POETRY -MOMENTS – CHANGE
*****************************************************
LOVE IS THE MOTIVATION
What motivates us is love,
your love of the people,
my love for the world
When i feel loved
i can move mountains,
When i feel unlovable
i become invisible and still,
Your freedom to love people,
My freedom to love the world,
The process of love is the process of life,
the freedom of unconditional love,
love creates the struggle and separation,
our family dynamics
gives us the reason and possibility
to find our individual roads back to wholeness,
When i see in you the power of man,
when you see in me the beauty of woman,
we reflect our true selves in each other and
the love of life moves us forward in peace and harmony
It is the power of man to create,
it is the power of woman to give life,
the love of man gives life to woman,
the love of woman gives life to man,
Man creates life for woman,
Woman gives life to what man creates,
in balance and equality
we dance our passion

PERSPECTIVE
Do you remember
the words of the astronauts
travelling into space,
looking at our earth from above,
Our world is one they said,
the borders become invisible,
only the beauty of our earth and
the privilege of living remain,
The details of our daily lives
highlights our cultural diversity,
magnifies our different personalities,
mirrors images, positive and negative,
Each day we create our own experience,
build our common universe,
steer our emotions through stormy waters,
take a breath in peaceful moments,
In the line of dance of LIFE,
passion is the music,
cool minds clash,
warm hearts unite,
Look through the eye of cosmos!
See the colourful tapestry!
Your personalities are weaving!
Appreciate your diversity!
LIFE IS SHORT AND DISAPPEARING FAST!!!!!
In the dance of tango,
individuals join into
separate couples,
moving together,
separating, uniting, constantly changing….
In life like in tango,
we circulate and navigate,
expressing our passion,
finding security in our structure,
creating with our technique,
moving together in our dance ,
May our hearts join together in the line of
dance…… ….
and reflect in life……

FOLLOWING YOUR HEART
Following your heart brings contentment,
putting the desire of your heart,
before the conclusions of your mind,
gives a different perspective
on your emotional world

TEMPLES OF ATHEN
The temples of Athens are crashing down,
Rome is burning,
Tied at the stake, Joan of Arc is
sacrificed with the witches of Salem,
the Sphinx silently watching,
The cry of the Phoenix rizing again,
Jaguar woman emerges

WIND OF ANGER
A gust of anger,
Extinguished desire,
Flame of passion quiet,
The bird found freedom,
A gust of anger,
Steered the bird
into flame of passion,
Extinguished the desire,
Hot wind of anger
Killer of desire,
Bury joy of passion,
The bird flies free,

PASSION
You, whose blood is passion,
You, whose heart like the sun
illumines my path,
Long, cold fingers
of Aurora Borealis
In the light of the silver moon,
dancing alone

LIFE
When death is life
it is difficult to give up
when love is an illusion
but experienced as real
it is difficult to leave
to pour lifeblood into
a projection of my own desire
love given to a closed heart
where does it go
recognize death in life
and in people
recognize life
nurture it
love life
love reflections of love
not death

THE VICTIM
Break open the bones of the victim,
Let her blood smear your face,
Lick your fingers clean one by one,
Tear her flesh apart and
feed it to the vultures watching,
Chew every morsel of her marrow,
Suck it out of the dark places
and take it into your body,
Swallow the whitened bones
and be free of her,

EYE OF THE TIGER
Like a candle flickering in the distance
Your presense illumines each step i take
on the path in the jungle,
The glint of your tiger eyes lead
the desire of my heart
and in silence my jaguar eyes follow,

UNFULFILLED DESIRE
UNFULFILLED DESIRE
PULSATING, HOT, URGENT
WRAPPED UP TIGHT
TO GATHER DUST
IN MY HEART
ALLCONSUMING, IMPATIENT
CRUEL EXPECTATIONS
BROKEN DREAMS
IGNORANT LIES
SLOWLY, RELUCTANTLY
TURNING AWAY IN LOVE
ALONE, LONELY,
DAMAGED
FREEDOM

THE ALCHEMY OF LOVE
In a state of grace
my heart is melting,
Feels the mystical union
with the devine,
Your words light
my heart on fire,
The alchemy of love
uncovering golden ore,
Its process hidden
in mercurial pebbles,
The mystery of meaning
purified by passing lives,
The winged messenger
spanning continents
of silvery moon
and golden sun,
My heart rejoices
sings your praises,
Your words of love
my quiet treasure,

NO ANGER BUT
MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING,

HOME
CLOSE TO YOU
SAFE IN YOUR EMBRACE
I PAUSE FOR A MOMENT
AND FEEL MY HOME
april 2001
With the passion of creation,
The artist within flies
Free like the bird,
The world is our stage,
In the tree of life,
The bird rests,
Safe in the rythms of nature,
Secure in daily routines,
Roots of networks and structures holding the earth,
Spread your wings, little birds,
Soar high with the eye of the eagle,
Seek the forces of light,
Dream our future with your love,
Surround us with your beauty,
Raise your voices in joy,
Sing a lullaby for our trembling world,
Respecting our raising waters,
Peaceful spirit,
Dance with us your heart,
March 9-10
