Follow your Bliss

โ€œFollow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.โ€

~Joseph Campbell.

Can you feel bliss knocking at the door of your soul?

Youโ€™ll feel it knocking as the sun shines on your face

As the gentle breeze blows across your skin

As you melt into strong arms, hugging you tightly

As you fold into cozy blankets in your soft cloud-like bed on a chilly night

As you sit in front of a roaring fire feeling its warm glow

As you stare deeply into the eyes of your beloved

As you feel your heart open wide to all the bliss in the universe

As you stroke the soft fur of your pet

As you sit quietly in meditation

Watching the gorgeous pink sky as the sun rises

And the golden orange radiance as the sun sets

As you gaze in wonder at the starlit sky

And the rising of the orange harvest full moon

Feeling your beautiful baby squeeze your finger and smile for the first time

The feeling of your baby sleeping peacefully on your chest

Listening to the sound of waves crashing on the shore

The nourishing feeling of warm soup on a cold Winterโ€™s night

That first flush of infatuation

Then falling madly in love

The joy of deep belly laughs

Of dancing wildly

The peacefulness of laying on the earth amongst the trees

The satiated bliss after an orgasm

The cold, crisp, blue skies in Autumn

And the red, gold and orange leaves before they fall to the ground

The newborn lambs in Spring as they hop around the paddock with pure joy

The delicious slumber after a good cry

The glorious relaxation of a head massage

The sweetness on your tongue after the first bite of your favourite dessert

What brings you bliss?

Gratitude is knocking at the doorโ€ฆ.

Will you let it in?

Canโ€™t Resist You

You came crashing into my heart

A gift from the heavens

The intensity of you

Catches my breath

You claimed me

Caught me in your grasp

An arrow to my heart

I bleed for you

I tried to run

My fear of being broken

Again

Consumes me

You hold onto me

With fierce determination

Dedication

Still I resist you

Can this love be true

Our souls collide

Merging together

As destiny laughs

Have we loved before

I dream of you

Your dream of us

Blissfully us

Awakens my sleeping heart

Devoting your life to me

Without a secondโ€™s hesitation

So calm

And brave

Teach me how to love

Like this

Emerging from the dark

To swim in your light

Bathing in your essence

Purifying my spirit

With your truth

Be gentle with my heart

The glue

Holding it together

Is barely dry

Can I trust you

To protect this sacred love

To hold it with courage

Reverence

Tenderness

I canโ€™t resist you

Any longer

Take all of me

I am yours

You are mine

We are us

Grow with me

Fly with me

Dance with me

Hold on tight

It is time

To step into a new adventure

Together my love

Forever โค๏ธ

The Meadow

โ€œI’ve come as a spring
to lay beside your blossoms
To feel the glory of happiness
and spread your flowers aroundโ€
~Rumi

I met you

In an otherworldly meadow

No form

Just sparkling rays

Of pink, gold, blue

Floating

Releasing

Surrendering

To a divine love

A sacred sexual union

I am called to heal

Nourish

Embody your essence

Shower you in pleasure

In bliss

I am you

You are me

We are us

Returning to source

Fear has no place here

Resistance floats away

Let me enter your consciousness

Bound together

By our soul contract

Yet expansively free

To explore the depths

Of our shadow

Our minds

Our hearts

Always returning

To you

To us

Holding each other

With deep reverence

Gratitude

Passion

Releasing the urge

To grasp

Control

Reject

Rationalise

Feel into me

As I feel into you

Aligning our energies

Following our destiny

Evolving

Ascending

Together

Apart

Always connected

Let me kiss your wounds

Your warriorโ€™s scars

Reminding you

Of your strength

Your courage

Your willingness

To descend

With curiosity

Into the darkest corners

Of your being

Returning to the truth

Of who you are

You are my sacred mirror

I see my soul

Reflected in your eyes

The intensity

Of your gaze

Transports me

Into another dimension

Where time stands still

I am consumed by pleasure

Receiving you wholly

Touching

the deepest recesses

of my vessel

I am shaken

To the core

By the force of you

An unexpected connection

Two worlds apart

Blissfully reunited

Once again

To traverse this realm

Let us journey together

Adventures await us

Come with me

To the meadow

Shadow

All alone with my shadow
For far too long
I have been swallowed up
Only my shadow remains
Empty shoes where I used to stand
A formless fraud
Pretending myself into being
Laughing, crying, raging
Anything to feel alive
So so tired now
Yet unable to find solace in sleep
Peace evades me
I keep getting back up
After each knock down
I canโ€™t seem to help it
My longing for love is greater than my sorrow
The seductive void calls to me
Trust, trust, trustโ€ฆ
My mantra
Will the light return?
Or have I finally been extinguished?
Sweet surrender is where Iโ€™ll find my bliss.

The Abyss

โ€œSorrow prepares you for joy.
It violently sweeps everything out of your house,
so that new joy can find space to enter.
It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart,
so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place.
It pulls up the rotten roots,
so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow.
Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart,
far better things will take their place.โ€ย 
โ€•ย Rumi

Today I awoke breathless

My heart trying to beat through vice-like grief

Choked by tears

A call to the abyss

A voice asks me why

Why take that next breath

That next step

I know not why

I just know I must

I am lost

Adrift at sea

Rudderless

My heart is broken

But still loves

The loss is immeasurable

Yet there is relief in loss

Once a hostage to bitterness

Betrayal after betrayal

Left me an empty shell

Rage giving way to numbness

Busyness my costume

Hiding my dying spirit

Leaving was no longer a choice

But a necessity

My heart does not choose to beat

It just knows that it must

My body was carried away

And dropped into my deepest shadow

The pull to sink into the abyss was so powerful

So seductive

I could almost taste the relief

But I swam

With a ferocity I scarcely recognised

The heart finds a way to beat

No matter the grief

I must continue to breathe now

To love

As if my life depends on it

Because it does

I will open the dam

And let all the tears fall

I will allow the sea of loss

To flow over me

Through me

Around me

Until I am buoyant

Saturated by all the love that exists

My heart will beat

My lungs will breathe

Whilst I sit with my sadness

Trusting in the process

Of transformation

I am being re-birthed

And it fucking hurts!
