Angel

"Are you an Angel?"
He asked today
Some may say
That I am
Yet I know best
Wings don't grow fast
And, by no means,
By themselves
But I'd like to be like one
And I'd like to live like one
And I'd like to hug everyone
And to comfort all in my tiny arm
And to leave a scent of sweetness behind
And to need or want nothing from anyone
Just to float on
And fly on by
And to melt into time
Without a drop of chime
Become more of the divine

Yes!

A man with clarity
With love and levity
A man with a touch
To tear it all apart

A softness
A kindness
A steady hand
I'll bow down to you
And clean your plate

I'm ready
I can
I'm willing
I demand
Perfect enough
To accept his gold band

Buy the ticket
Only a plane ride to wait

Who Wrote This?

Parts of me
See in you
Might be a projection
Even so
View is anew

Life is a mess
Not wrapped 
With a bow
It has many faces
It sings with the crows

It has many shades
It laughs and it pains
It can't be explained
To know the depth
Jump into the meditative mess

She will come alive
She'll laugh and she'll cry
She'll hit you and pounce
You'll be taken on a merry go-round

But she'll make you feel high
And you'll never feel dry
And you'll long for her sigh
In her majestic design

The highs 
The lows
The grey shades
The rainbows

The dark shadows
The vast meadows
The lull and the rise
Of a grand force
It'll sweep you up
Carry you out of the storm
Onto the angel's belly
Of unmarked territory
Where you can feel
You can rest and swallow
The elixir of life
With a bit of sorrow

She's waiting
Still
Till you finally open
And notice her beauty
Her charm
Her undeniable power

Give To Me

Stay with me for a little while
Talk to me for a time allowed
Offer to me what you have found
Take care of me without sound
See what else might be discovered

Open your heart to me fully and quickly
Touch my core
Breathe me in completely
Fall into depths of greater existence
Stay with me
Look at me deeply
You'll bathe in love
Surrender into sweetness

Waiting

He said to get a better bait
I guess I'm not that great yet
Time has passed at a fast rate
Still I guess I'm not there yet

I want to know what it would take
Which stone to shapen with a blade
Is it a long bone of the flesh
Is it something I haven't met

Playing with fire or just a match
I am a team of one with room to add
Sharpening skills to be mostly set
With a slit open to embrace a mate

Sometimes

Sometimes you just need to rest
Lie down on grass and melt
Sometimes you just need to sleep
Wrapped up in the grace of one's dear
Sometimes you just need to give
Beyond your current capacity
And sometimes you can just sit still
Eyes closed with your own company
Because the thing that's inside is real
It can throb like a pulse of melody

Dark

If it would only flow
In the land of sweet
Perfected and reflecting
All that's to be seen
The eyes could be closed shut
Still noticing the sea
Fully knowing the course
And where lies destiny

If it would only glow
Without a single light
Available for taking
Not hiding in the dark
Then maybe, oh just maybe
The smile would turn on bright
The distance, it disappears
And then, immeasurably alive

Frustrated

Angry cry
Desperate tears
Not knowing why
Sadness appears
Want to break free
Chains and deadbolts
Hidden is the key
Can't unlock the vault

Where is the magic?
The promised land?
Have banged 'gainst winds,
Walls, hurt delicate hands
Have walked the road
Have pushed through the rain
Can't go much farther
Carrying this unending pain

Sitting and standing
Unwilling to pretend
The sun has no meaning
While each has his own shame
And tears form rivers
Of undissolved past
Hope is deceiving
Where is the magic touch?
