The star smiled up upon me as if they knew I’d join them

Much past midnight, I sat Lotus style on the outcropping, a smooth spot I had found

I breathe in the crisp night air and exhale slowly the profound peace in developing my curious soul

They fell swiftly and in abundance, my ancestors the stars

Flowing so brilliantly against the deep black abyss

I lean back to recline and open fully to this...

When the storm comes by compass always points to love

And is a sky darkens and the rain inevitably arrives

I have shelter deep within me

And inner well of warmth and sunshine

I carry optimism

I carry acceptance

I carry hope

And I heal from within me

Again and again

I walk in beauty

I walk in peace

I radiate love and kindness

I alchemize pain and loss

An exit lightly

And smiling

Another...

I hadn’t seen it

did I ever really look?

to see the love in pain

to see destiny in a paintbrush

to see copper in the sky

to see fortune in lessons hard learned

to see beauty rise from decay

see glimmers within my tears

and a strange sense of knowing

the softness in a rock

fast water as an ally

and fire as an opportunity

the spark inside you

kindles desire inside me

for healing

I will sit wi...

i could see it all around me

the light now shifting into the nuances of fall

just one day now before the solstice,

i lie in the meadow and weep

Icry for the loss of the spark of summer

warm temperatures and abundant sunshine

the sound of music filling the air

a sense of abandon in my body ,in my soul

a brief romance only summer could bring

i do not relish going inward

snow and ice and ...

she was changed just now..

she shut the door on his ego

she had been full of mischief

now she’s hit with his loss

no more sweet smiles

secret winks

slow deep hugs

again she vanished

as if she had aged in the last week so much

it’s almost unbearable to witness her grief

but I tell her it’s ok

she will heal

she will dance

she will somehow feel flirty again

now all she can do is withdraw

and miss...

beauty in someone

meets beauty in me

and we stop to stare

enamored then drawn

a heat underneath

and burning into my porch

no method to extinguish this fire

raging embers fly

and I drop to weep

this visit…

as every other visit I lay spent

like a smooth menthol after sex

I vanish...

A Saturday morning when I was alone

I scrolled through my social media and noticed a post from a group I don’t belong to

It said “There is a new vintage shop in town the likes of which you have never seen……”

No other details just an image of a spectacular ornate gold footing supporting a beautiful gazing ball. Intrigued I saw only one clue: the address is on your phone now.

What in the hell I excl...

I wept

I died some

heart ripped and shredded

eyes hollow and wet.

More than I could bare

I wept

I died some

I disappeared my soul

I was no more and vanished

Goodbye Bitch was all he uttered...

Once she flew

And then she fell

As if the air itself would no longer support her

Once high above the ridge line she saw only beauty

She then sat amongst the clouds calling her magic

And she stayed in the gentle fog of romance

Reclining into a trance of sorts

Basking in the eyes of another she took him into her heart

She was exhilarated tingling and full of her own unique femininity.

She was int...

As I step onto the deck slowly I feel the breeze lifting my Turkish robe and leaving my body exposed

It is cold for July

adjusting to the darkness now

under an unseen new moon I dream

In the clear of the forest

up in the clear mountain sky so dark

meteors zip by and magic comes from the sight

Entranced I prepare a lounge for full recline so I can take in the beauty of this night.

Warmer blanket...
