same wind
connect with me now
in your mirrored
reflection
where a thought
can send
just a ripple,
transfixed
send me a part
of you
in the place where
we touch
the same wind

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

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

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

velvet moon
like a dream you wander
through the side of you
that gathers shadows best
but it’s in the time
in between moments
that scratch at you
and die off as ashes,
your secret revealed
when i sleep
your path is you, you know
so follow it

as it seems… there is a you
that experiences something other
like a wave with its ocean,
or a particle of air with its vast space
as if you, the wave
join with the other, the ocean
and yet,
also absolutely
something larger
now

a deeper order
create me like i created you
in the space
which lies deeper than you know
it is where, you see,
i first found
the concept of your
decision
to think outside your unexpected life
and roar instead
impactful.

where do you go?
where do you go at night when i think you are sleeping?
i looked under my pillow
but you weren’t there…
i hear you
and feel you
especially when
the nocturnal
start to stir
and tell me
you are here
again…
just listening

wander
wandering free,
yet expressed…
come with me to see how
somewhere between the wild
and the calm,
i know you
as you are

secrets unknown
through hidden stairways 
i see you best
the way you grow
in between
that which is covered
(and unknown…)
but beautiful you are
(secret, speak to me)
the ones who know
are lucky ones
who live there
in your recipe of magic
the others
pass
and find in you
their favorite
moments
(reverse time now
to show me
your unknown)
