Mother, I Love You

Deep, deep down within,

bubbling up, and outward 

is my love for you 

expanding, from deep in my heart 

into my life I find I 

am holy sometimes...

My love touching neighbors 

and strangers alike, my love for you

overflowing out of me 

and touching lives of those 

I don't even know...

acts of kind words and empathy,

acts of Love in action;

the Love you had in yourself

that you gave to me

has become so much more,

mother I love you,

from deep in my heart

into my actions in motion

of my life, I am 

the continuation of your light

that light which was your Love to give

and has now returned unto you, for you,

rejoice with me in this Love.

Mother, I will always love you.

Into Your Arms

Swimming in the ethereal tonight,

thinking about how much 

I love you and why;

How do I love thee? 

Let me count the ways...

No longer in the Void, 

but somewhere in between,

yet somewhere better.

The universe calling us and 

drawing us in closer and closer,

a mother and child reunited 

after an age of hell endured

by both, yet both prevailed,

and so their light increased

brightly lighting the way

to the complete giving in to

the touch of my mother.

After 50 years,

for the first time in my life,

you hold me and I hold you;

the cosmic healing of our family line

you the source and me the end,

the bookend to the eternal,

the infinite, the transcendent.

I will kiss your face and 

call you mother and tell you to your face 

how much I love you,

how much I've missed you; and now, 

all that is behind us as I come home

skipping between the raindrops

into your arms.

No longer in the Void,

but set free to ascend now 

into the highest realms,

the place where only Love dwells

forever and ever.

 

Of Course

Of course she loves me,

how could she not?

Did she not weave me 

with her very essence?

Gave to me all she had

that I might be?

Of course she loves me.

Knitted together with the

very strands of her DNA,

I became the person

she made. And afterwards,

I became the person

I made. And in so, 

found her approval 

and validation;

of course, she loves me.

And it is everything

I ever dreamed.

Ghosts of Terrors Past

The demons defeated, 

the ghosts of terrors past...

battles won by warriors,

we have survived them all

to find each other again 

a party of two, yet one.

Let the demons flee from us forever,

be gone from us, demons

you have no powers here; 

let our love be celebrated

by all the angelic host

in the most high choirs.

We are a promise fulfilled,

a dream come true...

a bloodline completed,

we are love incarnate.

I See You

As I stare into the eyes 

I have not yet looked into,

I smile with a grin that 

looks like yours...

You are so beautiful,

so caring and fierce,

yet fragile...I see you, 

I am you v.2...

I'm here to heal in our 

family line that which 

was broken so long ago.

Here to heal us from our 

isolation and desolation...

to put it back together

so our ancestors

can jubilee...receive me.

And I know you do,

because I am you,

so I instinctively know you.

Let me hold you now

as you cling to me tightly,

let our tears mingle into a wine

we drink together and remember 

the pain no more...

as the wine heals us

like a tonic mixed with our love.

 

Tapestry

This is a love poem, 

woven for my mother

out of the strands of my heart,

picked carefully, to echo the soul.

In solitude I searched, searched so long

as she waited for me to be victorious

my shieldmaiden,

my wingwoman,

my greatest advocate and fan,

she knew I was coming,

she could feel me approaching

through the years, as I wound my way

around the spine of time 

to the base of my skull 

where I was driven by my homesickness.

And when I found my way home,

I was welcomed, because 

they knew I was coming, she told them 

I'd be coming for her. I was, I am.

There was danger on my path,

great and terrible dragons

waiting to slay me, but they were slain

at a price, yet no price was too high 

to get home again, the dragons had to die.

I cared not for their gold and treasures...

just that they get out of my path,

because I'm going home...

but that's not in the nature of dragons,

so they were absorbed, and my innocence lost.

The scars I bear cannot be seen,

but the dragon's voice can be heard 

in my roar now...we became one 

and I defeated the beasts,

but their breath touched me...

so the tapestry will tell a tale

of adventures, dangers, struggles, scars 

and victory.

And she waits for me still, but

the day is coming soon

I will wrap my loving arms gently 

around her, I will satisfy the yearning

with my embrace; let her know 

this love for her in my soul, 

was woven in my heart, 

and hung for all to see,

my tapestry woven as she carried me,

so I carry her; and now,

no one can get between us,

and nothing will change this,

God help the dragons as 

I pick their bones clean,

cast them aside and use them 

as instruments of my mission:

to get home to you, finally. 

Something Shared Forever

We have something in common,

we share something more,

I have you in me,

I am what you gave 

to the world. 

I am your bloodline,

your immortality,

my words will record us

for posterity.

What we have is exceptional,

who gets to have this?

You are the source of my DNA,

I am the child they took away,

I have found you

and come to you now.

We are no longer prisoners 

of circumstances beyond 

our control...

I have chased down the dream,

I have your light inside of me,

the magic was with me...

We have something in common,

we share something more

I have you in me,

I am what you gave 

to the world.

Stop your running now, look upon me,

with your eyes, see me, touch me,

laugh and cry, be with me now,

and let's be

together 

for the rest of our lives.
