Emptiness

love is beyond
your own desire
it gives you power
in serving the other
it is one paradox
that scares the mind
yet the true giving
can feel so divine
and so it is only 
fair to post
love's only purpose
is to become a ghost
with no petty whims
and demands to present
just become emptiness
and fill that space
with another's face
unite with grace
in surrender of an embrace

Become the One

wanting to write
a verse or two
with nothing in mind
and nothing to prove
just sitting and staring
and wanting to know
the man and his curtain
and the road out there
and they see the light
and flock in packs
they, too, want to know
not knowing which way to go
they stand and they run
they might smile or hide
yet no matter the show
the light's still aglow
and there is no way in hell
it intends to stay away
it will keep getting bright
until it is so hot
it turns into white
and moves about untouched
and the only prayer
that goes out there
is to tread with care
do not step just anywhere
be aware of your hand
and what it holds
because though it's on
it might become gone
and you'll miss the charm
that pulled out your harm
be sweet and be kind
be gentle like the divine
be here and now
take your time
ignite from inside
become the one
clean and alive

I Would

I never knew
When you walked on through
I would look at you
I would pay my due
I would stand with you
I would reach to you
I would give for you
I would hold all of you

I would stand before you
I would fully adore you
I would smile and warm you
I would want nothing of you
I would put down my guard
I would relax and be kind
I would glow like the sun
I become the innocent one

I never knew
When you waltzed on through
I would look at you
And forget what to do
I would stand next to you
And feel morning's dew
I would reach out to you
And pour out 
My love
My heart
My angels
My compassion

I never knew
When you glided on through
I would skip the cue
Look 
And feel the sweetness of you

Thank you...
