insulated silence
snowflakes big as your hand
falling soft at dawn

The question has always been why
Why this?
Why you?
Why now?
The answer has been more difficult to name
Yet love makes its own way
To those who least expect it
In the time that can only be now
You are unexpected
A most joyous surprise
I didn't see you coming
Yet here we are~so close
My heart, my life
Will never be the same

Today Sol is slow
Faraway cold and dimmed
Winter's hold is strong

Listen to my words
Hear only what I say
Take this opportunity
To relax your mind
To rest your imagination
You might find strenth there
Where voice and words can
Again become meaningful.

Living a pipe dream
What hubris is this
To love you so
Imagining you long in my life
Deepest friendship
Sweetest lover
Ersatz partner
Foolishness in purest form
A precious fantasy
To grow old by your side
Together
And not
Content with half measures
Satisfied with self-imposed limits
My beautiful pipe dream

White brightness shines warm
Garden growing with each touch
Bathed in summer sun
Love nurtures gentle expansion
Warmth flows from your kind gaze

Breathe into my kiss
Let me taste the life of you
Let me hold you hard against my body
For I would feel the bone and flesh of you
Now touch me gently~here. And here.
That I might open all of me to your strength
Let us come to each other without words
Allowing breath and blood and pounding heart to speak of passion
While you hold my eyes with yours
Seeing into me as my tears whisper of love

Silk and Flannel

Warm and so soft

Against my delicate skin.

Sensuous silk

Arouse the fire gently

Set my skin ablaze with our slow passion

Comforting flannel

So easy you are

Keeping the ardor of our embrace

Silk and flannel

Odd and just

Mirrors the paradox of our desire

When I give up Resistance

Gentleness and Harmony

Flourish in me.

When I let go of Resentment

Contentment and Love

Take that space.

When I practice Kindness

A Soft Heart and Generosity

Become me.

When I Accept

Life just as it is

I am Empowered and able to

Participate Wholly in it.

I lost my soul within your kiss
I must return to find it
Hold it safe within
As you hold my body without
My heart has gone missing, too
Lost again in the tenderness of your caress
Locked skin to skin I fly unheeding
Grounded only by your warm breath

Look at me

Don’t look away

Across the room

Or a breath’s span

Our gaze connects

Fusing without words

Longing without greed

Wonder without fear

Love without demand

There are not enough tears in the world

For all the reasons  I cry today

Horrified tears of deepest sorrow

For lost children and the brokenhearted

Hopeless tears of futile anger

For helplessness and endless fear

Still, in all the painful sadness

Other tears fall unbidden

From the overflowing of my heart

Grateful tears of sweetest joy

For all the love surrounding me

Gentle tears of purest love

For those hearts I hold for safekeeping

There are not enough tears in the world

For all I must cry today.
