Let me Love You

My Very Own Superhero

I like to live on the edge...feel angels

guiding/protecting me.

I need adventure...and feel protected

always...depression seeps in when

I’m suppressed...need to find a way to be totally free

yet take care of what's mine.

In a perfect world...my perfect world...I would be on a safari everyday....hunting

for the 'unseen', the impossible dream, the strange

and mysterious...surrounded by angels,

I would have no fear...

I would be a crusader, a

superhero, a savior of human kind.

If only I could get a grasp on it...figure out how to

do it, and still take care of what is mine.

I have a band of angels...we each have a band of

angels...if I could only see them...make you see them.

Fear is the mind killer, fear makes us contract into

ourselves...if only we could realize

that we are completely safe...completely and

unconditionally loved...we would truly

have no fear...then we would expand with love

instead of contract with fear.

Then we would love each other and help each other...

and there would be no homeless,

no wars, no starving children in our world...

If only....we could be conscious every moment of the

Truth of our being...Beingness…

by being in the moment...if I could just master this one simple

thing...

Just need to remember...to expand instead of contract...

To live each moment like it was the last…

Then I would be totally free, and so would you. Just Be!

Let me Love You

I have so much love to give,

Yet no one fills his cup from me... why?

Let me Love You!

I cry it, scream it to a dead and

silent world, for it does not reach you,

only cosmic things

Let me Love You!

Rivers of tears that people trod on,

passing by without a thought

from whence they came

Let me Love You!

Where are you, my companion, my lover, my friend

Will this unquenchable loneliness never end?

Let me Love You!

What is Love?

Love is an elixir to me; yes, I'm in love with love.

Passion is the tonic that feeds my soul.

Excitement is the panacea for all that ails me.

Adventure is what keeps me young.

Tribute to Apollo

I am Persephone, your daughter:

To my father Zeus, for whom I grieve still...I'm sorry I couldn't stay with you, for you to see that I grew up with superior skill. You were not strong yourself...and allowed me to be abducted by Hades himself…the shadow that colored my perceptions of love. You allowed the immorality of Hades to swallow you whole, and become someone I had to leave hereto.

I am Artemis, your sister:

To my brother, Apollo, who chose not to join me in this lifetime...I grieve for you. You could have been my protector...and helped me to be strong and feel good about other men... you would have been my champion.

I am Aphrodite, your lover:

I drank of you like fine wine, and inhaled your very essence...but there are many other wines to savor yet. I am sorry that I couldn't love you the way you needed me to. Lest you forget, I am Aphrodite; therefore, I am Love.

I am Hera, your mother:

Hephaestus... my son, my son...I grieve for you most of all...but I was afraid I didn't have what it took to help you grow up strong and noble...for I had no model...and I am so sorry. I pray that you can forgive me...for if you were here now...you would take care of me, as I would have taken care of you.

Apollo: my father, my brother, my lover, my son...it is for you I write this tribute.

I can only pray that someday we can all be together again...one within the Great Absolute.

Think on These Things

It makes me wanna cry and I really don't know why

To hear and see the good from people by and by

Momma taught me to pray this way And she would often say...

Keep your mind on God and only let in these...

Everything lovely

Everything true

Everything pure

Everything just...

Oh, I think I know now Why it makes me wanna cry

Everything lovely

Everything true

Everything pure

Everything just...

It makes me wanna cry

'Cause there's just not enough

Loving Me

My heart yearns to love

Yet my soul yearns for freedom.

Yes, I love you; but it seems my heart is not enough

And my soul is mine and mine alone.

So be not afraid of parting, be not afraid at all

Make God’s love your shield and ally.

Peace be with you always, never let it wander far.

Learn to quiet thoughts that are not soothing

Learn to follow your own star.

These things that I leave with you are yours

You may share them, but not give them away.

Do not look outside for them or in another

Just look into your own soul, for this is where He hid them.

“... men are spiritual graces sent in disguise to teach us, through torment, to love ourselves.” Ref: Something More by Sarah Ban Breathnack

Heal My Pain/Your Pain

Bless your pain and thank it for its message

Breathe love into it, as you massage it

Send it forgiveness and love

See it ascending like a dove

Expand with love as you inhale

Feel the pain begin to pale

As you exhale, let completely go

Thank God and all His Angels;

And know that it is so!

Lullaby for Your Inner Child

I love you little baby

I brush away your tears

I kiss your heart

I give you love

God Bless you with much cheer.

I love you little baby

I chase away your fears

I kiss your heart

I give you love

God's with you all your years.

I love you little baby

I ease away your pain

I kiss your heart

I give you love

Have faith that God sustains.

I love you little baby

I sing away your blues

I kiss your heart

I give you love

Feel God's love healing you.
