Be

Be
simply be
that is ALL I want
from you
simply loving
simply praising
simply giving
simply sitting with me
just getting to know me better
and letting me love you

Polyrhythms

Polyrhythms pulsating
Delighting, enrapturing my soul
Beautiful blending
Captivating, awakening joy within
Shouts sounding
Filling, thickening the air
Inspiration invading
Scandalizing, are we foolish?

king praising KING

The dum, dum, doom of the djembe
rolls into my ears
People swaying and dancing for
you alone
Hands raised in praise to you
... and it takes me back
Year upon year rolls back
until they number the thousands
And there before me is King David
dancing for you alone
king praising KING
without royal garb upon him
knowing that his actions and heart
were right before you
in that moment ...
it all makes me smile
As silent words to you go
inaudibly I sit content
My heart bowed, inspiration before me,
birthing poetic praise
Delighted because I get
to simply see my friends worshiping

Little Broken Pot

Little broken pot
you were perfectly created and
are beautiful
But time had come to
smash you and
join you with the other broken pots
Once a lovely clay pot
now you are millions of colorful tiles
each one added carefully,
full of love to the others,
and so becoming
a timeless tile mosaic
that takes the Artist's breath away,
enamored by the beauty
and joyfully mindful of the
individual worth and need for every single tile
in the priceless living creation.

Warrior Princess

Flowing gown as you sit astride a horse
as white as snowflakes
You are lovely and yet not ignorant;
You have come prepared for battle
Shield in hand, reigns in the other,
you gallop into the battle
And so it begins, and the bloodshed
quickly follows
Unswerved you charge and slash you
deadly sword into the hearts of enemies
Fall, fall, corpess lying upon the just-barely-living laying on the ground
Holy fury has come upon you and so
you wage a love war
And do not I ride with you enraptured

Sacred L♥ve

Oh sacred love, I will fight for you
I will die for you, I will worship you.
Your love is immense, indescribable, and
unconditional. Let such love arise in me!
Let me trust in such love. Let me freely give it away.
Let me ALWAYS be ravished by you.

Tsunami

Sadness engulfs me like a tsunami
and pierces me like a mystery.
I want to just cry, and cry, and cry
until my tears sweep me away like a raging rapid.

Do not hold me any longer sadness
let your visceral grip be loosed
Set me free from this torment
do not mock me any longer.
