Infernal
Posted March 2, 2023
on:Silver bullet locked and loaded
Ink bled magnetic cement
Current on a bed of fiber soaking each utterance before it can breathe
Choking on triumphant hope-invisible cloak of armor
Your touch a fuse-electric-ignites my being
Trail blazing across my cheek
The trigger your thumb
Target my guttural impulses
A silent moan knows no home
Vagrant eternal
This love’s inferno hero
Return
Posted January 5, 2023
on:Winding the corner to a widening perspective
Pinholes of light in darkened peripheral
Tears cascade crumbles of forgotten mud in cracked awakening smiles
Sinew stretches, relaxes, settles
Heartbeat steadies
Breath even
Return to peace if even just a moment
Before turned upside down again
This dance of fate and chance held in arms’ will
A cacophony of wonders running the gamut of emotions
If life be a symphony play on-til no more chords echo in the twists and turns of the marrow of my bones
X-MAS

on:Ribbons and bows
Joys replace woes
Suspended strife
Focus on glories of life
Hearts as full as bellies
Smiles as warm as hearths
Silent union across Earth
As we bow our heads
Lift our souls
And give thanks
Blessed rest
Ready to open the door for more…of whatever 2023 may be

on:The window remains
The pane the same
But the view has changed along with her name
What began as a dance now a steadfast stance
Took a chance on romance
Its roots dug deep-grew a child, birthed a family-beautiful fruits of labor
From girl to woman, lover, partner, mother
Not yet old, but feeling time begin to fold
Living in the chasm’s interim
Laughter, tears, worry, joy, fears
Emotions once shuffled like toys, then questioned as ploys, now simply a fluid way of life
Surfing some, wading others
Toe dips, deep plunges, lazy breaths on sunny rocks, gasping for air between undulating knocks
Rhythmic flow in the zone
Alternately joyous, wondering, terrified, and thrown
Blissful sail of peace gives them all momentum, meaning-to a common centered place, a safe space
Home
Home is where the heart is
Maybe home is the heart
When nearer to the end where does one begin and the other end?
Traveler
Posted December 7, 2022
on:Time a tapered ticket taker on the platform of never ending travel
Soul weary or taking flight
Another midnight journey-frightened delight
Wanting only to be near a friend…or the end
Stop on the tracks
Look at the mountains rolling back
Get off and run naked through the blanketed grass-feeling the blades tickle your ass
Laugh without worry or care
Be all that you dare
Stare down the walls-obstacles in disguise-really just opportunities to rise
Travel alone together
Occasionally, or on the regular
Here, there, or anywhere
Just Travel.

on:I keep his picture clear before me on my desk to see every day. His back turned in free, unfiltered movement-not to exclude, but to explore. A constant reminder for me to hold the space for him, while simultaneously letting him discover his own way. Parenting- the ultimate paradox, a challenging reward of investing so much with no guarantee of return…will the foundation you laid continue to solidify their steps, or will life (and their choices) create cracks upon which they stumble and fall? More importantly, did you prepare them to get up, and continue in faith and trust amidst all the soft and hardened ground? What will you be privy to in their deepest thoughts and experiences, and what will be kept from you, whether or not it should be?
A deeper space in my heart lit up when he was born, one I never knew existed, and one that can now never be extinguished. All I can do, all any of us mothers can do, is accomplish the impossible feat of being a revolving door of security, love, boundaries, and freedom…to always be there as they come and go, with one arm extended to catch, embrace and hold, and the other open wide to let them go out again on the other side.
Life

on:Loving
Longing
Being believing
Doubting questioning
Free fall Faith
Birth to death
Breath between
We smile as easily as frown until we realize there is no crown, or competition to rule
You are your own sovereign, infusing life with merriment, meaning, or strife
A blink and it’s done just as it’s begun…heart full of laughter, knowing, and questions-deepened exposed, yet still mystery unfolds
Will it end, or eternally bend in a loop of souls-wondrous creation, elation, mind boggling ethereal ascension
A life is grown as much from the unknown as what is certain
We are born to live, love, learn & grow…enjoy and die-to be reborn again
For what or when only Spirit knows and with it all grows and glows
Adore You
Posted November 1, 2022
on:Start the day by my side because you’re already always inside
Take my hand as we traverse this land, since the energy between us is eternally an invisible band
Let me stare into the depth of the hue of you, as you open the windows to your soul like you do
Lips pressed decidedly against your cheek, as I inhale the scent of you, I have found what I seek
I Adore You!
REBIRTH
Posted October 12, 2022
on:Look inside the shadows of your mind
Find the truth hiding to be found
Seek-take a peek
Secrets pets
Wishes kept
Worries wept
Listen to the drops of love’s drying tears
Feel the breeze of unseen wind upon the hair of your hand
Taste the salt of daggers’ wounds
Deep within soul’s womb
Begin again
