I'm a spiritually attuned empath and metamorphic healer, deeply committed to guiding others toward higher awareness and personal transformation. Passionate about poetry, I try to infuse my work with vivid imagery, drawing inspiration from historical narratives and my spiritual journey. With a keen interest in metaphysics, tarot, and ancient wisdom, I like to encourages introspection and personal evolution, challenging societal norms and helping others awaken to their true purpose. My writing and spiritual practices reflect a profound respect for interconnectedness and universal harmony, as I walk my unique path of light and understanding.

The Wait, Ode to Christine

I sit and watch through that pane,
rustled leaves blowing up the hill.
I watch the day pass slowly by;
wondering if she'll pass this way still .
Forever longing for one so fair;
my thoughts, mine no longer be,
forever waiting for the one --

Poison of love

I could not help when it passed my lips,
tasteful and bittersweet.
This poison I've chosen willingly,
I had to have more than a sip.

We often take it unwilling,
Least not when we're aware;
it can lead to certain death,
anxiety, pain, and...

What am I?

The journey is often walked in solitude,
a path for a chosen few,
seeking more than an existential
rudimentary knowledge of self.

Beyond the mere grasp, of historical,
biblical, or metaphysical realms—

A vast inner knowing awaits,
for...

Hilltop by the sea

The sun dips low beyond the gentle hill,
Its golden rays spread across the sea.
The world is calm, evening soft and still.
I walk alone, where paths lead me,
whispering to the night’s song,
The birds begin their silent symphony.

In constant...

Open Eyes Never See

Reality often escapes the moment.
Open eyes never see,
So clearly and plainly,
Exactly what is meant to be.
As the day, it passes;
Now time escapes me too,
Never to be regained,
Passed and no longer new.
Open eyes never see.
Lost to times'...

I thought I was fully prepared for what I was about to encounter, especially after reading one of your other poems. Alas I was greatly mistaken! I stood ready to dive into another whimsical piece BUT..... I could not make it past the first stanza with a gut-wrenching laugh. THANK YOU I much enjoyed and need this. Which breed did you finally settle on?

Grounded expectations is all we can hope for. Even with some of my works, often I will ask myself, why? We can only hope that one particular pieces resonates with someone. Bite your tongue on the 4th stanza cause we can agree to disagree.

Truly whimsical and clever. I had to try and stop myself from laughing while remembering I can switch up in my own works if I'm not careful.

Its sad when people take for granted someone that goes above and beyond them. They realize too late that they had a good thing going. I guess some of us shall walk alone.
