flow
seraphic flow
pour yourself
in me
till I am brimming
with you
flood in
a little more
till I overflow
with what a lifetime
can’t contain
as you slowly
trickle down my being
keep flowing in
till all I can feel
is you
when less
has been spoken
more has been heard,
take two steps closer
and revive me
with your touch
without a sound
awaken me
with your whisper
and remind me
what I have forgotten
remind me of you
with a paint brush then
consume me
in your painting
till I am one
with your colours
guiding me
with brushstrokes
take me home
pour
your
soul
into mine
overwhelm me

the rebirth
on this path of Heart
a time will come
when you will bathe
in love
oozing from
every atom
of every corner
there will be no running away
from anything
because in surrender
you will receive
what was waiting for you
what was always yours
strangers will no longer appear
to be ‘strange’
and you will begin to see yourself
in every face you meet
trees, birds, flowers, heavens
will welcome you with laughter
and you will feel yourself
pulsating with the life force
that guides
every being into action
your core will expand
in that fuzzy warmth
and you will feel
deep, pure love
overflowing for yourself,
for every atom in existence
you will begin to see
how to hurt another
only means hurting
your own self
and how a small act
of reaching out
can turn a life around
you will delight in connecting
with everything you touch
and all that enters
the realm of your senses
that have now suddenly
come alive
while experiencing ‘life’
you will often drown
in a flood of laughter and tears
only to be reborn
again and again
in those sacred moments
this experience
will engrave itself
in every cell of your body –
a remembrance
of what you had forgotten
a shedding of all
this world made you believe
after the unveiling
of the Miracle of miracles
as you come home
to yourself
no ’other’ will remain
with every breath, my love
you will now begin to feel
a mergence
with the Infinite

wait.
In a sacred moment
I tasted your presence
to the depths
of my soul
and all I ever knew
melted away
time stopped
and that moment lasted
for eternity
in your touch
you showed
what it means
to feel,
in your embrace
what it means
to belong
enwrapped in you
snow flakes
started to burn softly
and I forgot
where I ended
and you began
lost in the day
a thought of you
brushed by
like a gentle breeze
and butterflies
started fluttering
under my skin
in anticipation.

adrift
I wandered with a hunger
that only your love
satisfied.
Secrets unveiled with time
pure gratitude remained
for all that I was denied.
As the vision got clearer
chaos collapsed, doors opened
even those I never knew.
Now I keep finding myself
lost in the mystery
that is You.

clay
Light
has always been there
never beyond reach
flickering
at times flaming wild
defined spaces
clear boundaries
but to have a heart
that has bled much
loved much
it is in darkness
that the human in me
comes to life.

midnight ocean
don’t look for me
here or there
for I am without place
wherever love steers me
I keep flowing

swept away
my being
see how it aches
to feel your touch
your scent
how it lingers
to bring me back to you
your love
see how it flows
taking over –
all that is
all that ever has been
