You are in my heart,

I love you,

I care for you,

I cherish you,

I see your beauty,

I see your perfection,

I see your magic,

I see divinity in you,

But my heart's longing for you,

is that one day,

You will know that you and I are one,

For on that day we will be in each other's soul,

And we will dance and play,

And laugh and sing,

Welcome each other home,

And be love for evermore.

I Love You

I love you

With all my heart and all my soul

May my lovelight be a beacon

To illuminate your path

and in the darkness guide you home

Wherever else you may call home

You always have a home in my arms and in my heart

In my heart I cherish you exactly as you are And provide safe space to express everything that you are

I put my love for you in service to your happiness

I will move mountains and walk though the gates and fires of hell for your happiness

Because I love you so much, how could I possibly be happy, if you are not happy

I am right by your side in life or in spirit

To carry you in your darkest times for as long as you need

This I give you unconditionally

This I give you joyfully

This I give you without requirement from you

Because this is simply my heart through and through

You Are So Beautiful

You are so beautiful

I promise you that

My eyes see only beauty

And you look radiant to me

Beauty and love are one and the same

That which I love is beautiful to me

When I see beauty I am feeling love

There is nothing but beauty and love

To Love myself, I see beauty in myself

By first seeing beauty outside of me

And looking for beauty wherever I go

Until I see nothing but beauty

With my new eyes I look on myself

I see myself with eyes of innocence

Knowing that I am beautiful

And in my beauty I have found my love

There is only Love

So we cannot, not be love

There is only beauty

So we cannot, not be beautiful

So you are so beautiful

I promise you that

My eyes see only beauty

And I see you, radiantly

You Are Safe In My Heart

You are safe in my heart

Where you are loved completely

To find peace and tranquility

Whenever you are in need

Joyfully I make safe space

For you to be whoever you want to be

To express any and all emotion

Without judgement or comparison

Close your eyes and imagine my heart

Filled with an ocean of love and passion

For you, stretching as far as the eye can see

Gently it laps on the shore

You stand on the shoreline

A soft, warm sand underneath your feet

The sun is high in a cloudless sky and

Warmth touches your skin

As you walk along the beach

You see a beach hut with loungers

A supply of crisp, cold water

And as much fresh fruit as you can eat

This space is yours, I made it for you

You can come here whenever you want

Spend as much time here as you need

And know that my love protects you

It is your space to play with

Maybe it's night, stars glistening in the sky

Bring others to share this space with you

Or explore my ocean of love for you

Listen to the ocean as it laps on the shore

Dip your toes into its warm waters

Or dive right it and

Be deliciously consumed by my love

As you dive in you notice

There is no resistance as

You slice through its waters

You are accepted completely

You notice that you are held

Gently and tenderly

And raised towards the surface

As I will never let you sink

You notice that the waters envelop you

All of you, without exception

No part of you is missed

And nothing about you goes unloved

You are safe in my heart

To be whoever you want to be

To do whatever you want to do

And be loved unconditionally

My Friend

My beloved friend

You are so beautiful

And I love you so much

My Gift To You

Love allows no space for hate, but

Hate can fill space without Love.

I will not allow space for hate,

So I fill my space with Love.

Love allows no time for fear, but

Fear can fill time without Love.

I will not allow time for fear,

So I fill my time with Love

For all who touch my time and space,

I hold you safe in my heart, and

I Love you exactly as you are.

This, above all, is my gift to you

I Am With You In Spirit

I am with you in spirit

More so than in life

We are connected in love

Even if we are ships in the night

My love is unconditional

Which is more than empty words

It means my heart is open

Through all kinds of curves

In absence of condition

My love is free of time

With no up and down occurring

It rests in the divine

Time allows conditions

To play out as they must

But as my love is singular

No time is needed, I trust

The divine is free of time and space

It is in the present moment

It contains the part of me

That loves so innocent

And so, begins the magic

Of love unconditional, the divine

It touches every moment

In the space and time

It means that I am with you

Loving you unconditionally

Wherever you are in space and time

Reach out to me, simply

Behind your right shoulder

I am in your aura

Feel my love around you

To support you in good order

If you are in pain

There is nowhere I would be

Than right by your side

Until you be pain free

Even though you didn't know it

Right there in the past

When you were at your lowest

I was there steadfast

Look into your memories

Whenever you felt alone

Reach out for me behind you

And know you have come home

I Know You're In Pain

I know you're in pain

I can feel it too

Let me carry it for you

As I share what I'd do

Pain is a message

That all is not well

Try not to resist it

But ask it to tell

The truth of its presence

In love is revealed

But it's purpose and meaning

In hate is concealed

There is only Love

And love wants not

Your pain to linger

Any longer than a jot

So love your pain fearlessly

As its here to show

The truth all about you

And then let it go

It's purpose is met

And love wants you to know

In knowledge and wisdom

No pain can grow

I Love You, They Said

I love you, They said

You love me? She replied.

Well, I don't hate you,

So I must Love you, They continued

But if that's true then

Anyone who doesn't love me

Must hate me, She commented.

No they don't hate you, they just

Don't love themselves or know themselves, Hate is a denial of self,

They carefully explained

You see, love is all there is

I am love, you are love,

We are all love and there

Is no separation between us

Hate is a blanket we wrap ourselves in

To protect ourselves from the loss of self

That we fear will happen when we

Embrace our oneness and allow

Love to guide our thoughts and actions.

And yet, when we embrace the oneness

When we surrender to its loving arms

We become more vibrant, more colourful and more alive

We fully accept ourselves and become more of ourselves even as we merge into the joy of oneness in Love.

So, I love you because I am love and so are you. I cannot hate you because hate does not exist in our oneness and I tell you this so you can share in my joy.

She smiled, They smiled, they embraced and She said I love you too. With delight They said welcome, my beloved friend. And together they walked hand in hand and in love with each other and everything and everyone around them.

In The Space That I Joyfully Make

In the space that I joyfully make

For you in my heart

You are loved unconditionally

You are accepted exactly as you are

However you show up and

Whyever you show up and

Whoever you show up as

In the space that I joyfully make

For you in my heart

You are cared for

And supported

You are cherished

And adored

In the space that I joyfully make

For you in my heart

There is nothing you can say or do

Nothing that you have said or done

To diminish the welcoming embrace

Of the space that I make

In the space that I joyfully make

For you in my heart

You can rest easy in my peace

Know that there is nothing left to do

And know that you are home

In the space that I make

For you in heart

I Am

I am

The only thing I know for sure

Everything else is speculation

And therefore not necessary

The joy in life

Is from experimenting and playing with

What comes after I am

And what comes before

What comes before I am

Is oneness

Where there is no separation

Simply the experience of being

You and I are one

You and I does not exist

You and I are no-thing

No-thing is pure love

You and I and the world are one

You and I and the world does not exist

You and I and the world are no-thing

No-thing is pure love

You and I and heaven are one

You and I and heaven does not exist

You and I and heaven are no-thing

No-thing is pure love

You and I and God are one

You and I and God does not exist

You and I and God are no-thing

No-thing is pure love

You and I and these words are one

You and I and these words does not exist

You and I and these words are no-thing

No-thing is pure love

Before I am

I drop the limitations of experience

I dissolve into no-thing

I am pure love

Who I Am

I am love

Emanating from my heart

My heart is soft

My heart is open

My heart is vulnerable

In my heart there is room for all

It provides safety and comfort

For all who need it

Approach with a soft heart

And allow our hearts to merge

We are love

Our home is our heart

Our heart is soft

Our heart is open

Our heart is vulnerable

I Am Pure Love

I am,

The only thing I know for sure,

Everything else is speculation,

And therefore not necessary.

The joy in life,

Is from experimenting and playing with,

What comes after I am,

And I am whoever I want to be.

What comes before I am,

Is oneness,

Where there is no separation,

Simply the experience of being.

In this space you and I are one,

God and I are one,

It is nothing but pure love,

And nothing else matters.

It is a space I can return,

Again and again and again,

In this space there is nothing I have to be,

There is nothing I have to do.

Pure peace,

Pure love,

Timeless,

I become one with the space.

Before I am,

I drop the limitations of experience,

I dissolve into nothing,

Pure love - I am

I Am Filled With Divine Love

I am filled with divine love

Drawn from the source

Exquisite and tender

To give to you all

Unconditional in nature

It requires nothing of thee

To be expressed thusly

It's only requirement of me

To be a pure channel

To honour its call

My work in this lifetime

A gift to us all

The more I express

The more that I draw

I feel the light in me

I am beginning to soar

I am the divine love

Coursing through me

I am no longer separate

We are one I now see

We are filled with divine love

The one and the same

To Love without question

It's only aim

There is nothing between us

No space I can see

We are the one love

What else can we be

As I love you completely

I know in my heart

I am feeding the oneness

Pure love from the start

As I love you completely

I truly now see

I am loving the oneness

With divine love through me

Intimacy

Love is innocent

Love is unconditional

Love is divine

Love is intimate

Intimacy is tender

Intimacy in safety

Intimacy always

As an expression of love

Intimacy accepts

Another unconditionally

In vulnerability

And openness

Naked mind

Naked soul

Naked heart

Naked body

Entwined as one

Our oneness expressed

In physical and spiritual union

In this divine moment

God's Foundation

I create my life on God's foundation

Safe in the knowledge that if I should fall

I can only ever fall back into God's loving arms

God is perfect and beautiful

And as God and I are one

I am perfect and beautiful

I can never be less than perfect and beautiful

I can never be more than perfect and beautiful

Either would create a separation between myself and God

I cannot be separate from God

To believe myself so, denies God's love for me

God's love, divine love runs through me

There is nothing I have to do

There is nothing I have to be

There is no expectation of me

This is God's foundation

God's will for me is that I take my perfection and beauty

And refine it and define it in my own image

To play with my perfection and beauty

Until what I have created ceases to be my own image

And then to return to God's foundation and start again

In so doing I reveal God to God

There is no other reason to be here

I am love, I am loved, I am

The Laws Of Love

We can only love another to the extent that we love ourselves

We can only love another to the extent that they love themselves

We can only be loved by another to the extent that we love ourselves

We can only be loved by another to the extent that they love themselves

What Is Love?

What is love?

Love is who we are

Love is everything

Love is all there is

God is love

Not God is loving

God IS love

And God is us

We are God godding

And God godding is love

Love is God

Love is us

Looking for love

Is denial of self

We can never find

That which we already are but do not see

If I am looking for love

I need to look inside

There I will find my love

It is me, it is who I am

So what is it I feel for another

It can be many things

But at its heart, it is the dropping of

The attachment to self-denial

Maybe I drop the attachment a little

Maybe I drop the attachment a lot

But the feeling of love cannot be denied

The feeling is who I am

I have never not been that feeling

I can never not be that feeling

I can deny that I am that feeling

So much so I do not feel it except through another

It feels like coming home

After being away for a very long time

It is a feeling of safety

It is a feeling of acceptance

I can be my authentic self

Without fear of being denied

My authentic self is loved

I am seen, truly seen for the first time

Love is unconditional

Conditional love is not love

How can I be loved if changing

Could cause love to be denied me

Now, look upon yourself with eyes of love

Fall in love with yourself

And give yourself everything

You have sought from another

Surrender your self-denial

Allow yourself to see yourself

Accept your vulnerability

And love yourself completely

Allow others to see you as you are

You are love, pure, divine, unconditional love

Express it

And watch as love is expressed back to you

What is love?

Love is who we are

It is our language

It is our validation

It is our communion

With God

With others

With ourselves

I love you

The Only Way

The only way to peace

Is through peace

The only way to love

Is through love

Surrender, my love

It's time to give up the fight

There is nothing to win

There really never was

There is only pain

Continuing this way

Yet so much light

If down your body you lay

There is nothing to lose

Because in peace

We all win

Especially you, even in your chagrin

Take your time

Lick your wounds

You are not alone

I have always been with you

Through bigotry and hate

Denial and rage

Grudges held and curses made

I have never abandoned you

And so you see

When you surrender through me

A love you never knew

Will be there to set you free

The World Of My Experience

The world of my experience

Began when my body was born

And will end when my body dies

It was born of my consciousness

And my consciousness continues

After the death of my body and

The end of the world of my experience

Home

There is a home for you

In my arms and in my heart

It is a place of peace

It is a place of safety

In this place you are never

Anything less than beautiful

Anything less than perfect

Anything less than magical

In this place Divine Love

Is your foundation to build on

To play with what comes after 'I am'

Without judgement or limitation

In this place you are met by

A Soul at peace in God

A Heart that embraces all

A Person committed to Love

There is a home for you

In my arms and in my heart

As I wait patiently for you

To be ready to come home

What Is Beauty?

In the silence I ask

"What is beauty?"

And the silence answers

"Beauty shows you what you love"

I pause, intrigued

"I love that which is beautiful, don't I?”

"No, love precedes beauty

Beauty doesn't exist without love

The more you love

The more beauty you will see

Love is who you are

So everything is beautiful

Not seeing beauty

Is denial of self"

"But some things are not beautiful

They are ugly, grotesque even"

"Then I ask you

Why are you seeing them?

Why are you giving them your attention?"

"Because sometimes we have to see them"

"If you have to see them

I encourage you to find beauty in them

Or at least find a reason why

You are choosing to deny yourself"

I feel a mixture of anger

And indignation

Am I being gaslit

By my own Spirit Guide?

"No, you are not

You asked me "What is beauty?"

I answered the only way I can

Spirit is love, so Spirit sees all as beauty

You are Spirit

You are love

Your natural state is

To see all as beauty

Choose yourself

Choose love

Choose beauty

Notice seeing anything else

And let it go”

Dark leaden skies

Dark leaden skies

On a clear blue day

Shivering with cold

In another heatwave

My emotions dictating

The climate of my mind

My own personal winter

An end? There's no sign

Hopeless and helpless

My intentions are blighted

Fearful and anxious

My ambition is quieted

Dare I try again?

Only to fail

Defeat inevitable

Significance paled

Self doubt reigns

In my traumatised mind

Abandoned in need

Help denied, my fear

Alone I am safe

But lonely is my life

Without connection

And not held as I cry

How long until

My dark leaden skies

Break with the sunshine

Of summers true prize

To be shared with others

Successful and proud

A life well lived

And loved out loud

Waiting

I miss you

The touch of your hand

Your breath on my neck

The whispered I love you

I miss you

I remember the look in your eye

Your heartbreak held me

Momentarily, but I had to leave

I look in on you

I can see you

But I can't touch you

I am here, I promise

I don't want you to cry

I ache to hold you

Tell you everything is OK

Make it all go away

I am excited for the future

I know what will happen

We will be in each others arms again

Each time I think of you I am drawn back

Different names

Different faces

Undeniably you and me

But wiser, older souls

We'll make mistakes

We'll scream and shout

But, that love

That home in your heart

How do I know?

I chose you, remember

I choose you

And I will always choose you

I can't be with you right now

That breaks me

I am waiting for you

That gives me hope

When you are ready, join me

It is beautiful here

It's our paradise

The one we spoke about

It's not scary, you know

The peace, the love, the acceptance

I know I was scared

You helped me more than you know

It's not the end

In some ways it's only the beginning

So many times we have parted

And always we return

I miss you

In spirit, I wait

To continue our eternal dance

Together and parted, waiting

Waiting

I love you

Waiting

To touch you

Waiting

My Pain Poem

Part 1: Who am I?

Who am I?

I am nobody

But I have form that needs feeding

So I pretend to be somebody

But I know not who

Always afraid that my impostorous nature

Will be revealed for what it is

In the absence of knowing who I am

Who I am not, becomes who I am

Like a photographic negative

My colours inverted

My lightness obscured

And my darkness revealed

I am an amorphous blob

Like sculptors clay

Waiting to be formed

Into beauty and brilliance

Beheld and adored

Alive with potential

But discarded without form

I am no sculptor

Maybe others can tell me

That which eludes me

To know myself

Through the eyes of others

And yet, all others see

Is the me that happens by accident

Without authenticity, without joy

Seen, but not seen

Hidden in plain sight

Alone in my anguish

And never more lonely

Than with others around me

Part 2: Who I am!

The sculptors clay looks at me

From the deepest recesses of my psyche

How many times have I reached for it

Only to be disappointed with what I make

And return it from where it came

And yet work on it again I must

Again and again and again

With sculpting knife in hand

I work the clay with familiar strokes

Working to reveal my David

As I get closer to completion

I become more and more deflated

I see faults, mistakes and failures

I hate it, I am no sculptor

Dejected I pack the clay around my David

And I hope not to see it again

The sculptors clay looks at me

I know that my David lies deep inside

My nemesis, trapped and restrained

Yet I feel duty bound to reveal him

This is my purpose or so I am told

"Maybe it's not your sculpting

But your subject that is the problem"

A voice in my head proclaims

But that cannot be so

I am here to sculpt my David

Reluctantly, sceptically and with trepidation a plenty

I bring out my clay and start sculpting

My Venus Di Milo

It took time, the strokes were unfamiliar

But as my Venus revealed, my heart began to soar

Perfect, she wasn't, but she was beautiful and brilliant

Death

Death is no more an end

Than birth is a beginning

It is the end of this human life

But our life in love continues

In the moment of death

We fully surrender to love

In surrendering to love

We return home to ourselves

We experience a bliss

Unlike any experience as a human

If we are in pain when we die

The pain transmutes into joy

As the veil falls away

We are met by loved ones

Angels and spirit guides

Overflowing with love for us

We are accepted as never before

There is no judgement

And we walk willingly

And joyfully into the next life

We understand that the world

Of our experience was always an illusion

That time and space never existed

And separation from each other is not possible

Everything worked out according

To the plans we made before

Entering our human life

As we experimented with what came after I am

If we feel not everything was completed

Or had an experience that we wanted to explore in more detail

We have the opportunity to return to life

In the previous form or a new form

Only when we are ready

Do we let go of attachment

To human life

And fully embrace our life in love

So where is God?

God is love

We are love

God and you and I are one

God is in us and through us

God is all around us

God is in the hearts of our loved ones

Just as God is in our hearts

This is as true here

As it is in heaven

What is heaven?

Heaven is no different to the world

Heaven is an illusion

It is a realm of experience

Created to allow God to experience itself

To allow us to experiment and play with what comes after I am

But when we are ready

And only when we are ready

We let go of I am

And return to before I am

We dissolve into nothing

Nothing is pure love

We experience the pure bliss

Of being at one with God
