Would I
bleed for you?
die for you?
All those things,
those needed emotions,
beating a steady rhythm,
surrounding,
encircling a heart
steadfast and true.
You are purity,
that angel,
heaven sent me,
to open my eyes.
You came to me,
of all people.
Would I bleed for you?
Would I die for you?
Yes.

Selfless Love.
I tell myself it is unselfish
Choosing not to love
Because I know
I cannot hold another's feelings
And my own
And I would cast theirs out
To maintain the purity of mine.
The rhythm of my heart is precise.
It is offbeat. And no man's drums
Could match it.
So I spare them the pain
Of loving me.
It's a kindness.
I tell myself this, and it frees me.
In truth, I'm too lazy to love you.
To chain myself to a phone
To open my thoughts
My home, my bed.
I like to be alone.
I am selfish.
A miserable misanthrope.
Please don't ask me
what true giving is.
I've never known the words.
For You
I'm right here, love
I have your hands
breathe in deeply
now- exhale
know everything
will be ok
you feel as though
your world is
crashing in around you
darkness is consuming
please know
that you aren't alone
let me hold you
let me be your shining star, in the midst of the large dark sky
I will embrace every portion of you
breathe my breath
allow my strength
to carry the heaviness within
open your eyes
look into my own
see love, what I see
a strong warrior, with a heart that burst with the sweetest love
a heart that my heart
whispers to often
a heart ’s rhythm
awakening my butterflies,
just so they can dance with your own
let me pour encouragement
and positive strength into
your tired veins
let me kiss away the scars
and breathe love upon your wounds
saturating them love’s purity
by accident you entered
into my silent world
by choice you have remained
my heart connected
you are, my iris in the rolling green fields
my holding comfort in the painful hours
the song my heart knows
my silent secret warrior
my love
I'm here ....for you

The Gift of Giving
True giving comes from the heart. Being generous is truly an art.
When you need me, I am there. I will give you all I have, I dont care.
I see the purity in your need, I will give and give and give until I bleed.
Once you get into the rhythm of being bountiful, life will reward you and be plentiful.

#SelflessNatureOfTrueGiving #Challenge
Immaterial Life
I had once asked you,
"how do you keep on
giving and giving,
and asking nothing in return?"
And what you said was,
"Darling,
let me tell you something.
A joy I used to think,
getting all material things.
collecting and hoarding
all sorts of trinkets,
yet my rhythm for hunger,
never abated.
One eve I went out,
so bothered by this
gnawing persistency,
and gave my most precious prize away.
Thought to have lost my mind,
I almost asked for it back,
but the joy I found,
the smile I saw,
a single virtuous purity came upon me,
and at last,
I could be at rest,
be content."
#Blessed
True charity, you see
that's a gift to you from me.
Giving selflessly is
the height of purity.
Selfish motivations,
a heartless imitation
of those who give for nothing
just for ego inflations.
Taking selfies with the poor,
saying "hashtag #BlessTheLord."
All you're hoping for
Is attention, more and more.
Put down the phone,
we aren't throwing you a bone.
Expect nothing in return
or leave the needy alone.
Listen to their hearts,
and with your ego, you will part.
Give in to the soulful rhythm
That's where we need to start.
Music
We pour out our hearts.
You sing it every waking hour.
I see your fingers moving on their own,
tapping, remembering, capturing the sounds.
I love what we do, selling our souls
to the beast they call music that others might know
there's more to these tunes, to these rhythms, these melodies.
There's chords, progressions, notes, technique.
I forget where the instrument ends and then there's me,
but you, you capture each little note
in its purest, most beautiful essence
you move with the flow, follow each diminuendo
As much as I don't know where my music comes from
I wonder how it is you exist without it.
We'll keep listening and playing, moving and driving,
attempting to capture art in all its purity
Long nights, long days-- I feel it all,
but you sit each day, ready and eager,
giving your soul, your heart, your mind, your body,
building and ebbing, beautifully crafting
in order to give the most human of things:
feeling and love and art
unchanged and always changing since the beginning of time.
You were crafted in the manner of Jubal,
and I see it now
as you give your heart to share humanity with all.
