love's enduring nature

the veil of love is thin...

if ever i should go...if ever i should be taken away from you my love, please listen for me in your ear as whisper and in your heart as quickening, for i will be loving you still, from behind the veil, i will be loving you and believing in you always...inspiring and celebrating you...urging you onward, upward and inward on your soul's journey to be free. i will travel the distance and find you again, our souls forever united as God's love, existing beyond time, beyond space.

the fabric of love is never broken...follow the thread home to me, home to thee.
amen.

This Hour of Beauty

My heart is

Overwhelmed

With the fullness

The utter brilliance

Of this Love

Of God’s Love

Born between us

A man and a woman

Face to face

Naked, humble

Revealed

Eyes locked

On one another

And the reflection

Of God’s Love

In our eyes

My heart aches

With love for you

I see you everywhere

Love’s holy gaze

Lives in my eyes now

Longing is my existence

And Love my home

You have come to me

In this hour of beauty

Offering your self

As gift, as blessing

My heart cries

In sweet agony

Breath catching

In my chest

Yes, Love

We are becoming new

Healing the past

Creating our future

Spiraling, yet rooted in
Love’s precious present

Can I withstand

The constant stream of

Love infusing my existence now?

Our loving is

Connected to

The source

Of the Source

A soul reconnection

And you Beloved,

Are the link

The sacred flame,

The Divine has chosen

To bring my

Soul home

Everything has

Changed…

Is changing

I surrender

All to the All

I surrender myself to

This Love

Oh Darling

How can I ever

Share my gratitude,

My heart’s elation

For your presence?

For your life?

I will spend my life loving you,

Donating this love in service

To others,

To the One Beloved

My heart holds

Yours now,

God holding us now
Our hearts,

A place of prayer.

And I know,

Like I know,

Like I know,

That I will

Love you

Forever.

Amen.

ultimate vulnerability

full exposure
no withholds in this love
that is the price
for sacred romance
we wonder why
why is it the flame
of passion
flickers and fades
we wonder why
the Beloved's face
has suddenly changed
we know
somewhere within us
we know
when we stopped revealing
our precious tender hearts
when the voice of fear
took over
the filtering
the editing
the masking
i vow to be different
i long for a new way of love
complete transparency
ultimate vulnerability
full surrender
of all that is whole and holy
of all that is fearful and fragmented
to the Divine Lover
to mend us my Love
to tend us in Love
to wash from us
the nightmares of the past
i want to lay down
in the ocean of God with you
and stare into the diamond
starry sky
i want to be lulled in love
held in love
i want it to be real
i want you to be real
how many times have
i misjudged,
or was it projection
attracted that which
i want not
can it be here now
a miracle of a new beginning
for you
for me
what if you stick a needle in your arm
what if you wander away
lost in your addiction
what if your hungry place
becomes ravenous
and you reach out
for someone else
for something else
what if i am your
mistaken idea
delusional fulfillment
of your own wholeness
what if
what if
what if
this love was new
whole
grounded
playful
sexy
hopeful
honest
joyful
freeing
devoted
passionate
prayerful
what if
you and i
were destined
to finally lay down
the skeletons of our past
the childhood wounds
and yes, love, there were many
too many
what if we could just
lay it down
right Krista?
you know you got to lay it down
you know you want to lay it down
now
can you
will you
can i
will i
will we
open up and see
what God has planned
what is growing in the dark
below the known
into the mystery
of ultimate vulnerability
a field beyond
this place
of rightdoing
and wrongdoing
i'm walking there
slowly now
one step
one breath
one humble word
at a time
a field of sweet
surrender,
precious Lord Jesus
take us there.
Amen.

lessons in loving

i'm learning to love you
the language of you
the landscape of you
the contour of your heart
the music of your soul
your hopes
your dreams
your pain
your past
your child
your man
such exquisite terrain
observing quietly
entering your heart
treading softly, slowly
unraveling the slumbering soul
the inner sanctuary
of love
requires such delicacy,
such reverence
how often have I been
reckless
disrupted the beauty
of love's tenderness
with my blatant disregard
for the man beside me
in front of me
now, this time
is different
i am more interested in you
in loving you
than who you are meant
to be for me
and what you will do for me...
no, dear one
you do not have to
make up for daddy
or mommy's mistakes
or the others that have come before you
you don't have to save me
you are not my salvation
i am saving myself
you are a gift
precious and mysterious
placed before me
God saying,
"I have chosen someone for you
to love."
unconditioned love
freeing love
deepening love
expanding
inclusive
blessed love.
i am learning the way
of Love,
with you,
humble, grateful...

dark mystery

the dark mystery of love
swells in my chest
all of me drowning
in the mystic's sea
of surrender
falling deeper
into love
with you
the One,
Beloved.
this force
has overtaken me
the flame of love's longing
unstoppable
relentless
dismantle me
consume me
take me
have your way
with me
now
always.
