Unreasonable

Revalacion,
As my Algeria holds fast to truth,
Rewards me,
With a clever phrase,
Or a not so subtle word,
My passion tied,
To a sense of reason,
Absolutely unreasonable,
For my life,
My crazy vida,
Must stop being a vida of pain,
Loosened from trustees,
By Leonard Cohen,
Calling me,
As everybody knows,
Except me.

The Moment I Saw Her

The moment I saw her,
My life changed,
As I recognized,
Irrationally,
That without even knowing her name,
I had seen my wife.

In that realization,
I approached the bar,
Asked three questions,
And the rest is,
As the say,
History.

Our love found,
In a darkened room in Toronto,
Though our souls had always known,
Each other,
Transcending the physical universe,
Entering the spiritual divine.

My passion unyielding,
Evermore,
Knowing that Sender loves Charmaine,
And vice versa,
Requited,
For the first time in my life.

Angelic Whispers

My mind bounces between the hard and gritty impending darkness of war
and the always on fire passionate light of love that is you;
my special treat of everyday, the desire of my life realized,
the perfect joy that only you could bring –
Yet, still torn between these opposites am I –
Drawn to the mortal conflict of inferior minds,
ready to give in to the somehow easy to choose munitions of war machines delivered by the very real human commands –
as if destiny knocked on the door and said;
The grim reaper of this generation has whispered in my intelligent ear –
War is upon us –
I wonder about what they are thinking,
I wonder about what they know that I don’t
and in the case of both what I know that they don’t.

My ear hears different whispers,
I hear the voices of a million angels raised in brilliant unison –
Love, Love, L – O – V – E;
In your voice, with your words, I come to ease as I know that no matter the outside pressures this love is here to stay; Forever!

So please,
whisper,
speak,
scream or shout
take me away,
as you always do from the ominous storm clouds
threatening more damage than all the storms in Tornado Alley –
The shine of your genuine soul relieves my own and in your brilliance,
all you need do,
grasp my hand and understand God’s plan and a kiss upon my cheek;

I’m so grateful for you in this moment,
all that have passed and all that are to come,
My rock; my confidant, so strong, my best friend who listens and my lover who loves – Thank you for this life we share,
filled with light.

Celebrate Love... Today

Today I celebrate love,
which means I celebrate you,
from the tips of your sun kissed multi shaded hair
to the chill curled toes at the end of those long and inviting legs of yours.
Today, I rejoice in the grandeur that is this love,
revealed to me in silent volumes each day on this path that we have chosen.
Today, I stand witness to the incredible power that love has to improve the human condition, to touch the deepest regions of the human spirit,
to embrace it,
making fantastic the everyday, everyday.
Today I celebrate you as every other day,
for the incredible mind blowing, spirit enhancing and soul empowered woman that you are.
I celebrate the rareness of your being,
complete, with all the talents, skills and beauty that you share with the world everyday: Passionate.
Today I celebrate love which means I celebrate life in all its rich complexities.
The vibrancy of life renewed,
no invigorated,
by the great pleasure and privilege of knowing love as I do.
Love, Charmaine, Love,
the same for me, your name and love –
synonymous as each day you live love,
sharing it with all you encounter,
so yes,
today I celebrate love,
with you!

Sweet Love

Facing the uncertainty of following your passion
rather than the comfort of the mundane is what sets you apart.
Looking in the eye all those you meet and greet
while chasing your dream facing infinitely more than most will ever know.
Yet, with smile raging, furiously, fantastically you face the proverbial music,
trying, no succeeding, in learning the lesson that sometimes is obvious,
but more often, like the diamond in the rough, needs to be discovered, examined and polished.
Learning anew each day the power of following your heart
the lessons reveal to your inspired eye the charting of this course –
Specifically unspecific,
lacking not design or direction but instead plotting an inspired course.
Inspired indeed.
With strength, courage, conviction, determination and skill,
you chart each day anew seeking…
You are the embodiment of passions travels
and a true wanderer of the heart
and that my love,
sweet love is what sets you
aloft and apart.
