I am the clouds.....

 

 

Sing me your own song

on a blanket under the green

leafed tree

Next to the lake..calm

In Summer's warm set

Sing to me your personal psalm

 

We become the flowers, the grass

the water

As we trace the sun's pass

across the perfect puffy clouded

sky

 

I am those clouds drifting

as your lyrics and melody

you are gifting

to my ears and my heart

 

Sing your song to me

The one that tells me who

you are

And I will sing it to myself

When from you I am

far

 

 

Make the Most of the Least

Making the best of what we have
Making what we have the best
Besting another never made sense
to me
How can one grow in the compost
of another's misery
Make what you have yours

Share
it
if
you
care
for
it
Give
it
if
you
can
live
it
Take
it away
only if the
stakes
you are prepared to
pay

Is it worth the giving
if the grieving
out weighs
the gifting

If it hurts so much to
love someone
else easy
If it feels like a
curse
The message is clear
You gotta love
you first

To make the best of the love
you got
There is one truth that you
forgot
In order to give it
You gotta live it
In your own heart
Before a counterpart
Will walk beside
Matching the cadence of your
stride
Make the most of the least
of your pride
Let your fears commit
suicide

Making the best of what we have
Making what we have the best
Besting another never made sense
to me
How can one grow in the compost
of another's misery
Make the love you have be yours......
first

Hypnotized

 

 

 

The power of the sun rising

golden

Envibes the wisdom she

has been holdin'

To our souls, to our minds

Answers....with every sunrise

Ours alone to find

 

Ask the questions the moon

gifted in your dreams

The land where nothing is

as it seems

Yet, there is the union of our souls

and minds melded

That knows in dreams where

what's real seems ended

That night dreams could very well be 

our reality

Our days only figments

of imaginary

synergy

 

Today's powerful rise of the sun...gold

Reminds me I am getting old

Yet wiser and more cunning

Let my soul tan in the daily sunning

It turns golden as the sun's

mighty rise

As I wake to my day dreams....

hypnotized

 

Heat of the Heavens

Handful of stars
In their fall this time
I risked and reached out
I caught them
in their deep descent
to the ground I knew before
on my knees
Yet, I stood this time
and in my rising, I touched
those stars that once
lit my night

The brilliance of the light once
far off
Warms my lonely grasp, so cold
Melts the memories
Cauterizes the wound where
love, left hanging on the
cross,
left me with the
taste
of your rusted spike
A scar I shall wear for life
Where did our fallen love
leave its
mark on you ?

Holding stars in my quivering hand
Scar has become flesh knitted together
Skin will once again cover
the hole you bestowed
when you shot across the sky
As a hot white wonder filled super
nova of neurosis
Burned out before you ever reached
your destination
A stone in space, caught in orbit around
my planet heart
I wish you to know again the
heat of the heavens
I hold in my hand...healing

Tonight, I throw my stars above my
head
They will live above my bed
Adorning my ceiling
Warming my soul.....
cold
Watching o'er me
Shining in the dark so that
I will find my way
I know they will burn out as well
one day
The day I allow myself to be
loved
As simply and easily as the promise
of  the star's love stories 
told from above
Love organic and born of grace's
sweet calm
No more need to take the spike
to my
open palm

No more need to die upon the cross
This third time I will rise
and my once stinging eyes
Will be filled with the peace of joy
My tears..... white 
as the light
of the love storied stars
Will wash me clean
and
kiss away my scars

Dusty Way

Dusty day
Dusty life
Dusty marriage
Dusty wife
Dust in the corners
of my mind
Dust covering the answers
I am to find
The move back from CA
killed us, you, me
Bit by Bit...mile by
mile
Now we are lost under all
the debris
and I can't find my
smile
Do I dust it off
Do I wish to
In your arms still soft
I no longer know what to
do
I don't feel like I fit there
anymore
We have grown apart
Our ships sailed to separate
shores

You're on land, me still riding
the ocean
Someone tell my heart
That it's OK to clear the gathering
dust
It's not the fault of either one of
us
It just is, as she tells me often
This dusty day I close the lid
of the coffin
On a love that saved me
and made me
whole
Fast forward.... I am
whole enough
to know
the time has come to
let us go

Birthed of Battles

Won the battle you say
I never came to it anyway
That was not me you were fighting
on that hill
Your opponents are your many fears
yet you never will
admit such a blatant truth
As you stand on the hill alone
doing anything to coax your youth
into staying, as you feel it flee
One day, you will meet the cold
reality

Your life was birthed of battles
Herding your friends through gates
like as many head of cattle
No matter how loudly you shake and
rattle
your self imposed chains
I won't come and cut them as they rust
in the driving rain
falling from your lonely, burning eyes
I've been the fool of your fears as you criticize
all I am and am comfortably being
I am done, you can go.... and in your fleeing
Know there will be no one chasing behind
I've got better things to do with my time

Won the battle you say
Good for you, right on.... hooray!!!!
I am off to walk my road of peace with the
wind warm on my face 
A new life for me to embrace
Enjoy the fight that keeps you in your tower
High above everyone else, so much power
Must feel pretty good, how's that working
out for you?
Won't be long....another battle will ensue
A soon as you feel ignored and small
So be it...hope it's worth it all

the hot pink rise of the sun

I feel your pain

Yet, mine, is undetectable

Too close for comfort

Too real for words

But, yours I know, yours

I know

 

Reflecting for each other

Resounding... regrouping

Rejoining the fold

After we pick each other up

from the cold hard

ground of our warm and wild 

lives

 

Feel my pain, teach me

about it

Help me access the tears

that torment me....

laughing

They haunt me in the deep

night....calling my

name from the shadows

As I gather and allow the courage to

look....to meet them

They disappear.....seductive, swift 

specters

they are....

 

Ghosts lurking, tales tempting

The fear of my own tears

keeps me locked up.... trembling

Head under the covers

Heart pounding in my heavily

laden chest

 

Help me know my pain.....

teach me

I need to know, I want to

know it

Time to banish the ghosts

Send them far

away

in the hot pink rise

of the sun
