My words convey
loving feelings
from my heart
from my soul
via each
digital
keystroke
bridging
the space
between
screens
bringing
truths
in silence
to You.

Come My Love:
They say,
“We do not
choose love.”
They say,
“Love chooses us.”
Then who are
they to say:-
“We can’t
refuse love?”
So, let’s make
it: - Love.
Tobias

You took my heart
and harp-shaped it.
You play upon it
melodies of love.
All love’s secrets
You reveal to me.
I treasure them:
music in my soul.
I was all in pieces
You made me whole.
Your fingers play
upon me as You
hold me close
in both hands.
You soothe away all pain.
I trusted you with my heart
You helped me love again.

Tobias

Make space for those
fleeing social distress.
Be a link in a golden
unbreakable chain of
all-welcoming mercy.
Give gladly of yourself.
Receive in good grace.
Redistribute your gains.
Reinvest what you profit.

Care first for the weakest.
Assist in every way the
honourably  intended.
Generate hope by
imitating doers: those
motivators of good.
Keep an open mind.
Confound cynic’s doubts.
Generate kindness.

Heal all wounds with love.
Let peace and friendliness
radiate dissolving darkness.

TOBIAS

I have a dear friend
for some time:
her name is
Understanding.

Today she told me
it's time to enter
her inner sanctum.
I was anxious,
humbled, awe-filled.

At the doors
of her Cathedral
of Wisdom
I hesitated.

It was daunting,
the mystery, fear
of the unknown
overpowering me.  

An internal
struggle of whether
it might just be much
safer to remain in the
life to which I’m so
accustomed than
risk it all by having
certain comfortable
illusions dispensed with.

Understanding told me
that enter the temple I must,
because loving her is trust,
making  the decision inevitable.

TOBIAS

All is transient,
consumed by time.
Beloved - you I sought,
I found you in solitude.
Awareness: the search
for you was timeless.
Discovery:  was my
one remaining hope,
a single burning desire.
All that really
matters now is love

In all our time together
You have come to be
everything to me.
You are my best friend
and I'll always treasure
having  met you.
I mean every word
when now I say:
This world is full
of many people
but there is
only one of you:
one perfectly amazing
truly beautiful - You.

TOBIAS

There are times
that are so dark
you feel that
you have been
Buried.
But, for all you
know, you may
well have been
Planted.
Hope: a tender
gardener of your
life will give
you space to grow.
Will tear out
every clawing ****
cast all aside,
the rooted troubled
thoughts
of them you
had no need.
