Surrendering

Her heart is open
her womb orgasmic
dancing
to the heartbeat
of Mother Earth’s inner core

She stands naked
In the morning sun
Exposing her
All
And everything

Awestruck
by her own surrendering
full and complete
she lets herself
crucify

Her heart calls
to his
in ache
and longing
for an even deeper opening

Like the ocean
builds up her next wave
he sings to her
he holds her
and as her heart connects to his

He shows
no hesitation
no waver
no mercy
his direction is set

And then insistently
he penetrates
her body
and
her heart

Again
And again
over and over…

With nowhere
to hide
no other possibility
than to surrender
even more deeply

She lets herself fall
into
the immortality of love
into
the allness of the Universe

And as his love
flows into her heart
she brings it with her
letting it flow from her heart
and into every heart she encounters

Keeping the feeling
of the longing to surrender even more deep
than her heart knows is possible
making her able to open
to the allness of eternity

Old lover

I met my old lover today
I did not know
I’d missed him so

Not until
I opened my heart
Did I realize how brokenhearted I’d been

Like Leonard Cohen
I’d tried to be free

The anticipation of
This day to come

The busy feet taking you
Here and there

The broken plastic cup
Taken by the wind
In front of city hall

The homeless soul
On the corner of
Misery and pure freedom

The colored lights
Of orgasmic hope
Glittering in my eyes

My old lover
I didn’t really think of you that often
I must admit

I guess I was stuck in
Days eating up days
For breakfast, lunch and dinner

Yet longing underneath
Blankets of make-believe

Like a writer in a bar
Smoking cigarettes, drinking whiskey
I have tried in my own way to be free

In all these years
I smiled through the tears in my eyes
That you never saw

But now I met you once again
My old lover
Copenhagen

And the tears broke free
And I swear by this poem
That I’ll try to stay free

Like Leonard Cohen’s bird on a wire
Like the openhearted few

The marbled Angel touched my mind 

Across the room 

I saw myself 

Reflected in the 

Pale green 

Eyes of yours 

And in the time 

Between 

Two heartbeats

The marbled Angel

Touched my mind 

I loved you 

For your beauty

Raw and crooked 

I  loved you 

For your body

Smooth and strong 

It doesn’t 

Make me wrong 

I felt like carving 

Till I set you free 

The winter night 

Is fragrant 

With the expectations 

Of a hungry kiss

With the quiet 

Drops of heartbeats 

Synchronizing 

Like the perfection

Of the Swan Lake 

Unfolding before my eyes

Let me dance you through any crime

The soft whisper
In the crispy snowy night
Makes my feet make the sound of a lisper
Color almost like an egg white
And the words you say by the moonlight
They just hang there all so bittersweet
In the air of the frozen winter’s heartbeat

Stuck in the place
Stuck
Between that tiny space
What happened to us being moonstruck?
Have I become nothing more than a lame duck?
Why do you wanna tame my wild heart?
And let me kill the freedom that you chart?

Please little darling
Let me drink the wisdom of your life
And so you shall sing like the starling
Songs of both the joy and the strife
Let us be the childbearing woman’s visit to the midwife
Let us be the giant hunter of Orion
And the Promised Land of Zion

Let us be
Like cowboys lassoing wild horses on the Great Plains
And ballet dancers’ graceful strength of doing the Grand Jete
Let us take off all the chains
And stop pissing on each other’s domains
Play me to the end of time
And I will dance you through any crime

Maybe she is magic

He looks at her

Like maybe she is magic

Maybe she is

He the connoisseur of her soul

 

On slow Sunday mornings

As God rays hit

Her hair on the pillow

 

He plays her music

His heart on fire

Her lips calling to his

 

He leaps

Into her breathtaking depth

Of compassion, love and mystery

 

Open to him

In all senses

She offers him

Her deep feminine beauty of radiance

Nothing to prove but love

If we had nothing to prove but love

We might sit on the Santa Lucia Mountains

On the coast of California

Breathing in the rolling, dome shaped mountains

And wildflowers blooming

As you watch sea otters rafting in kelp beds through my eyes

And the waves of the pacific batter the rocks

But as we restrain ourselves in the name of perfection

We find ourselves

Chained to and starring into the wall of a cave

Our wretched minds contort

Our imagery of grass is greener

Our betrays and lies in the holy name of All we ever wanted was everything

Did we but travel through

The long and uncomfortable road

To nothing to prove but love

Where you would see me

Even when I don’t project

The last woman you were in love with

Where you would see me

Even when I don’t project

The next woman you think you’ll love

Where you would see me

For whom I am

The sea otter rafting in the kelp beds

The pacific wave battering the rocks

The wildflower blooming on the side of the road

Then we could say in our hearts

We will ascend to heaven

We will sit on the Mountain of Assembly

In the recesses of the north

And we fear not the crooked teeth of the drunken dancer

Or the wrinkles in the fragile face of ageing

Nor do we fear the hysteria of a moment

Because now we learned to laugh at ourselves

Now we free felled through the hole of our fears

And now we have nothing to prove but love

El sur grande

Did you come home from Afghanistan?

A F G H A N I S T A N

The last I saw
Was all the dreams and all the hopes
In those pretty blue eyes
Confidently going to change the world
It was a rotten deal
Beware of all the mines
The sun was shining as you waved goodbye on the bus

Putting on my poker face
Everyday dealing the hand of
Keeping up facades

Days slowly going by
Eating up months
While I wait for the
Men in black
Knocking on my door
Handing me the folded flag

Will I ever see
Into this deep blue ocean
Of dreams and hopes?

Sing to me, little Darling
Sing my worries away in the night
Sing my fears away in the day
Sing when I wait for the
Men in black
Keep singing to me
While you’re away

They never came
To my door
Knocked on someone else’s

You came back
Everybody knows
You came home
All fine
Legs and arms intact
But it’s a scheme
To keep up the illusion

‘Cause you never came home
And everybody knows
How it goes
The deal was rotten
We met each other
In relief
Finally, the storm had passed

But the boat was leaking
The song was fading and
Men in black approaching

Our lips once again kissing
Finding each other in utter relief
Like the mother finding her lost child
Our bodies once again hugging
Longing for the familiar softness
Yearning for the once upon a time love

We tried
We really did
We know we did

All we find is a black hole
The terror in the eyes of castaways
The ache we feel
Is written here in blood
As real and actual
Like a stillborn baby
Dreams and hopes shattered
With the snap-of-a-finger

Just like that
We find ourselves in the place
Where death needs a shoulder to cry

With the gun of war
We kill us
Like little feet
That come and go
Sometimes you come back
Sometimes you don’t
The deal was rotten

I am a wild woman

I am a wild woman
Eating stars for breakfast
Swimming in the morning dew of pussy willows

How will you touch my breasts?

If you treat my form as divine
Touch me as a sacred incarnate of infinite spirit

How will you kiss me then?

Honey, let me tell you
Be your fearless loving
Your unshakeable purpose

Show me your humor and spontaneity
Surprise me
Give your love as your existence

Love me as the cosmos love:
One loving itself as another
Yet remembering itself as One

Open my heart
And make love to me
As if you were a saint

Love every being through me
Love the entire world through me
Love all there ever was and will be through me

Make love to me
With no expectations, no fear, no waiting for something different, something better, someone prettier…

Make love to me as if you look death straight in its eyes
Make love to me as if your next heartbeat is your last

Die in each moment
To all there ever was

Your total presence and sensitivity
Make me trust you entirely

And I know you will stop at nothing
But bring me to new places of love

This will
Let me go wild and be free

As the wild woman I was to born to be
Eating stars for breakfast
Swimming in the morning dew of pussy willows

I loved you long before I even met you

I loved you long before

I even met you

In the doorway

You said your name

And lifted the curtain

 

A low hum

A quiet certainty

A deep comfort

A slow night

A thousand kisses deep

 

The years

Have melted all away

I was a stranger

But I remember you

Like yesterday

 

I know you

Like children in the morning

Like rain on the window

Like butter on bread

Like hot coffee on a cold winter morning

 

When you speak, my words come aloud

When you look, I see

When you think, my thoughts become clear

When you drink, I taste

When you fall asleep, my eyes close

 

You were in me

All along

 

The yin to my yang

The light to my dark

The feminine to my masculine

Separated

But once we were one

 

As we explore the energy we share

And dance

The familiar yet unfamiliar

Radiance

We share

 

We look into the mirror

And see only

One

You see me in the face of me

I see me in the face of you

 

It’s four in the morning

On the first day of something new

You leave without a goodbye

It’s something in between

And deals death to the soul

 

Dance me through the panic

Dance me gently in love

Dance me very long

Dance me on and on

Dance me to the place between time and space

And let me rest at the tip of your eyelids

 

Touch me with your naked wounds

Touch me with the secrets that you hold in the back of your mind

Touch me with the sweet taste of your lips

Touch me with the wisdom on your heart

Touch me with the rhythm of your soul

 

Let me kiss your demons

Let me calm you with my gaze

Let me breathe your pain

Let me enter the threshold to your sorrows

Let me drink it all in

 

It was all an illusion

You were in me

All along

We lost our grip and then we slipped

Into the masterpiece

Once upon a time…

Let me tell you

What it feels like

To be left out

 

Once upon a time

There was a little girl

Her green eyes the passway to the star of Sirius

Her little hands painting the magic of the Universe

Through her All was One and One was All

 

Let me tell you

What it feels like

To be left out

 

Once upon a time

There was a little girl

Inside a voice softly caressed her whispering

Who are you to think you are magical?

Who are you to think you are All?

 

Let me tell you

What it feels like

To be left out

 

Was it the innocent words of ignorant boys

Spoken to a girl uncomfortable in the shape of her growing body

Too fast

Too tall

Too weird?

 

Or was it the voice inside her head

Going from soft and caressing to insisting and persuading

Penetrating her Open Heart

With its sophisticated and exquisite

Play of Chess?

 

Let me tell you

What it feels like

To be left out

 

Checkmate!

 

Once upon a time

There was a little girl

Who got caught up in the maze of her own mind

Lured into the Gingerbread house of Hansel and Gretel

Caught in a cage with Nāga

 

Let me tell you

What it feels like

To be left out

 

One day

She got up and out of the corner of the cage

Breathed into her belly

The passway to the star of Sirius

The magic of the Universe

Once upon a time

There was a little girl

Who fiercely looked the cobra in his eyes

And in the space between his hiss

And her realization of the illusion

 

In that space where all is

Without time

She caught her hidden wisdom

The death of who she had become

The death of whom she thought she was

 

Let me tell you

What it feels like

To be left out

 

Once upon a time

There was a woman

Transformed with the speed of light

Into something new that was in fact really old

Directed her to whom she already was

 

Who she had always been
