Daughter

   It seems understated to say that my daughter is lost. Oh my precious, lovely girl, how did you get this far into your own self destruction? I know there's a boy who charmed you and captured your gentle heart. This same boy helped you lose yourself for he is also lost. Toxic, turmoil, co-dependant shit. Oh how you fell, hard! He led you down a dark path, you followed just because you loved him. You didn't think about yourself, just that following him into darkness might make him happy. Your spirit is lost, your mind snapped and your heart is broken. I'm so sorry my love, my sweet child, my beautiful daughter.
   Stay strong my darling and know that you will get through this. I am always here for you... I love you.

Little Ditties 2

1.
The orbital motion
Of the ocean touches the sky
As we learn to fly
Through the vastness of time.

2.
Courageous and true are her words
Like so many shooting stars
As her heart reveals its secrets
That project to the inner space
The beginning of everything

3.
Where's my writer?
Where did she go?
The long lost girl, troubled
From so long ago
She told many tales
Even a poem or two
She wanted it all
But for nothing if not with you

Work

  I have so much work to do
I know in my heart what needs to be done
  Despite its fragile state
I must find my own way to balance
  To live happily and healthy
I must trust myself to trust others
  There is nothing I can teach
That I have not learned
  I must let go
In order to receive

Creep

You crept in because I let you
My guts ache, my heart bleeds and my mind cries
For the damage of you, against yourself
Feeling you, and feeling for you haunts my soul

You crept in because I let you
To pull you out of yourself, out of my core
Challenges every molecule of my being
And all that makes me, me

But you only crept in because I let you...

Knowing/Secrets

Knowing

What is it about you that I must know?

All of the things you will not show
The innards of you, the depths of your soul
Would it help me to discover your soul?
Do you even know?
Just a peek inside, through all the things you do not show

What is it about you that I must know?


Secrets

All those secrets that you keep
Hidden away so deep
Are you afraid of my discovery?

Perhaps how you really feel about me
Something darker maybe
That no one will ever see

For only you hold the key
To let out those secrets you keep
Hidden away, far beneath

Little Ditties 1

Little Ditties

1. I thought I gave myself everything...
What I really needed to do
was give up the thought

2. I have a story to write,
I know it well
Though its no epic saga,
Forever remembered by men
It is important for me to tell.

3. Plastic ware
Thinning hair
Wrinkles beneath
Baggy underwear

4. As your desire is,
so is your will
As your will is,
so is your deed
As your deed is,
so is your destiny

5. Life is not about all of the wrongs
And all of the rights
Life is about believing it's yours to create
Even if it means putting up some fights

6. Can't escape, can't get away
inevitable change always takes place
Accept it, flow with it
Grow with grace

7. Procrastination is a representative of fear

8. Empathy is understanding
    Sympathy is knowing

9. Don't you see,
    we deserve each other...

10. What excuses have you labeled as distractions are you letting spoil your dream's purpose?

Wind Chime

Metal in one hand, glass in the other
A hard clap would be unwise
To shatter the hands asunder

Sheets of tin, brisk wind
Sounds of cracking thunder
Window pane, delicate rain
Drips gently a descent of wonder

Metal in one hand, glass in the other
Cradling patient hands, practiced with time
Creative whim of mind,
Not so much as a mutter

Hands clasp gently to form
Light tones, breeze blown
This metal and glass wind chime
A musical flutter 

Taming The Minotaur (Dream)

      I lay in the damp grass under a bright blue sky, white fluffy clouds hang there. I am warmed by the sun.
I close my eyes and fantasize about far away places that I've never been.
A sensation runs through me as I feel the pull of rising through the air.
I open my eyes and look out to see, that I am in fact floating, up towards the heavens.
Through the clouds, through the stars and beyond. I feel the chill yet not it's suffocation.
      Spellbinding beauty within the space above the Earth as I look down to catch its glow.
Where am I off to now? How curious I find the blackness, and the cold surrounding the ever twinkling stars of thousands of years ago. They must be warm, yet they do not warm the space around and between them. Excitement fills me to my bones as I fly, fly, fly though space.
      In the distance, through the black of dark behind he stars, I squint to see this place I am going, or rather being taken. It resembles something like a chunk of some star or planet that exploded only to leave behind a small triangular shape of rock and dirt to remember it by. I land at the edge of its surface, it's much larger than it had appeared, yet there's not enough room for me to explore it. There is only one way to go, down through a narrow passage.
        Scatters of bones and splatters of blood line the walls of this passage as darkness grows around me until I cannot see my out-stretched hand. I smell the death. I hear a faint sigh as the passage opens to a cavern, colder and colder as I walk toward it. I feel a wave of terror creep over my skin, as I listen to and catch the menacing scent of the heavy, hot breath of some unknown creature moving slowly in my direction. I cannot move, I freeze. It makes no difference whether or not I close my eyes for it is too dark to see.
      My eyes struggle, but I notice a flickering little light. I guess that this creature must be carrying a flame? Emerging from the dark, one hoof then two. What is this thing? Why have I been brought here? Slowly my eyes begin to focus and I cannot help but to look up. I am in awe, shock, fear and bewilderment as the being stood before me. Half man, half beast. He carries on his broad furry shoulders, the head of a bull with long, curved, pointed horns. His huge chest and large muscular arms are that of a man. His belly and waist are also that resembling a human man. His upper thighs, thick and strong, taper into the calves of a beast with hooves. All covered in a mass of black fur.
      I tremble and fall to my knees, he is enormous. More then ten feet, this beast hovers over me, breathing, panting, snorting, I faint. I wake to the nuzzle of warm, wet nostrils huffing harder on my face. He utters the words through his massive teeth, "I want to eat you, I want to devour you." Oh my Gods and Goddesses, please don't let him eat me! How can I convince this hungry beast that I should not be eaten? I imagine how lonely he must be, that his only visitors are not guests, but meals to be consumed.
      I offer myself, my body, to him in a another way. "Why not take my flesh to curb your emptiness as a delightful exchange instead of tearing me to bits with your teeth?" I suggest. Intrigued at the proposition, he leans in to discover what I have in mind. I reach out and stroke his dripping snout, run my tiny fingers along the sides of his face up to his head, gliding my hands across his large horns that I cannot reach the end of. I feel the fur across his muscular abdomen, slowly as to not startle him. I caress him gently. I rub his groin and feel a hardening beneath his fur. He breaths heavier, faster as he grabs me up roughly. His head and face are bigger than my entire body, then I reconsider, "What have I gotten myself into?" I suppose it is better than a gruesome death of being chewed on.
       His manhood grows ever larger, protruding out from the furry patch no longer hiding it. It is too massive for any natural being to take, but I realize I am dealing with other worldly forces, magic, where anything is possible. I make an attempt to calm him with soft whispers in his ear of, "Be gentle, be careful, you don't want to tear me apart in this way either." I kiss his cheek reassuring him as I stroke him below. He understands, he reduces his size with just the power of his mind. I am relieved, and I take him into me. His eyes flash with a pleasure I'm certain he has never known, I am stunned that I am finding pleasure with him as well.
      He finishes, and falls asleep. I make my way back through the dark cavern into the opening of the narrow passage, and onto the edge, I hear a faint, "Thank you." I close my eyes and wait for the push to float me home.
   
   
     
   

Purpose

Furthering toward many more
My purpose I see, a vision in hold
My mind must ultimately let go
Giving free reign to my spirit

Returning to me, steadfast
A fruition of my dreams
At long last quenched of the thirst
For I am human by nature

Gifted with the insight of abilities
That turn my dreams into realities
Where everything I thought
Becomes everything I know

Creation of Pisces

Nee morn peak each day anew
The golden sun has risen
As cirrus clouds streak the sky

Creating the shadows of leaves
That will fall from their trees
These forms fade within the light

Within the waves of the ocean
Every ebb and flow, 
Finds its way over the slick idle stone

As the Earth turns ever so slow
The air and the gravity hold the stars
Above, the celestial body of Pisces,
 the noble dream guide

Politics

The placid lake of contradiction
leaching life from the piranhas of hypocrisy.

My Poetry Is

 Simply diverse
Constantly changing
 Verse to verse
Free formed
 Endless rhyming
Acceptedly controverse
 Aging the new
Doubtfully believed
 Yet ultimately true
Fantastic reality
 Words motionless
Ever moving still
 Thoughtfully mindless
Lost in inspiration
 Is poetic
And everything I know

Let Go

Of the things that we remember
  Can we see when its time to let go?
Through the suffering that is deep
  When relief is within reach
A mask that hides the truth behind
  Does not fool anyone
This familiar thing is worn
  Put on for show
To shed the things of suffering
  And the mask that hides them
It is to see the truth of what we are
  To become more than the surface,
Because what lies beneath
  Is the light, a beacon
With the strength to overcome
  To remember and to let go

I Am

I am as majestic as a mountain
I am as small as a pebble
And I carry the energy of the Universe.

I am as stately as a tree
I am as low as the grass
And I carry the energy of the Universe.

I am as vast as the ocean
I am as narrow as a stream
And I carry the energy of the Universe.

I am as alive as the Earth
I am as dead as a fallen leaf
And I carry the energy of the Universe.

Under the Sky

Under the ever changing sky
from bright days to pitch nights
sunrise to sunset
consistent, familiar but never the same

The sturdy, steady tree grows
toward the sky, swaying
in the breeze feeling the wind
within her leaves

Colorful sky, colored leaves
as seasons change
everything cloudy or starlit
dark, and by moonlight

Death to rebirth are barren branches
giving up their leaves, they always do
life is regrown and reborn
with the warmth of the sun and a drink of rain
 Under the ever changing sky

Steam

I am the refreshing chill of the ocean wave
You are the soothing warmth from the flame.
Sometimes, I am too cold for you and you shiver at my touch
Other times, you are too hot for me where I wince within your embrace
When we get past the shivering cold and wincing heat
We create an intense, beautiful balance of our passion
We make steam.
