Live like a flower of many petals:
~
Reach for the sun,
sway in the wind,
thirst for the rain,
and die to be plucked.
~
Nourish others with your sweetness,
release seeds of Love into the World,
and paint on Nature’s canvas
with the unique colors of your Life.

Out Of Water

I dug myself a deep hole
and blindly jumped right in.
On my own, I dove head-first
into that bottle of gin.
Like a lobster in the pot
I relaxed into sloe breath
while everything around me
almost simmered me to death.
It’s the ones I hurt the most
that have been my saving grace;
God was right in front of me
waving a finger in [...]
This Time of Year

The crispy little tenderlings
that go crunch beneath my feet
releasing me from summer things
are predicting trick-or-treat.
Soon will come the harvest’s reapings,
a bountiful happy feast,
spread out about the table’s wings
with mirthy golden honey-yeast.
Then we’ll dress in yuletide trimmings
the home, hearth and even me!
And package our hearts for giftings
while setting our wishes free.
For some sprinkled snowcream pleasings,
we’ll belt [...]
Of A Lifetime

(why we built these walls)
You and I
not as we are
long ago in
a place so far
In turmoil
of secrets known
I grabbed your hand
and hid you ‘lone
Behind walls
of silent heart
you’re never found
we’re kept apart
Where you went
I never knew
yet prayed you well
and missed you true…

The Worst Lie of All
Posted in poetry, tagged all, anger, lie, love, of, pain, poetry, silence, the, worst on October 24, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Be quiet
deny it
but don’t say a word
I’m broken
unspoken
the things I have heard
Just give me
this moment
to believe the absurd
To be right
yet so wrong
the line is so blurred
As I sit
in the spit
of all that’s occurred
I just want
to know if
I’ll be remembered

Upon The Wings Of A Dream
Posted in poetry, tagged a, dream, flight, friendship, love, of, poetry, the, upon, wings on October 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Of all the dreams I’ve dared to dream
my heart is grounded to one from youth
of how I wanted my life to be
and all the things I wanted to do
With all my hopes of love and peace
for this world to see and learn
wishing for a combined release
of all hatred, fear and anger
But somewhere else along the [...]
In the Hands of a Child

Some things
should never be
in the hands of a child
I had
your “ten-minute game”
attention for awhile
You got
off “stress-relief”
fell asleep with a smile
You thought
I was too young
to remember at five
But I
still am fighting
the memory’s alive
I learned
how to get the
favor I never gained
In your
eyes filled with lies
after the day that stained
I grew
away from you
into addiction’s grip
You blamed
me (acting out)
and [...]
