The darkness of the night.

The darkness of the night.

My love of the night let us be true to one another, for the world that lies before us, a land of dreams so various, so beautiful, so new, does not have neither joy nor love, nor light or certitude or peace or help for...

My Life Today

Here I sit thinking bout him
Thinking how much joy
I'll see when I see him
The day he'll never leave

The day I say I do.

The day that will leave a stain of happiness between the two of...

The Passenger

Born in December on a cold winter’s day
I was baptised a Christian without any say
My life given direction before I could walk
A school then chosen before I could talk

I went through communion and was soon confirmed
In my inner cocoon I...

Crossed out

Erased, based, destroyed

Soul destruction

Made out to be an object smaller than I am

My soul sings loud

Above the skies

I want to grow into that woman she is

I wanna scream at the top of my lungs that none of this matters

Sound Bites: May, 2024

Out from under
the burden of proof
Changing the argument
— freeing the truth

…..

Saying it shorter
staying intact
Words more empowered
— tightening the slack

…..

Writing … the cake
Reading … the icing
Licking the spoon

 — crumbs...

Supernatural

Supernatural

Supernatural is you to me flesh and soul
As the Sun and rain nourish flowers
And roots with soil that touch the sky.

So delicate, beautiful and oh so strong
A forest of green greeting blue heaven
Breathing new life awakening...

I Know It When I Feel It

I Know It When I Feel It

I know it when I feel it
It stares me in the face
In the morning it comes over me
When you’re right here in this place
Rising up so tall
You lift me from a fall
Pieces once broken
Reveal love unspoken.

You raise...

Struck By Lightning

Struck By Lightning

Love at first sight, struck by lightning
I say your name out loud
As if speaking you into existence is
Magic just like you
Twinkling sparkles and dust
Meant to generate your body
Your face, your voice
And your soul...

Night Moves With You

Night Moves With You

Night moves with you
As does the stars across the universe
Every soft sensual piece of you
Orbits my celestial sky
Around and around
And all the way round
Consuming the circles of my mind
Spinning me in an elliptical...

Do I Dare Love You?

Do I Dare Love You?

Do I dare love you?
Yes I say dare because
It is not fear that separates us
Nor is it distance
The unknown existence of
You and I together
Joined in an embrace of
Eyes, lips, bodies and souls
Apart before time

The Dream Is You And I

The Dream Is You And I

The dream is you and I
Awaken everywhere all at once
Breathing life as happiness
Love, lips and verse
In motion as one
In every season
Side by side
Hand in hand
Making ordinary bread
Into sweet rolls.

The dream...

Lady In Blue

Lady In Blue

You stand as a lady in blue
An azure suit and snow white
Tall as a lotus blossom in water
As pure as clear sky
And I behold your sight as
The happy pilgrim in a church
You dazzle me in a moment
As I marvel your fine form

Let Us Play Together

Let Us Play Together

Let us play together
Holding each other as
Musical instruments
Coming to life
Making music
With our eyes
With our lips
With two hands
Stroking faces
Hair and hands
Weaving melodies
Harmonizing kisses
Our tongues
...
