Shake – June 10, 2019

Drifting, As the cloud Passes by. The bird teetering Through the breeze. The gentle shake that comes From the leaves, Soothes the aching soul. Unopened eyes, And rambling To the melody Sung. Refuge found In everything That was, And is to come. But right now, As the clouds stand still In their place. Birds chirping … Continue reading Shake – June 10, 2019 →

Spinning Tunnel – June 5, 2019

Untamed, tunnel spinning. The fairgrounds of grief. Dark And lonely. The murmurs coming from The end, calling us To the opening Across the way. The path unkind, So close. Arms stretched out Never quite there. Finger tips scratching The surface, Always present Slipping and clawing for traction. Shouting out silently For everyone to hear. The … Continue reading Spinning Tunnel – June 5, 2019 →

Star Love – May 20, 2019

When I think of you I’m rocketed to the stars! Your love encircles me, And sets me down gently when I need to be. ~~~ I’m afraid The girl you once new Has faded slightly, But the embers still burn brightly. ~~~ I’m searching And I’ll never stop. I hope that part, Is the one … Continue reading Star Love – May 20, 2019 →

Dear Daughter – June 4, 2019

Your light, Has brought me back To were I left Her. ~ Lying in the dust Blowing away Grain by grain. ~~~ Your light, Brings me Right here, And now, Tied to then. ~~~ Your light, Let’s me see Through to my heart ~ Where I have been hiding Like an angry child, Unfound. ~~~ … Continue reading Dear Daughter – June 4, 2019 →

River Play – June 4, 2019

Toe tip Taps the clear Chilled stream. Sending a buzz Of hair standing on end Up through My leg, As it sinks into the pool. The shock spreads, The glass of ice water Clings to my skin, Detaining the Circulation of life. My eyes shoot open, Sprinkled with a splash Of the juice From the … Continue reading River Play – June 4, 2019 →

Obligatory Love – May 31, 2019

Working the room, A Filial beloved Drowns in The must permeating. ~~~ Building, Layers on skin. Blinding eyes To truth. ~~~ Sitting, solitary. An empty room surrounds me. The chill of metal On my legs Pressing into my hide, As one, we sit in place. ~~~ White walls Evade emotion. Fluorescent bulbs, No windows Seal … Continue reading Obligatory Love – May 31, 2019 →

Hidden – May 30, 2019

I am no weakling I will not break At your silent quivers Your thrown words. Who you think I am, Or want me to be? This is me, I am no weakling Beckoned by your call. My heart speaks And I will hear her. Maybe one day, You will Bask in the love That has … Continue reading Hidden – May 30, 2019 →

Emptiness – May 30, 2019

This emptiness Is a feeling Growling in my gut. It festers Molding into something completely different. The agitation Takes over I’m not who I want to be. Where is the sweet release I’m looking for? Lost Underneath The emptiness That has grown inside me.

Eyes Wide Open – May 20, 2019

Pupils dilated. I see through to your sadness, Underneath into the pools of love. Pain floats close to the surface. Where ripples love to play, Distorting what you have to give. The anger stings the outstretched hand. Are your eyes wide open, Or halfway closed?

Knot – May 24, 2019

The paralyzing knot Death ties around Fresh meat, Who in turn Twist and flop Tangled. Is itself, A curse. That will skip circles Weaving a butcher’s string Through  A never ending Dream-like state. Battles are won and lost. The fear, Keeps the mood heightened. Tied down, State of fight or flight. Left in the ruins … Continue reading Knot – May 24, 2019 →
