You Cross My Path

You cross my path 
With your sweet, cautious words
H e s i t a n t
Unpromising 
in every step 

But your smile leaves me 
breathless 
Your touch 
Whirlwinds me
Arrows my soul
Tears my heart open 


Will a new light ever get in?

Simplove

"I feel lucky that you're here, 
looking into these old eyes"
You said 
And I felt the lucky one 
And all I could see was 
Resiliency 
And beauty 
And youth 


"I'm a simple man"
You said 
And all I ever wanted 
Is to be entangled
 in the webs 
of your
Simplicity

Optimism

When you looked at me 
You could only see 
doubts, and obstacles 
and a deep chasm

But 

When I looked at you 
I could only see 
the wide bridges 
That would get us through ...

Him

This "Him-ness" feeling 
that rumbles inside 
every time I look into his eyes 

That throb 
when he smiles 
at me
And I feel all brightened up
And safe 

This feeling of caring 
deep inside 
The miss and longing 
When he is 
Far
The Dread 
when I see him walk
Away

He's gone !

The quiet cry for 
Him 
At night 

The steady wish for his
Good 
for his happiness 

He is happy 
Elsewhere 

And my heart expands ...

Is this love?

An End Foretold

A woman who knows her heart 
met a man who knows his guard 

She was eager, burning,
Almost fervid 

He was hesitant, cautious, 
Almost pallid 

She took a step towards 
He took ten back 

Her lens was pink 
His lens was black 

She wanted to hold on
He decided to discard 

A woman who knows her heart 
Met a man who knows his guard...

Tourist

I'm a tourist in your landscape 
show me every corner 
every vein

I embrace you
with new eyes 
with heart that opens 
like a paper fan 

I walk through your landscape 

It's rocky

I'm stumbling

Timing

Thousands of miles 
with hope alone as my wings 
hurried 
Crossing many eyes, hands,
and hearts 
pushing through 
high, high I flew 
forty years of wilderness wandering 
that finally led me to 
you.

"I'm right here" 
I called, with a big sigh 
and a warm smile.
"Open the gate"! 

You glanced at the clock 
and then back at me 
"You're a little too early,
or maybe too late"...
