mystic
ambrosial hour of dawn
adrift in a state of oblivion
of which nothing can be said

applause
to the one
who took their time
to honour life
on a sidewalk
this morning
you give me hope
in a world
that has often failed
to recognize
its own kind
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.

Haunted
by the memories
of an ancient love
I look for you
hidden
from everyone
with me, in my heart
I carry you.
chaotic stillness
Life goes.. forward
or does it trace its way back
one encounter at a time
to where it all began
like a jigsaw
that you try to piece
your whole life
only to realize
it was already complete
in the name of ‘experience’
you stumble
diving face first
into your destiny
resisting, accepting, becoming
what you were meant to be
faces, forgotten faces
surfacing from abyss
at the time of need
others with time
sink to the bottom
in the deep
faces, traces, erase it
a hand once held
an embrace once felt
that left a taste of divinity
this fading world
sweeps past
so quickly
where is the affinity?
cradling fragments
embedded in the core
of true Reality
I persist
hearing the memory
of a quiet surrender
long before
I can remember.
together
In you,
my essence dissolves
like sugar in water.
Beyond you,
I see no other.
Who was I
when I was without you?
Who am I
now that you are here?

Forgive me,
when I shamelessly ask
for your love.
Without it, darling Beloved
I wouldn’t be alive.
