I felt his presence...before recognition dawned.
  A slight unease spread through my body
      A chill breeze blew through the room
          raising goosebumps on my skin.
                             And fear..no...
                             ....TERROR....
                        c a m e  c a l l i n g
I knew him then, realizing that THIS night
                   he had not come for ME.
        He had merely called to pay his respects:
              To show me I need not fear him.
                   He was an honored guest.
         I realized then, that the fear had no basis,
                       I felt his love for me.
                        When he visits us,
            it is the ones who are well taught
                       who welcome him,
            who greet him as each day dawns
        
                             Without fear

                             Om Tat Sat

When you entered the room
Instead of your usual warmth
The fire in your heart had turned to embers
And only the cold entered with you.

With a grimace
you threw a wave in my direction;
then turned your back to me
and entered the block of ice that you brought with you.

You have withdrawn,
You are unreachable...to ME.
And I ask myself...FOREVER?

While I watch and wait
I think only good thoughts of you;
I Wish You Love.

As I lay down to sleep,
   I feel your head  
as it begins settling
  against my knee.

Your body snuggles closer..
    and closer to my leg.

          As you relax,
     You become lighter
           and lighter.
.
    We begin to float
    Together...Gently
     Into our dreams

     Safe----Together

like a fish out of water
walking backwards upstream
grand illusion of compliance
buying nothing sight unseen

respecting their essence
detached from their path
connected in spirit
repelled by all wrath

norms without ethics
morality sans love
passion ever searching
a need to rise above

heart sinking hatred
mind numbing neglect
mountain moving greed
rarely circumspect

not infrequently i ponder
how my being was unfurled
wondering deeply in my soul
if i belong to another world

i say yes
because
i don't
have
anything
to
lose.

i say no
because
i don't
want to
lose
everything.
