When love surrenders to stillness commitment is there.
Our heart looks for love,
swirls in delight at its prospects.
It seems to become lost without ever being found.
However the deep seed of true contentment nestles within us all.
I search for this seed but perhaps only watering is needed. To discover that you are a reservoir flowing with everything.

Flapjacks

The first flapjack is complete.
My hope is that it is edible, that she won’t swallow painfully and then smile even more painfully afterwards.
She sits there calmly and patiently. The orange juice was fresh squeezed at least that’s what it said on the box.
I like the way she looks in the morning.
Before she’s made up, before [...]
Shooting Star

People say life goes quickly but I say it burns slow.
It seems to take time. Too much time to learn, to feel, to love.
To discover not who you are but who you are to become.
Yes these things take time. Faster would be better but slowness seems the way.
Being alone, life is slow. This is why [...]
Seagulls

Lightness follows daybreak
Seagulls wakening to the sea.
The salty smell of the ocean reminds me.
Who I am.
Barefoot sandprints I leave behind.
Lighter and lighter they become.
Soon I leave no imprint.
My light heart carried home.
Before Oceans

As we dance through time like wild minions rejoicing in the starlight.
I begin to feel a sense of settling within the soul atmosphere.
It feels like walking during rain tides on a summer’s eve when stars begin to sparkle like diamond nights.
If I sink deeply into your love like leaves settling into the forest
My stillness [...]
Top Hat

The dark brimmed top hat sits atop the lonely old man. The rain rolls down his face, the wrinkles under his eyes create river beds of sadness. Water rolls down his face, onto his coat and down to the street.
You would not know it but this man was a little boy [...]
Bones

It is not when she shines like a lighthouse through your body and soul.
Or when her smile causes your voice to tremble with tears of sadness.
It is not when her touch causes your heart to drop into your stomach,
through your hips, falling to the ground like a lost basketball.
Love is easy here.
It flows like a [...]
Favorite Singers Advice
Posted in Poetry on March 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Often singer’s sing about what was lost.
I wish they would sing about what hasn’t been.
Heartbreak cuts deeply but hope resides right below the surface.
Of course how many happy rock stars have you met? They are not exactly role models for marital bliss.
Yes it’s good to hear the pain and say “That’s me too”.
I relate to [...]
Tony Robbins Firewalker

At some level it seemed I had it all figured out, walking on the hot coals at that Tony Robbins training camp.
I can still feel the heat under my feet. I stayed on the coals longer than I should have. Most people dashed across the hot embers. But my attitude was if this really works [...]
Unshackled

I remember when you sought me out through those dark ages that dragged us down into the mud.
At that time you were my light, your eyes pinpricks that guided my soul to kindness and peace. I can still feel it in this dark prison.
The shackles are rusty now.
My beard is grey and the wrinkles [...]
