...a bird in my rib cage
That would sing in the cold.
It’s wings once overlapped -Trapped
In tight spaces but upon seeing your face they taste freedom As they start to unfold.
Orchids..... once pure black you Painted to white.
Petals and stems Once Consumed by the night
now stretch out towards you like a
Thousand stars burning bright.
I’m tasting your lips and embracing your light.
Can you taste me too?
Breathing deep into...

…hint of mystery
A winsome energy hung in the air
Whispers of essential oils
Wafted about my hair
Crystals and bright colored stones
Adorned the windowsill
I should be feeling comfortable
But had a bit of a worry, still
The scented oils smelled stronger
As I approached a large armchair
I had come to get an understanding
For that steadfast sense
I belonged elsewhere
The kindly lady beside the desk
Welcomed me right in
She thanked me then said,
"Take a seat, and then we can begin."
And so began the session
Not a thing felt odd or strange
Though…

Read More…my dragon's back,
my shield and armour made from scales no foe would dare attack.
I roam about the countryside and seek to do good deeds,
the peasants are such simple folk, I'm pleased to fill their needs.
No need to tilt at windmills, my opponents are quite real,
they smile and offer pleasantries but lie and cheat and steal.
With promises and hope for all, but never do deliver,
I vow to make them penitent with arrows from my quiver.
The overlords are arrogant, they feel they are immune,
but they've not dealt with dragons, perhaps they'll change their…

Read More…hard to fight,
Fight my demons no one see's,
like darkness they follow me,
Shadows on my walls only my mind can see,
another night passed by the tick tick tick of my wall clock,
Here I'll stay, Here I lay watching my shadow dance once again,
Another night passed by the loneliness of a phone screens light,
As the sun rises I see my shadow start to move back into my mind as the world comes back to life,
A show I'll never miss, When the darkness moves within the light,
The most beautiful sight,
I say goodbye to…

Read More…noised fusion, Soft intrusion
you always were static confusion
Deep connection, Slow momentum
You always were an Apprehension
Complex concept, yet Lucid dreamt
You always were a place where my storm's slept
Constellation, Live Creation
You always were my motivation
Fragmented eyes, Deceiving lies
You always were the highest tides
Constellation, Complex Creation
You always were where life Collides
Disillusioned, Beauty ruined
You always were a warm…

Read More…approach the gate
You're loving me
And then you stop...
You stop... and make me wait
The symphony begins again
A smooth adagio
You're loving me
Again you stop...
You stop... and make me wait
Anticipation fills the air
I'm in a frenzied state
Why must you stop
You torture me...
You stop... and make me wait
My God, I'm going to kill you
If you stop and make me wait
You're loving me
So divinely
This time I cannot wait
Clutched in embrace
The cymbals crash
What magic you create
When loving me
Till I vibrate
I love you…

Read More…sound of the great waves is that of a thousand souls
Souls gasping and crying, whispering and sighing
The sun dips below the horizon and ignites a blaze that knows no bounds
The clouds burst into flames and the sea is burning
Slowly, the fire fades and a new face smiles upon the sky
Like an elegant mistress in a silver evening gown, Luna glides across the heavens
Soon the graceful lady casts her sparkling jewels about
The stars glimmer in a glow of chill as the wind is cooled by darkness
A streak of gold falls into the waters…

Read More…sun arose bright and New,
Memories untainted despite they’re Old,
Life had lost its glory and its Hue,
Secretly pining over thoughts Untold.
Countless opportunities Await,
No dearth of distractions to Evade,
Relentless in effort to shoulder this Weight,
Deceiving the world with a Masquerade.
Even in moments of blissful Exhilaration,
The heart prevailed over immortal Time,
Failing to yield to Adaptation,
Will this Pain last a Lifetime ?
The sun arose with awareness Renewed,
Acceptance was the key to Liberation,
The heart and mind no longer at Feud,
For Pain was the fuel to…

Read More…am stuck in a void between what I want and what I need.
There I see you in the want, and another in the need.
You are in a dream of desire and mystery, the unknown. The other is reality of agape love and understanding.
You are silent, unwilling to communicate, all through my attempts to connect have been thwarted aside.
The other, I have fully expressed myself leaving no subject off limits, we communicate without hesitation, even talking about you.
The common bond of you and the other is the ‘arts.’
You pretend to be other people on stage…

Read More...head upon his chest
Held safely in his tender arms
Completely at rest
No other place feels safer
My worries all are stilled
When I lay beside him
All I feel is thrilled
When he says "I love you"
My heart claims every word
It feels my dreams have all come true
When those three words are heard
When I gaze into his eyes
They sparkle with starlight
His smile reflecting the moon's glow
Emblazons the ardent night
To have this sweet man in my life
Having said, "I love you, too"
I cannot wait to amend that
To tell...
