you exist
outside the river of time…
so do i
passing through the veil
to this place in my heart
a journey through
before finding the sun…
in me there is magic to this life
to realize the answers
because love survives
tattooed forever
as the one
who will find the way
forever enchanted
to eternity

the signs never cease
to tell me
still you are here.
i want you to tell me though
that you still want me here
because you are lost now
and i feel it.
do you want me to stand
in the fire with you
and be the moon that shines
on your path?
your path now is like
an answer for me
even as you take
the wrong path
to find the right
where you know who you are
never running.
i am done with our other journey
where you close
expecting me to open you.

she only wants him
to hear her
to feel her syllables
like a feather touching his skin
even for a second
so she keeps trying
for that triumph
why? because she loves him
what else can she do
but wait for his cocoon to open
on its own time
she cannot open it for him
though he secretly wishes she would
to free him of his prison
she knows its in the struggle that he grows
she can relax though
she gets forever afterall
because he walked into her dream with a purpose
to never leave

yearning to
watch time pass
without a sound
because
i know you
like a secret
hide with me
now in our covers
because
you are my love

unspoken words
speak above
emptying your soul
to me
but i know your secrets
i’m in you
the missing stone on your path
find me at the edge
near the bridge i see you on now
in the cold
you see me waiting
with your words
don’t ever change who you are

space
giving him
air to breathe
me, himself, us
the clouds will part
the moment he opens
again… when he cannot
imagine this life without me
when he forgives with no conditions
his wind will reach me and caress the back
of my neck… and will tell me “you will know, love,
when i am in the sky coming back to you… don’t worry”

i built you
to shield me from the world
with knights, dragons and swords
to fend for the delicate
precious
parts that lie inside
shadows…
dreams…
escape…
you kept me safe
so that i could go on my path
alone
although i owe you a lot
i no longer need you
i let the water
wash you away now
slowly it drips
so that i no longer have to pretend
that you
are stronger than me

balance on me
i’ll keep you up
until i pass through
the door
which lingers
yet i cannot see
catch me there
before i fall
into the sea

from here
in the space absent of you
i have more power to give.
erased are your doubts
gone is the pressure
to be more than i am
for now i can see
that in you, you saw
a perfect soul
and it was me.
your answer to life was me
all questions answered
since the first day i came
into your heart
and i in you
you are a resonance
of my perfect heart
beating
you looked after me like a brother
a best friend.
i find now
that in letting go of something
there is a hidden treasure
to be found
in the experience.
i have found what means the most.

thanks so much to Jingle for this Best Poet Friend Award on Jingle Poetry
i love you
with no conditions
my heart knows you…
a sure thing
like the birds that wake
to the rising sun
they know it’s their time
a precious new start to living
i love you each day anew
but always feeling
timelessness of us
like infinity
never waning

you can go
to the meadow
whenever you want
i’m always there.
you can move together with me
feeling our breeze
sharing the same space
that created us
from one heart to another.
i can feel you touching my face now
as you float to me in a mist
reaching the same space
our mystery…
our meadow…

moving too fast
leads to doubt
allowing no feeling
digesting
loving
all that you are
along the way
even if eyes on your words
can be a form of touch
you long for
you are precious
and grow
like a little seed in its bud
into a flower
be patient
all in good time…

you are a gift to my world
do you know that?
i will follow you
to the end.
would the stars give me you,
the one i have searched for
all my life,
without also showing me
the way,
the secret
to find you
in my life?
i whispered to you
you took my hand
together we moved forward
to discover the wonders of
yes.

on the wings of time
you are
floating as if effortlessly
yet with unknowable strength
i don’t know how
but i’m headed there now
to see you
in the moment
you saved
for me

flowers growing
knowing their secret
is in their seed.
do not pick me
too soon.
i am free
in the wild
growing on time.
i am a flower.
i am me.

i see you
in all things
in a time where
magic is a rule.
is it true
that difficulties increase
the nearer we approach
the goal?
we haven’t even begun
to fill its shadows

to see
what is
on the other side
