Eyes shut.
I feel my soul afire
As we see inside.
When our guard is down;
As we shatter into a million pieces.
And I have never held anything so
Breathtaking
To my lips.
Splendor merges.
Eyes open.

Butterfly
Oh butterfly.
You are lost and I am afraid
You cannot remember your way to the warmth of the sun.
How you arrived here is anyone’s guess.
Only you truly know the path you have journeyed.
I’ve tried to save you
But you’re up so high
Here inside
Where you are not meant to be.
Flitting and thrashing against the cold
Windowpane
For you know not the way to where you need to be.
When you settle
I will reach you.
I’ll put you back where you belong
In the open sky.
Please don’t look back.
This you must promise me
…………
You will fly.
Fly,
Fly.
Fly away free.

Crushed
I have seen
Loud and opinionated
Crushed by
Silent realities.

Always Knows
I wander freely
Journeying the valley floor.
And when I am worn and weary
I rest my bones
On the rivers edge.
I listen to her song;
Wonder at
Her ever changing beauty
Magnified through icicles and frost.
I see the snowy mountains rising
Strong.
Thoughts of past and future leave
Me.
Here I am.
And I remember
These songs resuscitate my heart;
Settle my mind.
Mother Earth always knows how to
Speak to my soul.
She knows without hesitation
What to say in the silence.

Time
Time did what the old ones said it would.
It went by fast and now
Sweet child you are grown.
Out into the world you have gone.
How did it feel so slow in moments
Only to be gone all at once?

Possess
The stars are so close
In this night sky
I may touch them,
Hold them if
I try.
Instead I will close my eyes
Let them remain where they shine
For I know they are not
Solely
Mine to possess.

You Must
There is nothing to define
You are
Just be
And let yourself unfold
All you are is already inside
You are made of golden sun
Of scars and dust
You must
You must
Just be

Echo
Softly whisper my name
I need to remember
I need to recall
I have forgotten
The sound
Which once fell from
Passionate lips.
There remains
Nothing more than
Echoes
In my brain
Of hearts now vanished.

Have Mine
Take it one step at a time baby.
You’ve lost your heart,
Here
Have mine.
I’ve lost my mind.
We will both get better.
Just give it time.

Back To Love
I want to hear you whisper my name
With a craving ignited
From unrevealed dimensions
Within.
(A breathless
Quivering voice.)
Eager.
Crawling on hands and knees.
Whispering as you plead for water;
Begging to saturate your parched lips.
I want to feel your hands searching for treasures;
Your fingertips wandering with anticipation
Of
New found discoveries
And your lips to trail every last inch of me
In dire need of reciprocation.
I want to feel you
Shudder
And reach a point of such great intensity,
A
Summit so high,
Your whole body becomes immobilized
Waiting for oxygen.
And I want to be the breath of life
That brings you back to
Love.
