Basics are easy
Love’s kernel is kindness
Absent, love is dead.

Growing beyond surviving
Anyone who seeks to turn
Trauma and horrors’ emotional energy
Towards compassion and kindness
Embraces the deepest wisdom.
Our culture has a dearth of love.
I applaud all those who
Long to grow that seed.
The need is great.
The Duality Of Love
Generosity
Dually within compassion;
Sexuality
Ever expanding love
Love’s amazing gift
When shared, it grows larger still
Sharing, expansion
Compassion
I seek compassion,
Please let the gentleness flow
From my marrow’s core
Hidden in plain sight
I often
Find myself
My dreams, loves
Hidden by
My own
Ego.
Hansel and Gretel’s Father
Children’s voices in town
Echoes in the forest
Crying out judgement
Of deep failure, trust
Crushed, sacrifices upon
Lust’s altar. Offerings
Offered to an uncaring
Soul. Reminders of
Horrors he willingly
Inflicted upon his beloved.
Individuality
Upon life’s edges
Evading mundanity.
Lovely uniqueness
Compassion
Gentleness descends
Compassion’s greatness saves me
Branches bloom anew
Here I stand
And so I stand
Upon this green hill
Watching the rage filled
Banter below. Unable
To comprehend, to
Descend, swinging
Into the mass melee
Of standard life.
I must stand aside
Playfully exploring
Within the forgotten
Grasses on this hill-top
Field, lost within the
Echoing glory of the
Neglected and unseen.
