Look outside the kitchen window,
my friend, you and your puppy too,
and you will see it scrumptiously
awaiting you... Reaching out to it,
your fingers will sink into such rich,
creamy sweetness... getting there
first, you can have the whole of it
all for yourself... and let your
puppy lick your fingers!

Write lines upon my heart
in pure white light
and I will read them
  
Taste the nectar
of unbounded
sincerity

Breathe in blossoming
warm compassion

Taste the nectar
of unbounded
sincerity

Touch the tender pool
of infinite white light
    
Breathe in blossoming
warm compassion

Taste the nectar
of unbounded
sincerity

Meet me in the air space
between your thoughts
For this is holy ground
With the greatest humility and gratitude, I wish to dedicate this poem tonight to all of you at HP who have shown such lovely support for this quiet poem, which emerged from my deepest inner awareness.
Above all, gratitude to my Teachers.

Do I know what you are thinking?
Perhaps....
But come into my kitchen,
and let's see if this other fragrance
makes your nose swoon....

Bright red little apples,
spooned with a sweet,
slightly spicy sauce
soften,
turn pink,
exposed to quite  
another
kind of heat...

And that fragrance,
well...

Close your eyes...

Yes...

That's it!

That night we walked
The wind in our hair
Burned our faces like razors
Whipping up the dust
Off the streets;
Eyes stinging red.
But we held hands
Clinging to each other's bodies
Like steel.
We never did let go of each other.

The streets were empty; cold.
Sweet woodsmoke filled the air.
A dog howled, there were whispers
In the trees
And leaves flew like birds;
They had scattered all around us.

That night the moon had followed us across
The Bridge Of The River Tilt.
Wherever we went, it was there
Naked like a white sun
Brandishing its golden eye
To protect us with its 24 carat light.

Clear like a pearl of magic,
This silver eye
That looks down at us
In a world of it's own understanding
Makes love with the sun
When they come together
To embrace.

The moon is like a globe of love;
A synagogue of peace.
God's eye watching over us,
Keeping us safe.
God's face admiring us
With our beauty
As we act on his stage.

The moon is like a woman's breast,
Her heart, her soul,
Her eye, her womb,
Her ******.

The sun burns with ****** desire
When the sun and moon come to kiss;
They become locked
In an eclipse of fire.

Mysterious
Like a blanket,
Like a golden fleece
The sphere of the moon sweeps across the sky
Like a quiet dream;
Floating like a ghost.
Wandering in jolting movements
As it sits in it's black watery hell.

As the moon sits
On a layer of haunting past,
Beauty, myth and adventure
It discovers the wilderness of ourselves.
It watches us making love,
It watches us when the world
Is at an end in war
And terror.
It confronts it with love and peace
And when we are in need of love,
Comfort and help
And his friends: the stars
Are at rest
He finds his own way of knowing
Where we are....

For those people who suffer the most
Are given hope,
Love and freedom.

And when the romantic moonlight spreads across
The lawn with silver shadows
It gives us pleasure of dreaming in silence....

Under the stars
We fall back
Onto the grass.
In open arms we form together
To kiss each other's lips.
Our naked bodies eclipsed;
Embraced
By the moons
Light and water.
