Opening Bodies
It’s open
– the gates to my heart –
standing at the ready
for your direct passage
along the path of love
Yes, it is open.
It’s open
– the windows to my soul –
waiting to glimpse
the passing of beauty
along the vistas of love
Yes, it is open.
It’s open
– the portal to my being –
wishing to contact
the pressing wisdom
held within your body’s love
Yes, it is open.
Meanings
I heard you say:
I’d like that too!
to come forth with purpose
made manifest.
To descend down
life’s swerving path
with a knowledge constructed
through a passionate heart.
I saw your eyes plead:
I’d like that too!
To walk hand in hand
with a brave and confidant heart
sure of it’s divine right, its
pressing meanings that
always give it more strength.
I felt your body scream:
I’d like that too!
To move with reverent steps
down that equivocal musings
of a stolid and emulating heart.
To know your own reasons,
and find them completely needed
in this shifting and shaping world.
To know your task is to animate
love in a fecund heart.
All Love
All love is a path
guiding all who follow love
towards the heart of life.
And our touch brings life
to love’s surroundings holding
the hearts mysteries
within the enfolding path
that love brought to our hearts.
All love is a field
where life grows in abundance
perpetuating
life with amorous acts of
retribution and
copulation. And our hearts
desire a touch
gentle and elegant of
love’s abounding grace-filled peace
All love is a star
projecting an eternal
flame millions of light-
years through time and space giving
generations hope
and inspiring artists
of love’s true tension.
And our saving grace lies with
a new lease on life
lived full to life’s ripe endings
basking in life’s final truth.
A Year
One year in a life
fills the void of time
with passions new
mounting the lingering climb
I may gain in a moment
what in a year I lost
or I may loose in a second
what a year would cost
now as it seems
I’ve lost my purpose to be
a specific cause or meaning
life’s delicate flow through me
Loosing life and property
within a year’s passing
death takes with it causes
and meanings of life amassing
Now I spend my waking moments
trying to fill the empty space
that time has emptily left
within my quivering heart’s pace
Divesting myself in work and drink
setting down words to make my art
I find my task anew is to
animate love within a dead heart.
Closing in on a year filled with death
the soul’s raw, bloody and opened wide
ready to take to life’s climb
with passions new to ride.
The Cause
Every person
the whole world wide
has a cause which he, or she
sets up in their individual heart
– to love, to emote, to create
-t0 fight, to prosper, to make
-to conquer, to prove, to legislate
-to share, to give, to take
we breathe deep to close our eyes
to see the purpose, the soul’s meaning
etched into the sinews of life in
every person
