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

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.

In his heart bell hung a tong which struck every time
he caught sight of her or heard her voice.

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

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

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

Love turns the heart
into the magnet
of all keys..
.. and forges
the keys to
all hearts...

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.

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

At the delta the river
reached out to the

was able to shoot arrows
of love in all directions
to all hearts

the swords of your
intellect
are always sheathed
in kindness

With a ring of coral

unconditional
and a silence which
invites trust.

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)
3 hues
3 veils
ace of hearts
ambrogio

bill's way
delta's five fingers

(J Freundschuh had a vision of
Ganesha's trunk lifting her)
