WHY DO WE HURT THE MOST?

Why do we hurt the most
The people whom we love the most
And who love us the most?
Why do we push away the strongest
The people who pull us the deepest?
Why do we understand the least
The people who understand us the most?
Why do we lose
Those who have found us?

Poems from the inner river

THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE

Free yourself of the fear of losing her
Free yourself of the thought of having
Or not having her
That’s not for you to control or decide
Only God has that Power
The only power you have is the power of love
All you can do is to love her
Love is life and Love is light
If you have love in your heart for her
Then just love her
And if you have no way of directly giving
Or showing that love to her
Then just let the love flow through you
And flow out of you
And flow out into the universe…

Your love will find its way to her
In the workings of the universe
One way or another.

FOR INTIMACY

Attraction is not enough
Seduction is not enough
Arousal is not enough
Being turned on is not enough
Being in the mood is not enough
Horniness is not enough
Boredom is not enough
Playfulness is not enough 
Liking a lot is not enough
Friendship is not enough
A craving need is not enough
Curiosity is not enough 
Propensity is not enough
And even love is not enough
Not any longer -
I need the deepest inner feeling
That’s compatible and stronger
In sync with spiritual healing.
