i
so much love,
where does it come
from?
ii
how much sun
love winks above the
horizon, welcomes
us with a flourish of
singing from our bedroom
wall?
how much love in
spectral colors
frolicking on the
ceiling & bouncing
into our
laughter? or in the
house plants unfolding
greenly into our
hearts?
iii
this world is a
miracle & a
blessing.
touch the
fork in your hand
with your
mind.
explore the
silver metal & its
shimmering
skin.
how else can
it show that it
cares for
you?
converse with the
yellow bowl that
belonged to your
grandmother
with colors &
memories of
wonder.
the orchid has
something intimate
to tell you;
you can listen with your
eyes.
iv
a baby
smiles & your
chest opens with
longing.
as you kneel to
give your
heart,
a tug of
thanks from the yearning
hand that
wraps around
your little
finger.
v
the body
thirsts for
touch
each cell
screams out for
love
every cell
dreams of
heaven
2 bodies
locked in
sensation.
touch me
so i
can be my
self.
the starving mind is
satisfied
& 2 souls are
blessed as
one.
vi
how could any
one love
me? why should
anyone
care?
i fear & cannot
understand.
yet i am surrounded
by friends & human
angels who
cherish my
smelly self; my vomit
self; my trembling
self.
rays of love
pierce my
skin; light my
brain; caress my
heart.
there is no
escaping
love.
in a world as
beautiful as this
one, how could
we not love
eachother?
with a soul as
radiant as yours, how
could you not love
yourself?
vii
so much love,
where does it come
from?
so much love,
where does it
go?
