Hi love,

I look forward to you coming to me and telling me your story… whether it’s old or new. I feel so excited to listen to you and to see you. This is how I feel.

and when you come to me and tell a story from your heart… when you speak from that place…  I’ll feel it.

and I want to feel all of you — your heart …

… but do I know?

I do not ask for your love —
to love me.
You choose the love in me —
because you deserve it.

… at You

… and just for now, at this very moment,
I’ll take everything I see,
everything I feel… as mine.

to love is simple …

before you know what love means— you can just love first,

Hello, stranger

Your words drip out in rhythms of hollow.
Breath you’ve swallowed.
Your mind — shallow … and I? …

if you love me, let it be today …

If you love me,
let it be today —
not from fear of loving me,
but because you welcome me to stay.

Dear May,

Remember love,

The Gift

How does it feel?
to be unseen, unheard —
by the one you once, perhaps, fully loved?

i am me. if you wish to know me …

… i am me. if you wish to know me.
what you see is what you get …

‘Shine’

Arthur is the heart
Marcus is the mind

‘Alive’

… in all the ways your body — feels …

Queen of Hearts

“… the king may choose his woman or his bride— with surprise, or with disguise, with whatever cost of price …”

The Offer

… while I’ll be your May, will you be my June?

What interest me …

… while I’m in my love as a lover of life, my interest is in you, as the greatest fan of your life

The Calling

… and the dancing flame — we witness its color, but the call is to me — to witness your colors

Am I close enough to you …

… tell me, what are you afraid of? to fall? to break? to get hurt? to fall out of love? or to love again?

Will you … ?

… but oh, love, you’re so free to choose

First of May

I wake to the blessing of fresh drops, flooding through the cracks of this breaking heart — the heart is opening

‘Love Happened’

A Pause

… in a gaze, we see, we connect,
but only in the truth do we truly meet

The Sinking Sun

… rise to fall — where did I come from, and where am I going? between the beginning and ending — where am I existing?

F R I D A Y

… love resides in Forgiveness
Remarkably for its givingness …

from May to June

… a cup of tea I made, sweet taste of Valentine’s

This morning, I’m sitting by the balcony — the tree reaches out to me, and a little bird is nesting near the tip of its longest branch. I saw the other one in the days before, calling out, inviting me to greet them. It’s been raining… and they’ll have to face storms these days — but this morning, they’re still here, singing their song, and the world listens.
