind has all but surrendered
To the Heart, to the desire of Something I cannot see
To the Soul, to the guidance of Something I cannot hear
I open my arms and shout the words
“Take me to that place!”
In a trusting act of knowing
I surrender
To the words of my true Love
I surrender
To the Light that the Ajna follows hard
I surrender
To the silence left when doubt is gone
I surrender
To Love, I surrender.

Imagine the rawness of it all
The time we shared, the sweet smell
Of love cascading through our minds.
Remember the rapture
The beauty we had to stop
But could never end…never end.
Feel the lightness of my touch
The instant the bumps rise
and the echoes of your moans
Fill the space around us
I am silent for I am there
Where you want me to be.
Mouth full, heart rearing down
You scream in holy ecstasy
A prayer that sings a holy praise.
You…me…we…
Forever entangled in this moment
The beads of our sweat mix
Becoming one full salty sea
As our sanded shorelines melt
And merge into one splendid Eden.
Whisper in my ear my Love
Ah, that voice that curls my toes
And makes my hands grab all sorts of things
Scratch me, mark me, make me yours
In the way that says we were here
Worshiping in this place we call home
A place that isn’t truly a place at all
But a description of all we live to be.
And all we ever where.
Finally the release I surely wanted to delay
The moment this Universe was created
The moment all time and space began
We walked together through the sand
Paused to watch the Sunrise
And called this place our Home.
I never want to leave this place
Can’t we stay here just another lifetime more?
We will surely meet again my Lover
When I call out your name and remember
This, our moment of Divinity
Against that, our moment of humanity.
Together we have journeyed beyond Earth’s surly bounds
And walked into a Lightness of Being no mind could dare create.
We are Love, We are Lovers still.
In my Garden of Gethsemane
I walked along with her
She could not know my suffering
A worm stuck in my own cocoon.
The wounds I bore
She touched them
And they opened
I screamed silently until I could be silent no more.
She did not mean it
She could not see they were there
And I hid the bleeding
Until our river ran crimson with untold memories.
By touching them
She healed them
The flesh, it tore
But allowed the Light to enter.
There are some Souls
Who bless our lives with presence
Who heal us even amid the suffering
Such is Love.
I wonder what wounds I touched in her
And I weep at the thought of the injury
Even as I pray that I healed her too
A reflection of the Light she is to me.
I can see her now, clearly
The clouds of torment gone
The attention to wounds forgotten
Love eternal reigns the day.
In the ending a new beginning
In the loss a prize eternal
I bask in the tears I shed for her
Such medicine the salty rivers give!
I feel her now not through a pain soaked curtain
But through a warm vessel of Light
The Sun, the Moon, the Stars
The Glory of a Dancing Tigress.
I felt the Universe unfold in beautiful awe
As she fell into my arms weeping
Telling me a million stories
Without ever saying a word.
And I heal…
That moment I came down off my cross
And turned it into just another tree
I fell in love with me.
Right there, in my Garden of Gethsemane
Where the Beloved showed me who I am
Right where the wounds became no more
Right were she touched where no one has touched me before.
I wrapped my arms around her
Our sweated Beings merged
I loved in that moment like I’ve never loved before
I swallowed all of her she’d allow me to have.
I ceased to be in that moment still
The final thread of my veil fell away
Or so it seems that weighted cloak is gone
Lifted by a selfless act of Love.
I do not pretend to know tomorrow
There are many crosses with many weights to bear
Yet in this instant I fear no more
I am free in this, my Garden of Gethsemane.
I see the story in her eyes
The sunset when they close
The sunrise when they open
The rain as the tears spill from the sky
And I know I am lost within them.
I feel eternity in her touch
The gift of time and space in her grasp
The remarkable sense of Being in her caress
The quakes as reason runs to hide away
As her lips fill the void the mind has left behind.
To be so joyfully lost in this moment
Is to know the Eternal Paradise
Where everything and nothing merge to a Heart’s sheer delight
And you know that you are home
As you are lost in the panicked state of ecstasy.
You are lost in her…
Just walk with me for awhile. Hold my hand, as we calmly stroll down the mountainside. Pause with me as I pick you a daisy for your hair, and look at me with the intention of your Soul as I gently brush the hair from your eyes. Lean up to kiss me as only you can. Allow me to cradle your head in my hand as I breathe the Love from my Soul into yours while inhaling all that you are into mine. Share this perfect moment with me my Love, and let me share with you the Sunrise in my heart as I accept the Universe within you.
She came to me in a vision But I was not dreaming I was no longer a man nor she a woman But two Souls united by something far greater than either alone.
You offer an embrace that stops time in its tracks. My Love, you are here in my arms and I in yours. My heart wants to scream as it touches yours but words are obsolete in this moment. I want to stare into your eyes but look away for fear of betraying this vulnerability. I am where I belong, and I know it all too well. Is this weakness? Is this insanity? Whatever it is there is no currency in existence worth losing a single moment. I just want to be here, now, forever.
Time stands still in this moment's awe As this Love pours from my mind, my body Time cannot exist in the presence of this Love I've abandoned all sense of knowing any thing at all.
I hear your voice and my mind goes blank. I close my eyes and listen to the sweetness of your sound. I heart jumps, my skin tingles, my breath quickens. My reactions betray a simple truth…I am in love with this woman, this Soul. I was born to be here this moment, and I enjoy it all without reflection. I am a Mountain again, and I know my place among the valleys and rivers my mind gives life to. I feel the Light in my eyes and see the Sun in my head. I will not leave this place again.
Through the ups and downs Lefts and rights, laughs and tears I remain faithful to the cause that Love demands In It I find who I am destined to be.
I touch you and feel your skin. It’s as if Indra himself had touched me with a lightning bolt so intense the layers of who I was were burned away revealing who I am. Gone are the voices, the fears, the anxiety replaced by the serenity of knowing. Flowing through my mind are the words of the sacred Vedic hymn:
Indra, you lifted up the outcast who was oppressed, you glorified the blind and the lame.
Yes, my oppressed Soul has been lifted. The blindness that drove me to such suffering has been cured. In this moment, I have been saved from the affliction of the mind that handicapped me into painful distortion. The dragon within me has been slain, and I am free. The Love flows freely out and I can feel you again. I can feel your Soul speaking to me. It guides me to where you want me to be. It shows me where the bandages are. It gives me the courage to follow the directive I so want to own.
A river flows through my Being And cascades down this fallen prayer You are there to drink it up And to quench the thirsts of mindfulness.
Smell…see…hear…feel…taste
It all in a million glorious moments
The rush is nearly too much to bear
As I sink into Her soul.
To feel…it…again
My eyes well up in tearful praise
Of what my Heart has always known
I am here…and I am Hers
For eternity.
There are no voices save one
It shouts Love’s unending hymn
And brings me to the moment of pure ecstasy
To which I never shall return.
It is true, in Her eyes blue I have seen It
In Her lips full I have tasted It
In Her delight I have heard It
And I am here…and I am Hers
For eternity.
I try to reason it all
But it makes too much sense
So I throw away that part of me
That tries to describe the indescribable.
I know all I need to know
As She let’s it go and falls on top of me
As She bears her soul and falls into all of me
In tears I cannot let this moment go.
In my heart I have heard it
In my soul I have felt it
And in my entirety I know this truth
I am here…and I am Hers
For eternity.
I feel perhaps a fool
A fool of my own mind
My own dreams…my own emotions
Dancing circles in a square box.
I sit in the corner of this ring
No one with me as I stare across the box
There is my adversary, staring back at me
Laughing, “I own you.”
I feel a chill run down my spine
I cannot win this fight
I stand to answer the bell…alone
I know what is coming.
I portray an air of confidence
The path I have traveled has not prepared me
I’m not ready, my mind is in shambles
Even as the body is willing to give and take.
“I’ve been playing you”
I feel those words shoot across the cage
“And now you will die”
Or so the voice reminds me.
I look out at the mindless crowd
No friendly faces look back at me.
I’ve given them up for the fight I cannot win
And they in turn have done the same to me.
So I look, ready for my destiny.
Ready for the pain that is to come
Ready for the scars about to be created
Yet going to answer the bell regardless.
The bell, it rings.
The body, it presses on
The mind, it becomes numb
The heart cries out for what it must endure.
the end.
I remember
Walking alone in the park
By your house
Never have I felt so free
Or so stood so strong.
Down in the valley of fear
She said there’s nothing left to come upon
But echoes left
From stories told
In a field left alone not so long ago.
But in the morning’s waking
I reached out to empty air that screamed
A distant song
that came along in a moment
Not so proud.
It’s screaming…screaming
Walking this path it seems
the glimpses I see of her
Can’t fade away
There’s nothing I can do
To change the course this river flows
So I just lay here
an empty arm where she would be
I wonder why
I’m left to wonder why at all
I cry aloud
I’m dreaming…dreaming
