To Love, Today.

Today, comforting words fall flat-
for I’ve known pain that reaches
far deeper than words can travel…
And I know love that touches far more deeply than words can ever reach.

Convey a bit of truth, in words?
Convey my touch- the feel of me-
my essential being, holding tightly to you, clutching, needing to consume, to know, to experience, to explore, to convey all that words cannot contain…

What translation is there for my touch?

Convey heartache, sorrow, empathy, sympathy, compassion, lust, sadness, grief over promises broken, passion, purpose, hearts denied, love lost –

Convey all this magic, heart, spirit, soul, with simple words? Not so simple after all.

No words are not enough, never enough to contain all that remains unsaid between us, but they are all I have right now, to touch you with -

So I send to you these words, into the ethereal realm of expanding universe,

May they know the joy of touching your heart, where I cannot. May they know the bliss of feeling your passionate expanse, that I have felt in your touch.

May you know the peace of dreams come true, as the only lasting effect of my touch for you.

May your celebration be complete when these words fade into twilight, leaving you with renewed commitment to your own love, words, touch, path, and process. Do not let the words touch you, for they are inferior… Just let them remind you of the perfection that is experienced when you invite love in, let love shine, and make time for love.

I have known in each touch, always and forevermore, the whole truth of you.

Afternoon Story

She went, quite peacefully, on her way, moving more and more toward her heart’s calling, letting the rest fall away, unattached to how or where it fell, and came home, knowing it always is the right decision to be at home with herself before all else.

Serenity Found Within the Chaos

Serendipity

What This Is: ”as their highnesses traveled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of….”

What We Are:  a discovery, at once wise and accidental, of that which neither of us imagined we would find, here…now…

no how or why about it, just Is. Was. Will Always Be. No matter what we make, or don’t make of it…

Remains:  a happy accident, a synchronistic pairing, a mysterious melody outside the realm of “impossible,” a fond memory always in the making…

Can Be?  Who knows. When you know… anything is possible.

Beautiful

 

“You’ve got to get up every morning, with a smile on your face,

and show the world all the love in your heart…”

 

ephemeral lasting

when we love
we love fully
there is no holding back -
no resorting to half-finished truths
no regretting words and breaths shared
between desire and catastrophe

when we love
we do not ask why
why me, why now, why this way-
we do not grieve loss
we celebrate all we have been given
freely -
all experienced in states of bliss -
even when the states seem ephemeral,
even as the mystery continues
to unfold with ever increasing
wonder…

moments of awe mixed with moments of envy
sudden synchronicities & sad stillnesses -
mixed messages from a Universe muddled with so many
thoughts floating out there -
it’s a wonder anything this lasting
can survive a night
much less a year or two -

when we love
we love fully
we love as long as it lasts,
ask no questions -
just echo a grateful thank you, for this life,
for this love, for this you-
ephemeral lasting love-driven lusting,
sacred enchantment of
one long moment
stretching into forever…

we say thank you to the gods of divine intervention
and graceful courtesy…
we wish on a star,
fling our hearts out to sea,
bask in the sun
and make out like banshees.

There is wildness in this love -
there is form in all this chaos -
there is magic in this moment
we share always and ever after.

Being Human

“an ode to love”

Maybe this is what it’s all about -
you feel like your entire life is falling in on you
and then you walk out the door and smell
the sweet scent of lilacs blooming
and suddenly you know-
it’s really all just coming together
for the first time.

Or you realize you’ve made a mistake -
hurt someone – been careless, been selfish,
or just could have been a better person in that one moment
and then a long lost memory of a sweet love pops in,
reminding you of how selfless, how loving, how beautiful you have been -
and you are suddenly taken back to a moment
when you were exactly who you were meant to be, and you realize
that moment lives on forever,
can be created again, and again…

Maybe you find yourself at a point in your
life you never thought you’d get to -
a full life, successful, accomplished, at least seemingly so, even finding a certain
contentment with growing into yourself,
but you still feel like something’s missing…

something huge:

and you don’t know what it is or where to find it
so you find yourself doing things completely
out of character – like imagining yourself in a wild affair
or wasting time obsessing about trivial
matters or doubting your once undeterred optimism for life -
and you start beginning to think that maybe
you’re just a rotten person after all, to the core…

but then you meet someone – across a crowded room, at the gym, on the corner,
here, even -
and they have this profound effect on you -

like something out of a fairytale
or a Shakespearian tragedy

and you’re left reeling, high on life, wondering
what twist of fate gave you this glimpse
of wonderland – recognizing your ordered life has been
re-ordered in the best way possible – knowing you
are changed forever -
knowing things this magical only
happen once in a lifetime…

And in all these moments, through highs and lows,
mistakes and forgivenesses, the scent of lilacs,
the fragrance of a memory – you realize,
you are simply being human.

And suddenly you know: this is beauty in it’s rarest form.

So you blunder on, let life come crashing in,
in all it’s mess and glory- you make more mistakes,
forgive yourself, move on, allow your moments of sadness or melancholy
their full expression, invite more moments of magic and delight…

because you know, only in living fully can you
celebrate the beauty, of all that is,
all that was, all that will ever be…

and there is more beauty out there,
waiting to be discovered, than you can
possibly imagine, boxed into your small perspectives…
so you open up, you open up…you let it in…

And there is more hope,

And there is more love too.

And yes, there are more “once-in-a-lifetime”
moments for you.

Here’s to the best of what I see in you
even after seeing all this life can do
to bring out the worst in people -
I still believe there is more good than bad, out there, in here,
in you…
my most missed connection (you know who you are),
and you, and you, and yes, you too…
you reading this now-

there is hope for you-
there is magic in you -
there is beauty to be found -
there is the best in you to be acknowledged.

Love it up,
I do.

Didn’t Even Know That Love Was Bigger

 

Celebrating Love Today.

 

 
I do it for Love, Love, Love, Love…

Babe, I know that it’s your soul, but could you bottle it up…

 

I am aiming to be somebody that somebody trusts

with a delicate soul, I don’t claim to know much,

except soon as you start to make room for the parts that aren’t you it gets harder to bloom in a garden of love,

Love, love, love…

 

Only one good thing worth trying to be and it’s love, love, love, love…

I do it for love, love, love…

Emerging

It’s never too late to be the person you could have been.

As long as you are still alive, you have choices. Choose love.

Choose life.

Choose forgiveness. Peace. Truth. Joy.

This moment, right now, chose the best version of the person you once imagined you could be.

Live from that place, live from that person.

Love life with all your soul – put your heart on the line- be bold, be daring, be courageous, be humble, be happy to be just be yourself.

Your best self.

Love never ends. Love is limitless. Love is free.

And you are free – to be the best you can be, to be the worst you can be…

Love does not care which you choose, for love knows, it is All there is…it is all Love.

 

Remember this, when you judge, when you hurt, when you fail, when you fall down, when you don’t know what to do…

Love knows. Ask Love.

And listen.

Listen to the wind. The sea. The sun. The rain. The stars. The moon. The glow of awe and innocence in a child’s eyes.

Listen to the pain. Listen to the magic.

 

Let it happen.

Let it be whatever it is.

You cannot kill love. You cannot lose love.

You can only listen, let it in. Or walk away. Shut it out.

 

Whatever you choose, love knows, it cannot lose you.

 

 

I’d Make Your Eyes The Morning Sun…

 

I’d put so much love where there is sorrow…

I’d put joy where there’s never been none.

Then I’d give my love to you,

for you to keep for the rest of your life…

Oh and happiness would surely be ours and that would be alright-

oh, yes it would…

miss you

i love you.

that is all.

miss you

Home

 

I have found my peace in you.
you are the center of my experience-
like it or not-
you cannot take it away from me…

no matter how hard you try.

No matter how many harsh or careless words you write,
no matter how indiscriminately you give away your own
magic -
no matter how you avoid my eyes, my soul…

Misplaced as it may be,
it is my life to misplace,
my mistake to make.

I am just who I am
and who I am is one who finds
the beauty in all rare things,
the magic in the most unlikely places
the peace in the center of my own heart’s storming rages…

I have found my peace, in you.
You pulled my heart into your hands,
I didn’t resist your pull  -
and here is where, I found my own
home.

There is nothing in me that does not find it’s center in you-
this experience is my very core -
from Us is where my roots grow.

You don’t get to uproot my peace.
It lays in every breath you take.
You are my center.

That is all there is.
The cycle revolves around that center.
Beginning….end…begin again…
I am the light you circle around and around.

I am the thrill you find in everything you touch.
Everyone you know. Every moment you live.

We can never be apart,
because we are One -

You are my center.
And I am home.
And we are One.
And my striving is (never) done.

Always – M
