No words needed
nothing to be said
it's deep in our soul
known in our head

It's still nice to say
what I feel for you
you already know
I deeply, truly love you
Hans Peter Mar 2021
I went to see a guru
life seemed to be too much
he asked what the matter was
I told him such and such
told him about the woman I love
already he seemed to know
told him what I expected
and he said, "Let it go!"

Let it go? I asked
but I want things to go my way
doesn't matter what you want
you'll just chase her away

but I want...
Let it go
but I need....
let it go
but she don't...
let it go
but I'd love....
let it go

He kept on interrupting
before I could even finish
like the values of my desires
he was trying to diminish
Let me tell you something, he said
I hope it's not too deep
The more that you let go
the more you get to keep
Hans Peter Mar 2021
The morning bird
a tune it sings
from my heart 
a joy it brings

but the words
lost in my soul
deep in my chest
they fill a hole

still this tune
I sing as well
my love for her
on that I dwell
Hans Peter Mar 2021
Love is not the words I say
Love is not the poems I write 
Love is what I do day after day

No matter how many "I love you's" I say
Words without actions are just words 
Love is what I do day after day

Love is not how much I spend
Love is not the gifts I give
Love can’t be bought or given away
Love is what I do day after day

It's the little things, 
the stuff not noticed,
things done just because,
That’s how my love is manifested 
Day after day
Hans Peter Mar 2021
I'm up before the sun
up before everyone
I sit in the stillness
the morning's chillness
then I quiet my mind

like an energetic child
my mind is running wild
I bring it back to center
a calmness state to enter
and inner peace to find

Some use a mantra phrase
others at a dot they gaze
some invoke a Holy Being
for me it's you I'm seeing
and my world responds in kind
Hans Peter Mar 2021
I would die for your forgiveness
I would die for a smile
I would die for a kind word
I would die for your touch
I would die for your time
I would die for a reply
Yet... it's what I live for
Hans Peter Mar 2021
I fell in love with you
it wasn't by design 
nothing much I could do
the stars were all aligned
your eyes smiled at my heart
my heart went to pursue it
then I tried to use my charm
and I almost blew it
