then pause
you
feel trapped
inside the cells of
secrets known

so, shhh
listen for my pause
[…]
and you’ll see
the way

silence savored
in your
silence

what i said
to you
for you…

a response
anyway

of red, of wood
laid out
your fire, the sun
that only looks directly at you
through reflection
of red, of wood
everlasting
in me

melt me, soon
my heart
is your
garden
.
looking into
you
my eyes
touched your
clouds
.
the ones
that drink in
their deserts
.
to answer,
i floated
in dark leaves
.
knowing you
would
melt me,
soon

through a mystery
what do you think of
when you fall, slowly through a mystery
looking through
the eyes
of me?

dear mountain stream
i don’t know how
you do what you do
but you do it
every time
to me
a never-ending
way of being
dear mountain stream,
speak to me
as loud as you wish

that holds it all
you drift
you feel
your way to me
as steam
seeping…
in your way
that holds it all
together
somehow
a prize

purple heart
floating
drops
unknown
still

the mountain
every step i take
i’m closer to you
the way i feel you
see me
as if looking through
piercing…
did you know
you are the mountain
i intend to climb
and reach?
…after all
you are the one who
taught me
how to whisper

its paradox
ever emerging
all sides
of you
choose the
one in your now
who is
in between
your dark night
your early dawn
rising
because it knows
what to do
…next
is it the
mystery
u n f o l d i n g
its view
its paradox
that chooses
without limits
to protect you?

star on a distant paradise
where are you now
in this moment, i ask
climbing a ladder to a distant cloud
that only i know…
floating on a bubble under a wave of life?
you are crazy
with the mystery you breathe
you are the pure energy
of love
… fire mixed with water
and raindrops inside sand
you are tears and joy forever intertwined
like a bird not knowing his wings
still… after all
you know you are
the one who saved me from a distant paradise
and you are true

am i?
through words
and time
we find our way
cobwebs of fears …
clarity that whispers…
dusty ashes, long ago speaking
of time gone by
sunlight laughing
on beaches with no name
when in the end
what i really want to know is
am i worth it?

your way across
a strange rain in june
my petal stretching out
to you
when you reached for it
i leapt
and prayed
to you that you would
find your way across
to where i am

blowing dust, always touching
if only for a second
….blow the dust
……..from your mind
…………the sands of time
…………….and follow me…
did you think
this act would….
tingle your spine?……..
restrict the narrow…………
spaces that you call ‘you‘?…………….
what if this place
….your perfect harmony
……..touches the rest,
…………always essence
…………….never hindering?
your
blood….
flowing……..
just holding lightly…………
