You are a heart stopper
suspended animation
love out of this world.
Able, more than willing
too wonderful for words.
Let my silence tell of you
sing forever of joy.
And let this joy be yours.
Amen.

A hollow grows in my heart.

helpless, I watch
this cavern empty its once warm
elixir,
cool like coal
on a bed of dying embers.

Trepidation surges,
upending my
quiet comfort
while voices whisper

"this safety on the razor's edge
is an illusion
and must be returned
to the debt ridden sea"

slowly the mist settles,
revealing the great divide.

I hold my breath
and  go under
Lost at sea
006
Sometimes I sit and wonder why
no matter what I do
I'll be the thing I most despise
I'll end up just like you
My father was always the perfect example of what NOT to do when I was growing  up.

the Universe makes room
nay, gets a special place ready
for the birth of your poem.
it will be heard where needs
must, and must be sung,
as surely as the Universe
is not whole without it.

the gateway of your heart swings both ways
it could be full of old junk
or a freedom seldom found
a freely given love freely received freely lived
the eternal plane, the place a loving heart calls home.

concentration is a flux, hard to hold like mercury
slips through the mind and disappears somewhere
deep. Takes on a life of its own, concentrates in
a daydream, a universal story of love and hate.
The why and wherefore of our race, apes that are
finger painting walls, learning to write, painting
pictures with words, trying to understand and to
be understood, to stop wars, hold up love in a chalice,
bitter and sweet, make peace happen, everywhere at
once, without exception, change war mongering into
love, even one inch, one millimetre, one fleeting moment.
