Words are all we have
Here to Learn
I sit before flowers
hoping they will train me in the art
of opening up
I stand on mountain tops believing
that avalanches will teach me to let go
I know
nothing
but I am here to learn.
– Shane Koyczan
Save Us
If nothing saves us
from death, may
love at least save
us from life.
from death, may
love at least save
us from life.
Endlessly
Your Voice
Those Who Are Near Me Do Not Know
Those who are near me do not know that you are nearer
to me than they are
Those who speak to me do not know that my heart is full
with your unspoken words
Those who crowd in my path do not know that I am
walking alone with you
Those who love me do not know that their love brings you
to my heart.
– Hafez
Erotic
Liberation with you
so that we no longer
must be shameless
and no longer say:
‘That’s all
there is to it’
At last we can do
you with me
I with you
everything we want
also that
whereof there is much
and what we haven’t ever done
and what we will not say
to anyone else
