If

If love is a vast sea

Can it be nirvana

As it is oblivion

Noisy as it is silence

Calm, harmonious as it

Softly brushes the beach

Stormy, tumultuous as it

Angrily smashes the rocks

Pulled by the moon

To ebb 

Tricked by the sun

To neap

Yet every day

High and low tides

Bring magic

To our landlocked lives

Hidden behind

The smiles 

We try to suppress

As we feel the joy

Of those so brave

They dare to ride 

In the tube

Of love’s giant waves.

Show your lovely soul
Opening to the huntress
Watch for her arrows

Seed of Mystery
Autumn raindrops mock my tears
Loving feeds the growth

In my bed of leaves
With cloudy doubts of reason
Swept in windy swirls

Autumn medicine
March plants call out for harvest
Each a cry of love

Graceful willow wisps
In fall brush by my lips
Your fire ignites my soul

Breezes loosen life
Colored beauties leaving trees
We are free again

Head to Heart Moment - a Pi poem

When wisdom speaks

Listen

From head to heart

Stillness

Bring forth love from action

Rise up when pressures work to push you down

Oneness - Allness

Feel from your core the connection

Pulses from heart to head

Head to heart

Not buried deep in sand

Tugging until the light of day is revealed

Wisdom brings you to the open place of knowing

Now seeing with clarity and perfect vision

The path that leads us from love to action

Heart to head

Joining Moment

Two drops of water in a stream

Flow gently to the river's mouth

Two rivers 

Rush to the sea

Push and pull 

With the tide

Becoming

The massive wave

That shapes

The shore

Two drops of mist form a cloud

Roll and ride

The jet stream

Swallow warm vapors

Gather electricity

As they pass

Becoming

The dark storm cloud

That nourishes

The earth

Two bodies magnetically joined

Flowing, rushing,

 Pushing, pulling

Rolling, riding, 

Swallowing

 Gathering

Becoming

The empowering force

That lights

The spirit

Seimei Shin Moment - Homage to Joseph Campbell

Seimei Shin -

Purity of heart

Bright heart

Bright as the sun

Correct heart

Seeks fairness

Straight heart

Not inclined to mislead

Clear heart

Like a flawless diamond

Can a broken heart be

Seimei Shin?

No longer flawless

A diamond

In the rough

Filled with inclusions

Each earned

With

Love

Alien Abduction Moment

All in my head
Its what the doctors said
All in my head
Yet every week
Being abducted by an alien crew
A "SPELL" overcame me
As the hole in my heart
Would pull me on to their ship
Experiment
The same
Experiment
Each and every time
My fingers would grow
Into giant sausages
My mothers face blown up
Like a big fat balloon
Then the face
A witches face
with a huge wart on her nose
Laughing
Screaming
Closer and closer
An inch from mine
Would melt into a red and white
Target swirl
Begin to spin
Round and round
Until I hit the ground
"I'm back," I would cry
As if emerging from the ship
But it was all in my head
Its what the doctors said

Senryu Moment

Desire warms my mind

Warm thoughts of possibilities

Nipping at my heart

Love brings us oneness

Takes us to the next level

One never alone

Passion fuels my life

Like strong winds blowing my sail
While I learn to jibe

From Haiku to Tanka

Haiku

Like my cup of tea

In summer I sip from you

Missing your sweet voice

 Tanka

Like my cup of tea

In summer I sip from you

Missing your sweet voice

Missing the joy of joining
 Savoring each fragrant sip

Summer Moments - Haiku

 How may I love you?

 How will we dance summer’s tune?

 Blissfully open

How will I hold you? 

How will the trees hold their leaves?

Gracefully tender

Why look in my eyes?

Why look for God in the rain?

Loving is found there

What do lovers feel?

What have trees shared with the earth?

Will we ever know? 

Spirit Moment - A Cinquain

                         Spirit

              Yours, Mine

   Lighting, Shining, Believing

  Remember, seek deep  inside

                         Soul

Love Calling Moment - A Cinquain

                                                 Love calls
                                      Near the ocean’s surf
                                  Under forest’s dense shade
                               Atop a mountain in the breeze
                                                Love smiles

Whisper of Love Moments - Haiku

My red is passion,
Bamboo grows near, by the reeds,
Hollow filled by you.

If I am Phoenix,
Lotus Flower blooms each day,
You are my Dragon

Your tender touches
Underneath Orion's shield
Dreams of loving you

Remember the night

Clouds part for July’s Full Moon

We bathe in her light

Poetry Moment

Poetry is a necessity
It helps us make
That leap of faith
We need to see the truth

Poetry is a necessity
We do not need
To understand it
To gaze in wonder

Poetry is a necessity
It lifts us
It pulls us
It takes us on a wild ride

Not understanding poetry
Is a beautiful thing
It turns our eyes
Towards the beloved

Not understanding poetry
Is what our hearts
Ache for
What they deserve

Not understanding poetry
Is better than
Understanding most
Anything else

Villanelle Moment

Villanelle Moment

Awaiting, the moment of desire
We long for sweet kisses so near
Anticipation, my heart is afire

Knowing, not needing to enquire
We approach without any fear
Awaiting, the moment of desire

Connecting, we dare to aspire
We see that our passion is clear
Anticipation, my heart is afire

Traveling, this path may require
We embrace all that is dear
Awaiting, the moment of desire

Feeling, we must then conspire
We thrill when first we hear
Anticipation, my heart is afire

Wanting, what next will transpire
We reach to see it appear
Awaiting, the moment of desire
Anticipation, my heart is afire

Sedona Vortex Offerings Moment

The stone offerings were everywhere
Red rocks
Red earth
Tall ones, short ones
Creating a sacred place
As we worked to balance our stones
Hoping they would stay
As we erected them
For centuries
A monument to the
Deep seated need
Within the human soul
To connect with each other
As we connect to the divine

Old Fashioned Buttery Poetry Moment

You brought me here
Caressing me with your
Knowing fingertips
Silken lips
Probing tongue
Teasing me so close
To the edge of abandon
Falling fast until
A tall white cloud
Picks us up and holds us close
As the fiery sparks we transmit
One against the other
Igniting pure friction
Turning this
Sleepy, opalescent dragon
Into a fire breathing
Thundercloud
Arms and legs following
Bodies dancing to the beat
Of space and time
Entering Divine territory
As I call out to the Gods and Goddess
Before our trajectory
Finds a perfect galaxy
And we forget to land

Lovely Moment

Holding you
In my hands
Reaching around you
With my mouth
Feeling you
Against my lips
My tongue
Reveals you
Reveals me
As we
Find our way
To that other
Part of me
Where you fit
So perfectly
So amazingly
Where the very start
Of feeling you
Begins the journey
To mutual movement
Joyful expression
Rhythm
Pulsing
Joyful expression
Reaching the sky

Beauty Moment

If I want you
To see me
I need to remove
My armor
Open
Reveal
My vulnerability
Allow
The bright light
To shine
Reveal
My vulnerability
The gift
I offer you
A window
Into
My inner beauty

Musical Moment

Moving to the beat
Moving with your body
As you begin
The sounds I love to hear
The melody
The chorus
Unresolved
On the upbeat
Unfulfilled crescendo
Dissonant harmony
Now loud and long
Enlarged to form a Coda
Prolonging the buildup
Longer and faster
Then my treat arrives
As with the final climax
Of this piece
Followed by peace
And an amazing
Smile.

Intensity Moment

Resting in your arms
Speaking of intensity
Layers of intensity
Yours,
Mine,
Ours.
Intensity
Giving
Receiving
Shared energy
As each layer
Is unveiled
And the next
Revealed
We rise to meet
What that may mean
Reach for
Shared bliss
Listen to
Our bodies
Where they lead us
Where we follow
Where the pleasure
Of pleasing
And being pleased
Finds
A new realm
A new layer
Of intensity.
