* Poems To Love Incarnate

Folder: 
Love

Unbidden come the bloombibbing bees.

*

My love for you.. a yearling became... many eons ago

*

Love... not force.... rides the horse

*

Love surrounds hate as the sea laves icebergs.

Hate is frozen Love. God is Love.

*

From 2 dynasties of love they merge into a destiny of love

*

I kneel before the heart of my Beloved..within the shrine of his soul..

*

He no longer daisy petals shreds to ask if her love for him has been shed

*

We came to a crossroads and what did we see? All directions pointing..

to his heart's infinity

*

The peony sphere has no perfume.. until she opens the petals

of her heart

*

She was baptized in water by her brother's rare tears..

baptized in fire by her mother's unshed tears

*

Love was the priest who married them.

*

Phone wires pinker glow as love reconnecting flows

*

I want to go to God on the road of you.

*

Love is a purifier more sacred than pure fire.

*

For love the model forsook the runway

From that shallow world she did run away.

Her love awaited at the airport Monday

.. and that eve they taxi'd down the runway.

*

Knowing that froggie fear was engendered by horse hooves,

Pegasus grew wings and then he rose framed by a sky

of orange pink and rose.

*

Within small circles do spiders build webs while larger

ones foil them, so the uncircumscribed heart foils lurking

danger.

*

The same God shines through the prisms of all eyes. Because

I prefer some color patterns more than others, I have

not yet achieved equal sightedness toward all God's beings

*

He aspired to be a Venutian rather than a martyr.. to follow

the path of venus' love rather than sometimes angry mars.

*

Waters to the most humble point descending..

but at the lowlying sea waters are ascending lifted by the lovelight

of the sun.

*

More precious because he'd waited so long to hear..

the most beautiful lyrics... 'I love you' in his ears.

*

The sun at their backs. Dusk's long shadow makes their

2 silhouettes one.

*

They suddenly knew they wanted to avoid pain and much trouble

by going through life as a doublebubble

*

Suddenly out of the green, pops a trillium.

Suddenly out of the blue, the ship on the horizon

Suddenly out of the purple, love's rising.

*

Lust says the whole is not as great as the part but

Love flows whole from its temple in the heart.

*

Compass needles are magnetized to the north

but compassion unencompassed in all directions pours.

*

In his heart bell hung a tong which struck every time

he caught sight of her or heard her voice.

*

At dawn the emperor sun breaks forth from the lair of mars

but in the evening he disappears behind cloud curtains

in the chamber of venus.

*

Love limited, love circumscribed, love lukewarm is by God decried.

*

A baby who lies untouched in cradle.. a child who sits

untouched in a crib.. will grow up thinking he's unlovable..

feeling he is untouchable.

*

Two puddles loved each other and became a brook.2 pools

of light loved each other and became a glow.2 hearts loved

each other and became one.

*

The love of the heart has surrounded the mind's knife of

criticism sheathing it with silence.

*

Cloud maya makes the sun appear to wink at you. But his love

is constant, not on and off.

*

Bethesda's waters healed because they never rejected any

sent to them by God.

*

Your heart is a blazing star.. sending forth infinite rays

in all directions.

*

His empathic heart is always giving command performances

*

Until we saw Linda G's sanctuary, we never thought

Noah's Ark... could be as clean as a sunwashed barque

*

She is my beloved sister and of all who come her way the assister.

*

Eventually most find that God is Universal Love

does not mean to be polygamous, polyamorous or polyandrous.

*

Arthur could remove from a stone a sword but Bea

can turn a rock liquefy with her aura and words.

*

Some human beings frighten the birds. They are animaated scarecrows,

but there are others who attract them near and far.

They are carecrows.

*

The Lord of Love laves his lilies in light.. and lets

dandelions and leaves of ivy alone to live

*

Sleeping Beauty is awake inside each being, but some of us

need the kiss of unconditional love to know we are made of love

*



Some criticized him for sharing his journal, , but most

were grateful that he had invited all into his heart

*

Roses are pink. Violets are violet. Our love for you

is forever inviolate







ACE OF HEARTS



One was queen of hearts

One was king of hearts..

but the Ace of hearts..

was more powerful than either..

attached to neither gender..

bound not by jealousy nor lust

nor neediness.



To capture all hearts,

the Ace must take the lead.



RAY MESSENGERS



As the sun sends

his rays, his

messengers of light

to announce his advent

so saints send

their thoughts of

love

as they approach.



(to Ray)



LOVE IS WATER



As waters of life

can break forth

from rock

with or without

the Moses rod

so too can

spring break forth

from winter's

Saturnine grip

and love, fountains

of youth, burst

forth from a heart

no longer old.



AMBROGIO



Wherever walks Ambrose

.. up spring amber roses

.. pouring forth

fragrance

and deathless ambrosia



Wherever walks Ambrose

.. his heart melts neuroses

.. and in their place

.. up spring new roses





(to Ambrogio Vittadini who has

translated Vedic texts

into Italian)



AMPERSAND



As the soul rises

from its cage,

its playpen of the

body, the remains

are burned

or buried in sand

.. Eternal

is the Love

.. the ampersand

.. the plus sign

.. the AND



THE MAGNET HEART



Love turns the heart

into the magnet

of all keys..

.. and forges

the keys to

all hearts...

Love is the magnet

which can find

any 100th lamb

haystack needle







JOHN FORSYTHE



In the aura of John Forsythe

blooms every jonquil

and jasmine

and even the most

recalcitrant

forsythia



MALE MOSQUITOES



Harmed by association

with their bloodier mates,

these male mosquitoes..

suck nectar..

and working with showers

they pollinate flowers..



UNDOMINANT PARENT



His children in their childhood

responded to his

controlling different ways.

One got asthma.

Another distanced.

A third was passive aggressive.

A fouth fought with him.

A 5th fantasized a kinder world.



As he healed, they were

gradually coming back to him.







UNBIDDEN



Time reveals all love

that's hidden.

In suddenness...surprise

it comes unbidden.





TOUCH LEAVES WITH LOVE



Touch leaves with love

in the summer and fall

.. to reach the tree

.. so that in her leafless

winter

she will be sure of your

love.



SLEEP CURTAIN CALL



He drops the curtain

lids on the shining play

of his eyes

but fear not

for he will raise the veil

to you his audience

in the morn



DELTA'S FIVE FINGERS



At the delta the river

reached out to the

sea with 5 blue

welcoming fingers



and she enfolded

him entire

where horizon sun lingers



BOWED HEART



His heart, bowed by suffering,

was able to shoot arrows

of love in all directions

to all hearts





LOVE REVEALING



Death, sleep, booze

rend the curtain of

maya's veiling

... the hiding

place of Love

revealing



JIM B



Thank you that

the swords of your

intellect

are always sheathed

in kindness









SUBMARINE MARRIAGE



With a ring of coral

the reef married the island

.. but kept it invisible

to the nonmarine



**



DOGS



When they're not sick

They're always cheerful

with a love

unconditional

and a silence which

invites trust.



WINNING DHARMA



All other dharmas

surrender to the dharma

of Love.

Help me God

to ape the sun

and remember

with such intention

that it is felt

to smile

at everyone..



FRIEND TO ALL



He has always been

a friend to all

no matter

what befall



(to Jack McD)







GOD IN GRAY CAT FORM



Isananda,

as a baby shot in the eye in 1990

by a hunter neighbor

     (your pregnant mother had come to

the door as a stray.. and was killed

by him)

Isananda, my little guru mother

.. teacher of love...

always faithful friend

    licking me on the arm

when I was sad...

sleeping in the bend of my knees

or when I turned.. on my back..

Little Isananda, you oiled my rusted

heart hinges.. and opened all its doors..

today you quietly slipped

from your grey fur cloak

and winged your way to God

..



(Isananda: Isa Tibetan for Jesus

Ananda: Sanskrit for Joy)



MATCH



Before he met you

he thought

marriage was swimming

in a puddle

warming himself by

a match



FROZEN FOUNTAIN



There it was.. a frozen

many tiered fountain...

love crystallized

in a time of great pain..

looking like a marriage cake

left behind ... abandoned

by the uncoupled wedding pair



but the sun had plans..

and slowly his wands touched

each cold drop.. enkindling

it to life..  first a trickling

.. then a gurgling..

and finally a pouring

of prem



HELEN



Helen.. the heart

who launched unnumbered

heartships

... ever reaching out

to those with hardship



GERMINATING IN LOVE



Intellect's seed sowers

need heart's loveshowers



EVERYONE LOVES HIM



Everyone loves him..

no matter what their politics,

religion, ethnicity..

music or movie tastes

... all beings of all hues

.. disembodied angels

and devils too





OERARCH



With loving shade

the elm, oak, pine

and larch

and with protecting

arms.. do pilgrims oerarch



RAINDROPS ON LOTUS



Raindrops jewel the lotus

leaf.. the waters of love

are above, below, and

all around



CYNOSURE OF MY EYES



More than any other he

can make me laugh.

Only he does open my heart.

Only he enkindles my mindlight.

Only he does connect me to joy.

Only he completes me.

Only near him do my eyes delight.



(this is a poem my mother might

have written to my father)



THREE HUES



Love turns

red anger and passion

into violet compassion

.. and then into

blazing light dispassion.



HEART RESEARCH



Frankensteins in dark labs

sacrifice innocent pigs

on the bloody altar of 'science'

... in 'heart research'

while others need not

study... they live

the love which pours

out of healed hearts.



(the heart of a vegan beats

at least 20 beats fewer per minute

than a nonvegetarian's... as

the heart pump is more efficient..

unblocked of animal fat)



LEAVE THE LIBRARY



Those of us who live in

our heads live in libraries.

Those of us who live in

our hearts

bask in the sunrays of love.

I must go down from the head

to the heart to go up in spirit.



WRITING I LOVE YOU IN THE SAND



Perhaps when I write "I love you" in the

sand.. the seawaves will wash it away

Perhaps if I in ignorance of tree feelings

carved all initials plus yours in bark

... a equally ignorant lumber company might chop it

down.

Perhaps if I scrawl "I love you" in chalk

passing feet will wipe it from the sidewalk...

Perhaps if I predecease you..

centuries of rain will obscure

the love message a sculptor has chiseled

on the stone of my empty grave (my ashes

having been scattered over seawaters)

but no one can erase my eternal love for

you..



(to NAL)



WE ALL NEED YOUR LOVE



As sleeping mangos containing

infinite fruit groves need

the sun's love to awaken

so do unawakened souls need

the love of others to unfold

their soulfruit gold



PATHS TO HEAVEN



Some hope on the Tower

of Babel to heaven to climb

Others aspire to ascend

on the fruitful bean vine

Still more hope to rise

in Ganesha's trunk swing

or upon the wind

of angels' woven wings

but can the heavy be heaved

into heaven?

It is love for all

which lightens us and does

the lifting Lord of Love bring





LOVE IS OMNIPRESENT



God is love Love is God

God is omnipresent

Therefore Love is omnipresent

God resides in our selfcreated

hells

A love=fashioned key

out of the cage.. is one

of His infinite presents.





THREE VEILS



Behind the curtain of waterfall

mist

is the veil of falls waters flowing.

Behind the veil of falls waters

is that of vines flowering.

Gently parting those one enters

the cave of the heart in which

the Inner Sun resides.





TRESPASSER



    Encroacher, Gatecrasher,

    Intruder, Trespasser

    ... nonwords to the Limitless

    Heart of the Master.



MAGNET RUSH



Can you tell magnets in proximity

not to rush to each other?

preach to a cataract to stop

  falling?

prevent the sun from shining?

Can you keep these 2 apart?


BILL'S WAY

To buzz
among the blooms
in all directions
is the bees' way

To blow
where she pleases
is the south wind's
breeze way

To flow to the
left and right
in arcs
is the brook way

To grow
straight to the
sun
is the tree way

To ebb and flow
forth and back
is the seaway

To follow
the dictates
of his heart
is the bill way

(to B Teodosio)

UNCANCELLED LOVE STAMP



The letter's love stamp

was cancelled

and the words inside

too were of ended love.

But there were no black

stripes on the love stamp

in a second's letter arrival

and the words inside

said the recipient had no rival



(to FC and MWC)

(J Freundschuh had a vision of

Ganesha's trunk lifting her)

Author's Notes/Comments: 

("Love Revealing" was inspired by Yeats' poem below

A DEEP-SWORN VOW

Others because you did not keep
That deep-sworn vow have been friends of mine;
Yet always when I look death in the face,
When I clamber to the heights of sleep,
Or when I grow excited with wine,
Suddenly I meet your face.

W B Yeats)

Baba Hari Das: Love
is more powerful than
lover.. for love is not
bound by form.
