Storms calm
May we be the sky
our thoughts but the breezes and tornadoes
our feelings the clouds and falling snow
our fears the hail and black holes
our longings the dew and stars
May we be wide open
holding, enfolding
embracing all
joyfully and boundlessly
in a skyscape of sun and moon and storm and the bright blue afterglow
Unfettered by the tempests of the day
may we be the calm in the center of it all.

Hope
Upwelling of urge to
repair future state
restore respite
rain recourse.
Overflowing and away
hope harnesses to
silence
stills to sweet surrender.

morning meditation in times of covid
First, greeted by the waves.
Then the lone eagle.
My wounded body.
A flock of seagulls.
A seal.
My heavy heart.
I look out to the mountains.
They meet me, too.
Then clouds.
My breath.
Then, nothing.
Beautiful nothing.
Every thing.
All of them, sacred.
Each whispering,
‘It is well.’
Can you hear them?
Attune your ear closely.
It
Is
Well.
R.

Subtle Succumbing
i do not ask
for your surrender.
who would say yes
...or no?
instead, i will allow seduction
its slow, languorous play
each advance sliding deeper
until i am so far in
we recognize no other
and when your white flag raises
i will sit back gently upon it
and eternal ecstasy
will rise in its stead
and we will laugh that
once upon a time
we thought possible anything
but this...
for your surrender.

Longing’s Renaissance
Coming together yet again
in sacred offering
all galaxies drip through us
pointing us home.
There was never anywhere to go.
The You you search for
know this truth intimately.
—Pungent longing for your liberation
my own journey to nowhere’s bliss—
My Love, turn senses inside out
and inward to remember.
Then come again
that we may discover as one
the drops of our
universal everywhere.

EROTIC POEM

27th Feb 2020 9:13pm
Bodywork
new hands caress bare back for the first time
obliterating all sense of new and first and time
glide down Sharada’s OM
connecting bodies to soul to universe
sacred practice pulverizing strangers
creating union of embodied, wordless metaphor
familiarity merges, worships together
the sweet succulent silence of Touch.

Little Deaths
Les petites morts*
I have to believe that the only thing wrong with this otherwise perfect turn of the french tongue is scale. There seems to be nothing small whatsoever in this cosmic game you and I play.
Calling out over and over in this most ultimate of ecstasies, there is no end, only beginnings.
‘Insatiable,’ your repeated murmur.
‘Greedy one! Stop anytime.’ I might counter in response, though only in my after-imaginings—there is no room for thoughts or words in this delectable dance of decease.
Taken with uncountable deaths...

Making Sense(s) of it All
To see spellbound a sunset in shadows cast on a sunless day
To hear ocean waves echoing through the hollow of a pocketed treasure
To smell detritus and become overwhelmed with the beauty of life
To taste manna flowing freely through throat’s caverns
To touch the hand of the outcast and feel God reaching back
To embody love so profoundly that these senses become limbs for the journey.

Damp and Dark
Night bears witness
as moss traps and releases
moisture from the sky above
and the ground below
You break my heart from these same places
open me until space is all that exists
I am ready now
for you to become the moss
in the crevice of my wide open
expansiveness
There is enough damp and dark here
for you to feast into eternity
come drown in it
then go out remembering
as swiftly and lovingly as you forget.
