The Bureau of Unsent

the morning light,
in the evening rain
I'm still searching
for your eyes.


in the crowds,
in the silence
I'm still searching
for your touch.


but it's just a memory now.


fading like the light
at nightfall.
I'm left with...

Easy To Forget

So easy it is to forget,
The seriousness of today's events.
When the minds of everyone,
Have been intentionally bombarded...
By a variety of ongoing nonsense.
Meant to leave some to wonder,
If the government is involved in this.

'Okay!

Behind and upon the highest mountain

The magic of the stars fell upon our heads when we first held each other. My logic understanding of basic things went out the window because I was dazed and confused at the way she lifted me...

Fish Circles

the town where i was born
summer air still sweet
with the scent of blooming
magnolia trees and promise

my grandmother's hands
used to hold mine
tight as a prayer
as we walked to the creek

where fish swam lazy
circles in the shallows
...

How varied is your dance

The silence threatens to derail his by chance circumstance. A life long dream full of effort to be known as a very caring person always finding joy in putting others first. Does he have a little selfishness...

Mildred

Mildred


  1. Like the flick of a brush to a canvas, her world was tainted by his love. Barely psychotic.


  Led by the armor he wore, she rose like a phoenix. It was fierce and unapologetic.


  His crooked smile and throaty laugh...

Messiah of mercy

Dear Messiah of mercy
Son of creator
I miss that want for you
I get lost in my nightmares
I lose my train of thought
I lose my voice sometimes
I lose my light
I miss that want for you
I miss your right
You teach me to love more
You are...

Idyllic footnote


Now I still want a slow-motion romance in angelic, cherishing hands –, but already on a wedding bed. Radiantly, saturated in captivity, one and a half times, barely paying attention to stomach cramps and total nausea to the loud speakers. To...

Rising In Love

Waves seep over sand,
The Sun crests,
We’re hand in hand.

Daybreak’s unfolding,
To a shared beholding,
Our minds are molding…
I can feel us growing–together.

We converge concurrently,
You mirror me back to me,
I now see, that our...

The river inside

This journey of self on the inside and out.
Is made by having faith where you felt only doubt.

To get yourself aligned with the here and the now.
Stop all your thinking about all the why and the how.

Feeling no fear brings you right to...

The things we call life!

Rain, one day, gone, the next!

 As, we sleep, the moon, glows best!
The wolves, they howl, small, mammals gather, and store!

 People, build building's, business,farms!
Babies, are born, seasons, change!

 Death takes it's place!
Yet, petals,...

The twinkle in a star.

Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder who you are, up above the sky so high, like a diamond in disguise, You light up the sky so bright at night to show me which way is right. I know who you must be; you shine so bright for...
