too much love will kill you

A video I found touching. The lyrics are quite meaningful but it's more than words:

The Blur

My mind settles on dust from your table, I play with the white paper you left in my heart

It doesn't feel like a void, it just feels a bit weird that you're not around anymore

I don't see the morning sun shine on my eyelids and wake up to your emails anymore

You touched that part of me I didn't know ever existed

I mellow down my thoughts and begin to pack up, I have to make a new journey now

It doesn't feel the same anymore, the birds sing but I don't feel the tune; the leaves rustle but I don't feel the dust rubbing against it's veins

The dotted dress I used to wear doesn't smell of you anymore

Why do we have to go on, why can't we tarry. Why do we hit the next button?

My life drops into silence for a week and I wish I were reborn a new being.

But who has seen tomorrow?

I have learnt to...

I have learnt to swim today through thick and thin and tinges of gray

I have learnt to sing today as clear as an echo inside a chimney in the warfront

I have learnt to sleep today as peacefully as the butterfly drops itself on a tiny flower

I have learnt to write today as much as could fill my little desk with crushed paper and blotting ink

I have learnt to lie today as much as could help me cheat myself again and again

I have learnt to let go today as much as I could wade through a sunkissed cornfield and never worry about returning home

I have learnt to fly today as a free bird that flaps it's wings through thin autumn air

Have I told You?

When I woke up this morning and washed my face in the sublime rays of the morning sun, did I tell you that I loved you. When you drank the last dregs of tea from your porcelain cup and looked at me with your still heart, did I tell you that I loved you. When your memory that is made of smoke, of light, travelled light years, did I tell you that I love you. When the dry autumn leaves revolved in your soul, did I tell you that I loved you. When in your eyes the flames of the twilight fought, did I tell you that I loved you. When you were happy as embers, did I tell you that I loved you. When you were sad as a mendicant's monotone, did I tell you I loved you. When I watched my words from a long way off, did I tell you that I loved you. When my words were more yours than mine, did I tell you that I loved you. When you climbed the same damp wall and blamed the cruel sport, I loved you. When you filled everything, yes everything I loved you. When hurricanes of dreams knocked over at my door, did I tell you that I loved you. When my heart exuded a joie de vivre, did I tell you I loved you. When the orchestral sounded from the trees I loved you. When the newly born took nourishment from nature I loved you. When you freed the flock of arrows in a frenzy I loved you. When the numberless hearts of winds were beating over our loving silence I loved you. When the wind waved the clouds like white hankerchief on a blue sky I loved you. When your solitude lingered and lengthened like the afternoon shadow I loved you. When you walked barefoot in the wet streets I loved you. When we swam upstream in the midst of outer waves I loved you. When you undermined the horizon with your absence I loved you. When a piece of the sun burnt like coin in my hand I loved you. When my heart closed like a nocturnal flower I loved you. When birds fled and migrated south I loved you.

My Evening Cup

Today when I sit sipping tea in the heat

To this dilemma beat

And give you a treat

Not cheat

Or mislead

Those are things you don't need

Or greet, at the end of day

I can make hay

even make the sun stay

And hold the light of day in my palm

You know it from the 23rd Psalm

That "the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want"

In his light I lose the 'me' and make it blunt

and when I travel into his subtle world beyond the corporal

I feel I absorb his purity, love, beauty, happiness and wisdom

I see not with my eyes or hear with my ears

But through them.

I find equal happiness in his subtleties

And, equal eternity in my follies.
