Me.....Tree

Rooted deep down within the moist and pungent

dermis of Goddess Gaia

My life lines stretching, searching

Tendrils of my time here

Blissfully blinded at first

Eyes forced wide open in the tumble of life

In the bitter realities of such an unreal

place

Yet, my roots reach and dive to depths

untouched by time or tumbles

My mama's heart beat pulsing also through

my own veins

Her resounding lub dub, lub dub, lub dub

my waking song, and my lullaby

The sacred soil nourishes my branches

Welcoming the birth of the long gestating

green glory 

My leaves sway

in the breathy breezes of a

slow summer day

Me.....Tree

She....We....Rooted

Sparking

 

 

Born in the beautiful burn

The flames of freedom

Leaping

Flicking fire feeding

our deepest desire

Burned away, the past, the pain

Rising of the ashes

Us....in love.....forged in the fire

of our freedom

Fueled by the touch of you

Fingers like flames sparking my flesh

aware, alive, awake

memories meeting

Singing with the soil and stone
Today
I am takin' the long way
home

Heartache, head aches
Healing now
You, my dear, have taught me how
To honor what seemed to be mistakes

It was never
a wrong way
Taking the long way
Only enhanced our endeavor

Enjoy the long way as the road winds
Through the valleys, over the hills
Past the place where our iron wills
Bring us back to our memories..... intertwined

We went long
We went real
Penned in peace..... we reveal
the lyrics of our own song

The truth..... we loved and lived
in ways pure
Of this we are certainly sure
We have healed, we forgive

Out here, in the winding and the wander
are 2 humbled souls
Etched......upon our heart's ancient scrolls
Are memories meeting on the way, longer
hg

Southern Comfort

Southern sultry comfort
The blue of the summer sky
Breezes heavy and humid
Enveloping us, enchanting us

The spark of our eye's kindling
Caught us unaware
The flame burst wide and deep
Penetrating the heavy night already steamy
In a flash we were lost inside the lust of love
And freely found in our union

Did you say you love me?
I thought I heard it
Perhaps I dreamed it
But I felt it
I saw it in your gazes
I knew it in the taste of us blended
I sang it in my mind in the breaking morn
before you stirred
awake
beside me

Lost and found
Me and you
Us
Southern Comfort

love at first breath

golden glance
heralded happenstance
rising of the magical moon
the dizziness of the sudden swoon

alive at first shared breath

inspiration deep
the swoon
realized in the steep
of the golden goddess moon

exhalation slow
birthing the hope in their lungs
so tight
love taught them how to let it all go
deep in the depths of their melded night

love at first breath
a chorus of inspiration
loneliness met its long coming death
love grew.....in glorious moon lit exhalation

Rainmaker

The rain's rhythmic refrain
Washing aware my tin heart
Each tap on the tin taking my pain
Transforming it into a brand new start

I lie awake humming in harmony to the tapping
I focus on the face of the rainmaker
I am instantly freed from time's trappings
As you heal me.....pain taker

Rolling in the dirt, now mud
In the open sharing our love
My heart thunders and pounds in repeating thuds
As the rainmaker loves me from above

Drop upon me, lover
Make me wet and wild with desire
Wash me away to that place no other
lover can send me....
Warm me by the flames of your inner fire

Rainmaker
Pain taker
Thunder shaker
Love maker
Love me aware

Separation Anxiety

 

Flesh and bone

Hearth and home

Fire needs stoking

In your absence I am choking

The smoke meets my lungs so tight

Alone I am, in the deep dark night

Watering.... my smoke screened eyes

When you are gone, my head tells me lies

 

Left here, in the space you created

Loneliness...alive, unabated

In my ears, the sound of the sea

Lapping against the shoreline, it does not comfort me

Walking alone along the beach

Hoping you feel my hand in her reach

To you

As I stare at the rough and rocky shore

I am so very glad you only went to the store
