I’m no-one. You are everything
I’m no-one. You are everything
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
When we love someone more than our-self. We have known real love.
I remember the nights in Tubingen, Germany roaming with her.
We roamed the old city. Hand in hand.
She gave me everything knowing I had nothing left to give.Beautiful Brigitte laid with me in a bed of nails,
knowing I was drowning in bad memories and seeking new dreams.
She taught me what true love is.
When you realize. “You are no-one and your love is everything.”
Old men know. Words are meaningless.
Love words and words of hate can be forgotten with time and separation.
I believe real proof of love is 50 years of living together.
Surviving the good and bad day.
I dream of Tubingen,
Where I learn we must be stripped bare.
Allow old wounds to bleed.
Rise up to a better place.
Be fearless in the dance of love and life.
I held beautiful Brigitte close in a sleeping bag by the Tubingen river.
A thousand kids drinking, laughing and howling at the moon near.
Her kind words changed my life. I learn what love should be. She whispered.
“I’m no-one. You are everything.”
Old age had taught me. Love can be a curse or a blessing.
Real love is hard work. You must be tender, kind and strong.
When you love someone.
You give all you got and are thankful for the gifts of love in return..
Today I’m wise.
I learn.
I’m no-one and you are everything.

Yes… Real love, when you put your own needs aside and do whatever it takes to please the needs of the other. Beautiful connection and indescribable feeling.

in the ancient indian texts it says when you lose your identity in love – no longer know who you are – have no ego left in the act of loving – merge with the lover as with nature – no more an I – then truly are you ready to merge with the absolute – the final lover.
