comfortable silence #poem

it takes two ancient hearts

to be able to relish in

the comfortable silences

afire in scarlet disguise #poem

drinking liquid lips

afire in scarlet disguise

fervent grasping

lipstick stains skin

skin strains against skin

tasting infamous sin

rhyming #poem

early morning blues

segue into thoughts of you

afternoon delight

always so right

sugar sweet day dreaming

nights of passion screaming

#poetry

sunbeams strive to simulate

the splendid radiance

of your inner light and spirit

~

your rays; warming to the core

blot out all obscurity

taming a suspicious heart

shell of what once was #poem

delicate yet enduring

                                            hollowed by years of wear and weathering

                                   filigreed lace patterning veins

              network

                                   to hold a shell

                                                                                           of what

                                        once was

I go to nature…

I go to nature to calm, center and ground.

To be fully present

in the deep, healing silence

where I can hear more than ever

the wise whispers of my Creator

and of my soul.

rainbow #poem

I saw a rainbow the other day
hugging the sun
in a distant embrace
like loved ones do~
even if you don’t hear from them
or see them
you know they’re there

hawk #poem

hawk soaring overhead

circling

swooping by

flying parallel to me as I drive

wings outstretched

effortless balance

spirit

winter hearts #poem

the frost of the night

rabbit still

beckons wandering souls

as vestiges of summer

bind tightly

round winter hearts

eager for release

Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Don’t use new age jargon to disempower and manipulate others.

~~~~~

I shine the light in the darkest places

I ask the questions that no one else asks

I make people uncomfortable

This is the medicine I carry

I see the sun and the moon are talking again #poem

I see the sun and the moon are talking again

cosmic musings between old friends

sharing resolutions for revolutions

in the year ahead

seahorse #poem

seahorse

so magical

so fragile

so frail

anchors itself with its tail

till ready to release and set sail

into a vast ocean of possibilities

the sun and the moon were talking today #poetry

the sun and the moon were talking today

mirroring each other at opposite ends of the sky

complimenting balance and reflections

long lost friends speaking as though they hadn’t seen each other in ages

blue sky and sun had beguiled me out of doors

but bone chilling winds lashed and laughed

the sun was distracted

yet the clouds wore golden shoulders as they marched over cobalt canvas

showing me things to come as they spoke of 2015

it was all hopeful and bright

so I left; frosted but warmed on the inside

New Year #poem

2015

welcome to the scene

ringing in raw power

within the first hour

new beginnings

freeing endings

changes anon

bring it on!

perfection #poem

perfection

an illusion

sought by millions

willing to step into the gerbil wheel

of outward seeking

and guaranteed disappointment
