Love Immense

When love met a new born star

It swirled in circles

Captured by joy

That ruptured out and filled

The furthest reaches of space and time

My heart ventured out

Touched by the light

Opening up to the newness of day

Only to find

Every instant of time

Alive in discoveries of us

Your smiling eyes

Lifted my life

Into a world where hope

Never ends

Where love expressed

Manifesting itself

Is as pure as a

Child at play

Looking into you

I see light shining through

I am warmed

By your embrace

And this new born star

Reaching my heart

Swept me away

By it's love

Immense

The Ocean's love

My bare feet feel

The pulsing of the earth

The heartbeat of the world

Dark green foliage
Surrounding

This path of dirt

The bright sun beaming

Down on me
Through the leaves

As I explore

So wondrous

So free

The pathway opens up

Into a soft sanded beach

A magnificent ocean captures me

In light blue, turquoise,

Green

Like smiling eyes it

Speaks of joy

So complete, so full

In rhythmic ebb and flow,

I feel the waves

Come and go

The mystery of

Indigo surfacing

The depths, the width

The breadth - the wide expanse

So powerfully

All-encompassing

Rushing forth

I cannot help but

Dive into the deep

Both warm and cool

The sun shines through

So beautiful, so clean

I feel the water breathe

It's living fluid into me

Through my skin, my eyes, my hair

It's frequency reaches my core

Revitalizing

As it goes

Emerging onto the ground

My skin still tingling

The salt tastes good

And I am cleansed

The water now a part of me

I then bask

In the warm sand

Embraced by the yellow sun

The ocean laughing,

Singing, dancing

Has penetrated my very being

My essence now one

With it's love

Death of a Friend

To: Alex

Your eyes, your face, your smile I see

So perfect in my memory

Even your voice I hear

And it’s hard to believe

That in two seconds

You are no more

You were so young for

Life to fall short

You had plans, a hope, a future

And then all at once all this-

No longer

I can’t help but try and

Think about

The sort of place that

You are now

And how in spirit you never die

But live on forever

In moments of soberness

As quietly my heart reflects

The truth of your being

In the timelessness of memory

Your essence

So close to me

Will always be felt. 

Heartbeat

She danced inside the pulsing

Of his beating heart

Stopping in the spaces

Before a breath is taken

Before a word is spoken

Where stillness can be felt

There she watched as silence

Swayed around the instant

 Our eyes met

And every hope unexpressed

Caught up in the moment

Released itself

I can taste your heartbeat

I can see the sound

That brought feeling into being

That brought color to my dance

With every small vibration

Carried from my heart

A new path is born

From thought to realization

What I am in essence

Forever lives

Inside the instant

Where stillness took a step

Vibrations

the sound of your smile

stretches 'cross the

universe

it beams like the sun

bubbling kisses on

my cheek

in hushed tones

its pleasant light

whispers to my heart

and the image of

your grin

captivates my mind

til I can't contain the

smile spreading

up into my eyes

from the corners of my lips

and I'm lost in endless time

remembering

sorrow

  I don’t even know how to say

How my heart is breaking

My soul is dripping w oceans of tears

And I’m so cold

Wet from this rain

That penetrates past my skin

And sinks so deeply

In to my heart

I look so sadly at blood streaming down

Life bleeding out

Leaving me pale

And empty

It seeps through my fingers

And spills from my eyes

The terrible death

Of one who can’t die

But lives all alone

In the cold,

Broken rain

And cries
