Already All In

My open heart
played her cards
Best hand
No plan
Layin it all out on the table
under the tremble
of my tender
touch

Made my play
Waiting for what you
might say
Let the games
begin
I was already all in
Right from the very
start
Me and my open
heart

Win or lose
it mattered not
I knew the time had
arrived
To gamble what was
For what could
be
Or, so it seemed it could
to me

Not even knowing how
stocked the pot
might be
Was it brimmin' or runnin'
dry
I had to reveal my
full house
Didn't need to know
why

Made my play
Waiting for what you
might say
Let the games
begin
I was already all in
Right from the very
start
Me and my open
heart

And now I've blown my
gambler's tell
You now know me and that
tell so well
You know the moves
I'm gonna make
You know it's all real
Give or take

So, I step away from this
gamblin table with
lady love
She holds all the cards
anyway
No more wondern' what
you will
say
You...alongside me as we
await our
winning day

Made my play
Waiting for what you
might say
Let the games
begin
I was already all in
Right from the very
start
Me and my open
heart

In Love with Love

Once in a life

Love is accessed

and we are

in love with love

forever

 

She is the call that wakes

us

Makes us alive

Or stops us dead in

our tracks

 

To be with love

Deep in the delicious depths

of her...

our mission

Falling in

Jumping out

Held within and all

places

in between

 

We are, indeed

in love

with love

 

Love....we seek you

If we lose, we

try again

Until we need not

try any longer

We one day find ourselves

while seeking

you

Realizing, we needed to be

in love with

ourselves

First

 

I can love another now

Because I am in love with

me

Always

 

The motto of the story

"No one can love

you proper till you know it

for yourself...first"

Radical Submersive, for Alason and Madeline and Maerin

 

Suspended in buoyancy sublime
Living in harmonic echoed respect
Once locked on land hard, cold and unforgiving
Afloat on a wave now playing with
Dolphin kin
Radical Submersive
am I

Radical Submersive
yes you heard me correctly
Deep inside the belly of the mighty ocean
Held in the glorious free fingers of
the Sea
Sonic... Seductive.... Sea Maiden
Am I.... immersed, surrounded
Radical Submersive


In love with my Sea am I
Fight for her, I shall
if you soil her or sully her heart
For I am her heart
Below the surface we flourish
Where time is true
Life is balanced
and dreams are known the moment we
sing them
Magic......

My brethren the Sea beat too, below the surface
The Whales
The Fishes
The Seals
The Dolphins
The Coral
The Rocks I rest upon
in the sun, arising, setting
Radical Submersive
Am I

Messages are surfacing
From within the heart beat
below the surface
of our one true mama
Ancient wisdom to release the lies
you live so heavy above the surface
Listen as we sing.....feel what we send
Know the comfort and the truth only a
Radical Submersive
knows
Teach you, we shall
Allow it, your challenge

Can you allow it?

My Sea, our Sea
Save my Sea, and you Save me
Save me, and you save YOU
Become a Radical Subversive
Save the me I am
Save the You you are evolving to be
Radical Submersive
am I

Takes Her Course

http://www.twistedrootstudios.com

Blinded by the light of love
Hind sight 20/20
Perhaps we lit up the world too
quickly

A spark ignites
The fire burns
Nature takes her course
of course

Lighting the way is love
Darkens the path, it does
as it dies
In life, the light and the darkness
coexist

A spark ignites
The fire burns
Nature takes her course
of course

All of the loves of my life
Have provided kindling
for that fire, fierce
At the end of the trail is me....
In perfect love with
myself

Such a gift discovered in the ruins of love
lost...transitioned
Love foundational found in the remains of a fire
once burning so brightly it surely
could be witnessed from
outer space!

Inner peace, outer space.....paths connected
until they split apart
It is what it is, what it was was wonderful
To all of the loves in my life...
I love you still
In those moments when my recall takes me
there, in the dark or the light
we shared....

coexisting

Once I loved you
Always, I love myself
I can live with that.....

A spark ignites
The fire burns
Nature takes her course
of course

The Nothingness of Everything

He held her close
taking in the scent of her hair...kissing her long neck
Pulling her deeper into his
longing embrace

She leaned gladly and gratefully into his frame
Letting go her fears
Opening her heart and her mind to him
The dance began

The dance of this life once lonely
Now endless possibilities
became their dance floor
They flowed across the floor

as 
it 
fell 
away

Sweetly suspended in the nothingness
of everything they felt
in that moment
not falling....floating.....freely 

He awoke from this dream of dancing
smile on his face
Still sensing her scent
and seeing himself reflected in her eyes

How did she get me to dance?
I don't dance
How did she get me to hold her?
I do not hold on

How did she get me to reveal my hand?
I play it close and tight
How does she know me so well?
She knows my tells...how?

Clever gambler, he thought
She sees with her heart
She knows before the game begins
and still she plays

Win or lose
I'm all in... he told himself
Damn...
I'm in love with a gambler

The smile grew wider on his face
as 
he 
fell
back
to
the
sweet
suspended
nothingness
of 
everything
he 
felt
in 
that
moment

In Love with Life!

It is such a magical time in my life right now! I realized that this should be shouted from rooftops and printed on the front page of major papers!

This just in:
LIFE CAN BE A GOOD EXPERIENCE

As Dan says, love makes her play and never leaves, even though the hands are not ours to choose.We may win, we may lose, but there we are! We play the hands we are dealt and we try again if we walk away from the table defeated.

So it is with life. In these times we find ourselves in it is often so difficult to see the crack of light at the bottom of a closed door. We may miss a blessing as we are reeling from a bitter curse. We may completely forget that life is a miracle, a gift and a grand adventure.

So, to sum this up, I would like to ask you to be willing to allow the light to bust the door wide open and to expect good stuff in the midst of the heaviness of everyday life. When your royal flush is discovered, played and revered, spread some of the love around that comes with owning a winning hand, even if it is only once in a while!

May you find joy in your life today. I share mine with you gladly, freely and happily NOW!
