Your love and my death of desire are a gift. And if it is to be that love, share our bodies, but only one more night. Then, let it be a joyful gathering. And if tears fall, let them drown the willfullness of what is not, and nourish the blossom of what is. Poem by […]

As winged wonders of nature defy gravity to know the ecstasy of being. I, the hatchling, have observed. A fearless winged one. Tired, she seeks no rest. Only flight. The wings of heart sustain her. Through wondrous freefall, and arduous task of all the hatchlings back at the nest. Without the knowledge of why. Only […]

Of thinking and believing I have had enough. Today, this glorious morning, the perceiver, and the perceived ARE ONE! I pierce the mechanical thinking beast who feeds off my wanting and trying. I am the help I have been dying for. The feeling of longing, I hold closer than my breath The feeling of pain, […]

I am no longer found in the faces. Where am I? I have given myself away… a quarter of a teaspoon at a time. No one is fed. The famine feeds off me. Full from feeding yet no one is fed Only those who have not fed their hunger escape starvation I am no longer […]

As a night of lovin becomes a night of lovin As the smoothness of sand, descends into the glass blower’s breath. Your face, alone with the night, Unites. I have note seen it but I have seen myself seeing this, and that is enough, for now. For what is, is best. The longing mingled with […]

Alone in Texas under a Florida tree. Jack-a-ran-da. I can’t stop feeling how beautiful you are when the wind blows. these syllables are so heavy, and the wind so free of heaviness. I surrender to the shadows and sunshine, inches below my breathing My world of thought collapses. I need no thing I feel the […]

A cool rain A cool rain is falling Your sweet nature is in the mist like a perfect kiss The one that I adore The one my heart beats for If the fool would only die I’d wake in your arms brand new and strong Brand new and strong I’d do the same for you […]

There’s a fish on my ceiling with a huge eye. The blade of a hunter liberates it from its tale. There is a gong in my insides. It has begun to vibrate. The whole world listens, But only I, her and the earth hears. To speak of it without knowing with certainty that the death […]

It’s morning and the blue sky speaks. The wind listens with a hunter’s ear. Movement with purpose, the wind meets the voice. And like the lovers longing for union fulfilled Mystery reveals itself. And as one veil is lifted, another is revealed. Ray Songs (March 1996)
