I fell out of grace



I fell out of grace,

into the arms of a lover today,

fell out of grace,

but in her arms,

as she paved the way.



I fell out of grace,

upon my feet of clay,

but I did not dismay,

not with this lover being with me,

for tomorrow and all my todays that are yet to be.



I fell out grace,

but upon the wings of another was I held aloft.



How wonderful it is,

to have a lover… Continue

The Dark Corner

The shadows cover my weary eyes,



As I lay wrapped in this shroud of grief.



His words have cut open my heart



And tears spill forth



Like the river in the night.



He's slammed the door for now,



How I miss him



But dread his return.



Why do you hate me so?



Can we go back to the days



When I touched your hand



For the first time?



When I looked up at you



With… Continue

The Great Priceless Perks of Human Interaction

(Jepson Center for the Arts seen through tree branches. Photo courtesy of Flickr.com)





The primary objective of a book signing might be to sell books but one of the great priceless perks of such events is the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. So it was Sunday, July 27, when I signed copies of ELEMENTAL The Power of Illuminated Love (along with the title’s co-creator… Continue

I ran my hands through



Yes...



I ran my hands through her,

on that day that was once a future,

now a past.



Yes...



I ran my hands through her hair,

ran my locks through her despair,

curls of locks remaining,

but sadness untangled,

leaving islands of stars,

stares of my care.



Yes...



I ran my hands through her prism of soul,

the soul that was careening beyond her… Continue

Swung and Swayed



Swung slowly on the dance floor,

head raised just above her pillow of shoulder,

as my head and hers simmer with smoulder.



Swung to the slow, soft beat,

of a soft love song,

that with our dancing,

became complete.



Swung her heart to mine,

when her hips met mine.



Swung her lips to me,

when she closed her eyes,

sharing in our lips advance,

loves nectar of… Continue

When should I be fragile?

When should I be fragile?

When should I let that defense of me melt,

to let in the pain of another,

suffuse and be with me?



When should I be fragile?

When should I let the suns rays clasp me,

and the moons rays enfold me in the night?



When should I take on another's fright?



I shall be fragile for those who need me to be,

and yet will take upon themselves their own responsibility.



I shall be fragile for those who will also… Continue

Traffic of the soul



Stood on an island,

traffic around my soul;

life throbbing around me,

nearly out of control.



Stood out on that island,

so close to the edge of the sea,

so cautious in my evaluation,

of which stream of life,

was meant for me.



I had not stood out in standing there,

saw so many other souls on islands,

looking with such great care,

to find which stream was theirs,

lest that… Continue

That bird...



That bird



...that I crushed,

when I clasped my hands in prayer that day...



I thought I totally crushed this bird,

you see,

but its' wing was merely frayed,

as it errantly flew away,

seeking food for another day.



That bird that I thought I crushed,

opened my heart in its supposed death,

to things that I could now see.



Now I look upon that bird,

which has returned… Continue

I kissed her rose



I kissed her rose,

her beauty divine,

the rose of her care,

that blooms in the deserts,

where my pain does hide,

until I see her rose has bloomed,

at the sight of my inner beauty.



I kissed her rose,

saw the rain glisten on petals,

a shower of love that took away the pain,

the pain of loneliness' disdain.



I kissed her rose,

when I closed my eyes,

the scent overtaking… Continue

Can't apologize

Can't get agony to apologize,

for the agony that it caused me.



Can't apologize to myself,

for you not apologizing to me.



Can't apologize to my own soul,

for not breathing heavy sighs of loves ecstasy,

for this is something beyond my control.



I won't apologize for anything,

you see,

that is beyond my responsibility,

and I will just continue being me,

and defining myself,

by feeling love,

in hopes of setting myself… Continue

Walking with you in my heart

Let me walk with you in my heart,

take that pain of all the world apart.



Let me walk with you in my soul,

take you out of that dark night,

in which you had wept beyond control.



Let me breathe with you,

the fresh air of life newly found,

in which no unnecessary pain has abound.



Let me see with you,

take away that artificial rose colored hue,

to show you the beauty of the world,

this beauty that is has,

because in… Continue

Our Bell Tower

Im living in my village since almost 50 years (with a break of 7 years) and last week , at least , I had the opportunity to climb on the tower of our church.

There are no windows , only narrow slots for a little light , but we could see the bells and the old clockwork, which is not used any more. Unfortunately it was not possible to climb till to the only window, to have a look over the valley.

There are 6 bells, the oldest is more than 700 years old and the biggest ist 2000 kg . The… Continue

Love on the moon



Made love to her on the moon,

through the pearly gates of white.



Made love to her on the moon,

thrusts announcing themselves to crystal clear heavens,

our sound of love so powerful,

they carried even through that eternal vaccum of the night.



Made love to her on the moon,

underneath the pure,

and star studed sky.



Made love to her on the moon,

as comets chased each other,

and… Continue
