My Morning On The Dundee (December 28, 2008) Not a leaf to be held where apples hung. Asleep now tree with work all done. Today quiet with winter sun And shadows on snow becoming ONE.... Elongated clouds soon appear Between blue sky that seems so near A globe of light through eyes that leer A spectrum of colors that are so clear. I bathe in its warmth and feelings within That touch my senses raising my skin And I thank the lord for allowing me in To that place too long where I've been. And I blush and I moan with oos and ahs At the wonder of things the way they are Like a treasure that comes without shovel that's star On a day most needed that seemed so far. Then clouds their death pass away For no one's importance stops death of day Though death it shows their importance to weigh Like a poem not expected that came to stay... And Now And now away from noise of wit, There's splendor to the white stuff I surrender. Where limbs layden humbly bend While I descend, Letting thoughts drift Where only silence; knows... Sahara You are Sahara, you are the oasis. You touch the senses that call like a curious child. You are the conjunction, where past, present, and future meet. It is your hair that is sacred, it brushes lips Springing to life their natural gift. Hair; hair that is the missing link. Hair that covers what time has forgot Til now in you. You whose mystery Crossed my path and will remain as will The hair from you and name; Sahara.... When The Blue Touches Green And The Brown When the blue touches green and the brown And it weaves inside all around When it brings to light what wasn't found Like a prism reflects naked sound. You know you just know that you know 'Cause it dances with light in you And a passion your desire knows too And you know you just know that you do. And the beauty you see it it spreads Like a fairies silk dress, its threads Over body a landscape of love Above as below made of. And desire stands without end And suddenly your thoughts descend Feeling the live that survived The one in a dream that arrived. And the universe closes its eyes And sleeps with her under its stars And you know that you know; That you are! A Dry Fire There's a dry fire Among the leaves Wetting this appetite And eyes. While mystery perceives, As do clouds Where mountains peak. Highlighting natures dance With death. Like a ray of sunshine does A path where shadows stand; Amongst them all...As I. It's Poetry I'm in the middle of the dying leaves It's the middle where the mind conceives It's poetry You can see The symmetry. It's a walk in the early hours When the soul needs just devour It's poetry You can see The symmetry. It's the call of the bird and more Squirrels shaking tails that lure It's poetry You can see The symmetry. It's the acorns I hear that fall In my heart I hear the call It's poetry You can see The symmetry. It's the shoes that I walk in Feeling the leather on skin It's poetry You can see The symmetry. It's the road that I am on Without noise to muffle song It's poetry You can see The symmetry. I'm in the middle of the dying leaves It's the middle where the mind conceives It's poetry So you can see; The symmetry..... Apollo's Eye Clouds still, hang in air. Eyes filled, look and stare. Mountains wait for those who care, Fall colors, everywhere! Quiet on this mountain's perch. This splendor does the soul search, The maples, ash, and white birch Together all in nature's church. The blue of sky Apollo's eye. Watches us with reasons why Birds that chirp that soon fly, And leaves that will, soon die. Hair on granite rocks bring Life that lifts voice to sing A gift that is their offering, And will again once more in spring. EGO I am ego, and I want you to know Don't try to get rid of me 'Cause I ain't gonna go! I am emotions, I am each thought. I am ambition, I'm in everything you've got. I am ego, I am the clothes you wear I am self-righteous,and really I don't care. I am ego, and I am always right I am the bottom line, I'm your personal insight. I'm the one who talks to you I am in your head. I am all the chemicals It's me to whom your wed. Just listen as I speak right now You that I divide, I am the one who looks through you There's no place you can hide. Sometimes I am sad, or full of despair Sometimes I am mad, with rage I declare. See, here I am in you, dictating words that flow Don't try to get rid of me, I know you well....you know. I am all the stuff you have, all you hang on to. I am critiquing this, 'cause I am really you! Just look in the mirror, who is it that you see? Take one more look my friend, 'cause you is really.... me! I am; EGO! Hear Me Hear Me August 14, 2008 Blue is you, green is me What can I do to make you see That love can do What nothing else can. Hear me, hear me The day is coming Like leaves that fall And all is gone. What happened now to then Is it just imagination That took one moment And plays it back as if it's real. Lips are meant for touching others Keeping love inside alive Feeling what each moment offers Nothing more needs to survive. Is there something else Before the shade of grey Masks the face We wear. Hear me, hear me The day is coming Like leaves that fall And all is gone. Olympics, 2008 And the bluebird lifts its wing As a mother cries as her baby Sucks a teat that's dry. And a leaf falls from a tree As the watcher feels its poetry And a woman straps on dynamite And the world cries and they all die. And the bluebird flys away With a gold necklace it will swing As the world watches listening to The blue bird sing raising tears While another cries herself; to sleap.... The Smile You Left Behind By D. C. Bianchino for my friend Fabrizio and son Mattieo You smiled for me for several hours As I held you in my arms. And without a fear you left us here Because you were homeward bound. The stars you somehow knew so well Were calling you to them. Like in these words my memory fires As I remember when. Two years too soon my baby son You graced my life with each. But not a day that does go by It's you for whom I reach. For fate brought us together As destiny apart And there hasn't been a day since then That you haven't touched my heart. With that smile that you have left behind My fearless son above. For it has grown these last five years In me with you; I love. You Help Me Go On You help me go on You that stranger You I haven't met You at a distance You I can't forget. You help me go on With being me One among many Each face I see. Here there, earthen ware Knowing well this we share You help me go on With what I do I see it clear in me through you. You help me go on Even when I scream Feeling the weight Of this human being. And then there you are Making it too Just like me Passing on through And you help me go on With being true. Your face, your voice Your gifts, your choice That indelible spark That lights the dark To leave its mark. You help me go on When life seems wrong To feel again like you I belong Knowing we're together Writing this song You help me go on. Like the snake I watched That shed its skin And left for me to remember when In order to grow what is within One must leave behind The old that's been. Like the Beetles I heard That sang their songs Just like them You help me go on You help me go on You help me go on Just like them You help me go on..... THE SMITH'S (In the heart of the song The GOLD glitters.) The Smith's Gold glitters by hand of the Smith's Rough made smooth as a monolith This is the truth of the alchemist One like the other, like fog is to mist. As a bracelet weaved of the finest stones Speaks inside of the weavers when shown Like bone to marrow and marrow to bone Eternally present, eternally known. And when fires make the metals weep The soul inside will never sleep For that is when it's made complete Like diamond is, to which it seats. So with power, and tools, and eyes that cast Forged by the master with fineries fast Will hold the future as does the past Shaped, designed, and sized to last. For the master Smith the earth it wakes And from the deep its secrets take Passing them on to one's namesake That passes it on in what they make; The Smiths... ALL ABOUT YOU I just want to sing a love song A song that says that I love you I just want to sing a love song Just because I know I really do. Right now I am in a field of wild flowers With mountains, trees, and sky in view Butterflies with birds that do their calling And so it is that I am calling too. I whiff the scent of perfumes,of the Goddess Her purity it fills my body deep I take from her this gift my soul it nourishes A memory lest forgotten I shall keep. Crickets and chirps and buzzings The sound of a river like wind through leaves All this,like a silent auction, No place,in this heart to grieve. I just want to sing a love song And join this choir near I just want to sing a love song A love song for you to hear. The tiniest of strawberries add their taste A dessert no substitute could replace And the clover I pick and the tickling ticks Everything's perfect there's nothing to fix. 'Cause this is a love song I want to share A song that says that I love you I just want to sing a love song Just because I really do. Now, clouds of thunder and flashes of light Add to the real the beauty and sight Now rain that pelts my home my van Feeling the power of nature's hand. (Like the quick of the moment that leaves its brand To understand.) Tomorrow more berries will ripen Like those that came today And so will clouds above them As will those who follow the WAY. And the WAY is the wonder of nature Like these words that try to say And the music is really the love song And you are the instrument to play. I just want to sing a love song A love song I know that's true I just want to sing a love song Because this love song is all about YOU! AN AFTERNOON WITH ASHLEY The sand was soft As the spot in my heart That was left there. The river flowed Meandering its way As we did. And the sky was clear As the smile on your face That love hid, As we sang and danced With heavy breath That laughter rid. Then Woody Allen Stumbled with words That his desire threw. But he understood The reasons behind What you knew. Like a seed one plants With a gentle kiss The one that grew, And so we left it there Just like that 'Cause it was true. And the leaves they peaked On that day Just for us. As the apple did With its fresh red skin We both would touch. And like the sheep we watched We too were led 'Cause we let go. And because of it We saw the web In trees that sew. And the ring that felt To you so real A weaved one like The web would seal The love we shared That made us feel That afternoon Its freedom heal. Now later ( That evening) Just to let you know I watched the moon of balance (The one half black and half white.) Appear out of a well defined cloud. (Those kind you can see Without obtrusive lights) only to stand In front of that cold vast space Reaching into the stillness of the unknown. And I thought about our conversation Concerning the ending of Good and Evil That some still want to hang on to. But, there it was, confirming that illusion, Illuminating one and all with the real truth. Stay FREE my love, Stay Free! Sara's Home On The Dundee I found my favorite smell In the Lilly Of The Valley. Her white bells, her green stem Shouldered leaves; she within. I caught her scent Through May's back door. A spring walk through air She poured. From patch of her earthen floor And so I bent, for want of more. I reached for her As one who's meant To feel the truth she represents To share with her, her innocence Inhaling her, as I went. And yes I felt divine come through And all the wrongs right then they flew Seeing what love can do Just like these thoughts bare witness too. Some say a witch of which she's not Some see her walking on this spot (I have not) But felt myself being drawn to learn This place, this spot, on the Dundee's turn. In quiet I feel my heart its beat. Birds that chirp, I hear them speak. No poles with current, run the road. No pavement either, just ground that holds Memories that are long since cold. A house abandoned in the wood Left decaying where it stood Windows shuttered grey its pine A house that was, lost in time. Now the lilies in field and stone A testament to one still home Welcoming those who just might pass From fragrant scent, within the grass. Where Hope Survives Let me paint you with words Too embarrassed to drip. Let me capture in pigments Through thoughts as they slip; From my mind. Let your beauty fall On my canvas as such So hearts of another Will long just to touch; You! Let this canvas hang In air in the Louvre Let your skin your beauty In others be moved; As I. Let me capture you And your sacred scent Like the rose will the heart For who it is meant; Like now.... Let others spend A lifetime with you Knowing your beauty Will always be true; And alive. For fresh is the word That travels through time As paint before It has time to dry; Will. So, I'll be with you As with words that stare Up from paper A canvas with flair; With flow. Like a seed that was born Never to die Becomes so it can Forever just lie, where hope survives; As LOVE.... Now I See I am my soulmate! The pair of wolves waiting on the top of the mountain. This mountain where I shall build my home, I stand alone, completed, as ONE! The light, the dark. The male, the female. The unconscious, the conscious. Both awake! Like smoke that never separates. Like breath inhaled, exhaled. Like day, like night. Like sand and stone. Like tree and earth. A completion of itself for itself. Two halves whole, enjoined, completing the circle. By Grace, through Grace, for Grace. Laughing at the pleasure, while respecting it, My true self.... Love Is....4-10-2008 Love is a ride on a Ferris wheel A roller coaster that makes us squeal. It takes each turn that you can feel And adds a rush that says it's real. It's high it's low it's all around It's in it's out it's up it's down. It is what has that is no doubt It is alive and all about. 'Cause love is thick as air that's thin Carries you up; and in. Wrapped inside its textured skin For that in truth is where its been. It's like a flower inside that holds Natures honey that is its gold. Waiting just to let it go And what it means to let it flow. With LOVE LOVE LOVE! Much like the skin on a maple tree Inside sweet water when tapped will be. There for the taste and eyes to see Love in its making sets the soul free! With LOVE LOVE LOVE! So this is what it means to love Inside the body of one that does. For love is the pulse and each breath we take And life is the gift whenever we make, LOVE LOVE LOVE!......Because, Love Is.... Whenever She's Around.....April 2nd 2008 And she walks like a star That's been shinning forever. Her light hits the dark Where light, has not never. And she brings it to life And she does it whenever; She's around. She is so magnificent Angels feel they must repent. Before that eternal fire THAT FLAME that's forever higher. Whenever she's around. Her radiance always pours Safron scents and music scores Leaving me wanting more Waiting for the next encore. And her light Is a magic thing. Burning love that it brings Lighter than a feathered wing Making sweet its offering. Whenever she's around Whenever she's around Whenever she's around The dark can't make a sound Losing all, all its ground And ties are all unbound And love is always found Whenever she's around Whenever you're around.... Painted Lips...4-25-08 Painted lips aflame! And eye with light, the soul it tames. Where time is lost and still remains With thoughts in mind from whence it came. Beauty of one just leaps! And touches love that never sleeps. Through ages as in death it keeps Like breath of air its memory's deep. I see the spirit I have known Its image held since child. Like a babe in the belly of the sun That takes to the tree in the wood of the forest. Like whispers from voice Touches places like dew Calling one as one that's true Knowing well that voice not new. And the butterfly lifts its wings. And the bird breaks its shell. And the frog waits in front of the door. And the horse runs free the field. And the star explodes within with song, That ferries rain and wind. As the elephant lifts its trunk. And the lion purrs. As stalks with sunflowers reach up from the Ganges Touching clouds passing by While painted lips kiss the nighttime sky. Mud And Myth...March 30, 2008 A hand, a smile. An eye, a tear. A taste, a smell. A voice, an ear. Flesh that ages So with lines. Marks left Alone in time. Filled with talent Body's swing. Thumbprints different As they sing. (Even though it won't be long Before the honey is all gone.) Fingers stretch Notes that speak. Channeling life And death that meet. Trying to reach A place without, Between what's not But is about. Why and what Is and isn't. This and that Did and didn't. It's a journey Made to do. Where it lies Just for you. As it's essence Carries with Thoughts in myriads Mud and myths.... Lady Bug....Feb 23, 2008 Lady bug lady bug Land on thee Lady bug lady bug Set me free Lady bug lady bug Let it be Lady bug lady bug You and me. Lady bug lady bug I am blue Lady bug lady bug It is true Lady bug lady bug If you do Lady bug lady bug I'll love you. Lady bug lady bug Yellow wing Lady bug lady bug You I sing Lady bug lady bug I will bring Lady bug lady bug You a ring. Lady bug lady bug Here today Lady bug lady bug Came my way Lady bug lady bug If you stay Lady bug lady bug We will play. Songs Chamber Door Your beauty impales As one that catches their breath. It reaches out, reaches in to the chamber Where all love songs are born To be given their light. Your gift is a note That floats above the clouds Raining on them a diamond dust Carried by distant stars, And captured by hearts and eyes When in your presence. You that brings the blossom to fruit And sweet to taste. You that opens that chamber door And song escapes sweetening the air For all that breathes from you that wakes. You who's beauty is more than thoughts That find their place. But is the desire that co-creates For love that waits on you And, your beautiful; face..... On The Belly Of Clouds....dec 2nd, 2007 She gave me her bed to lie And I slept with her As one would sleep With air. Like words that float On the belly of clouds Together with mystery Wrapped in its shroud. That endless form Of changing shapes Weaving itself Through open space. Casting its shadows And light through eyes Conscious of being All things alive, From whence it pours Watering its seeds. Another Christmas Without You...Dec 4 2007 It's another Christmas without you Another Christmas I must do Another christmas without the cheer It's another Christmas to feel a tear. And, it's really really a sad thing When Santa forgets my love to bring As I wait again to feel alone And wish that I could feel at home. And yet, I've watched this night shoot a star And a river shimmer from a light afar, And I felt the air its starkness catch Breathing in its awesomeness. And I heard the jingle bells that ring And the quiet sound a sleigh will bring To ears that hear sweet whisperings On a Christmas Eve their offerings. So, I'll hold you in my thoughts And watch the tears flow again Wishing that somehow you knew It's another Christmas I must do Another Christmas; without having you As still I wait, for my love that's; true... Chocolate Eyes.....Nov 29 2007 Chocolate eyes sweeten the senses In the one that sees their spark. Eyes of light filling this cave Fingering walls waiting in dark. Like desire that takes A snake like form Shedding its skin To be reborn, Chocolate eyes leave their pleasure Sweetening the life To whom They look on.... My Poetry And You.....11-20-2007 I don't need no tailor To show the world it's true I don't need no tailor To make it all look new. I just need to let it show What tailors cannot do I just need to let it be And all I need is you. You that sees beneath the style That shows what lies within You the tailor cannot know That is beneath its skin. Yes you that sees outside the sphere That has the eye that has the ear That does not cloak what tailors fear To think outside what lies in here. I don't need no tailor I don't need no threads to fan I don't need no color schemes That say what only feelings can. I just need the flowers scent That floats with clouds without their wings I just need the rainbows edge That saturates the sky it brings. I don't need no tailor I don't need what makes askew I don't need no tailor Just these close with tear, and; you. Me And You I don't need another muse. Not since the time I spent with you. No one else could take your place, No one else has such a face. And what I have is the poetry To bring me back for me to see...you! You my friend so few have been Until the turn to both transend. When feelings took on wings that flew Flying away with what they knew, And what is true. (Love exists, Move mountains) So here we are both moving on With wind to carry wings with song. And whether low, or whether high True passion is the whole damn sky! (Feeling feelings, each one alive!) And so I feel what is real..You! See, your heart is like a Golden Chalice Filled with love, compassion....a...palace. I know because, once again I read our poetry and remember when There never was; a truer friend.... And for that...I love; YOU! That's What I Do I play to the mountain I play to the sea I play to the clouds Standing over me. I play to the church Where steeple stands I play to the emptiness That time expands. I play to the rocks I play to the wind I play to the fields The song within. I play to the hearts I play to the souls I play to the young Who will never grow old. I play to the hawk I play to the night I play to the stars That give their light. I play to the snows I play to the rains I play to the past That holds its name. I play it now It cannot die I play its memory And watch it fly. I play to the feeling Inside that's true I play the God That plays for you. That's what I do That's what I do I play the God That plays for you That's what I do. AS ONE....Nov...3rd 2007 AS ONE I smell you from the deepest part of being, And I taste you when the morning light it brings. Yes you that I have swallowed as a lover does with earth Carrying with it memories from pores it gives in birth. Yes you, closer than skin I wear with pungent smell That graces air, like a flower given to it scent Will stay for its own sweet intent. And that because a love as none So two together become ONE As do I, with your fragrance lies... Fools On An Adventure..... Fools on an adventure Laughing when the pleasure hits. Feeling like a child That somehow got away with it! But then thoughts get in the way That come along that try to sway Trying to make divide This pleasure that one cannot hide Enjoying the ride, ride ride. Now night is when the dance begins That dances with what is within That one that meets its perfect form That makes the soul each time reborn. Enjoying what adventures do That please child in me and you When laughter comes along Defying what some think as wrong. But memory never seems to care Even though it wasn't there To take pleasure who knows where (I think it's jealous this I swear.) Just wants to take it for itself And who knows, whatever else And do whatever does with it With memory that upon it sits. But we're just fools on an adventure Seeing what's inside the shell And so we don't need no censor Just what laughter has to tell Just what laughter has to tell Because it knows us really; well! What Are You Going To Leave Behind?....Sept, 28,2007 What are you going to leave behind, I say What are you going to leave behind today What are you going to leave behind that's real What are you going to leave behind to feel- today. Who do you see in that morning mirror Is it a stranger who looks back at you Who do you see that holds that terror Is it the one that knows that it's true. What will you do that others will find What will you do to be given that's free What will you do in order to shine What on this day will set yourself free. Will it be sun that heats the stone That warms the body upon that sits Bringing to light the gift it holds Just to know the meaning of it. What are you going to leave behind today To know you lived and will survive What are you going to leave behind I say That says it's you that was alive. What will you leave behind? The Meltdown....Sept, 21, 2007 I have a melt down Whenever you're around. I have a meltdown And my heart just hits the ground. I have a meltdown And I cannot make a sound. I have a meltdown And I'm nowhere to be found. You do this thing that I can't see, And it happens every time to me. Almost like I'm going to fly And leave my body behind to die. I feel like I will come apart From this feeling every time it starts. Just happens like a fire that's hot And melt's whatever is around that spot. I smile, I laugh, and I feel this joy, And my body it feels like a gumby toy. And I know it's something that I don't control, So real, so free seems from my soul. It is that feeling that's euphorical, And so to pass on this oracle. Because, I don't love you (Not in that way) But this feeling IS LOVE, and that's all I can say. I Love You.... Is This The Woman That I love? Sept 28,2007 Is this the woman that I love That puts a light on in my heart The woman where there is no other The one for which each day it starts Tis it you that adds the color In the rainbows that I see Tis it you that is the lover Yes the one that sets me free Is it you that melts the ice On the coldest winter night Is it you who's voice I've known That sings this song with golden light Tell me fair if it is You that dream the one that's true For if it is then all is right But only if my love; it's YOU! That Beautiful Face With Song....Sept...07 Air held its breath when she walked by. And the moon it fell right out of the sky. And the earth it shook and started to cry, Because of her beauty, so rare to the eye. See, I was lucky, I got up close. We were singing songs, just having fun. And, when her eyes closed? The world became bigger, Now able to look at the beauty she held. And she, with a smile that said: "It's okay, You can look, and, take your time, I'm in no hurry. Because, that's what I'm here for." And so I did. And I never saw such a beautiful face, every inch of it. And what I felt was; well, I just wanted to hold her. It seemed so natural that we both would do that! But, that's not the way it was; not for her. So all I could do was smile at the thought, And also wondered why, it seemed so right. But, that's when I knew about air, and the moon, And the earth that would shake, with a tear to cry. Why? Because; so did I. I Fell In Love In Spain I fell in love in Spain And my heart's just not the same--without you. I've never felt like this before When my heart knew it for sure--it was you. You woke in me this feeling I didn't know I had And now I'm feeling love and it's making me feel sad--away from you. My thoughts are now from yesterday here with me in today Every moment memories play remembering why I feel this way---about you! You opened me up so wide, even what I tried to hide But now you are deep inside in a place no one had ever tried And it's really kind of scary this place I've never been "Cause I don't know how to do this, I don't know how to swim With this love that's now within, without you And this love I cannot reason why, I just do. I remember everything you said, the looks, the smiles, Your eyes, your lips, and this feeling some call Bliss. And so I am in yesterday re-living moments though far away Yet as close as every breath I take with a love that I just cannot shake Because I fell in love in Spain and my heart hasn't felt the same Without you. It was the beach, it was the sand, the dance we didn't plan It was the confidence that was raw it was you that I saw I felt your heart the heart that's true it was my heart that felt it too It was simple it was real it was you that I could feel. And like the breeze that held your name I felt it all as I felt Spain---in; you! Flawless August 23, 2007 The Goddess With The Golden Dreads The river held its breath when Flawless took her clothes off To dive into its spring fed water. Her Golden Dreads, like A train of lures, and freed like the fauna being brushed by the river's flow, Awoke its residents who'd been sleeping below. The turtles and frogs bowed as she passed, and the river's snakes Layed on their backs just to look at her. The half moon shined Its light over her perfect form, and a silhouette showed off a Goddess More beautiful than had ever been seen before. Moon kept Desire in its reach as she swept through the river that received her, Welcoming her touch, that touch that made even the water thirst. In the wake that followed her, so did a florescence that lit Angelic looking fish to bloat with anticipation, and an ecstasy they Had never known. When she came to stand, the water that she graced, and that felt her every inch, Tried to hang on only to slip off with tiny silver droplets that hissed From the burn of her flawless body. (Much like a lover torn from its love When in the heat of their passion, only to be returned to some dark place It came from.) Now the moon blushed seeing such perfection, while nervously watching This true bed of Desire. It was then that she reflected her own Internal flame setting the moon's other side on fire. When Flawless left the river, its residents were unable to sleep, So filled with her image, an image too the river has since not forgot. Because, whenever the moon is in its half time, she swims as before (Again from that memory) and its residents once more are fed With Flawless, the Goddess with the Golden Dreads. Your Keeper Like night that wears on And thoughts they are flung I'll watch for you I'll be the one. Though quiet I'll be I'm your eyes to see I'll watch for you So you can be free! I won't let you stumble Or cross that divide I'll keep you safe So you won't have to hide. I'll watch what you say When night wants its way And the veil that protects you Has fallen like day. For jealous I am When it comes down to you And those spirits those dark They know this is true. And when that monster On you wants to leap It will see me there And your treasure will keep. And when it is time I'll say we must go With look in the eyes That one that you know. For I am the Owl On your shoulder that sits The keeper for you The eyes that stay lit. For precious you are Through this journey called time And I'm here to protect you Just as if you were mine. For your beauty is one That's without as within And I am your keeper With feather for Wind.... Light Wing Bird....July 15, 2007 Fluttering wings exercise Getting them ready so they can fly Waiting for mother food to bring Depending on her to do her thing. But she won't be back it is time For them to leave and meet the sky Her job is done as her tie No matter the plea that's in their cry. She built the nest Laid the eggs Sat on them (And the rest) Kept them warm Till they hatched Fed them till Wings would match Body's that Were attached. She fed them well through open beak And taught them how they should speak And what to do and what to seek And when their turn to repeat. But now it was her own time To face a season she'd call mine To gain her strength and to unwind And just to see what she could find. Like perfect tree I see that mates With purple plumes that decorate That calls the bee to penetrate Until that time to generate. And so she takes her time to rest Between the season to undress Until again nature tests And makes the call with life to bless. Now mystery it will reclaim Whatever deems or does ordain Like breath or brow like that which rains That soaks the ground and fire's flame. And though a boast of beast will haunt Suffering those to fill its wants The seed will flourish that it taunts No matter how the beast it flaunts. For like the Aum that ryhmes with home The hungry beast will never own The Manna that's inside the bone That is the soul the seed has known. And so the night it comes to pass And light wing bird is gone to catch Filling first its basic needs Then to planting; its own seeds. Fragile And Strong....Sept...19, 2007 She's fragile as cotton Yet strong as its strings. She is the flower Its soul is her wings. She feels what she feels And let's it all show. And when it is time She let's it all go. She is the cloak The clothes that we wear. She is the tear That's always right there. Her tears they come For the flower she brings. She's fragile as cotton, And in; everything. Sacred And Seamless.............June 7-2007 Her Soul shines with signature Sacred and seamless from room to room. Ways with deep simplicity Hold a peace like one's love for the moon. Shades of color wrap one's heart With Goddesses and Buddhas And butterflies their art. With pinks, purples, yellows and green Blue and white trim, and browns in between. Eireen, and Isolt, Pele and Shelt Their words of love are felt throughout. She sits...I stand She sits...I kneel She sits...I crave She sits...I feel All that she's got. Love is abundance (Not material) Like a child who knows love Without being taught. Tapestries decorate togetherness with form Just like the sunflower that survived the storm. And I sit in her presence taking her in Sacred and seamless, without; as within..... The Beach Comber.....may 15...2007 I walk the beach through sands that sift Between the toes through tide and rift. I look for things the sea has sent Upon the shore where they are spent. It is the call from piper's past That plays the coast with net to catch The likes of me to teach and cast The bait of line for it to last. And so it is I walk the beach To shore the sands of time from breach To leave behind what I might tell By adding voice to sea and shell. Honoring Life Her beauty rips desire in half Exposing one's naked truth. She's an Elizabeth Taylor A four point crystal Dazzling in her poignant youth. Her body sweeps through desert brush Igniting as she passes As seeds begin to shoot their stems As time ignores the lapses. Her image lights the path that leads Through death its chamber door unhinged. Where love renews its soulful purpose When filled with pleasure it begins. For now a spring its source has sprung An oasis in the madness Wanting just to drink from her And take away the sadness. And, with fruit to pair with skillful knife Digesting all she has to give, This my friend to honor life And what it means for life to live, For she that holds the mystery And makes the waves each one to rise, Takes desire torn in half And seals it through bold flaming eyes. Her hands cup every path Even paths without a face Spreading legs in spite of that Open to the will of grace. And like the knife that tears through skin Getting to the flesh within, She accepts what has been torn So seed can once more; take its form. You Light Up My World...May 11, 2007 You light up my world And give it eyes to see. You fill it with color And geography. And all I need Is to think of you And there you are You're in full view. You light up my world And give it music to hear. Music so deep It needs not my ear. Yet every note Is a diagram of you And there again, You are in my view. You light up my world And erase all my fears. And that because You're always right here. All I need, is to feel What is true. And there again, You're in my view. You light up my world And the roses give scent. With a fragrance that speaks To the heart where it's meant. And it touches and does things No flower can do, Because there again, You're in my view. You light up my world With a taste for this life. And my spirit is fed Enjoying each bite. And I take each mouthful And I chew and I chew Because once again; You're in my view! And, I love you....Happy Mother's day... I Call Her Springtime...July 18...2007 I call her Springtime...Why? Because she's so fine Always fresh always new Forever young forever true. I call her Springtime...Why? Because she's in my heart She's in my head Where dreams are fed; with her. I call her Springtime...Why? Because there's no one else That lifts me just the way She does. She's the freshness that I taste And she's always in first place She's the feeling in the air The one that's always there; for me. I call her Springtime...Why? Springtime... IS.... MINE! 17? June 15, 2007 She writes like a song bird On a Saturday night Singing with words That make you take flight With trees and stars Reflecting her thoughts Stilled with landscape Together she's brought Her eyes shine With anticipation She's the fulcrum the light For the new generation She writes from seeds That come from her heart She's fed in dreams And she's mountains apart She raises her skirt For the world to see Her naked form In her poetry She's a sunflower against A vanilla sky A paper bear Full of surprise She has the gift The poet's eye And something more She doesn't try Her dreams are filled With vibrant color Symbolically tailored In flowing dress Like when a cloud Purple rained on them Washing them white She saw love no less She lays with an old man And sings him a song She's as comfortable there As one who belongs Belongs to the spirit That has the same goal Like that dream the way It spoke to her soul Now in that dream She's on top of a mountain (This she tells in retrospect) A thousand people form a great circle And while holding hands recite "When souls connect" That poem is one That is her favorite It talks about love A love that is shared Shared with others Who come to find it Just as she had Because she's there There in that moment That skips by time 17? Only if you're blind! Heart Of Hearts.....May 4th..2007 Oh heart of hearts Why am I so hard to find When you are always there In this heart where we both dine? I see you there as in the light Light that comes with day. And there again when the night When night just wants to play. And when I look around I see you all the time So heart of hearts please tell me Why am I so hard to find? I feel you like the breeze That whispers to the grass I see you like the butterfly Before its wings attach. I hold you in that place That place that has no time. I look in to my heart And see you there as mine. Can the outside be separate When love is there within? Can the blue bird fly solo Without the help of wind? Can love be silenced Though the earth it may divide. Can the thief who got away Can the thief ever hide? Can you love another Another without love? Can you find what isn't lost Like the sky above. I love you that is all I know And you are always there. You are the very breath This breath I breathe as air. And if that heart of hearts Is just too blind to see, I'll give it time to find itself And then, it will find me..... THE BRIDE...............May 7, 2007...D. C. Bianchino Reach for life as if she's the bride, Lay together as one side by side. It is a gift for the senses to know, Treat her well and her rivers will flow. Let each day be your wedding night! Keep her close hold her tight! Tell her you love her, and will always be true, And there's nothing that she, won't give to you. She will give you things to smell and taste, Beautiful scents, and foods without waste. She will let you feel her, and hear what she longs, Her textures are many, and sweet are her songs. She will let you see in ways you have not, For you are the eyes for all that she's got. She is waiting for you to just open wide, For she is this EARTH, SHE is; THE BRIDE! Love's Mystery......4-14-2007 And you swallow what makes the eyes to see, The D.N.A in all life's mystery. That which open's hearts to finally be, Like the soul that finally set's this body free. And a love is felt that is jealous as the wind. For nothing can escape or hold this love that lies within. Like a storm that raises waves to feel again That ecstacy before the calm decends To swallow its own mystery, and love; that has no end.... I Stand naked.................April 9 2007... I stand naked and you don't see me I move and you're not there. I wonder what you're thinking While looking down I see you stare. Is it something that you're hiding 'Cause it seems that you don't care. Are you thinking of another If you are then it's unfair. What is it that distracts you That keeps you far away. 'Cause I know I feel your distance What is it you'd like to say. Is your soul so incomplete That my love cannot compete? Or are you someone else I know nothing who's about? If so just let me in Don't let me feel alone. Please tell me who you are Let yourself to me be shown. I stand before you naked To give myself to you. And it seems that you don't see me And I don't know what to do. I stand before you naked With all of me it takes. I stand before you naked Now embarrassed and forsaked. I stand before you naked With these feelings I must own I stand before you naked And wishing you were home. I took a chance to show myself And now I feel a fool. I took a chance you don't know And felt a breeze one cool. So if you lost desire Or love that you can't see. Please my love don't wait around And my love will go free. Because; I stand before you naked Opened ever wide. I stand before you naked With every bit of pride. I stand before you naked And feeling something died. I stand before you naked And my heart just sat; And cried..... Without You.....4-16-2007 It's another day without you How can I go on? It's another day without you With another sad sad song. And I write it just because I've got nothing else to do. All because it's another day That I am without you. Do you feel the pain? Is it the same? 'Cause I know your situation And that situation is my shame. Can you read my thoughts? Feel my saddened heart? Can you feel my love Being far apart? Can this be right? Can this be wrong? To have these feelings For you, that are, so strong? 'Cause, without you now I don't feel whole 'Cause you are there You're in my soul. And I know it's love love love This feeling that is there. 'Cause there's nothing else that I can do Because, it's another day without you. I hope one day you hear this song On the air where it belong's. 'Cause I want the world to know my love To feel this feeling I have because There's nothing else that I can do Because, it's another day without you. It's a simple kind of love because, it came so easy It's something I just knew. But it's a complicated feeling 'Cause I feel it all the time And time is something I, don't want to do, Not without you. It's a complicated feeling And I feel it in this rhyme A rhyme that says that I'm in love with you. A complicated feeling 'cause I feel it all the time And time is something I, don't want to do, Not without you you you, not without; you!.... Thinking About You.....March 25, 2007 Thinking about you I think about all those things we've done together. I think about all those times I've watched you. It always make's me feel so excited, And it happen's every time when I do. I think about those things that haven't happened yet. And that excitement is right there, like when we met. For certain things are kept in mind forever, Like the thought of you I never will forget. You make it happen just for being who you are. And as I said, the thought of you is never very far. So when I am alone which, is a lot, I go into my mind which, hasn't forgot. 'Cause that is where I feel what I felt before, And it's easy when it's you, I'm only looking for. 'Cause I love you, and I know that, because I'm sure, And so it is I think about you, always wanting; more!.... Lifting Flowers Lifting flowers Fairies feather. Watching dancer Spread her wings. Spirits moving from the center, Spirits watching everything. Whether day, or the night Always there out of sight. Lifting flowers all together Showering her with flowers light... She The Tree.....March 7th, 2007...D. C. Bianchino.. She The Tree Calls to her Those of us Blind to see The beauty in Her nature So natural And so free. She waves her branches Where she stands A movement for Her host the land While underneath Let's shadows fall Gracing those of us She calls, To witness She The Tree Fulfilling her Sweet destiny For part she plays And has to be Because of love For you and me She gives to thee For She's; The Tree. And the sweet that decorates Makes eyes swell and sweat, as if puffing On a magical, medicinal plant Taking them to a psychedelic mystery of mind Where all things are kept; kept to be nurtured For the senses, assuring us the Oneness Of all things. All things that float in the Oneness Of mystery as in She The Tree. Her fruits, ornaments that dangle Lit by the river that flows through Hearts, seducing some to paint With words her perfect form. A form that keeps rolling over As in thoughts, trying to see What else there is to find, like, Sweet to rind. A narcotic from Tree to vine, now doing time Pollinating those that wait Like bird or bee from She The Tree To take, as do I, so She can fly, And NEVER, NEVER; die! Why, What, And Where....March 20, 2007 Why does one touch one so profoundly To excite the centers to ignite? Entering thoughts, thoughts that swim With the one, carrying them like a mighty river When rushing a passenger towards the waiting sea? What is it that we find in another That isn't found in ten thousand leaves? What is that, that when we do, it makes us Somehow once again to believe in you, and; me? And where are you outside of this thought That wants you beside it confirming what's real? And where are you if you're not here Where are you this one I can feel? And where will it end this that begins The wanting it has, is it just ether Above the sky, or the shade of light That makes blue? Or, is it THAT LOVE That entered, that makes the heart renew What it always has known, through YOU.... Driven I gave you my time But I couldn't get through. I gave you my heart But it wasn't for you. I wish that it had But wishing's not true. 'Cause I know it now That nothing will do. Oh it's not your fault It's just the way we live. And it's really kind of funny The kind of love that we give. For me it's your tease While others you please. Doing it naturally Loving with ease. But I want you madly In love with me. With no one else You'd rather see. And no one else You'd rather I be. Yes, I want that wholeness That sets our soul's free! I want you to feel it In your heart. With that feeling of emptiness When we're apart. I want that love So deep it hurts. Like a bird when sad That sound that it chirps. I want you jealous And possessive too. And all over me When I am with you. I want it all Your gift to be given. For love is the ultimate And so I am driven. I know this sounds Like a fairy tale. These things that I want Though my love it has failed. But, it is what I want That love in the NOW. It's not to control Just love with the Tao. And if this leaves One little spark. And this love I pour Leaves love's mark. Then I'll walk to you (Though another stood back.) And we'll be those wolves Looking down; at the pack..... I Stand In Your Hallway...March 2nd 2007 D. C. Bianchino I stand in your hallway While others get in For your cookies and milk And I just get thin. I wonder why You close your door Leaving me outside While for others you poured. Yet still I wait In that hallway that's dark Hoping that one day Your door you will crack. The most cherished of gifts Is the gift of the self And I wonder why Your's goes to somebody else. And still I wait In front of your door Wait to get inside For that milk, you have Stored....Because; I know, it is there... FAR AWAY....Feb, 25, 2007...D. C. Bianchino Well Well Well My love seems so far away And here I am feeling what dreams only say. And time just goes and it's not going my way But here I am dreaming again yesterday. And I dream dream dream And I dream of you. It seems the only thing, That I can do. Maybe it's what keeps me alive This dream I have one day to arrive. Do you have the same? Does it have my name? Or is it just a game, If so what a shame. Tell me if it's so, I really want to know. Or are you just a ghost in my dreams Where I'm the host. I know we talk a lot, and still there is this spark. But I wonder if it's really this dream that I can feel. I know there is this scene where life it comes between, Keeping us apart, this joining of the hearts. And I wonder if, we'll walk the heather To touch this dream we have together, Or will it just end like this, a love so far away Our dreams, just; missed. And still, I'll dream dream dream I'll dream of you, it seems the only thing, That I can do....I LOVE YOU....I LOVE YOU...I LOVE YOU... Laugh With Love..............Feb 22, 2007 Laugh with love And let the night laugh too! Feel your love, That's surrounding you. Touch that love That is everywhere. Laugh with love It is in; the air.... I See Your Face Feb.18,2007 I see your face in my soul. And; Its really a deep, dark feeling;THIS LOVE. Much darker than the nights before when my soul would leave. Because; Now it covers me inside and out with its mystical web. Like a veil weaved of gold thread attaching me to THIS, and this that wants more of THAT! THIS, that is in the bliss of the ether, the BREATH that breathes, breathes its sweet self from IT, To me, Through you~ The true face inside my soul. Sacred Waters.......Feb 9, 2007 D. C. Bianchino I drink from your Sacred waters Those waters that came From our mother's tears I drink and I feel replenished Dispelling the myth of those ancient fears The Owl approves that stands by us Letting the night have its way For nothing can come between us No more will fear have the say The garden has called us as before To be and so this birth Preparing the way for those to come To be a light for this our earth And so it is that we must shine To show the way though dark the night Lighting with flame so eyes can see Just as the Owl to give her; sight. I Am There....1-26-07.....D. C. Bianchino www.thefourthpath.com A clip of your hair, And I am there--- ( I love you so much! ) It is there beyond the grave-complete. Seducing my mind and my soul With its power of you, speaking to me. It is as if; I've been allowed, inside you, Into that place, that only God has been, And I; so long to be. A clip of your hair, And the winds of the Sahara, swirl and sweep Sands made smooth, ( Just for us ) Making way for true love to walk its dunes, And share its virgin bed... A clip of your hair, More prescious than the finest of jewels, Wears around my neck, touching my heart With a golden hew, lighting my soul With its glow. A clip of your hair, And I am there, I am there; With you!...From one clip, of your hair... I love you.... Daniel Swollen The river swollen brown Makes its way to the sea Carrying with it all Of yesterday's debris. Tomorrow it will still With blue and green to be Until it swells again so much It must empty; to be free! ANNA...Just To Let You Know...Jan, 25, 07 When I hold you in my arms, my thoughts stop. And when our tongues touch, it's as if they are one. My restless soul becomes still, and a joy fills the spaces In my mind, and there's no place that I'd rather be, Than with you, and THAT love, that hold's back time... See; mountains that once were, just dissolve, as if to Melt into the ether, the great void, that can only be described, As pure consciousness, pure bliss. Proving that love exists, THAT love, not even day can take away- I know! Because, today the touch remain's. Why? Because, It is what was behind it! And so today, the blues Look bluer, as do the greens and reds. And the troubles Of all the yesterdays, have joined the living dead. All because, you are there instead. And so it is I wait for you, on the top of the mountain. With THAT love that stills the seas, moves mountains, And find's itself everywhere! With THAT love, I wait; For you!.... LOVE; Daniel.... Black Alice.......D. C. Bianchino Jan-23-07...www.thefourthpath.com Black Alice when on the move Every turn she takes is smooth. Can't get enough of her because, Every inch of her is LOVE. Her breath it sets the soul on fire She takes you to that place that's higher. Black Alice she is the ONE That is the setting of the sun. Her lips are night's only fuse All the stars are her's to use. And when her light sweeps the sky Stars ignite and want to fly. Black Alice opens the doors To shades of dark not seen before. And if so lucky she should kiss She always leaves you with her bliss. Black Alice is the silhouette That makes the body want to sweat. She is the thought you cannot shake And so it is, one long's to take. And when she finally says goodbye She leaves you with her in your eye. Until the next time she does grace To take you to her sacred place. THAT PLACE....D. C. Bianchino...Jan, 30, 2007 The Owl watches as dams break Spewing liquid love. Washing, soaking, cleansing and healing, While on its way to the Sacred Sea. Because, Isis, Venus, Athena and Lilith Their love imprisoned was being freed. And so the journey long overdue Attracts the Wolf, as in you, and me. The Wolf thirsty drinks from her waters, Licking her wounds along the way. Answering the call that awoke inside them, Just as the Sun calls on day. Lost in the passion of purified pleasure, Waves rise from the ocean's floor. Reaching like fingers cradling a candle, Reaching for That Place; without a shore!... For You To Feel Good! Just want to write a song That makes you feel good. Too know I could, just for you. So I guess it must start with a moment, This one that's brand new, Just for you! 'Cause everything's right here and now, And everyone that see's you Say's wow! wow! wow!. You! You! You! There's no one around quite like you! You make everyone smile And feel worthwhile, Yes you do! do! do! Even rain smiles, coming down, And dances for us When it hits the ground. Like the sun that shines, Or those cloudy days. The smile that you show It goes both ways, And we're save, save, saved! You're my friend, you're my friend, And I love you for that, And so so beautiful, just to look at. And so it is, I'm inspired to write, Here and now, in this moment that's light. With the thought of you, here in the now, Seeing you smile, and thinking, Wow! Wow! Wow! I want to eat you all up And just be with you Never let go Keep it brand new Get lost in that love The one that is true It's all in this moment 'Cause that's what you do, 'Cause you smile, smile, smile, And everything becomes; Worthwhile....'Cause YOU Smile! smile! smile! And that is The WOW that is NOW!.... THE VOW OF NOW I will be here with you with no distractions; right now. I will lose myself in you; right now. I will mix with you in this moment; right now. I will love you as no other; right now. My heart and my soul will be yours; right now. My purpose will come together; right now. I will be with you as ONE forever; right now. This I vow to you; right now! Waking......December 24, 2006...D. C. Bianchino A rain day in San Marcos, With Sun and rain In my heart..... Upon waking this morning This came to me.... I went to the deepest part of my being And found you there. You were there last night, And again this morning. And so my despair, and yet, This tormented joy. But that's OK, it shows I care. You would think I'd be happy, Ever rejoicing now that I found What I was looking for. But how can I be, When you haven't found What I've been granted, (or cursed) To see, that is, you; and me.... I wish I had other distractions, but; No I don't! that's over now. why? Because I found you there In the deepest part of my being, And, I cannot live the lie! So it is, that I am filled with this fear, That time will run out, Before you and I in a physical way, Will lie together, and too be about. Because, I went to the deepest Part of my being, and found you there Where reason itself became humble To say, " The love you found I cannot argue, or try to sway. Because you are night, and they Are day; THAT IS the Sacred Pair; Because, you went to the deepest Part of your being, where they both stay." And so it is for now to feel this joy unfair, Because, I went to the deepest Part of my being, and saw, us; there! I Swim With You.....D. C. Bianchino..Dec 27-2006 I swim with your Light and your glory I swim with the thought Of you. I swim with it deep Inside me I swim with it More than what's true. I swim with it When I am happy And especially when I am sad. I swim with it When there's no story Or witness to what Makes me glad. I swim with you In these quiet rooms Like a bath in Suttle perfumes. I swim with you In that sacred place Where the blood meets The dark of the moon. I swim with you You that is everywhere In everything That I touch. I swim with you More than just yesterday Because I, just love you; So much.... Candles......Dec, 26, 2006...D. C. Bianchino Ten candles burn outside, One burns inside all alone. Ten candles giving night some light, While the one inside just burns The bone. It must be another Christmas, Or the rejection of last week. Or maybe it's what the soul Goes through, before it goes To sleep. Or maybe it's just plain bad luck, Or karma for the past. Or maybe it's nothing more than this, Candles, that don't; last.... So Warm, So Warm! Inspired by my Jaimie, my Soul.... Dec.5,'06 I never thought I'd feel like this Wanting to love you every day I never thought I'd want a kiss That would never go away I never thought I'd love someone With a love that felt so pure I never thought I'd say these words This love I have is sure~ Amor, Amor. I stare at you I stare at you Through eyes that see complete A beauty that my soul's compelled To rise for it must speak It does when I'm alone in thought Thoughts just filled with you And so I write them down because That is what I do 'Cause you are who I think about When morning fills with light 'Cause you are always with me now And so it is I write And when I'm in your presence The words just melt away For everything is so complete There's nothing more to say For there's a glow that says it all I know it's always true 'Cause everytime I feel so warm When I am next to you....I love you. YOU...Inspired by My Jaimie , My Soul...Dec 3-06 YOU You teased my heart Till it played It's song of love The one it held so deep I didn't even know Where it was Or, if it even existed. Yes you The one that awoke This music within That music that some May even call its sin As if it's a place Not to be crossed Like a place reserved For some false Gods. Yet when the music played It rose within me Like a magical wave That washes, polishing Stones into gems Gems to be set and worn By the newly ordained Kings and queens. With the rest being strewn About the sea Setting it affire. And in this song This feeling, a texture In music I could touch Pressing my fingers deep Into its liveness As much so to taste it On my finger tips Like one might a tear That comes to the eye Of a love. And now I wonder How I ever could have forgot When you were always there You- You This song in my heart.... LOVE IS WHEN..............Dec,2nd, 06 D . C . Bianchino Inspired by Vega And WW.DD I wish I could love you The way you love me But it just doesn't happen Happen to be. I know how you feel Honest I do When you think this time This love is true Only to find they don't love you. So, I wish I could love you The way you love me But it just doesn't happen Happen to be. See, you're not alone With the way that you feel Even when thinking "Is there a love real?" But one things for certain We all play our part In this, our life's journey That is about heart. And, connecting with another For the ultimate bliss Once completing the circle That was loneliness. And when we do It will be for sure There will be no doubt THAT LOVE will be pure. And you and I Together will say Be patient for THAT For THAT is loves way. But for now we must feel What doesn't feel good In order to realize Love as it should. And even when someone Says" It isn't me". They too are there To set our hearts free For true love to be.... NIGHT'S LOVE...Nov 2006 The NIGHT held you Like it hold's its own precious stars. Your face reflected a quiet love, As Night's own shadow fell across. And Night had, just had to hold its breath. When seeing your love freed, Like a star that shoots across the sky for all to see, (The one that ignites all others to shimmer), Night finally slept while holding you In his shadowy arms, as your head rested Upon his shoulder, it too freed; by love... Chelsea.............Nov...2006 She moves like an excited cat. Filled with life and nowhere to go. Her library is unkept, strewn here and there, Like men that she meets. ( None being able to understand her true desires.) She's reaching, that is, wanting to reach, Reach that incredible unknown. That place where few ever, ever find. Her beauty is; well, she is desire itself, And so close to; THAT, that channel, Where light first begins, that spiral An elegance only she knows, But, knows not what to do with it. All because of mores of this day, This time; this place.... *** The poem "An Inspiration" is also a part of this song. *** It is best to sing them together. AN INSPIRATION You are an inspiration, A poem for the pen. You are an inspiration, The song in the wind. You are that inspiration, That moves words to flow. You are that inspiration, The poem that says it's so. Look at you, standing there, Your light fills the room. Look at you, without care, That is, without it's gloom. You are that inspiration, The rose that opens wide. You are that inspiration, You stand side by side. You are that inspiration, The poem that comes to life, You are that inspiration, For such poems, a poet writes. It's As Simple As That...Nov...2006...D. C. Bianchino I love you It's as simple as that. I don't know, How long it will last. And I know it's, Moving real fast, And I don't care, And that is a fact. 'Cause I feel it, And it's feeling good. Not thinking, About if I should. Just letting, It do its own thing, And feeling, Each day like it's spring. 'Cause I don't want, to have too look back, So I'll love you, it's as simple as that. See my body Is reaching for you, And my spirit, Is doing it too. See we want it, We're both giving in, And enjoying, This feeling within. And if fools gold, Or I told you so. I'll say thankyou, For the love now I know. And I like it, This desire I have, 'Cause I'm smiling, Even though I'll feel sad. But that's OK 'Cause I'm feeling alive, And the lovin, My smile cannot hide. 'Cause I don't want, to have too look back, So I'll love you, it's as simple as that. Now some say, Don't be a fool. But time says, Don't play it cool. Just take what, Has been givin to you, 'Cause LOVE IS! And that's what is true! So I don't know, How long it will last. And I know it's, Moving real fast. And I don't care, And that is a fact, I'll just love you, It's as simple as that. I'll just love you, There's no looking back, I'll just love you, It's as simple as;THAT! NOW The curtain blows And I blow with it. The music plays And so do I. I think of you And lose the minute, When yesterday, Says goodbye. JAIMIE, THE ONE................NOV, 12, 06 Everybody loves Jaimie, and Jaimie loves everyone. She is like a child that makes souls smile, 'Cause Jaimie is really the ONE. She is the ONE that we look for, The ONE that makes the heart whole. That's why everbody loves Jaimie, 'Cause Jaimie will never be old. When she dances she dances with freedom, 'Cause freedom is the partner she holds, Jaimie is the child who's inside us, Jaimie is the rose that unfolds. She raises her hands to the music, Reaching up to the sky, She puts a white light all around her, And her love just begins to fly. She dances with snake like moves, With a body that's just as smooth. She is the full moon's mood, As the love from both does ooz. She's a crystalized Island of glass, Reflecting love out to the last, She's the dew and smell of sweet grass, Jaimie is the ONE we cain't pass. She's the fairy dust in a beam, When light through a window is seen. She's beautiful tall and lean, 'Cause Jaimie is the ONE God dreamed. She's loved by every known flower, 'Cause that is in her power, To love whatever she sees, Which means love for you and me. Jaimie is the child who's inside us, She, is God manefest. At the same time she's mother and mistress, Goddess and waitress at best. 'Cause Jaimie is really the ONE, The ONE that makes the heart whole. 'Cause Jaimie is the ONE that we look for, Jaimie is the ONE in our soul! I TASTE.....Nov...9th, 2006 I taste what makes life possible, I taste the precious. I taste the mystery Hidden between those swollen walls. I taste the beginning and the end. I taste, and it becomes part of me, Closer than my skin. I taste the past, present, and future. I taste its purpose, that pleasure, That intensity. I taste what remains, That which just; IS. I taste its intimacy, Like a shade , or veil That covers its eye. I taste its importance, that sacrifice. I taste the fire from its heart That burns my tongue, yet sooths. I taste what only it has been allowed, I taste its sweet secret, its power of persuasion. I taste but a sample of only which, It will ever know. THAT magnitude, Which leaves my pleasure pale. I taste that which makes me Come back for more. In want of what it has, Its rapture, its bliss. I taste that love that spews, Like a dam released, unplugged. Washing me till my soul is pleased, And all this because, I tasted; you! Just The Thought Of You...Nov 1st o6 Just the thought of you And I feel new, And there's nothing that I cannot do. Just the thought of you Lifts my wings, And moves my heart To sing sing sing. Just the thought of you Brings out a smile, And everything Is all worthwhile. Just the thought of you And I'm on fire, Just the thought of you Takes me higher. Just the thought of you And I can love again, Again and again, There is no end. Just the thought of you And I am home, Just the thought of you, And I'm not alone. Just the thought of you And yes I fly, Just the thought of you Fills the sky. Just the thought of you I feel alive And just the thought of you Is the reason why; it's just the thought of you.... When Thoughts Are Few...Oct 5, 06 Sitting on a log I look around at the leaves, Those ready to sacrifice their lives So the tree will survive Through the long cold winter. The breeze playing its part Shakes the branch Upon where they sit, Nudging them to move on. A carpet of grass Waits to catch their flight, It too changing So the roots beneath Will have another chance Come spring. The evergreens I see Stand like parents Guarding their offspring, They, ready to face The army of winter. ( Majestically speaking ). The log where I sit Layed down many years before, (As the wiskers on its bark Making its character Leads me to know). And, that if no interfering Perhaps another will sit And ponder those things In ways that speak When thoughts are few.. THE RING Oct, 12, 06 It's a ring, not just a ring It's a ring that want's to sing. To sing to you its song of love The one it holds the memory of. For in its memory, it did feel The love it felt, that made it real. A love the ring now holds onto Like a love that's always new. And, no matter where the ring may lay The love it holds will not decay. For it is there, it has been saved And has since, that fateful day. And so this song it will remain Until the last will sing the same. For it was then that it became For that is when it was ordained. Now it's a ring, not just a ring It's a ring that want's to sing. To sing this song of love that's true The ONE that says, I do; love you....

Lost In Time And Space Side streets, curtains closed. A blue canoe, love rolls. A library, parking lot. Love is, on the spot. Whisperings, love bites. Two now one, inner sight. Green eyes, love sighs. Lazy smiles, so defies. Three hours, time lapse. A blue canoe, two in back. Lost in time, and space. Just there, in that place. Lost in time; and space. Dec. 25, 2005 Jaimie's Song I woke up this morning feeling pretty good Woke up this morning thinking that I should Woke up this morning feeling mighty fine Woke up this morning 'cause you were on my mind. I love you I love you don't need to know why All I know, is I feel I can fly You are just there like breathing in air And nothing else matters I really don't care. 'Cause I woke up this morning feeling mighty fine Woke up this morning with you on my mind. Last night at the coffee house there was music outside Music that touched this Tantra inside. Everyone felt it I know you could tell The music had magic leaving its spell. I wrote a few lines thinking of you It was to blue grass the kind that is true The blue grass was wet the music its dew But nothing compares with the dew that's from you. You are the balance keeping it light The dream that came even in spite And now it's something I hold on to tite Feeling as if I'm some human kite. I came to love you there was no then It wasn't like falling just came to it when And now that I am there is nothing to hide And so this good feeling of being alive. I woke up this morning feeling pretty good Woke up this morning thinking that I should Woke up this morning feeling mighty fine Woke up this morning "cause YOU were on ; my mind. D. C. Bianchino July 2006 July 2oo6...D. C. Bianchino...Inspired by Jaimie MORE I love you more than sex. Never thought I'd say that. Your presence is my pleasure. It's deeper than its cousin. I stare and just get lost, So pleased no need to try. I stare because you're beautiful, And your beauty satisfies. It carries me through ego's flight. A bridge connecting separate shores. Where love needs not its love restore, And so it is, I love you ; more.... You Will Know Tantra "The animal lies in wait For smell and taste. Its appetite seen, in eyes; Awake!" When THAT love makes desire blush And the heart to moan turning blood purple. And your thoughts become braided, woven From the finest of silks, and fused from THAT Eternal flame. When time disappears into the great void Where true selves meet, and the soul Cries itself to sleep. You will know; Tantra! D. C. Bianchino June 28, 2006 D. C. Bianchino May 13th 2006 For all who wish to use. This is the story how marriage began. Before there was anything, like life as we know it. There was only God, and God's Angels. They existed in pure consciousness and bliss. Then something happened. Two of the angels ached for each other, feeling a strange new love. God knowing this became jealous. (Even though both still loved God.) God then admonished them, and as their punishment sent them out into the great void of NOTHINGNESS. Now trillions of years passed and God, seeing how devoted and lasting their love for each other was, became moved and compassionate. God then brought the two loving angels back from out of the great void of NOTHINGNESS. Then God called all the angels to come forth in order to bare witness to what God now would sacredly bestow on these two committed ones. When all were present God spoke. And this is what God said. " Because of your unbroken love for each other; (and me) which has stood the test of what will be called time, I will perform a wedding ceremony and you will both be married. But first I must give you both souls, which will be our everlasting connection. (All was done simultaneous upon God's words.) THIS WILL BE." With the wedding and marriage over God added: "As your wedding gift I will now create Chaos and give to you a paradise to be called Earth. There will be stars above and planets to view, and a moon to excite you. There also will be light and darkness, pain and pleasure, joy and sometimes bliss. You will also be made flesh and have beautiful senses, all to add to your pleasures in this most beautiful paradise. And because you are both true in this love you share, you will both have a feeling that you are home. And that is because you will be together and be truly soul mates. All those who follow you, they too will know their love is as true because of this same feeling of being home when first meeting each other." God continued: "All such marriages will be done in honor of you both. You will be the seed, and you will be in, all such marriages." When God ended, the two angels kissed each other. God surprised, asked them "What is it that you do?" "Well, we kissed. We learned this while being out in the great void of NOTHINGNESS." God was very pleased and smiled. The two angels were then transferred to this paradise we call Earth. And to give this story its credibility is the evidence between this marriage between (add persons name) as will be for all marriages that follow in this beautiful world without endAmen WHY Why the love you want Is the love you cannot have. Why is it so taboo Where happiness meets sad. Why when you know it's true And there's nothing you can do. Why does it lift your wings And stay in front of you. Why now to feel the thief Who stole and got away. Why is it in the eyes Without a word to say. Why must love hold its breath Where secrets are kept safe. Why does it feel it must Every pore to penetrate. Why does the heart stay strong In spite of being weak. Why does it so remain Remaining where it peaks. Why does it still remember That moment it did find. Why does it still remember That moment without time. And, why must there be those days Days that you just cry Well, Love just can't be reasoned For Love is not; a WHY... VEGA Her body is a wave of light. Her every move say's she might. She is the mother and the child. The source of everything that's wild. She is the maiden and the wife. The mistress and the seed of life. She's the smoke seen in the sun's beam. The reason we, all can dream. She's the shadow in the silhouette. The footprint in the sand that's wet. She's the sunset and midnight sky. The star, that never dies. She is solar, she is flare, her beauty Is beyond compare. She is water, she is fire, She is love, she's desire. She's a feeling felt inside. (Although from most her face she hides.) She's the only soul that's mate. Her message is for us to wait. For she, is; Patience. She, is; VEGA! From the love I have seen....D. C.

No stranger was there, Not at all So glad to see me With curious look A look with love. "Well hello (I said) It's been a long time And it's really good to see you." Then that smile That smile that says it all. In and out she came Not able to hold it. We embraced till neither One nor the other. And then she left To wait inside With purple light Until that time, Without; divide. The Lover's We Are Let's walk together As the lover's we are. Let's hold hands And stare into each Other's eyes.

It was the magic in your smile And something deeper in your eyes. It was the love you have I felt Even though for someone else. But that joy transcends all time And that love became as mine.

You put the light on in my soul And woke this dream inside I hold; For Love. The Little Light She walks without compunction And prays with humility She is the candles very heart The fruit for all to see. Her makeup is her beauty With scarf that hides her hair Yet open like her eyes So green, alive, and bare. She is the white of the dune The quick of the sand The one who holds the shift through winds And stills again the land. She is the mother and the child Her innocence completes The soul that lies beneath the sword That holds the one true peace. She is, Mohammed's bride, The well, when we thirst A sister to the sun An equal to the first. She is the mountain that I climb The wolf that waits on top She is the woman that I love The woman men have sought. She is; Roshanak My meeting with a Flower Child By: D.C. Bianchino Thefouthpath.com August 6, 2005 God sent me a flower child Who brought me some lilies A flower of summer And one of forgiveness We prayed together After hugging a tree Raising our arms For the almighty to see. Bring heaven to earth Was one message she brought Letting go, again I was taught "We are the future We're here, it's now! The garden has called us Our Spirits endowed." "There is a place Where streams you can drink With mountains and dunes And like minded do think You need to come" With a smile so in love This healer, this angel, This flower, this dove. "There is a buffalo Exposing itself And also a white bear When snows come about It's a place where shamans And Hopi reside As well as spirits Waiting the tide." She's a Colorado hippie And Kelly's her name A kindergarten teacher A hitch hiking dame You should meet my students Little Bodhisattvas they are Embodying the Tao And the happiest by far." She's fearless in faith And testing it yet Not buckling to fears Of the populous set Her blue eyes hold magic And hope that divides Those that have courage From those that just hide. I gave her a gift She asked me my age Little did I know It was setting the stage Her arms wrapped around me Then a kiss on my lips I felt their gratitude Innocence and bliss. She hiked here to Texas For the love that she had It was only in Dallas Cops treated her bad But now she was smiling And she did it a lot For the peace that is hers She hadn't forgot. "You need to come To the land of forgiveness You need to come" She wrote this by hand "You need to come For the dunes that will hold you You need to come Because that's where I am. Just ask for me At the Earth Star Plaza It's right there In the center of town Just ask for Kelly Everyone knows me And I'll really be happy To show you around." She meditates, she venerates She is, into Buddha Vision quests tribal sweats Don't let this gal fool ya She eats Buffalo knows the Crow The Turtle-peculiar? She's not prejudice she's credulous She's a warrior and a jewelia. I met her later At the Greyhound station Brought her some food For the trip back home Rice and beans ' Peanuts and raisins Then left her love Left them alone. Later I felt Her wonderful presence Heard her voice Calling me "Daniel really You need to come here Cause that's where I am And you need to be. She said our palms Hold our history The one on the left Is the karma we owe "But this one on the right" As she looked all excited "Is the one with our destiny And freedom we'll know." She gave me the message I needed to hear I am forgiven Have no fear We met-no coincidence Both just knew It was no accident This connection was true. I gave her my poetry And gifts to share A symbol, a pipe A sacred pair And now that I end this Our meeting, though rare I suddenly realize, why, I'm already there. The Muse Today is our forever, the night share's its breath. This, the angels pleasure, no more the trials of death. Begin what has begun, for what it has is this, The openness of all there is with wind and all its bliss. For what we have is nature's thirst, for that is what we are, Taking in and giving out the breath of one known star. Like meadow with its ancient feel, and willow and oak tree. Just ask the hawk when over head, for it's the one who sees. The triple muse whose wondrous touch fills the poet's heart, Gathering the seeds to plant, with words to raise the dark. We drink her blood a tea for those who seek cancers cure, The colt its foot, or horses hoof, it's she who does endure. And when this triple muse does speak, to let herself be known, Be sure to look and you might see her hand within; the poem. The Mystery She's like the sea at night with fog And moves like wind across. She's the blue in the grass that's green The page at the beginning and end Of a leather bound book. She dances with fire secretly smiling At her own imperfections She is an Island of foam, No mystery; at all. Outside The Garden Outside the garden The rose still has Its say Weaving winding Into Hearts It finds along The way. Outside the garden This rose now wants to lay Across the breast Of one Whose heart To weave and maybe sway Happy Valentines day She's a woman She's a woman, a beautiful woman, She's all woman, and she's mine. She's a lady, a beautiful lady, She's a lady, and refined. And I'm so lucky, I'm really lucky, I'm damn lucky, for her time. And for this feeling, a black and white feeling, A picture reeling, in my mind. I see her standing her gift she's handing So understanding her every line. And I am happy, I'm really happy I'm so happy, I sing this rhyme She's a woman, a beautiful woman, She's all woman, and she's mine. SHE IS THAT TEXAS BREEZE It's a Texas Breeze that cools the blade of grass. Gentle, yet strong, strong enough to last. It's a Texas Breeze that keeps alive the past, Like the beauty seen, in every Texas lass. She's that; Texas breeze. Definition Of A Soul Mate Two separate beings Equal in part United by love Right from the start. Completing the circle Two halves become whole Each in the other AS ONE in their soul. MY Marena And Me (May 14th 2009) I got lost in Marena, I was taking a walk. I got lost in Marena, in my head I would talk; To her. It was just yesterday, when we both met, But I knew it was her, in my heart I had kept; Marena. Marena, Marena, I've been waiting for you, And I know you felt, what you'd been waiting for too, Marena. Your fingers that touch the strings of your harp, Have touched the notes that beat in my heart, For you, a Marena. Today wind blows, clouds, drift away. Seeing the clearing, this spring, this May, And you Marena why my heart has been tried. Years in the making to have such a bride, As Marena. You are the air, the breath that I take. I am the fire, together we make. Like with patience does skin, leave the snake, For life itself, to rise and to wake. As we my Marena, that I now see. As we my Marena, Marena; and Me... BEING Being in love Is when sad and happy Joy and sorrow The four compete. Being in love Is when affairs of the heart Meet life and death And loves deceit. Like a child Who competes for love One day finds Themselves. Like leaves that turn And fall away Make for another At the end of the day. And courage and lonely Faith and fear Sing their song Helpless and strong. Being in love One holds the note And let's it go Just being there. In darkness and light As does the air It breathes. Senses Where does it come from The sun that dances for Certain eyes? Where does it come from Roses in Mexico with Spanish ties? Where does it come from A lady with suede face From Buffalo hides? Where does it come from The tale that is told That is filled with the wise? Senses in borrowed body's That pleasure themselves Not unlike others before And after. This pleasure, an earthly thing That keeps the fire going, And the candle to sing, This onetime song. Reminding us to enjoy the gifts In this Eden of life like no other, Where bodies; belong. The Gate Of Stars And Stripes I came inside you with my breath. Inhaling exhaling the truth of it. Lips pressed, STILL. Saying it all. Their moment at rest, feeling the present That co-exists- because of; THAT-Oh yes THAT! THAT which brings us to this- The eye of the hurricane. The cave inside The mountain. The place of silence Between walls of the temple-Still- Like pieces of a wooden fence Left standing with field it once surrounded- And with the slow beat of the heart That came in you, and you in me- At the gate of stars and stripes. WORDS! 6-22-09 Ah, words! words that play the song of the soul. Words! vibrations tracing images, painting pictures That will hang on earth like a mosaic on walls and dome. Words! words that give voice to the true world, Where love lies waiting, and wanting. Words! words that glorify the myth, creation, and purpose. Ah, words! words that sting or melt the coldest heart to sing And to be, Elst be destined to a world without sound, colour, or you and me. Ah, words! I love you.... Russian Girl 6-22-09 Russian Girl: I love your laugh, I love you eyes. I love your smile, I love you thighs. MM I do love you. I love the air you always bring To this heart that wants to sing, MM I do love you. It would be nice to have you now, It's just that I, I don't know how. MM I do love you. You are the Russia that is wild You are the earth, you are its child You are the flower that throws her seeds To the wind where it is freed, And Russian girl, one fell on me. Now to be. You are the Russia, you are its eyes You are the past that's kept alive-wild and free! You that sees what I forgot You that guides me in my thought Leading me to things I've lost Russian girl whose seed I caught. Russian Girl: I love you laugh, I love your eyes I love your smile, I love your thighs. MM I do love you. Russian girl green eyes with blue This seed I caught is one that grew MM I do love you, MM I do love you-Russian girl... Leggy's AH, legs! Those Leggy's That seem to have no end. Legs that get lost in a smile, As they ascend. Reaching. Touching thoughts between what lies within. As one when paths are crossed When eyes begin Wishing for the pleasure For what they might, As when standing, sitting, Or wrapping themselves Around the night. As that fiery star That connects with them Throws its light, Catching imaginations, As they; hold tight!..... Annatari.... Come lay with me-you! You who is looking for what You must know now. You who walked the tracks That took you to that quiet room In your mind. You who had the courage to search And then to find-Love. A love whose been waiting Between distractions of lifetimes. Let your heart explode like a star. Let it rise from the ashes, Like a child who might levitate Upside down with smile. Entering that place Where simple joy radiates! Covering and finishing a textured field, A Christ field-Alive! There with wild flowers Laughing with scent. Let your eye that sees those things-open And be with me, and I with you, And in that quiet room reside....Annatari... You that squeezes light; out of darkness.... The Smiths In The heart of the song The Gold Glitters. The Smiths Gold glitters by hand of the Smiths Rough made smooth as a monolith This is the truth of the alchemist One like the other, like fog is to mist. As a bracelet weaved of the finest stones Speaks inside of the weavers when shown Like bone to marrow, and marrow to bone Eternally present, eternally known. And when fires make the metals weep The soul inside will never sleep For that is when its made complete Like diamond is, to which it seats. So with power, and tools, and eyes that cast Forged by the master with fineries fast Will hold the future as does the past Shaped, designed, and sized to last. For the master Smith the earth it wakes And from the deep its secrets take Passing them on to ones namesake That passes it on in what they make; The Smiths. When The Bee Comes Round oct 31 2009 It's time for me to go, you know. It's not because I don't love you, It's just time for us to grow, you know. There's a voice I hear calling me to face what I must face to see. Not because of destiny, just the chance for what will be; that is free. Like polka dotted paper bears playing games when no ones there. Inside the cover of a book when opened we all get to look, and to know the real story. It's not a search for one to find it's just the movements out of time. It's getting lost being blind, leaving things once more behind, Like paper bears and nursery rhymes, when the bee, comes round, you know. When the bee comes round and you're sitting down with things to write, but you can't. 'Cause it's on your hand you didn't plan so you sit and wait. Then it flies away and you Think about what did it say?...You are the one it was drawn too, trying to wake what lies In you, to do the things that you must do, this you take. It's time for me to go, you know. It's not because I don't love you, It's just time for us to grow, you know. There's a voice I hear calling me to face what I must face to see Not because of destiny, just the chance for what will be, That is free, like the bee that tasted flowers, and; me...You know. 3 In A Band nov 2009 inspired at the Tantra Coffe House The tent stood high with an orange tint From the lights on stage. 3 in a band ready to play for a minimum wage. The chairs were full, the night was too It was texas time. A perfect night When everything's right and the feelings fine. The guitars sang and the voices rang Through the open tent. Children with moms And dads and dogs the music lent. The warm night air the friendly fare With music light. Two men and a lady It was Texas time on a friday night. Pizza and beers and nighttime cheers After each song. Just glad to be there Looser than string, all getting along. And they played and smiled and called Out names to friends they knew. Keeping it local and a family thing, And Texas true. In a week that some would die And many tears would fall, tonight The music falls on ears as courage Once more calls. Healing what was Yesterday for tonight the night belongs, To 3 in a band and all of us here Listening to their songs, for life, to once more; Move on... I Know You Care Nov 2009 There's a place in my heart....for you. There's a place in my heart....I do. Whenever you come around, the lost is once More found....I knew. And the feeling I get is alive, just something I feel inside And the grass in the field waves that I see And the sun that shines falls on me, And every time I feel I'm free, and just Happy to be. When I hear your voice I just want to talk And I don't care whatever the clock might say. I feel this connection, I don't know why. But I know it feels right as the tears in my eyes, That do not lie. And when morning comes and I get your text, what had been wrong is right then fixed. Just is. I love the things we talk about The cosmic that helps with doubts, I know I have. 'Cause whenever we talk I believe again, It seems once more I remember when, And I get this strength once more And I feel my spirit soar above the roar, Between the doors of those perceptions that we share. And most of all, I know; you care.... Next To Me Nov 2009 It was my look to the left where an angel would sit Next to me... That her beauty would lift a place through my eyes I could see... A quiet love coming from her, truer than most I could tell... While at rest was her arm enjoying this time She was free. A light from the screen lit on her face With shadows flickering as on fingers She swept tickling the top of her hand More sensuous this movement than anything Someone could plan. The smile on her face was a peace That surpasses. Just watching the movie Feeling from someplace inside. ( Like she herself Was playing her part I derived, as all movies, Surely decide.) Slouched in her seat relaxed as a curious diamond Her eyes transfictional, were complete and intentional With her secrets fully intact. God she looked beautiful, happy and musical Like a sparkle that took from the sea. Like a fairy that left the page in a book, Just to be. 'Cause the star in this movie was sitting right there; Next to me.... That Smile Nov 2009 And she walks with a smile from a place deep inside That's free! Something that's hers for us you know, to see! There's this light that shines illuminating time Time that knows, there's more of what can be. It's a knowing things will be all right, for nothing can Put out that light that's soft as a cloud that's in day light From a breath that breathes into it life for you, And; me. 'Cause when all is said and done, the truth always wins, Nothing really ends, it always just begins; you will see. Like that smile that nurtures songs to sing And the birds to mate every spring And the seeds that fruit for us to bring That smile that says "My offering Is one of Love." With THAT smile that says; Because!.... Being Being in love Is when sad and happy Joy and sorrow The four compete. Being in love Is when affairs of the heart Meet life and death And loves deceit. Like a child Who competes for love One day finds Themselves. Like leaves that turn And fall away Make for another At the end of the day. And courage and lonely Faith and fear Sing their song Helpless and strong. Being in love One holds the note And lets it go Just being there. In darkness and light As does the air It breathes. Love Is... 4-10-2008 Love is a ride on a Ferris wheel A roller coaster that makes us squeal. It takes each turn that you can feel And adds a rush that says it's real. It's high it's low it's all around It's in it's out it's up it's down. It is what has that is no doubt It is alive and all about. 'Cause love is thick as air that's thin Carries you up; and in. Wrapped inside its textured skin For that in truth is where it's been. It's like a flower inside that holds Natures honey that is its gold. Waiting just to let it go And what it means to let it flow. With LOVE LOVE LOVE! Much like the skin on a maple tree Inside sweet water when tapped will be. There for the taste and eyes to see Love in its making sets the soul free! With LOVE LOVE LOVE! So this is what it means to love Inside the body of one that does. For love is the pulse and each breath we take And life is the gift whenever we make, LOVE LOVE LOVE!......Because, Love Is.... Mud And Myth March 30, 20088 A hand, a smile. An eye, a tear. A taste, a smell. A voice, an ear. Flesh that ages So with lines. Marks left Alone in time. Filled with talent Bodies swing. Thumbprints different As they sing. (Even though it won't be long Before the honey is all gone.) Fingers stretch Notes that speak. Channeling life And death that meet. Trying to reach A place without, Between what's not But is about. Why and what Is and isn't. This and that Did and didn't. It's a journey Made to do. Where it lies Just for you. As its essence Carries with Thoughts in myriads Mud and myths.... Distractions and Enjoyment Distractions come from the movies We play in our minds. Those enjoyments that give The maya its power. And keeps us from seeing From the tower. Where things are seen From the eye that sees ALL! Touched November 2009 You touched that place where tears cannot hide. You touched that place where Jesus does abide...in me. It came through your voice, I felt it deep within. Then suddenly it happened, and what I felt was Him...the real. You can hear something a thousand times and never feel a thing And then without warning tears are happening...just does. The song you sung had tears You shed I felt the suffering on the cross and the wounds from Him From where He bled and all the blood He lost. Yet in your voice the angels sang of victory over death All because of sacrifices and promises He kept. Then Love itself poured into me and I found myself welling up Inside. And then the flow began when pride was pushed aside; And I cried. You touched that place where tears cannot hide You touched that place where Jesus does abide...in me... I just knew.... Fresh Cut Grasses Fresh Cut Grasses September's Harvest Hay! One's importance Death doesn't care how important one is... Life, doesn't either.... Sauce Divine I made a sauce divine....I know! Its taste told me so... My God! I said, when it entered my mouth. It took me there when I had to shout; This Is It! Like a poem to share. A divine gift from the supersphere. The onion, the garlic, the olive oil. The mint, the basil, parsley and more. The salt and pepper tomatoes so pure, And yes the wine, that made it for sure. And there you have it, a divine mix Made in my van and candles to fix This atmosphere that would endure As music with blend that heightens the score Or a poem when written with soul that lures When you know, you just know... because; The want, is for;MOOOOORE!!!!!.... This Is It My tribute to Michael jackson's "This Is It" For the love of Michael and co. I eat my ice cream. The special film I'm watching Is on pause. Why? Because I don't want to miss Anything. I'm eating it like this dessert. It's perfection at its best. It is the poem we aspire to. It is the supernatural brought to life. It is the color that drips transporting light. It is the curtain that calls the pieces to fit, Because... This; Is It! Touched.... You touched that place where tears cannot hide. You touched that place where love does abide...in me.

You touched that place where tears cannot hide You touched that place where love does abide...in me... I just knew... IF If you want to win wars, drop no bombs Drop them love with open arms. Drop them flowers drop them money Let that love be the honey. Let it pour from above showering those Below with love... Sounds naive? Just believe love will do What love conceives...Let them see, let them feel Freedom when and if it's real. Let this love Overwhelm, let the people come around. Days weeks months years. Show this love That has no fears... No reason for the damage. No reason for abuse. Let love be the reason, let love be the juice. Let people be themselves, just be a part of it. Don't try to change nobody, just let love, the flame Be lit. Drop them flowers drop them money Let that love be the honey. Let it pour from above, showering those Below with LOVE... If you want to win wars Drop no bombs, drop them LOVE With; open arms....IF.... Alma Every now and then someone like you Comes along. Every now and then. Every now and then a star shoots Across the sky, so beautiful to the eye. Every now and then. Every now and then a heart is tried When an Alma's by your side. Every now And then. Every now and then someone Touches that place where love cannot hide. Every now and then. Every now and then a tear comes around One that will not dry. Every now and then. Every now and then your spirit is moved And you know exactly where and when. Every now and then. Every now and then that star descends And you're its final end because, every now And then an Alma stays to never leave; Again....Every now; and then. The Wish I've kissed your lips before; Though a dream. I felt their softness touch that place, Once more...Now I've seen. As when lover's kiss, eyes must close Bringing it deep to soul. The soul that longs what senses do, Feeling what lips to lips, that love that's true, In me, and you. As the dream wake's the wish, to be; Free! That Dress Even though we are as different As a snake is to a camel... I held my breath so intoxicating Was your dress. I could only stare as thoughts held When forced; yes, made to address. And as you walked away a movie Played, so I would find. It was a special Scene that locked itself in my mind. Your move, it brought me back As I recall, like these words I share That somehow had to fall. I was lost for words and so it was I couldn't speak. But if thoughts have Power, mine? Well; not so discreet. Boots hugging towards waiting knees Leotard with mini skirt, eyes pleased. A flower child surely, with a 2000 flare The jacket over shirt with hat over hair. And of course that move with confident walk Perhaps feeling what secretly my thoughts That stalked. Like a voyeur that just Couldn't resist, like that movie before That was to impress....As you did, so, Incredibly…. dressed…. Two In One Our words are mixed together now Like two rivers that converged Your's in mine, mine in your's Together they are merged. Thoughts that share their sameness Experience entwined Both now one as clothes when weaved Both from the same vine. A song to sing our hearts song Composed from that within Sharing life's many sides Sharing where it's been. The music is the juice, sad but Sweet the note It touches deep that essence holds Squeezed till drops they float. Your soul sings the melody The truth in every part It touches me as others will Because it's from your heart. Our words are mixed together now The music is the rind Your's in mine, mine in your's Now two in one; to find. (Sweet the song that sings the soul from body bent inside that holds like ice that melts though it be cold for warm it stays when all is told) Between You And I Let me enjoy your beauty And look into your soul Let it be a quiet time One I can hold Let our thoughts pass Without need to ask Let them just be Weightless in mass Let my breath take All of you in Where your being will Inside of me swim Let this time be Between you and I Where THIS will Forever just lie, Always free........ In Quiet Footsteps In quiet footsteps The road walked. Where trees and birds They do talk. And boulders wait As old as time Patiently, for touch Like mine. The crunch beneath My feet keep To thoughts I have To their own beat. That find themselves On this here sheet Where all I feel And hear, do Meet..... So we could be with, you. Those Little Streams Ah those little streams That weave themselves From birth. Finding their way Through field and stone Woods and earth. Gurgling and rapping Babbling and haggling Singing to passer by. Until disappearing Wiggling and waggling Hidden to ear and eye Leaving to wonder; And why.... OPEN A sparrow Sang her song For me With voice and Beauty I Could see An opera And her destiny Her life and what Was meant to be So Free! Like the Lilly of the Valley that comes Each May Her fragrance waits Each year to stay A gift for those Who make their Way Like a treasure Cast in stone or Clay Found one day; Open. Don't Think About It "How do you let go of something?" Don't think about it. "It's easy for you to say." Don't think about it. "That's all I do all day." Don't think about it Stop those thoughts that stay Don't think about it Don't let them have their way. Don't think about it. "My brain is always on." Don't think about it Just think about this song Don't think about it Until the thought is gone... Take control of you mind Let consciousness it shine Let this be your line Don't think about it Let it be your rhyme. Obsessive thoughts Don't want to die On you obsessions do rely Without judgments you can try Don't think about it And watch them fly. Your mind doesn't know How to let them go So when a thought come to sit...Just; Don't think about it! Don't think about it, Don't think about it, Don't think about it, Don't think about it! On The Dundee's Run A Place Of Miracles Where flowers laid The lady waits Where water falls She lays in state To answer prayers For those who make And bring her flowers For her to take. A place of miracles For those who come To bare her witness For what she's done For this be sure She is the ONE To be found On The Dundee's Run.... The Way Muge-The Muse I asked God to show me the true And just as fast, there stood you! You are the Pearl in a thousand shells The Lilly In The Valley, the Flower's smells. You are the reason, the reason why God gave us tears so they could cry When such beauty blinds the eye And gives love wings so it can fly. You are the Muge you are its Ray That brings to light that shows the WAY As proof it was, as on this day As is your name, now here; to, stay. When She Lies Still When all the songs are sung And there's nothing more to say. When all the days are done And all has blown away. She will move into the STILL Forever there to stay And bring with her the starry night And there forever lay. The Galaxies will bow to her When illusion has no form To take from her the light she gives Those jewels that she adorns. For desire completes itself in her, No need to be reborn And yet fulfill in conscious BLISS The flame of night; she mourns.... The Last Act The Bell rang at four in the morning. You're probably asking "What Bell?" It's a Bell you can't describe. It just happens. What I can say, is its image held in my mind, and the desire for it was throughout my body, fixing itself for a long stay. At this point all I could do is feel, it was an internal bleeding that wouldn't stop. And that's right, I didn't want it to. It had been a long time coming, a lifetime some might say. This longing...this spell is the ultimate distraction, and to ride its wave heightens senses yet to be tried. But isn't that what I really want something not tried; the unknown....Of course it is. Who knows where it might lead. But that's the point isn't it? Now, who knows what ignites that fire. Is it chemistry, destiny, fate; or just a happening without intent. As that which does in the chaos. It's like the wind that comes and goes touching this and that to react. Now, the Bell wasn't just any Bell. It is a Sun Burst with a rainbow of appearances, no two the same. It is the ultimate tease. Through it's small entrance bigger things await. For which ecstasy can only bow. Most when drawn to it can't handle the light that emanates. It's a fear of being swallowed up. Like entering an unfamiliar dark room within oneself, where truth decides fact from fiction. What is left for the light is apprehension, leaving one entrenched in sorrows companions despair, and disbelief. But I, riding the wave of sin, looking in...ah, I am there in this sun burst of colors a kaleidoscope saturating the driest of leaves to life! It's the Mona Lisa's smile, Peter Pans bride, waiting to be unlocked from, from inside. Waiting to be seen, to be explored. To feel the ripple of love that waits to be freed. It's like dew that rises, and is carried away. As the morning mist will mating with and joining other clouds of light, becoming ONE. As I write this the Bell goes off again under my skin with this feeling I don't want to end....Anyway, it is Paulo's Brida, the soul's mate. See it is the weaver behind the thread. The designer of dreams we are fed. Wearing me, as I am wearing it. A living fabric dyed in love, soaked in desire, dried in air and the heat of the alone. It is the last act in a Shakespeare play. There isn't another, it is the space between the weave when all is said and done. It is the swirl in a cup cake, one that decorates making the rivers to run. Like the blood that flows through this heart of mine, and the body that I know I am to love, because, The Bell still rings, in this; the last act..... Mariah I Want To Sing Adding love to the world Is not a bad thing. So your name mariah I want to sing. It's like freedom its bell Whenever we ring Its sound is carried In everything. Mariah Mariah Your dance it waits Because of you When chance you take To let that love In you to wake When night you dance The light will make. For in your smile As in your eyes The power of love Does hypnotize And will the world For those with ties Bring to life Inside what lies. And so it is we add our love To this world we are part of And that because It's not a bad thing So, Mariah Mariah I want to sing..... Twice A first comes but only once But twice means something more. Distance may separate But not THAT THOUGHT That's straight away to the heart That waits. And the day comes facing yesterday As THAT love turns footsteps around Like a beam of light homeward bound For the two heart's, when love was found. Because, a first comes but only once But twice remains where once it was; Forever..... For love is like connecting flights Until we arrive. Because, there's nothing To expect. It's like a dream that knows To hold on. "For twice will come she said, It just will. You will see".... To Wake The Wind I climb to where the wolves will meet That mate for life that both do seek To find themselves and be complete And from new heights build their retreat. And there to look without a face All the senses to erase Just with eye to replace Connecting all and where all waits. Like Brigid seen in eye through mind As fresh today as written rhyme That power in us to define As patience key she said to find. And when one does they enter in That place where only few have been To share as wolves will in their den To be as one forever when And howl together to Wake The Wind.. Anna's Refrain Her breasts full as her nipples that feed This life. Her lips ripe, ready for what has been Missing. Her legs leading to heaven's gate, Where hope is still there waiting. Her eyes hold her flaming soul Reaching into forever. Her face like wax before it dries Has nothing to hide, it's there Whether day or night fixed, As a moon's pigment teasing tides. Her fingers stretch like silken threads Touching a piano's keys, as her heart Tells mind to sing her song"Not To Tame" Because that's her refrain, Anna's refrain, "Not To Tame". Digging Deep I'm digging deep because of where I've been. I'm looking now remembering when. Trying to see and not pretend, Not looking out but looking in. Yes I'm seeing things that's where I'm at, I made it through hell and back, and so it is And that's a fact, so here I am Looking back. I was a Texas dancer in a Texas club. I had the looks and a body to love. I made men happy gave them a dream, But through the years I got lost between. So I'm digging deep because of what I've seen And I want what I gave , If you know what I mean. So I'm digging deep because of where I've been I'm looking now remembering when See I'm looking for love, the true kind I'm looking for what, I know is mine And so it is I'm here to find Before my dream runs out of time... I'm digging deep because of where I've been. I'm looking now remembering when. Trying to see and not pretend, Not looking out but looking in. Yes I'm seeing things that's where I'm at, I made it through hell and back, and so it is And that's a fact, so here I am Looking back... The Crossing A solitude on sidewalks Betwwen buildings that Cluster the housed. Ambition is left to the west With its noise that leads to Empty lives echoing their Selfish motives and pride. I sit with this ache of love With its lack of patience Displaced, waiting to cross The street, with Anna. It Is You It is the voice it is the eyes It is the quiet between the sighs It is the smell it is the taste It is the time not to waste. It is the juice it is the tease It is the feeling that is pleased It is the heart it is the soul It is the kiss that won't let go. It is the dream the one between It is the crease that makes the seam It is love it is true and all because, It is; YOU..... Just because Of Love And the angels sang their sweetest song...for love. And the wind caught their white flames from wings set above. And a field below lit the sky from silver sparks the angels cried Because this love the angels knew was one that wouldn't die And all because of you and I. See, your name was written in the heart by God who gave This world its spark for love to be and one to see. Like a rose that has no place to go....will. Lashes Lashes, like a black widowed spider's threads Fanning eyes where a night of fire lights day. Lashes, like thin vines spilling over a flowers pot Such as the earth it grows in. Lashes, weighting lids as hearts that hold them Like a sleepless night will. Lashes, their fingers cast invisable shadows Leaving their mark forever, daunting, and wanting. The Prize...Love Sincere With warm love a moment.... Its quiet felt like a flame on a candle Entering the deep and the room we share And felt by an eternal night where waves Of warm wonder escape into the unknown Softly, humbly, lovingly. Wrapping itself around What is real....the prize of Love; Sincere.... Angels When Angels shake their wings A winter wonderland they bring.... Desire And Form....Patience And Time Dear Anna Thank you for teaching me things i already profess. Like patience and time. Before I left Germany I eluded to desire and form and their relationship. You seem to already have a handle on them. When we first met five years ago, your desire and mine was strong, magical. And that, so another form could be born (Eva), that new form and desire have an important relationship throughout their life. Like ours. Desire tells form it needs to eat when form is full, we never seem to thank or acknowledge desire for its roll, that is ensuring our survival.....Like this time we were together the sexual desire was for the most part absent...why? Like you said it wasn't there and didn't know why. But you also said profoundly, we have time. Now my form didn't want to hear that (Ego) and there in lies the problem. That is when form takes over desires job, and that follows the same for all our senses. (Regarding the senses it's easy to start thinking all these relationships through) So when form takes over desires job the real love in the relationship gets distorted and that is where patience needs to comes in. Which I am as you well know being taught. It's like being full and form says keep eating. It's a false desire that form creates not trusting that the real desire knows when and what we really need. It's a false fear of going without like the sexual thing form says prove your love to me providing its ego, again because form has taken over, and distorts the real love that doesn't have to be proved in that way,,,, So again as you already know all things will come around for when we let form take over desires job giving in then we just become empty and unsatisfied. This I do know...This you practice...Because when form takes over, It just wants more and more and more, and out of control with nothing being sacred and special or real. Like the love I feel right now, that is....You were right we were not going to watch a movie together. You were nurturing me as I hope I was nurturing you, and for that there in no substitute. Because desire and form were in balance.....united.... Having said all that my desire and form are telling me they want YOU....ha ha....With Love Sincere...Daniel xxxx STAY FREE! I also know it will be without me....Because Having realized all this about desire and form, there is still more....Like you said it was really necessary for me to come there, and it was... I am glad to be back with my way of life because it too is free... .I know from the actions that took place when you put your friend before me after i had put you before my best friend that last day, that you were trying to make it clear that as you said didn't want a relationship with me,that was pretty obvious, but i just didn't want to believe it...Now I do and that's ok....I really felt left out and I was. If the love was still there on your part it would have been different and I would still be there.... because nothing would have stopped it.... But as i have written "When the honey's gone it's time to move on".... I don't think I would ever come back to Germany and put myself in such a position. I was there to hang out with you and connect with Eva...But fate had something else in mind We will have to see what that will be....But I have no illusions as to our relationship...If things changed for me financially i might consider being there time to time for Eva's sake....I really wish you well and happiness and success....You are a great mom!....Good luck.... Love's Lie The night sky calls to me To things of which I cannot see Underneath this canopy Where love's lie pretends to be While some will call it destiny Holding hands with liberty. But like this sky black as ink There is no place where Thoughts can think Or rest itself in stars above Connecting with the distance of Instead there's just this emptiness That has no place or street address Just the dark of night in sky Empty as this love; with lies.... I know....I know.... I know....I know.... It was the softness of your kiss It was the one that I had missed I know....I know.... It was the way you held me tight It was that hug that felt just right I Know....I know.... It was my heart when it did sing With abandon it did bring I know....I know.... It was that smile in your eyes And those feelings with its ties I know....I know.... And if there was any doubt Well today I want to shout I know....I know.... Because this love it is true And all because of you I know....I know.... You And The Moon And Me You and the moon and me Together they make three And with the star above There's a sign of love In the heavens that I can see. It's a night in the middle And a shadow's take Like musical notes From a spirit that wakes You and the moon and me. I see us there In this ink black sky I see us there From the heart its eye I see us there Forever and free You and the moon and me! I Called The Hour Jealousy I called the hour jealousy For love you made Was one to be For through the window I could see And wonderd why It was not me.... Freedom has a place in hell To those who stand outside I tell To feel the lose of love its spell Waiting in the hallway of Just looking through the window... Where sounds of pleasure I could hear, oh so close Oh so near, naked bodies Free from fear, while looking on With frozen tear, I called the hour Jealousy.... The Dance You take me there....with your dance You take me there....in your glance You take me there....to my home You take me there....with love; you own. Now riding the wave cresting and falling Testing and teasing with snake like charm Sparks exploding holding each moment Taunting the boundaries patience and pride Feeling the pulse, your dance provides. And so it is, as wings unfolding Expressing itself as Falcons with ties Holding their heads up, looking towards forward Breaking each boundary, the higher they fly As you; and I... The Dance Of Two Falcons You take me there....with your dance You take me there....in your glance You take me there....to my home You take me there....with love; you own. Now riding the wave cresting and falling Testing and teasing with snake like charm Sparks exploding holding each moment Taunting the boundaries patience and pride Feeling the pulse, your dance provides. And so it is, as wings unfolding Expressing itself as Falcons with ties Holding their heads up, looking towards forward Breaking each boundary, the higher they fly Becoming as ONE, As you; and I... The Whole Damn Sky You helped me forget what I'd been through You helped me to see things brand new. You took my past and set it aside You took that place where I was tried And gave me new wings so I can vie. And I dance and I sing and my body I bring Feeling alive it's my offering with a new sense of pride I held inside, from a heart that was torn and pushed aside. But now I am back with my love that survived, Because I can feel it again for you and I Without the lie, just a wiser Eye, and; The whole Damn Sky, Where Falcons.... Fly. Your Eyes Your eyes fill this soul with light And face that sees and haunts with sight With mystery that takes the night Making helpless for want it might. And there within its fiery core Its embers still with love endures Till that which knows with wait implores Till one that will unlock its doors To enter in as none before with love these Eyes, were looking for.... Her Golden Light Her body divine, a tree, a tabernacle of golden light Her middle as smooth as the legs she stands on Her breasts speak their song of night As does the eyes, and lips full, soft in her hour That's ripe. Her hands send shadows scrambling; anointed, Like the shoulders and arms that hold them From chin to neck to cheek, that I, this purveyor Of truth does seek, and that her body perfect; Completes. No Time At All I want to be your lover 'Cause I want it to feel the same I want it to be like no other With a love that can never be tamed. You and I, you and I, you and I. Our thoughts will rest with the angels Someplace that is adrift Floating in someplace that's no where Like love when experiencing it. "Cause there's no time for falling and crawling No time no time to fall, 'cause our time will be time When calling, not wasting our time building walls Just this love that has no time; at all.... Peace Not Triumph Peace not triumph Words thrown in the air Like weapons when Disengaged. Peace not triumph Words more powerful Than nuclear rain seeding Earth. Peace not triumph Words that lift a swollen river To find the sea. Peace not triumph Words that catch heated rays On a summer's day Where peace it stays As triumph slips, slips Away.... Butterflies Never Tell No Lies ( Butterflies never tell no lies They kiss the air paint the skies. Reminding us when in doubt, Change is what comes about Bringing what is inside out. Now because Butterflies never tell no lies They're here for us to see those ties Just as love when in our eyes Brings together you and I So we can fly to kiss the air And paint the skies. Because Butterflies never tell no lies.) And even when just for love I feel, To feel its loss, feel the shame. I feel its death miss-understood Trying hard if love it could...survive, Be real. We strive for it, so it can be Instead there's only what one sees, jealously. For in the end, love doesn't win but generations Will just pretend, again-again. For life (THIS) separates as this does illustrate.. No matter how love it may, here the earth Is love's own grave that someone else will Try to save, while goodbye get's the last wave. Because Butterflies never tell no lies...NEVER... Face of the Flower Your face emerges From the center of the flower Like a Modigliani painting. He saw you there Stretching your neck Looking around with surprise. He held its shape For one brief moment Seeing it through your eyes. And so it is These words I paint Seeing; it never Dies..... Spring Young buds peaking out Saying hello to spring! Streams flowing excited to be Hello they also sing! Birds chirping, eyes lurking They are, in everything! So this heart that once more starts Ready for what; they bring! There are times. Lost in time There are times Nothing pressing On the mind There are times. Feeling full Feeling empty Feeling life Feeling plenty There are times. Life takes Life gives Life does Life is There are times. Dreams come Dreams go Keeping time With the flow Wishing for Something so There are times. And there are times You just go Without time Where truth Does know, There are times. There are times.... Standing Alone There it stands alone mixed in thoughts and images Absorbing, filtering, refining. It is a night without ending, reaching out into What is carried over. It is the ultimate dessert not to be finished For buds to expand for their next catch. As one that slowly breathes inhaling the scent of a love Never to be forgotten, though somewhere put away. It is the dye that never stops secreting beneath its fleshy skin Breaching its defenses ecolyptic, spreading itself as a moon's Beam across an enchanted lagoon will, waiting to explore tomorrow What the night had clearly shown, while cheating death One more time inhaling its perfume. And as a poet did express, "To ride the wave that never breaks...till home" Where it has always stood; alone. I Know, I know And the Angels sat around you Using human forms They knew the heartache That you felt And the death that You now mourn. They knew your deep compassion From a love that was just torn And felt the need to be with you With that love you lost now gone. But I was there with them that day To say to you it was okay And though my body couldn't stay I would not be far away. I know I know I know How hard you tried to come But sometimes things just happen When all is said and done. And yes those Angels were letting you know In tears that you now cry. That I will always love you And be there by your side. You are my special daughter You always made me proud I bragged about you always With love I let out loud.... Now be at peace with feelings Feelings they mean life Enjoy the gift that God gave you Just be your shinning light.. And know that light is with you, As I am right now, And will be there forever I know, love taught me how, I know, I know..... Lost In This Ecstasy Of Love Lost in this ecstasy of love I can feel it just because I am sitting here in its hue Feeling the meaning of reality dreaming 'Cause I know what I'm feeling is true. Rain is now falling but this love Keeps on calling and there's nothing I need to do, 'cause I know I'm awake And there's nothing to shake This feeling I have running through. The mist it is rising from clouds That were hiding that I can finally see Feeling the meaning of reality dreaming Sitting here letting it be. It's simple it's quiet there's nothing to hide it No words that need be said, just a smile that knows it And eyes that show it and that feeling of love Where I sit. Love is the ecstasy because of what's next to me And nothing can hide the true, feeling the meaning Of reality dreaming, and all because I'm here; With YOU..... The Solstice Of Summer You and I are one now Butterfly As you stand on my toe eating off my flesh As is Stanislova as we read her poetry Here in a sea of wild flowers and black flies Eating off us while my clothes dry Laying on the grass and birds sing to our soul Where we sit; vulnerable. And the music plays as wit of wind Surrounding everything that is within Sheltering that which now begins As will this poem from where it's been. And the waiting is well the worth For travel it does to far off places When remaining still, listening, and watching; Just being. Twelve year old Maggie Murphy knows She told me so in her poem About clouds and mountains she saw behind, And those many distant places That are never very far away As this, now, the solstice of summer.... Her Blanket She used my poetry As one would a blanket To cover her naked body. Her dreams were full of my words Keeping her warm alive and in love While getting her through Many winters. But then a colder night came, Also in words turning the poetry Into a fictional footnote, and this Because those words ate her blanket Like a moth to sensitive wool. Like a cancer selfish to survive. But then a kiss was sent with good thoughts Turning another page returning her to A warmer place and time and the poetry That mends because it is the ultimate reality That covers the naked, and will, when truth Was; its thread...... The Mulkern's Shannon door Dancers The Mulkern's Shannon door Dancers Making us proud. Their dance was like a song That sings itself. Like notes rising from The ashes. And they danced And you knew they Were FREE From a past Whatever would be. And they twirled And at times they would Spin, and they'd shake Whatever within. And their smiles They lit up the place, Knowing very well What they faced. But the dance It kept them alive. For you know They both had survived. And with dignity The dance they drew On a pride because They grew. For their dance Was more than true Their dance was for Me; and you..... ( The Shannon Door Ladies Catching every breath Waitresses extraordinaire Single Moms at their best Rushing to the dance floor To dance their favorite song Making us so very proud To know we all belong, And; to carry on.) Savoring Drops Young leaves stick out Their tongues Lapping up drops Of rain. Gray skies sundown Hides The day I lap As it wanes. That hug- Oh that hug She gave, with love She didn't conceal Connecting something Held inside That love You know is real. And then she left With a wave goodbye I didn't even know Her name But she knows mine And I'm easy to find Leaving me with That flame. Sipping and lapping Waiting and wanting With a thirst for that Which came. Now savoring drops Filling that spot With love that seeps Through my veins Where again it still; Remains.... Look Around Look around, you're not alone With what you've done Or what's been done to you. Look around, your neighbors Are the same dealing with Things the way we do. This is life, rubbing each Reaching out, reaching in Whether poor, whether rich Having less, having more. It doesn't matter, having fame Or nor. look around, listen To a song, or poem. Those Moving on, faces of pain Makes us proud to be one Of them. Sensitive fragile Yet strong. This is life the way it is Not the way you'd like it As does everyone else Thinking we know the way. Look around, we are one With what we did, or what's been done. I have more holes in me than Swiss cheese I look around and know I'm not alone. Some make it, some don't Moments change, times won't. Mothers fathers sons daughters Sisters brothers, all's fodder.. It's a perfect world that seems insane Like it or not, it's God's game (And what can you do about that..ha ha.) Ego's flare, a distant star. Not knowing Where we are. Or, who it is that holds The strings, until that time that love Brings to That eye that sees all things To look around and see we're not alone, With things done or things owned. Life is about sharing all its experiences Together, till the egg cracks, being the heroes That we are, trying to break through. All we need do is Look around It's all there these things We share, as we hurdle through space Thinking that we're not moving And alone....Look around..... Sadie OH Sadie There's a lass, and her name is Sadie And I wish that she was my lady (Chorus) But I'm older than her, still my heart It just purrs, and I know she's driving Me crazy. I'd love to ask her out, but my head Just fills with doubt, that she'd just Say no, and be pissed if so, so I hide These feelings that shout. I love you I love you I love you This mystery knows the why My head its thoughts are filled With you, but I hold back because Of my pride. Don't want to embarrass you now Red in the face that I am. But I'm Feeling a love that is killing me, And it's something I never had planned. (Chorus) Sadie Sadie oh Sadie, how can I let you Know? I get lost for words when I Talk to you, dragged down by love's Undertow. Now I caught you looking at me, And I wonder just what you see. I don't see a smile just a look That is wild and I wonder just What it could be? You probably think I'm a fool (I'm not) If so that's up to you. Just telling you how I'm feeling, And to you and myself be true. (Chorus) Don't know how long I'll be living But surely that day will pass, But I'd love to pass this time With you, I'd love you to be my Lass. Now you might feel each line I've Written, and surely see how I am Smitten, or better a place we know As just fate, where many a man has Been bitten. Yes I felt these feelings many times Before, what else can this life be for Than to touch someone from love inside That keeps us going and feeling alive. And here I am once again, feeling These feelings I have within Letting them out to ride the wind Enjoying the love no matter the end. So here it is each breath I pant, With words that say when with you I can't. And hope they don't offend With these feelings for you I'll be Saying again. (chorus) Poet Put a poet in a room And the room becomes; A Poem. Not knowing Not knowing Where I'm going Not knowing Anything. Not knowing What is showing Or what the day will Bring. Not knowing Like this flowing If it has meaning. Only know not knowing Life keeps; happening. I Hear The Screams I hear the screams In the remains Coming out of buried Bones. I hear the screams From petro glyphs Out of caves like My own. I hear the screams From a child born Feeling they knew Something was wrong. I hear the screams From the ocean floor Where life its blood Its oil pours. I hear the scream From my tired soul Where values were Divinely stored. I hear the screams From the standing owl Through the night. And then I hear them Once again with new Light. I hear the scream From the inner child The lion grips. I hear it from the Sidewalk crowds With looks that Tip. I hear the screams Though not in sound Screaming helpless All around, I hear; the SCREAMS..... Mushrooms Where mushrooms sit I long to be For this I know is Destiny. There where ancient Gods have sat Where they suckled Born of THAT. THAT which carries With her still And mouths are fed With life its will. For there they sit Upon her chest Where milk does flow And we ingest That place where Natures vows were set When God and Goddess They first met.... Open Spaces Far away into the night I go Where dreams don't know. Far away into that eternal flight That place where a smile fills My soul. Away from yesterdays And rivers backwards flow. Here bodies float with flowing silk sails Faces pressed against the unknown A weightless sailor free to roam Through open spaces, while heading; Home.... The Unicorn With The Golden Horn Once upon a time, which could, or not, be a long time ago. A little unicorn with a golden horn was born in a magical forest. It was born with soooo much love to give, and all it wanted back was to be loved in the same way. This little unicorn with the golden horn lived in a pink cloth bag made by the fairy mother of that forest, for she knew how special this unicorn was, and this special bag made from magical cloth would protect this unicorn when necessary. Now, the first memory for the little unicorn with the golden horn after leaving the magical forest where it was born, was being in a store front window where people passed it by every day. But even though most people looked no one seemed interested. So the little unicorn with the golden horn let a tear drop from its eyes. Then one day a little girl asked her mother for the little unicorn with the golden horn. This made the little unicorn with the golden horn so happy... When the girl brought it home she zipped up the bag with the little unicorn with the golden horn inside, and there it stayed in total darkness where it was thrown along with all the other things this girl had. Then one day the mother, because of all the stuff the little girl had in her room, and because there was no more room to move around, and because of her own stuffed house, decided to have a yard sale, and because nothing was really special for that little girl because of all her things, the unicorn wouldn't be missed, because it didn't mean anything to her. So the unicorn with the golden horn ended up in this huge pile for the yard sale. But by the end of the day no one bought the little unicorn with the golden horn and so the mother threw it in the trash heap along with some other things that didn't sell. When the rubbish truck came the next day somehow it fell out and landed in the gutter where it stayed for several days. Then a dog came along and picked it up and closed its sharp teeth around the cloth bag with the little unicorn with the golden horn inside waiting in darkness. The dog just started to shake the bag trying to get it open, and this made the little unicorn with the golden horn really sick with dizziness. After awhile the dog gave up and left it under a bush near a field. Well, a crow circling above saw this pink cloth bag and swooped down picked up the bag and carried it away. The little unicorn with the golden horn inside felt itself being raised higher and higher, and then again being brought back down and that is when it experienced the butterflies in its unicorn belly, much like the ones it feels because of so much love it has to give, until finally back on the ground. The little unicorn with the golden horn felt its magical bag being pecked at, but like the dog the crow gave up trying to get inside and flew away. Soon it started to rain and the little unicorn with the golden horn felt damp and cold. A few days went by when it started to feel warm again. The sun had come out and the rain had washed the pink bag shiny and clean. A woman passing by noticed the pink cloth bag and picked it up and unzipped the bag and for the first time in a long time the little unicorn with the golden horn could breath and smell the clean fresh air. This lady was so surprised that she found such a special gift that she took it with her because she had to go shopping. But after she shopped she looked for the pink bag with the little unicorn inside but it was gone, and because she had stopped at so many stores she just forgot about it. Well the store where she did lose it was a specialty shop, and it was no accident that the little unicorn with the golden horn would end up there, because the woman who owned the shop found it later in the day when cleaning up. And just then a man walked into the store who she knew was making a trip very far away across the ocean and had been looking for a special gift for this little four year old girl he was going to visit, and so she gave it to him. And when he saw the little unicorn with the golden horn he knew this was just the right gift for her. He packed it away and when he was able to give this pink bag with the little unicorn with the golden horn to that little girl he watched her unzip the bag and seeing her eyes light up with so much love he knew that this little unicorn with the golden horn was finally home where it belonged, because now they never leave each others side, and because the little unicorn found and received the love it wanted, and the one to give all its special love too, never had to cry again.... And yes both are still happy together and will be; forever...The end.... And That's Just Fine I don't have money, but I do have time And time is something that I knows all mine. I don't have things to way me down But what I do have is some peace of mind. And that's just fine, and that's just fine. Now some days it rains some days it pours Some days I don't have a place indoors. Some days I'm freezing some days I'm hot Some days the wind blows some days it's not. And that's just fine and that's just fine. It's me and my candle sitting in my van A very dark night but my candle stands. A solemn quiet, a peace prevails Sitting in my van, still my sails. Just me and my candle flickering light And it's all right, it's all right. Now I don't have money to buy me love But the love I get is real because It's a love for me for what I got And love that's real is one not bought. And what I have I know is mine And that's just fine, and that's just fine. Now some people help me along the way And I try to give back in words I say And most people are really so kind And the heart still rules is what I find. 'Cause time's still mine, and that's just fine. Like now I'm feeling this love for you You're on my mind, you're on my mind. And that's just fine, and that's just fine 'Cause I know we all have still got time.... And that's just fine, and that's just fine. FREEDOM You gave me the first kiss (Innocent) and the trees surrounding us were pleased, they laughed and danced. And the earth we spread on each others face marking us forever to that other place. And the breath we gave as those did take feeling the oneness when ego's erased. An aura of indigo held its glow with love from another that made it just so, And with sacred water our faces touched while looking at hands their wonder, with nothing planned so ecstasies rush. Cards we read guiding us to seeing what mountains we needed to view. Teasing THIS Wolf waiting it's true. And later the Wolf seen from inside of you. For the Wolf is loyal to what it must do. God and Goddess and a cats tale reminding us both we need not fail, to have the courage to dance in the dark, bringing our light that will create the spark. For love is in the still in the city of the mind, there as it was, and will be to find. It's beyond forever, it just IS. In the silence of being this dreamer was filled. For I looked in the mirror and saw my true self. It was one with wisdom, compassion, no doubt. And again my reflection it came back from you, seeing myself in the other I knew. The dreamer woke never to sleep. Conscious of being at one now to keep, in silence that frees the moment to be, real, alive, and able to see. And the Spirit spoke: " I call you love, because you are! No matter what, you have been told. I call you love no matter young, nor be...old. I call you love divine and true. I call you love because I'm told. Love is there inside to hold, it is YOUR Gold". Wherever we go we bring colors we show, no matter if winter or spring. Gracing the air and everything there so special are we that bring a movement in mass with waves of love, rippling, carried by wind in its task. WE are the topsoil feeding the seeds with love that will begin the end, that love will defend. And this will grow to what always was ending the dream that did descend. So why fear? Not wanting to feel the hurt by letting someone in totally? Your heart has been broken in the past, so the walls. But being human is like that. And that is being alive. To feel! We have an unknown potential waiting. We just need to be together, love together, to have it unfold, to open. I AM, as you ARE. We both know this..... The Wake: There is a coffin waiting for us all. Like this woman I saw with painted lips, so beautiful. She looked as if she lie asleep at peace, there now in another place. As if having a wonderful dream. Others were crying for her and themselves, caught in this reality where chaos and grief dance the pain, wishing IT would sleep. She disposed to move along, her lips glistening like paint might before it dries will, and in time will peal, as hearts do now that feel. You sank your hand through my chest, into my heart. Now my heart is in your hands, the two that beat the same. Like you born in 93, you felt my pain and came. Tania never sleeps, and patience has her name, and freedom is yours and mine when without the shame WE ARE! And the bear lies there upon her chest protecting her in its quest. To keep the love its flow, no matter the test, till that bridge is crossed, as the mountain's peak, And the Wolves together, will rest..... Sand To Sand Passing sand from hand to hand Palms open as two hearts can. Pleasing senses one of love Sand to sand still is that was. Feeling the burn fall colors leave Floating the river towards the sea Feeling the other inside of me Feeling the real not what could be. A Blue Herring flying by Waving wings one with sky Feeling love feeling high Seeing love that is; the I. Geese passing over head hearing wings Like leather that slips, slips between Two holding hands where moments before Passed sand to sand. A moon near full rises slow Seeing things in the flow Not believing if love is so Being here one just knows. This, carried by a stronger fate Sealed with being both awake To see all things in a higher state Like passing through a long locked gate. And there scripted by an artist drew Words that share what we felt too There in sand what was the true Simply put....I LOVE YOU..... With Love You are Eve Calf Woman's Seed. You are the Goddess Green Eyed Conceived. You are the heart You are the pure You are the Love All look for. You are the Wolf Your eyes are keen You share two worlds You go between. You look from high The mountain top You see all things It is your spot. And just as I Who knows these things, It is with love This earth we bring. And though a veil Tries separate To cast a doubt To penetrate, The will of ONE Make no mistake Will get us through That once locked gate Where PATIENCE waits, WITH; LOVE...
