Writings

Heat

The tree supports me, the sky above, all in the lazy haze of summer heat. To and fro the dandelions dance within the fields. Ever more I feel the drowsiness of sleep as it nips the comers of my mind while on my moss covered seat. My ears do hear a curious sound of swords, mail, and clattering shields. For on this ground there stood five armies, shouting and jeering for their claim. A king restored...

Sleep Out

The flowers scent

The slight breeze in the sky

The fluffy white clouds

A dream

Only one can describe

So beautiful

I want to sleep

And forget my worries

And enjoy the peacefulness

If the shade of the tree

And disappear into a land of dreams...

Nature’s Lullaby

The weepy willow wisps in the subtle breeze, brushing through the air. The grass beneath me is soft amd lush, like a blanket of comfort.

I smell the slight scent of roses and lavender, bringing even more tranquility to my senses.

Birds sing in the air and bees buzz with butterflies.

I close my eyes to nature’s lullaby and hope I’ll wake in this dream once more....

Same Somewhere Sleeping

**7:00pm**


You just dryed your duvet

Covet your cacophony of covers


Feel the compressed

Weighted blanket on your chest

****

**It’s the best, it’s the best **


Deathbed lovers

Excited for what’s next


Airplane naps

Your head laid on a someone


You love some


Wake up, hair’s a mess


**It’s the best, it’s the best**


A bird singing

With all the air in its breast


Back exposed, sunset surg...

in the weeds

I think the weed made me paranoid

well, it heightened my feelings, that’s for sure,

and I was not feeling that guy,

and I did not want him feeling me.

it’s cool. here’s some grass, and a tree

a shady tree. this will relax me.

I can feel the grass, beneath my ass

ha! that’s a good one!

but have you heard that melody in the leaves?

I’ve heard the trees talk through their roots

so they must sing thr...

Sunny Daze.

The tree covers over the seat that I sit on, there is a breeze that cools the skin from the sun.


The sun creeps over the seat from above slowly exposing your skin to the light.


Nature surrounds you, the birds fly up above.


The bees buzz on the tropical flowers beside you.


The ducks wander around the lake ahead, swimming and ducking their bodies into the the water edge.


The dragonflies hov...

It’s Sunny (I'm Thankful)

I love the sun

I love it’s warm embrace

I love the way it takes

The tension from my bones

And just burns it


I love the sun

I love its glaring rays

I love the way

It soothes my eyes closed

Even under the shade


I hate the sun

I hate the way it burns

And I hate the way

It makes me yearn for it


I hate the sun

I hate the way it

Suffocates me

Warms me

Grazes me

Makes me feel

Loved

I hate the way

All Seeing Is The Heart  (A Ronddel)

When sunlight drizzles from the sky,

It takes me back to thoughts of you.

I wonder where you are, and why,

You could not stay as others do.


I could not see through blinded eyes,

I could not see as others do.

But now you lay where beauty lies,

My heart sees every inch of you.


Regretful are these sad and eyes,

We did not love as lovers do,

But oh, the sky feels ever blue.

For you are there...

Sleep

Warmth spreads over me

Like a flower blooming

I face the sun and

breathe

The world spins under me

Laying under a tree swaying

for once I feel at

Peace

Weight presses down on me

Of missed time running

I let myself fall to

Sleep...

From The Hilltop

Leaves bending, mind mending

Drifting on the wind

Life changing, rearranging,

The future doesn’t wait

Worry-bearing, loving, caring

As the shade settles in

Sun shining, beetles whining

When you realize home is here...
