my heaven
you are my heaven
you are my sunlight
you are every
thing
i ever dreampt
that was noble and wonderful
thankyou
for sharing your heaven with me

Brand Me
The hammock sways in the night
The breeze plays the leaves
And they whisper your name
A hush falls between the stars and I
Our conversation stilled
My wonderings wide and awed
Come home to settle and curl between
You and the moon
And wonder if you could be loosing sleep
Thinking of me.
The air is chilled dew collected on my skin
And I wish you were here to warm me
collect me and find this fire burning
Deep inside me, tilt me over the edge
Find me yours
And brand me with your hands
Leave me taken into you
So deeply - I am changed by your soul
Into Love and plunged into myself
Falling forever into your skies
Counting your stars
Tilting the axis
Watching the poles melt and flood the plains
Eat the constellations as they rise
With each changing season on your hips
And from your arms
And dive to play in each galaxy your heart opens.
Let me die in your arms
Let me draw a new breath in the moans
Of bodies turned and twisted in darkness
And flying into the moonbeams
Of all the seasons to come.

Thoughts
Long Yawns stretched against
Sheets and Sliding
into pillows
wearing my skin
and a shirt
that could be yours
and a soft smile
to think you
are stretched yawning
along your bed.
My hands slide under
Over in
To follow yours
You become my shadow
My ghost my dream
My tremors
Spread pinned taking
Aching throbbing need
Of more
Conjured and Real.
I crave more than your bones
And your skin
I want to reach beyond
Your eyes with my heart
And touch and bathe my soul
In yours and each time I feel
It happening again and again
Lost in your voice I stretch
And slide
Into the sky beside you.

Forget Everything But This Joy


What could be sweeter
Than this moment
Wrapped in your eyes
Drinking your soul?

If you will put down
Your glass
I will whisper it
In your delicate ear.

It could be
Better
To run my hands
Along yours like this.

It could be
Sweeter to slide between
Your arms
And linger there happy.


It could be
Like hot wine
to drink your breath and lips
And tongue and your sighs.


It could be
An eternity before I burn your
Every movement into my brain
what fun it would be to try.

It could be better
To lay you against silk and climb over
Your back and slide and oil and take
with deft strokes all the stress of the day.

It could be
Fun don’t you think
To explore your landscape
Here and an inch lower and there
Moaning Like this.

It could be
Heaven to watch you and see
Which you like best
The gentle slow trailing finger tips
Tracing bones and sweet soft flesh
Or the hard need of lost control
And hand in your hair
Drinking roughly your mouth and neck.

Oh it could be
ecstacy to fall into your eyes
and mouth and heart and soul
all at once and forget everything
but this joy.

It could be
And will be
Such a heaven
Such a haven
Such bliss
And I would love to show you
So much more than this
IF you'll let me
just like this...

BED TIME STORY

Outside the door,
Dancing in the dark
Is the Queen of the Fireflies;
Who can only be caught in dream hands.
If you are lucky enough
to dream and catch her-
whisper to her softly,
She will show you a path strewn
With stepping stones made of clouds
and fairy dust.
If you follow it from your bed,
It will lead you out between the stars
To a bridge of dreams.
And if you have not gotten Too old –
to BELIEVE in it,
You can cross it and throw
In the deepest wish of your soul,
It will float in a river of stardust
And blossom into a ship of falling stars
That carries you home and
Your wish into reality.
I wonder sleepy one
What is that your wish would be.

At Summer Dusk

The Birds settle
..................Into nightsong.
The moon plays
..................Between clouds.
The pattern weaves
..................Around me.
The moss softly
..................Holds me and
My eyes breathe
..................A sigh.

Stillness
Being with you
Is like being in a still lake
At twilight as the mist rolls in.
Fearless of what lies beneath and beyond
Soothed by sound and motion of
Floating weightless in unity
Not moving in any certain direction
But knowing all directions
lead to the same shore.
Surrounded by peace
Stilled in support
And letting it all go
To move and submerge
separate from and at one with
The motion, the lake and the moment.
The days pass and I find my mind
Drifts peacefully to the shore
To curl against its banks,
Speaking and listening in communion
With the still ripples of your soul.

Just before Sleep


Each night I find you
Before sleep
And turn wild in falling
Filling the circle of my heart
And arms with you.
On your back I crawl over you
A panther dipping into
Small spots between bones
Lapping the moist hollows
Trapped Sunlight glistens in lines
I flow hand and body over ribs
That become dunes like home
As other horizons rise
in your hips calling me
Towards exotic shores to plant
This wildness between the leaves
And devour fruit that starves
To be opened and sucked and rooted
Grounded in and against
My body and hung round my neck
In whispered moans
And I fall and spill like a river
Spent and tamed and soaked in
Your dream and desire
And waiting to stretch my legs
And arms and encircle
the wonderful landscape ofyou
in this reality.

Wishes

I threw a penny in a well and made a wish
A friend asked what I wished for- how can I say
Such large wishes all at once in a word?
I wished for your presence- to be in the tempest
Of waves rising and washing against your breath.
I wished to be with out oars or a raft drowning in you – sinking – and breathing your wetness as air.
I wished for normalcy and routine – of days and nights where feeding you and mutual admiration
Were the sacred acts of daily life.
I wished for your smile to grace my days
For as long as your breath and mine continue.
I wished for Faith to jump and wake us in glee.
I wished for presents of puppies in boxes and cartoons of living happily ever after.
I wished for Love
so large it could change those we touch and
That it ripple forever outward.
I wished for life
as I always knew it should be.
I wished for everything at once-
It must have been a magical well because I got
Much more than wishes. I found YOU.
And you are beyond all the wishes I ever made.

THE MANDALA

The absurd truth
Of reality is stranger than fiction.
You are like staring into a complex
Mandala made of a billion grains
Of sand. Dyed in perfect brilliant
Hues and spilled in a maze by your soul.
A maze of beauty so profound it awakens.
A labyrinth that leads the viewed into an
Awakening with the viewer. Into secrets
That say a sigh holds eternity.
A heartbeat holds the secret of life and joy.
I seek your soul and heart- ever onward.
I am Pulled deeper
Into the intricate path.
Deeper into you is deeper into everything.
The effect ripples effect.
Staring into a mandala
One can find all secrets and truth
Of here now and forever.
You are this
Extreme
Intricate
Portrait of the eternal
Perfection.
Strange though it is I will come to find
That you are a dream made real
Half of a mandala I carried inside my soul
Given back by your hand taking mine
And setting free faith to exist
As a dream made real
A patterned maze seeping into truth
And forever in the small trickle of sands
From your hands and soul.
