Out of all the sky blue
Pictures riding by
Across the gray landscape
No other blue sky scene
Captures me quite like
A glimpse of
Blue white pools
Shining through
Parting my clouds
A momentary relief
Upon seeing you
All the feels

Above all else
One can be wise
Wealthy and generous
Kind as earth is wide
But unless their touch
Gives and receives
Stories gently
Our lives an imprint
Of our family tree
The sting of derision
Hurts them more than me
Storykeepers spreading
Joy of living
From petal to seed
Guiding light
Each waking moment
Turns over hoping
One day to lay eyes
Your rising every morning
Even behind closed lids
I embrace your light
Reflected between us
I lament the days
You hid your face
Days like this
Every living thing
Holds still
Breath pensive
As if you entered in
The room adorned
Adored by all
Time stood still
All eyes ablaze
All elements in tune
As waves obey the moon
We rise and fall
Too soon
Solis
No other presence both
Warms and soothes
Casts shadows
Heals and burns
Dawns and rules
Night sky yearns
Earth searing
Growth expounding
Her worth
In daily doses
As she moves closer
We vacate hiding places
Abandon cinemas
Theatre audiences
To meet her on sand
Absorb her all
In glorious array
Until cloud curtains
Herald rain
Longing sun kiss
Cheeks hand brush pink
Thirst taste on lips
Till we meet again
A love like this
Even after
All this time
The sun
Never says
To the earth
"You owe me"
Look what happens
With a love
Like that.
It lights
The whole sky.
~ From The Gift:
Poems by Hafiz, 1999.
By Daniel Ladinsky
Be mine
Though perilous labour
Sucks wind out of wings
Daily we break out
Of old habits
Singing sweetly harmony
With breeze stinging
Lips and cheeks
Faint glow inspires
Smiles and images
Of edge of tomorrow
Landscapes cascading
Over cliffs
Considering how to
Sound and look best
Humming along with you
Always return home
To rest
String me along
Red silk
Love is no contest
Of reciprocity
If it were
Ours a game of tag
Where i am always it
Instead, a gift of sound
As if handing you
Every note wrapped
In red silk ribbon
From Chopin's ninth night
You responding only
With the miniscule slip
Of tear sliding down cheek
Eloquent and appropriate
For one such as this
Sailor’s warning
Most exquisite sign
Illuminates the sky
Storm charges by
Bones rejoining
Her showering peace
Taunting me
Playing partners
Lightning smile dawning
Thunder rumble
Through my veins
Wayward glances
Broken sighs yawning
Her stage circumference
Straddle far horizons
All I see in front of me
I hold each waking morning
Loving never leaving
‘Nothing is absolute
Frida Kahlo
Everything changes
Everything moves
Everything revolves
Everything flies
And goes away.
I am that clumsy human
Always loving
Loving
Loving.
And loving.
And never,
Leaving.’
