Salome Dove Poem
And I miss you still
This morn at Church
the Holy Spirit was present,
invited itself, was felt
"If you need me, just call me --
and I'll come running"
Is it true or just another metaphor?
These days, it's always the latter.
A wasp or a butterfly. I can feel your presence
but I can't grasp it. A fleeting moment
Ephemeral, can never seem to hold you,
I'm not trying to. But my heart aches, I can
attest to that. And I always wonder, are you
there, just around the corner, are you this or
that or him or her? Were you really even there?
I know you care
I know you love me
So do I.
Yet, I can't & won't hide the truth:
I miss touching you, I want you so bad.
I'm no great poet, that's you. Still, I lay it
all out: When I don't find you here at the end
of the day, I'm sad. I get over it, always ...
And will again. Forever. And I
won't be seeking but I will.
Can't help but wonder if you're
There, feeling what I do.
I know there's gotta be a reason
likely another test. It doesn't
matter. Another day, another lesson.
For how long? I'm done asking. It
could be any day, or not until
the end of days. I'm done seeking,
but my heart always will --
my love will never give up, it can't.
A bond that can't be broken.
Time. Space. Irrelevant.
I know, if I just keep going the distance,
One day, you'll really be there.

Salome Dove Poem
I translated this from German to English. Which unfortunately makes it less elegant.
To share my love,
nothing more painful can I imagine,
than to tear my heart in two.
To be bound to someone eternally,
but never fully belong to him
There is neither yes nor no,
just endless desire.
To be betrayed, in the
most cruel way, is not
with the body, but
with the heart.
Chaos of emotions, Love and
Suffering have never been closer to
each other.
How will this End, no
solution in sight
With pain and tears?
I don't know
The obligation, to have to make a decision
weighs heavily on my Shoulders

Salome Dove Poem
life that knows death
and nevertheless continues
God is gracious
Grace granted after trial, mercy,
stronger than judgment
divine help that was not earned but
given
Ivo is the one preserved through death by grace
The evergreen life that survives the underworld because God has remembered it.

Salome Dove Poem
Sometimes I feel so
So damned alone in this
World... Nobody's there,
To stand by my side.
Nobody... Who says:
"you did well there!"
I am afraid of...
Losing myself - I just cannot
let that happen!
Sometimes I ask myself, I wonder:
Is it my fault?!
I don't know anymore... I don't understand it.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IT IS!!!!
AMS.
/ Why?
Why are you doing this?
You pull me into your Spell,
Love.... Is that it?
Where does it come from?
This feeling inside of me...
Is it coming from you?
Yes, I confess...
It's true, that I love you!
Please understand...
It really is so, that I love you.
For Pierre.
/ Sigh
Even if it's hard to imagine,
That I love you... And miss you...
But since I've seen you, it all was
Clear to me,... That I love you
But still will NEVER HAVE you.
I know, you are "too old" for
me.
But ever since I first saw you
I miss you!
/Ugly
Why am I so ugly?
Why do I look like such sh*t?
Why am I not a sweet little mousey?
I just sit here, and...
Dream of you.
/Longing
My thoughts are only fleeting...
Yet I know, I'm addicted
Addicted to you, yet
You are not with me anymore.
I know, my confusion can pass,
I'm just not allowed to see you again.
My nerves are on withdrawal:
My addiction is longing...
Longing for you!!!!
/Ugly
Why am I so ugly?
Why do I look like such sh*t?
Why am I not a cute little mousey?
Why can nobody stand me?
Why do all wish to avoid me?
Will you tell me... Why?
NO, You don't want to.
You just keep your mouth shut!
The last fanfare (Judgement day)
And still ...
And still, my love
My heart's on fire
Haven't learned my lesson.
Still full if fear and its sister, desire.
If you love Him, let him go
From desire, th source of fear,
I need to let go ...
I begged on my knees,
The Lord for a sign
- Not a song, never anymore,
songs only make me cry,
because you were my music, my
"why"
And the Lord had mercy
Gave me a sign
Not a map to find you
It's the burning up of the map
"Stop navigating. Vathr. Bathe, surf in the Bardo of the Albedo-
Light"
The alchemist himself spoke to me, Coelho, my sweet stray dog
"There is a hidden in-between space,
Out of sight.
It's here and now
Beyond love and desire
Like the river lazily ends in the
Sea, sometimes rushed
We are not islands in the stream
But Petals, floating
No way to steer
And content without attachment.
Whether we die or love
Love or give
Hate or receive or betray
Or hope
It all creates fear
Stop attaching
Only when thoughts are
gone
Am I here.

Salome Dove Poem
And if a thousand miles
separate us,
I am happy,
That we know each other.
Because you're one of those kinds of humans
One can never forget -
because you are something special!!
For Pierre ;)

Salome Dove Poem
I miss you
I MISS YOU (how to let go?)
Why can't I be with you?
Every day like the sunshine.
They say time heals all wounds,
But my Heart is
for all eternity to yours
Bound.
I have to comprehend,
I can't see you..
It sounds like a joke,
But to miss you this much,
It really breaks my heart!
For Pierre.

Salome Dove Poem
Remember, I am always
There for you...
And in thoughts we are
Very close...
Don't cry anymore, it will pass.
Because we will meet again...
Oh please, just laugh only once more
So shining like ...
The starlight...
Because everyone knows...
Angels
Don't
Cry.

Salome Dove Poem
If you love wealth, do not love me
For there are many who are richer than me
If you love beauty, do not love me
For there are many who are more beautiful than me
Yet if it is love that you love, only love me
For there is no one who loves you more than I.

Salome Dove Poem
I gained my sanity.
And lost my family.
They can't understand
Where or who I am
Why I begin and when I end
The price is paid
Sour taste? No.
Just serenity. It may look
like insanity,
but is not.
I am.
I am in love.
I'm with God.
