A Little Adventure—poem
Here is a new video of two of my poems: A Little Adventure (written a few months before my mother’s passing) and Half-Way There (written a few days after my mother’s passing).
A Little Adventure
Why are you worried?
It’s just a little adventure.
There’s plenty more to come.
It won’t be long
and we’ll see you again.
We’re never far apart.
You’ll barely be gone
and, once more, we will
be uniting to restart.
Three Mystical Poems by Meister Eckhart
Here is my video of three Meister Eckhart mystical poems:
Why So Many Souls
Always Kissing
Intimate
Great Blue—poem
Who can stand it—
this uncertain bond?
Shall it be
swallowed by
the great blue mouth of sea?
The Great Death—poem
I stood at the back of the funeral room.
Very still.
Black dress. Black coat.
It’s cold.
Purposely alone.
Ears closed.
Not wanting to hear
the tirade of sweet lies.
One Day the World Stopped—poem
One day the world stopped
because of the thing.
We knew it was there
and knew it was dangerous
because, you know,
it left bodies in the dirt.
We all stayed in—
couldn’t touch,
shouldn’t meet,
mustn’t dance.
God forbid
we kiss.
Fall in Love with a Flower—poem
Fall in love,
fall in love.
How easy it is
to fall in love with a flower.
Take it,
take it.
Fragile thing.
Absolute power.
Vicious—poem
Play your cards.
Leave no trace.
Pick a time.
Pick a place.
Keep your fire
smouldering low
until you strike
a cruel blow.
Surrender Prayer—poem
I surrender all to you.
I surrender my life to you.
I will do whatever you want.
I will go wherever you want.
I will love whoever you ask me to love.
I will give up all my stupid opinions.
I will give up all my hopeless cravings.
I release my broken dreams.
I forfeit my planned futures.
I am at your mercy.
I will think no thought
or proceed with any action
which does not come from you
because You love me.
