Beyond the world of discovery that music has been for me, there was always the bigger world, the universe of questions about what we’re a part of, how it works, and how to best fit into the larger whole.
My love of words, a fascination with scientific, philosophical, and spiritual inquiry, and a quiet determination to learn how to be a better human (and a happier man) have led me on a path of shaping my experience, breath by breath, into poems.
Here are some of them.

You have never been mine,
And you never will be mine;
And you will always be
A part of me.

The gift you are
Is what comes through you,
The love that flows
When you share your heart.
The power that flows
When we share our being.
The spirit rediscovered,
That was always mine,
always yours.

Abandoned to the dance,
You share your aliveness.
We take it gratefully, greedily,
Not seeing it is already in us.
The animal in you calls -
The animal in us,
Blind & lacking,
Reaches out for completion.
Will we find ourselves,
In the mirror of your freedom?

There is a dream,
Beyond lust.
A gem of purest love,
Bright light.
A soul touched,
Nudged beyond ego.
Your voice,
your spirit.
I am there.

Something raw and tender
Opens up,
When our hearts touch.
Unprotected,
It stings with aliveness,
Stepping out of hiding,
Into light.

You are a mirror into my heart and soul.
As our friendship unfolds,
So does the reflection,
Wider and deeper.
From that deepest space,
I see one Spirit,
Shared among us,
Where we truly live.

The purest love
is like fresh air to the heart.
Breathing in,
it nurtures and enlivens,
but it cannot be held.
August 30, 2013
When first I opened my heart to you,
I was called by your beauty,
By my desire.
Now my heart stays open,
Because you are my friend,
Truly a friend.
Always a mirror
Of what I love in myself.
I was drawn to you
Because of what I wanted.
I love you now
Because of what I am,
What I am becoming.
August 30, 2013
When I talk to you,
I remember who I am.
In the mirror of your open spirit,
I see myself:
I am enough.

Your face,
Aglow in your gentle fire;
Your hair a forest,
Vital and wild;
Your spirit,
peaceful, open,
and free.
