I welcome you Love

To me who takes so seriously
without every intention of reciprocity
I bid you farewell
open season on generosity
free bidding towards caring
and actually doing the things I'm intending
goodnight and adieu
to you who cares more
for the satisfaction of others
than the forever standing
truth of our Father
Hello and good-morning to me
becoming everything I never meant to be
to you now ready with candles
and flint
finally bleeding; standing up
sunburst and daylight
I welcome you Love
and Good-Bye to the Night.

I am

Rage and rise
O Sleeper
O Adversary
unclench both fists
stand down and
raise your eyes
for I am on your side
daughter
I AM.

Spark and Sparrow

Await the Giver...
only dirt holds its seed
and wax its wick
which can not be a light alone
which can not be roots with home
so still I receive

I refuse the white flag
my lover is the fight
Death before life
night comes heavy breathing
so still Love in strife

a fire when begun
first flint
to spark
composed in black
then to gray
so still the sparrow
so still the day

To have and to hold

All things:
all leaves, trees
paper that's green
could never fill it
no July sky
not under it, nor over it
either the entire human race
the place in between
sleep and awake
of promise and forsake
of dreams and of me
this wheel's on fire
my arms have been wide open
my eyes have been wide shut
all my will
all my won't
before new, after old
not equal to my
will have and will hold

I want You

I want you with singing

No longer weeping

I want you with dancing

No longer rummaging

I want you with peace

No longer fear

I want you from beginning to end

No longer in pieces

I want you to surrender

No longer armed

I want you to call me Home

No longer searching on that road

I want you My Beloved

No longer be alone.

It's alive ?

Idealism was layed to rest in its Sunday best
Motionless, breathing shallow breaths
Taking with it decent ideals and humanitarian pursuits
Now followed by Passion and Imagination
Lusting, grasping, moaning
For a chance to jump and gasp---
Screaming: “I am alive!”
