THE POETRY OF THE INTIMACY OF EMBRACING ALL THAT THERE IS
Dear embracers of everything—ness….you never miss a beat…you never overlook a thing….all that comes your way is precious—and like a euphoric lover hopelessly hooked on the one they love---you show yourself to the One Above---and He does the same to you….and the view from that sacred vantage point is breathlessly beautiful----and though one might feel this is just all too much too grasp---all this everythingness---but truth be told---the intimacy of embracing all there is--- is the most profound intimacy that could possibly be—and life in it's totality will completely fall ------in love with thee-----and your reflection will constantly appear to you and to everything and everyone else ---and THIS will be your ongoing mantra---and the river of life will row your boat –and all you have to do is smile and float and watch the river flow----and surf the ocean of life's waves and allow your mouth to say the first thing that comes into your mind ---and surrender to the sweetness that you will find all of the time
REFLECTION
see your reflection;
in all that takes place
in all the faces you meet
in the love they share
in the thoughts in your mind
in the feelings you feel
in the unexpected twists and turns
in the miracles that only you can see
in the words that come to your ears
in the signs and hints presented to you
in the knowing glances surrounding you
in the subtle messages expanding you
in the fearlessness embracing you
THIS
* ***she closed her eyes to physical sight
and her thoughts began to take flight
and she could see how all that was
becomes all that will be …..
****and she leapt into a place of infinity
because there was no other place that she wanted to be
and the infinity liberated her thoughts
and her words and actions too
and it was all that she could do
from disappearing and reappearing as something new
and all the scatteredness unified
and the chaos became rectified …
****and she heard a voice
somewhere deep in the recesses of her mind
whisper to her one word and the word she heard was THIS
and she then knew that THIS is bliss
WATCHING THE RIVER FLOW
watching the river flow
everything goes
everything flows
no one knows
where it all goes
the river flows to the sea
so do we
the sea of wisdom
the sea of life
the sea of eternity
that's where we'll all be
the river knows all the secrets
of what was
and what will be
if you listen real close
you can hear the river's call
it speaks to one and all
if you listen very closely
the river is life
life is the river
and the flow
is the healing
and the secret is feeling
that this too will pass
this too will flow me
will grow me
will show me
that the flow like life
goes on forever
the river will set you free
the river will let you see
that all that that was
still is
and will forever be
WAVES
Ahhhh...to be an intuitive channel
channel-surfing all the waves
in the ocean of life
the waves!!
Can you see them now
Can you feel them now
And I constantly am surfing
through all the places
that I want to go
And all the things
that I want to do
Let me be a channel\ surfer
to articulate them to everyone
and to You ...
all the healing needs to come down
Let me be worthy enough
to be the channel
to draw the healing down
into here---
into this here and now-ness
into this time and space bliss
And all the heart feelings
that we want to channel
into this room to channel
deeply into this room
into our hearts and souls
into where I am & where I've been
and into where I am going
And all the openings
which we can see
Help me help me
Be a channel
for all those openings
All those openings
Help me see from one to another end
See from one end to the other end ..
and see a world
that never ends
to see the past, present and the future
and surf that wave
for all it's worth
I ACCEPT YOU
***I accept you
for who you are
and you accept me
for who I am
***Who can really , truly,
make such a claim?!
Especially when it's directed
towards all that G-d
sends our way?!
***Words sneak in;
like If only____
Couldn't it be like this____
Why me____?
*** I accept you for who you are...
There is no greater love
There is no greater bond
***yet... we walk down the path of life
constantly wanting
needing
yearning
for it be otherwise
*** perfect as is
is a state of bliss
for those who can dismiss
the need for it be
something other than this
and when we say to G-d
I accept You
and all that You do
then G-d says to us
I accept you too
IN THE LAND OF SUBMISSION
~~~~here in the land of submission
we are given permission
to let it all go
~~~~all the voices are in harmony
all the choices are in synchronicity
all the love is shared freely
all the smiles are given effortlessly
~~~~ and you and me
can finally see
at the dawn's rising
a realizing
of all
we have been dreaming of
Dear explorers of the extra-ordinary connections that are available to us –at every step of the---whispering to us
from Inside of the interpersonal colors that are on display---dear enchanted Gatherers of the right words to say—at the right time—let poetry and rhyme speak through you—entice you --to relate to the extra-ordinary way that you relate to one another ---allow fine wine and exotic spices to enhance your extra-ordinary connections---let your internal and external senses light up the unknown path of the heart ---listen to the echo inside of your head---and the words that are said to each other in the dead of night—-lighting up a pristine light –-inside the eyes of the one that only you are privileged to know---shining a light from deep in your souls ----showing you both the secret way you must go ---the destination known only to those who know how to exchange cryptic information—and illuminated resonations ---and other-worldly interpretations-–and intimate sensations---and you will both be able to enhance endlessly, magically, effortlessly your extraordinary connection
AN EXCHANGE OF WORDS
**when they first met
she knew who he was
just by the way that he spoke his words
**and he knew that the way
that she spoke restored sanity
to his chaotic world
**and she knew
that the answers he spoke
in response to her questions
would transform her life
from trouble and strife to calmness and peace
**and he knew
that when he told her
all that he's going through
her words of prayer would pull him through
**and she knew that his holy words
created holy vessels and angel's wings
and could turn anything into holy beings
THE ECHO
***in tune ...
that's what the echo
inside of his head said
***in tune
with life's unraveling melody
inside of him
alone with no one to bother him
but nevertheless
he did realize
that there was someone
someone he never knew
who was listening
someone he never knew
even existed before
and his soul kept calling out for him
to reach out
[*and the soul is such a subtle voice
most people can't hear it at all*]
but the inner call was insisting
and he gave up resisting ***and he sent out a cry
from the depths of his life
and the cry came from a place of limitless love
and timeless yearning
and a passion
that has never stopped burning
in a hidden place inside of him
even before he could recall when
and the cry echoed
from one side of humanity
to the other until one special one
---- one he never knew before
came knocking at his door
and with mystifying grace
shook him out of his comfort place
***and she told him
that she has waited for his cry
since the beginning of time
and for rest of their lives
all they could do
was to try to realize
the unfathomable miracle
that had reached out to them
right on time
HER EYES ARE A WINDOW INTO HIS SOUL
**Her eyes were a window
Though which he could see
Into his soul
** Only in her eyes
Could he see a place called Beyond
a place called Birth
a place called Paradox
a place called Infinity
a place called Ratzon
a place called Passion
a place called Benevolence
a place called Consciousness
**And when her eyes looked
into his eyes
she could see all the places
she has been before this life
and all the places she will be
after this life
and all the places
that can only be seen
in this life
to one who knows
that his eyes
are the window to her soul
THE LANGUAGE OF RESONATION
**and when the words
rolled across his tongue
and reverberated upon his lips
he knew whether it was going to be this
that he prayed for
or something else altogether
**resonation
a language we need
to get through our day
to see underneath the words that people say
a language that shows us the way
at least that's the gut feeling
I have discovered when I peeled back the layers
and stopped listening to the nay sayers
**resonation
there are no graduation ceremonies but I have a reason to believe
that this is the mechanism that will conceive
a future illumination a future education
a world-wide dedication to it's mastery to it's majesty
come with me if you dare
FROM THE SILENCE –I CALL TO YOU
from the silence
from the utter pristineness
of the holy silence
from the untouchable sereneness
of the knowing silence
from the crystal clear cleanness
of the sanctified silence
from the unknowable mystique-ness
of the unending silence
I call to you and when I do
the words that come through
touch the deepest part of you
REFLECTION
All he longed for was to have another glance at her other worldly beauty
All he could see was her silent mystique,
All he could taste was her other worldly allure,
All he could think of was her untold depths
All he wanted to know was who she really was
All he saw at all times of day and night was her reflection in everything
All he desired from morning till night was to bask in her light
All he dreamed of when he lay down was the time when she would be with him
All he wanted in life was for her to agree to be his wife
All he experienced when he saw people's eyes –was hers staring back at his
And his love
Was so powerful
That she and he
Became one
Immersed in a love
That few could believe
could actually be so profound
And no one
Could stay the same
Nor remain unchanged
Whenever these lovers came around
SHE MAKES YOU COME ALIVE
***she makes you come alive
she extricates you
from your real
and imagined
chains
she is a vision
constantly waving at you,
enticing you
at the edge of your consciousness
compelling you from afar
to have a closer look
to jump into the bliss
of her allure
of her demure
***and upon further investigation
into the imagination
of her wonder-filled-ness
that's when you realize
that the original deepness
that you thought that she possesses
was only a drop in the sea
of the multi-dimensional reality
from which she sees everything
but she hides it all from view
and lets you think
that the real attraction is you
***the point is this;
when someone lets you know
that your words
and your thoughts
and your heart
and your soul
allows them to be
enables them to see
that's when you realize
that it is actually she ,
and not me ,
who holds the key
who holds all the keys
to set you free
IN THIS PLACE
***in this place we only want to connect, to bond, to fuse, to interconnect, to unify all of the scatteredness to transform all of the partial-ness into wholeness
***in this place we are sanctified and right and left, and dark and light, and day and night and heaven and earth all come together forever
***in this place we say yes instead of no. we say go don't stop ever
***in this place we need nothing we are complete what we have once concealed is now revealed we can see clearly that the Moon unites with the Sun and that two become one
SENSES
Senses all ignited
Aligned with soul
Aligned with yours
Aligned in perfect Interconnection
**He sees the texture of her touch
With a low bass-drum beat
Beckoning him to come close
**She hears the color of his aura
With encompassing light
Igniting her imagination
**He smells the familiar sounds
Of her knowing glance
Recognizing that her place is here
By his side
**She touches the aroma of his love
That softly sends forth
A waft of a scented trace
That hints of a longed-for embrace
**He hears the visions of old
Daring him to be so bold
To ask her to take a chance
And join him in the sacred and ancient dance
AWAKENED
***He says to her "You have awakened me In every way Possible, My love"
***And she says to him, "I imagine you When you are not here And it awakens me In every possible way"
***And he says to her, "When you are here By my side, All of the sounds and sights Of the World Serenade us both In rapturous harmony
***And she whispers to him, "When you are Here with me, Our Heavenly and earthly beings Intertwine in bliss
And we become Awakened To the wonder and oneness Of it all
***Then they touch Each other's soul Lightly Passionately Lovingly
TRANCE
**And the exchange begins
His words
Her response
**Allure sets in
Her glance
His blush
**A short silence Is broken
By breathing
Hers
His
Theirs
**The dance is made up of Semi-dances
Quasi-dances
**All are Preparations
All are interpretations
All are Intoxications
All are dances of Romance
** And the trance sets in
Deep into their bones
Penetrating their defenses
**and they know
That their Trance dances
Are only a fore-taste
Of the ultimate dance to come
When their dance will show these two
How to become one
NOTHING STANDS IN THE WAY OF DESIRE
~~~~~'nothing stands in the way of desire'
these were the words she told herself
when she realized
that the walls that she had built herself
had blocked her life
from the view of anyone new
only the few and far between
would she ever let in
~~~~nothing stands in the way of desire
but what was her true desire?
she needed to know
because she was in dire straits
because he was waiting at her front gate
and he didn't seem to want to go away
what did she want
and what was she to do?
all that she had to hold on to
was the way she had gotten herself used to
since who knows when
to keep her safe outside and in
but now an auspicious sign
a rare find was knocking at her door
to let him in
'please let me in'
were the words he whispered ,
but with intensity
this stranger full of mystery
and allure
she wasn't sure what to do
because for the first time
in a very long time
someone very special
was knocking on her door
and asking her for more
~~~~~and she dove in deep inside to her desire
to the desire inside of her desire
and she felt a holy fire
begin to ignite her
inside and out and she let out
a silent shout
from the depths of her being'
because she was now seeing
who she was
and what she truly desired
and so she stepped outside
and opened up the door
unafraid anymore
and she never felt higher
now that she knew
that nothing stands in the way of desire
THE POETRY OF UNION
Dear deepest seekers….farthest reachers….clearest knowers….constant go-ers--- into the realm of the One ---there is nothing or no one else ---all else pales in comparison ----and the Sun and the Moon stop what they are doing --- and lend an hear to try to hear every word that is spoken here in this sacred gathering ---because everyone knows [at least potentially] that the culmination of this intimacy –is to arrive at the shores of the One----to say right out loud –that you are the only one I know---there is nowhere else to go….and when you do –then what comes into play---is a most magnificent display ----a drive to re-unite---to reunite here and now in the anonymous night ---where everyone sets their sites on the oneness---the oneness evolving from the unconsciousness into full consciousness---and all of existence joins in the celebration---and all separation disappears ----a full integration occurs-- inside of this most profound unification
YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE I KNOW
there is nowhere else to go
you are the only one I know
your words are truth
they soothe my soul
they draw me to you
like the dark to the light
when it realizes the difference
between wrong and right
and when I realize that I am nothing at all
that's when I begin to hear your call
and all I want is you
no one or nothing else
will do
and I've come from so far away
to be here with you
every day seemed liked years
to get past my deepest fears
and now I am here
there is no place I'd rather be
to me now this is crystal clear
please take me with you
into your endlessness
into your eternity
into your infinity
there is no place I'd rather see
nor will there ever be
AN UNSTOPPABLE NOTION
a seed that set into motion
an unstoppable notion
that brought us
to the same time and space coordinates
in a seemingly ordinary way
but anyone with eyes can see
that the extra-ordinary is what was at play
there can be no other way
to explain this magnificent display
and this unconscious drive to reunite
is what guided us though the darkest nights
and our ultimate harmony
I eventually come to see
is what was driving me
our electricity is what was inspiring me
to go beyond what I never knew could be
but now I know
as you sit here beside me
THE UNCONSCIOUS DRIVE TO RE-UNITE
long lost souls in the anonymous night
generations and reincarnations of endless flight
and yet here we are
amidst myriads of stars
and providential circumstances
from near and far
and we were simultaneously
selecting a path
a selection composed of hidden inclinations
all carefully engineered
by the One who sees and hears
all there is to see
with ultimate grace and delicacy
and He's hiding these revelations
from the likes of you and me
but fully aware in His conscious way
of the seed that He planted inside of us
firmly embedded into our unconsciousness
THE MOMENT OF UNION
the moment of union
when all existence unites inside
all yearning
all suffering converges
and what emerges
is the realization
that there is only love everywhere
embracing us face to facing us
if we'd only close our eyes and see
what only the celebrators of synchronicity
the inner sanctum partakers of unity
can see
NO SEPARATION
no separation
complete integration
he and she embracing the mystery
intertwined in perfect harmony
a kiss of bliss
sinks them deep into an altered state of consciousness
since she receives from him completely
he perceives what she needs to be
and reaches deep within
to reveal to her what has been hidden
for what seems like forever
she sees him in the now
and how his past got him here
and how the now
will lead him into his future
he shows her –her special quality
and how that quality
is exactly what he
and everyone else needs to be
complete
she knows that all his victories
are her own
and all his falls
call out to her urgently
to make it all be ok again
and all that separates them
from each other
they share with one another
until they realize
that there is no other one
for each other
and that all the separation
is just a figment of their imagination
an opportunity to truly see
that they are truly the other half of each other's reality
and they slowly but surely
turn the me into we
and this becomes the way
they perceive reality
eternally
AN EXCHANGE OF WORDS
**when they first met
she knew who he was
just by the way that he spoke his words
**and he knew that the way
that she spoke restored sanity
to his chaotic world
**and she knew
that the answers he spoke
in response to her questions
would transform her life
from trouble and strife to calmness and peace
**and he knew
that when he told her
all that he's going through
her words of prayer would pull him through
**and she knew that his holy words
created holy vessels and angel's wings
and could turn anything into holy beings
THE POETRY OF INTIMACY VULNERABILITY AND FULL DISCLOSURE HEALING
dear secret seekers of the healing that can only be found when the walls come tumbling down...when the full disclosure of one's essence ---as vulnerable and scary as it may feel ---is the only way to know someone ------to intimately show someone [including ourselves] who we really are -----and this knowing ---G-d Willing --perhaps--- will lead us back to the knowing that Adam and Eve sought out --in the right time and place and way -------in their search for Eden...let the poetic intimacy, vulnerability and full disclosure healing begin...
FULL DISCLOSURE
**they've learned to speak
a new language
an articulation
of full disclosure
**those days of hiding and fear
are finished and over
now there's no holding back
**their new-found sentiments are creating fresh new tracks
in the virgin snow
in places they've never known
**there's no longer anything
separating her from him
as if it's always been this way
and yet
it's the start of a brand new day
**for the water to truly purify
there must be nothing
separating the body from the water
**for true love to be shared
there must be nothing separating
his soul from hers
WHO AM I TO YOU?
...who am I to you?
asks the timid searcher
in the mirror
[pretending it's her listening]
....He knew
that there would
come a time
when she
would be there
listening to him
drinking in his words deeply
searching his eyes
for the truth
of their timeless connection
[despite the impossible circumstances
that distanced them in this sober reality]
. ....because there comes a time
a 'now or never time'
an 'it's worth the chance of rejection time'
a 'power of vulnerability time'
a 'loss of words time'
a ' certainty that this is destiny time'
TAKING A CHANCE
...and the girl looks up
for the first time
in what seems like years
....and a tear sneaks it's way
down her cheek
and somewhere
off in the distant past
you can hear
a silent scream
...and it seems like
it's too late
for all that now
it seems like
she tried to warn us
but we couldn't
and wouldn't listen ....
...and the pre-dawn song
of a thousand morning birds
attempted to sweeten up
the atmosphere
thanks all the same
but the game
was up
and she had
to move on from here
....but then suddenly
she looks into his eyes
and all at once
they realize
that it's never too late
all closed doors
can be opened
if only you want
them to
....and the girl has learned
a new song
and dances
a new dance
and the slightest smile
almost unnoticeable
raises up
the corner tips
of her hardened lips
and she says
, I'll trust you
you trust me
I'll take a chance
will you?
THE PERFECTION OF IMPERFECTION
**body and soul
left and right
lacking and filling
in and out of the Garden
the heels of Mashiach
it was evening and it was morning
the darkest hour before the dawn
the transient and the eternal
**can you see the pattern?
do you understand
the task at hand?
to be a human
woman or man
one must stand up
to the fleeting cheating demeaning
curve balls of fate
and enter into
the gates of light
and know
that not only
is this all right
but it is the quintessence
of perfect
**because the defect
is the price of admission
and the only way in
is through complete submission
to the awareness
that all that seems wrong
is life's greatest song
and the only way
that you can sing along
is when you know
that perfection's password
is imperfection
and imperfection
is the only road
that leads to perfection
DARING TO SHOW YOUR INNER TRANSPARENCY
***showing yourself
to the world
daring to show
your inner transparency
just because you know
that this 'knowing'
is your destiny
'and your legacy
***Don't worry
let the words
flow freely
they really take on
a life of their own
you do not own them
nor do they own you
they are just
passing through
through a vessel
they feel they know
through a being
of light
that lights up life
with the gift of knowing
***and when
he and she
decided
to show
each other
their inner transparency
that became the moment
that they discovered
true intimacy
that is the moment
that they set themsee
