I Offer Love

May, 1985

 

unconditionally

no response is necessary

just wrap yourself in my love

listen to it

touch it

try to contain it

and watch it

it will evade all understanding

all reason

all rules

the only law it knows is...

it exists

The Eyes of Love

July, 1995

 

transportation

to get from here to there

how funny

there is no distance between you and me

there is nothing that separates us

no walls

no fences

to keep each other out

the eyes of love see right through

 

A Sense of Love

 June, 1983

expectations

promises

words that fall so short

of the expressions of Love

instead

a simple knowing

what is real

what is lasting

what is true

Love

as expressed

in me and you

 Love's Ritual

June, 1992

dance with me

you lead

I follow happily

then I lead

lightly we learn to spin and twirl

new steps

new rhythm

can two people dance

without a leader?

on that rare occasion

when they lose themselves

and become the music

they become One

the dance is magic

pure and strong

the dance is Love

Your Loving Ways

 November, 1978

pleasing are the ways

of your love

your voice grows soft

your heart opens wide

judgement falls away

and the love and its magic

shines in

 

Completeness

August, 1980

Anembrace...

Amemory...vivid and lingering

Afeeling...warm and sincere

Athought...spontaneous and incomplete

Abeginning...sought and found

Areminder...farewells are necessary before meeting again

Apart...meeting again is certain for true friends

Anticipating...completeness

Anembrace...
