LOVE IS NOT BLIND
there is someone
who understands you,
who sees you
even more than you can see yourself

his eyes are like clear mirrors
reflecting to you
the you he loves and sees

and though you are afraid at first,
your fears are vanquished
and you are able to see through his eyes
what you were afraid to see

love is not blind after all
for love sees more
love sees what no other sees

and looking through those eyes
you finally discover the person within

you discover
the one he loves
the one whose beauty
reaches deep within his soul

you discover
and you see yourself
and you love the more
the one who opened up your own eyes

the only one
who is able to reach your heart

I’ve titled this poem “Love is not Blind” because I believe that Love, more than the common notion of blinding us, opens up our eyes to that kind of beauty we’ve never seen before.  If love is blind, then it is blind only to our past blunders and faults, for love keeps no record of wrongs.

I am an inspirer
I cannot steal your sorrows
and bury them inside my heart
so that you may never see them again.

I cannot heal your wounds
I cannot put my smile upon your lips.

I cannot teach you what to do
for you will not follow them anyways.
I cannot save your soul from pain,
for it is pain that awakens you
to seek the path of truth.

This is what I can do-
I can put down my mask
and reveal to you who I really am.
I can show you how I am imperfect and frail
as you are.
I can share you my tears-
tears of sorrow
and tears of joy,
tears that tell you more
than what I could ever explain.

I can share to you my journey
I can share to you my setbacks,
I can share to you my fears
as well as the courage
that has been forged
as through fire.

I can show you
how heaven has helped me
through it all,
and how marvelous life has been
no matter how difficult
the trials were.

By unmasking myself,
I can reveal to you
who you really are-
you are an Inspirer, too!
And you have the gift and the power
to pass on the light
that you have found!

Who is the Inspirer Unmasked?

This Is The Great Pause In Between

This is the great pause in between work and play
the great silence between a song, and another song

This is Selah, this is s p a c e
This is the point at which the earth neither slumbers nor wakes up

This is the great pause in between crying and laughing
between getting sick and getting well again

This is the time of waiting
without expecting for something soon to come

This is the space between heartbeats
between a heartbreak and a new-found love

This moment is silence
but this is not worth nothing

Everything is stored in this very moment
where everything else proceeds,
and where every great dream is born.

They can never understand
the kind of love that we have
For how could they?
How could they ever fathom
the depths of our bond?

They do not hear our whispers
nor the sweet nothings that come out of our lips,
they do not know the places
where I seek you,
and where you await always to be found.

They do not know the nights
when I lie awake thinking of you,
they do not know the mornings
when I awaken in joy
yearning to see you,
and to know you better than I have ever known you
in days that passed.

You are mine and I am yours,
we are joined in bliss
as we danced,
forever we danced.
We were lost in our passion,
yet we were never truly lost.

They can never understand
how two hearts can speak
without uttering a single word,
how two minds can understand,
without explaining a single thought.

Only LOVE speaks,
Only LOVE hears,
Only LOVE
can ever truly understand.

Listen
listen to the wind
to the earth
to the fire that growls
from beneath your feet

What do you hear?
what do you believe?
will there ever be another sound
another space
another melody

no there will never be another
you’ve heard it only once
and no more
maybe only once more
the one that you can hear over and over again
the one from within you
the sound that clung
to your very soul.
