Raw
Posted May 23, 2023
on:Ripped, riddled, torn asunder
Stripped, straddled, ridden raw
A stall, bucket to quench, barrel of hay
Ignore the stench, brush & stay
Blanket on back, bridle veil
To ride saddle or bare back
Gallop, trot, or canter
Banter
Horse shoe ring not so much luck does it bring
Staring at freedom across the field
Jockey’s grooming whip in side-to yield or abide
Neigh I choose another way before they put me down one day
OCEAN
Posted April 3, 2023
on:Shell of bliss-shackle with a crackle of Earth’s fluid voice
With each tide reborn
Color’s enigmatic hue know the place in you that ceases to release
Opens it wide, purified with stinging salt
Wound joins waves to eradicate days like the receding sands of time
Ah, but the twinkle at twilight-that sparkling dance, effervescent glance, washes clean all wrath leaving only mysterious ease in it’s aftermath
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.
Dripper
Posted November 18, 2022
on:Tap tap
Dribble drop
Tears leaking from tightened spout
Wringing wrenching stripped not sealed
Watching waiting
Daring to be present
Unknown route
Praying hoping
Inhalation clear or polluted
Just keep breathing believing
Octopus arms cup
Overflowing waterfall pocket in an otherwise barren field
What will it yield
A guttural laugh starting low and uncertain
Relishing in its barrel curl ascension
Soul drum solo like an envelope sealed
Skirting edges peeks within
Writing regardless of who reads
Page marries hand
Inked ward
Eternal offspring
Time Shades
Posted November 15, 2022
on:Lines appear where once there were none
Leading from whence you’ve come
Going, going gone
Eyes and lips of bird prints
Smiling feet from every beat
Ice cream hips
Belly laughs and moans
Paths taken or not yet sewn
Creating a story whilst watching it unfold
Together we rise often alone we fall
Always the hand of God’s invisible reassurance
Faith in the unseen houses wisdom of all it really means
Gratitude an attitude of hope rather than acceptance
Joyous honor-a chance to participate in the dance
Mutual exchange of birthing sun for ebbing shade
To fade to be remade
My Love
Posted November 10, 2022
on:My Love holds me still
Anchored in certainty
Leaving no stone of doubt unturned
Digging deeper than footprints in the receding sand
Even if it lasts only as long, worth it to taste the salt, feel the cooling spray
To know the paradoxical joy of floating with faith’s anchor after being knocked head over heels in wonder
