Close your eyes when we kiss,
Choose to die
when we touch lips
Resurrect our heavenly bodies
As we move out of eclipse
Live forever as guides
For all passing ships
Patron saints of bliss
Looking after lovers embarking
on all manners of trips

Hello
Salutations
Hola
Ahoy
Felicitations
Aloha
Welcome!
What’s up?
What’s the situation?
How you doing?
Hey there
What’s brewing?
Hiya
Haaaaaaayyyyyyy…..
Howdy
Good day!
A different greeting
with each heart beat
I leave you with only one farewell
The only good bye worthy
of our meeting
and subsequent chance to play
A sincere, cultivated, and lovely
expression of Namaste!
Christmas
The story of a world saved,
a man holding our hand
Guiding us with a new way of thinking
and a great sacrifice made
His love song began
With a star, sweet parents, wise men,
and salvation born on a manger’s floor
a great awakening unto man
a blossoming of consciousness like never before
a brighter light shone on God’s plan
He lived a life worthy of our praise
An example for you and I to follow
his encircling arms, and lasting embrace
a reminder that we are full, perfect, and not hollow
We are children of the sacred, armed with trust and light
The story of our life is whatever we make it
so let us give thanks and let our spirits take flight
with the transcendent joy in his story writ
a time spanning classic of love at first sight
Halcyon
I pour out
I fill up
All that is given is saved
Be still sweet cup
And, together, be raised
Go Big
Everything rhymes
rhyme everything
The physics are just waiting
For you to get with it,
Use this cosmic math
make something out of nothing
give form to this and all time
Don’t you see?
It’s all music!
Every sound ever heard
You can pick and peruse it.
This gift is yours
Even if you refuse it
Whatever song you want sung
Whatever needs to be done
Just do it
Swirl it up in gorgeous tornado
while you can still choose it
let them marvel at your influence.
Scatter the pieces of everything everywhere,
Show us that you really blew it
Make them wonder how they got through it
Then bring it all back to everything
A perfect rhyme so settling,
We just fade into it
Grace
Hold onto this now as if yesterday was just a dream and tomorrow, a construct, built by the quality of this embrace.
The medium of the art of living is a spectacular substance depending fully on your artful hand and heart to realize its most sacred space
Snapshot
The heart is sweet,
The body’s meat
Our manifestion, fleet
The you I choose to greet
Along with your image of me, competes
Using raw energy
To complete
the big picture we decide to keep
Blog Food
Pink is the color of her cheeks and nose.
Smeared with cotton candy snuck
by a toddler in slapdash thieves clothes
A bat man cape, dark footie pajamas and a mask on our poor puppy no less
I heard the crinkling plastic just shy of her escape
I traced her sticky handprints from the kitchen to the dining room drapes
The giggling curtain conjured memories of that wizard in oz
The mess was more like the HBO series in the prison of the same name
The window treatment came down in a whirl of pink pawed and thunderous applause
Revealing a sweet face and a shrill voice exclaimed “isn’t this a lovely game!!??!!”
Long Run
whatever I’ve done
whatever I may do
I will always come back to what’s true
and when the battle within me is won
I will return and make it up to you
Sleep
To all I meet,
let us kiss away lonely,
And give each other a gift
In a lovely promise to keep
of sweet dreams only
From the Gross to the Subtle
