Light of Love – For Carine

Now that I understand the extent of your despair
and depth of your pain, chemical imbalance and
lack of care without your beloved, I can see why
your spirit feels oppressed

it has nothing to do with me or the world around
you, on a deeper level you know I cling to hope
as the only relief when I suffer while you cannot
find the life-giving power of

positive expectations as yet – but I shall pray and
meditate and hold a mental image of you happy
and safe without troubling the overpowering
darkness with the light of love

and understanding which is too strong as yet and
will only make you unhappy by creating desire for
something which still needs time to slowly, silently
develop and grow...

Eternal Duel

Nectar, I feel better, ambrosia, a place of quiet,
there is secret delight in the eye of the storm I’m
aware the dream is going on, you bow, I curtsy,
you smile, I laugh, we make another turn in the
eternal duel of retreat and advance, what a lovely
play, how wonderful a loving presence, how right
this moment frozen in time, transparent edges of
of crystallised glass, eternal blossoms forever on
the brink of full-blown blooms, how can I complain
when such sweet moments take away pain and
suddenly I am riding the stream of your thoughts?

Things Dangerous

You make me think of dances, romances,
fires burning bright and holding tight,
sharing ideals in throbbing hearts and
harmonious minds, of lips so sensitive
planting a chocolate kiss and holding it
for an eternity, making love as one con-
tinuous sensation unto infinity; a dream
too wonderful and marvellous to expose
to the light of common sense, a dream so
luminescent that only those who feel the
same spiritual need can discern it….

Nobody should be allowed to speak words
as sweet as these - I feel total delight on
reading this, my heart burns, you set fire to
everyone – oh this is beautiful, you know I
love your voice; but everything is subservient
to the ideal of perfect protection for all,
make you feel safe and secure while your
enchanting words sing melodies that melt
my heart and bring my spirit
to a standstill…

This is so marvellous, I wish I could cry
and get it over with, you make me wish...
for things that are dangerous... but my first
wish is for the safety of your heart, the sweet
principles that make you as beautiful as you are...
