We are called to be
both Salt and Light,
to nourish
and shine bright;
to add needed spice
and much flavor
to Life;
to be and show
The Way,
to gently sway
while in play;
to be humble
and subtle-
yet also to sparkle;
to be of and from
The Earth,
and separate and apart-
a Shining Star
from afar
tasked to
in all ways
raise the bar.
jumping around
all upside my head
screaming
hollerin’
just plain carrying on.
“please go back to bed;
leave me the hell alone!”
i said.
you ignored me-
as usual-
instead.
determined to take over my mind;
to, again,
turn me against me,
cruel and unkind.
won’t let you, Monkey-
no, not this time!
for I am determined to see–
to see you.
to see Truth.
won’t let you drive me
back to that Abyss.
no, this time Monkey,
you will cease to exist!
i am determined to see
differently,
to be free of Monkey,
believe in me steeped in He.
to go toward the Light,
know all’s alright,
that this too shall pass,
for nothing ever lasts.
I tend to go slow,
ever slightly dipping a toe.
Rarely rolling full out,
rather feeling…asking:
is it all right
or am I tight?
Doing the due diligence,
leaning heavily on Universal Intelligence.
Looking for flow;
getting to the Know;
hearing the Soul.
Letting it marinate,
low heat, slow pace-
this Taurus’ way.
From without,
them trying to me re-arrange,
and cast shadows of deep doubt.
They say:
“Way too slow, G.
You need to heed–
gotta move, gotta now go!
Don’t you know
life’s too short-
here one minute,
the next, poof, abort.”
Yeah, but…
I am me.
Please let it be.
Don’t need more anxiety.
The Birth will come…
eventually,
organically,
when fully ready.
To each, their own.
We sing our unique songs-
some short & fast,
others slow & long.
No right, no wrong.
Where do Souls go
when in flesh no more?
How do they choose
what next body to use?
What memories of the pasts
are let go of-freed-at very last?
What unfinished business
sets the tone for the next visit?
I am
determined
to see –
to really see.
This feels like
the whole point
of my unique human journey-
to see me more clearly,
to experience the unity of we,
to grasp the oneness that is our humanity.
So much distraction to Universal Truth.
So much to unearth and uproot
within the mind,
which when ego-blind,
leads to acts violent and words so unkind.
We are in this together,
from the very beginning, each other’s keeper.
One Heart,
One Love,
One Mind,
One Body.
One Shepherd, and we, His sheep.
Now is not the time
to bitterly whine
and then fall sound asleep.
No!
Lest we will continue to reap
that which we
did not consciously
intend to sow.
I am
determined
to see,
to pray
everyday:
Lord, open wide my eyes,
cast off the crusty old lies
and the illusions
that cause hysteria and mass confusion.
Let there be Light,
only True Sight-
no more black or white.
He lays there,
soundly and peacefully
asleep-
my Muse, my Love, my Beauty.
Strong and magnificent,
a man’s Man,
vulnerable in his complete nakedness.
I, fully awake and scantily clothed,
quietly gazing, utterly enthralled,
taking Him in slowly, fully and whole.
His beautiful mane,
dreadlocked and soft,
glistening wet in the moonlight from our sweat.
His Adam’s Apple – an irresistible and tasty treat.
Those lips – full, rich, assertive and so sweet.
My Love’s nose: broad and proud!
His nostrils, gently flaring now in sleep,
do so much more aggressively
when he abandons himself in heat.
I stare at Love’s powerful arms,
responsible for my first losing my resolve,
and within which I still dissolve.
His large and elegant hands,
that of a master musician demands.
His expansive back,
a continent of its own,
I can see it in shadow,
its every muscle, prominent and toned.
My eyes longingly linger down
to that beautiful mound
smooth and round-
like a perfect peach,
each one of his cheeks.
Next: those legs –
like that of a regal thoroughbred.
Legs strong enough to
off my feet, sweep
carrying me
to this here, our bed, our sacred Sanctuary.
I go to him, My BeLoved,
drawn by forces without and within,
those of innocence and sin.
I need to touch,
to feel,
to inhale him,
to lay entwined in a quiet embrace,
to get as close as the flesh will dictate.
Souls intertwined
no matter the distance and time
elapsed
between the physical and the mind.
Namaste, we say,
each other’s Light clearly see
and then immediately retrieve
where we last left our story.
No beat missed,
no talk of business,
only laughter
born of pure, present bliss!
Effortless
seamless,
we fall back into resonance.
Creating anew
and out of the blue;
recalling the old,
all once joyously told.
This is no stranger,
this familiar unfamiliar face.
Rather a beacon of grace,
a safe space,
a peaceful place
for healing
and life-affirming
embrace.
So much commotion…
seemingly living in a world
that has forgotten the notion
of human connection
and shared emotions.
One big white truck
in Nice, innocent hundreds struck.
Police…American Black male…
over and over again the same sad story this entails.
Civil wars that destroy and displace,
cultivating great pain and unleashing raw hate.
The environment, alas, we continue to mercilessly rape.
All this, we can no longer tolerate!
For we were crafted to only connect and create.
Make no mistake,
if we continue at this deadly pace,
Earth may no longer compensate
and will need to retaliate
in order to recalibrate.
BIG BANG
NO MORE HU-MAN.
But wait!
By dint of endless, deserve-less Grace,
it’s never too late
to come back together
and reevaluate;
to begin anew
with the view
that in His Hands,
He’s got the whole world
and not just a few.
Love, You…

Now,
Love,
please hear we:
use we

each one of we
back home
unto Thee.
you’re lost in a Trance
engulfed in sweet Rapture
Altered,
delved into a completely New
inner Space
one where you Consume and then reflect
blinding Light Energy
as you Navigate
the very Depths of your Soul
releasing false Ego
and other Non-sense
filling your Cup instead
with an Equanimity, a peace
that passeth all understanding.
