"I really like the Zeno's Eros project. Patti Smith meets Zappa at the Knitting Factory in 1967 and are perceived as time travelers from the future."
--Bill Dumas Film Producer
"Love divided by a measured heart will never reach its mark."
Performance Poet Gabrielle along with progressive musician Ludent Tremmel founded the Zeno's Eros project in 2001 with the mission of merging spoken word poetry, performance art and progressive music. Based in the hills of Windham Connecticut, Zeno's Eros has become an open community of musicians and artists that appreciate the energy of working and creating outside the boundaries of genre. Although spoken word with musical backing is nothing new, Zeno's Eros creates energetic shows that combine an eclectic mix of spoken word, chant, song, jazz, world beat, and tribal music by focusing on the collaborative elements brought in by the various styles of the accompanists. Their live performances are often described as powerful and provocative.
[Zeno's Eros'] fusion of music with poetry advances the tradition
that began with [the] bohemian poets and continued through the Beats to
the present day.

A poem for your day:

Rest In All Love Is
------------------
I love you like this...
dark, i can barely see your eyes...
so dark my eyes are useless. My
heart opens wide its light on you
and your face brightens like the
static on a TV screen, or like the moment
we die and things begin to go all white
and
then
you're an angel laying before me...
the same one that has been there all along,
the one my eyes turned into something else and I
am ashamed I was deceived.
Then,
I see you, I see you like the energy that flows through my limbs,
now, like the breath that takes the universe and
gently creates another, now, like my feet walking
on glass, now, like I was never there.
I love you like I was never there. So gently, never there. In the dark
where I can barely see, and, rest in all that love is.
I look at you my Friend and I see a child at play
frolicking in muddy streams, splashing rivers into
oceans and carrying each molecule gently
to the sky for another round like a child handing water to his Father
for the first time.
You are neither boastful nor meek.
You are not shy nor are you seeking attention
There is simply abundance and grace with you my Friend
and you ask nothing of me...save I am my self...fully...always... and
you ask without asking...lead without
leading...cause...effortlessly.
