fiery lake
love lives in each heartbeat
and breath
we take, regardless of past
mistakes
and the pain we rake
like mist
that takes me on a trip…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

I am so pleased to announce that my poem, empty nest, is now available at MasticadoresIndia. Thank you to Terveen Gill, and the team at MasticadoresIndia for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.
empty nest
the pain comes to me in the afternoon
as I sit in front of the tree
meant for you and me
I cannot hide from the tears inside
they well up
and finally, come forth…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

I take trips back and forth up the mountain
while relegating
the misery I feel, like a pin drop
of blood
after the storm stops
I watch
the sunrise
over my heart of flowers
atop
our bed of petals and pearls
made from
loves most tranquil and delicate fibers
surreal
stitched
in the early morning, and
weaved with the fabric of our present glory
these two hearts, believe
in all they see
especially when pain arises
with the most pressing need

poplar seed
the apple orchard
lives along the shadows
of a love that lingers
sometimes in the gallows
of a destiny told to me
once upon a story made…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

I stir the pain and promise
of another day
living amongst the calmest tides, and
between thin wispy clouds
I await
the love within this shroud
knowing the pain delivered is filled with gold
hues
and ambiguity among truths
birthed
within the mountains cold
and dark, living inside me a mark
filled with the void of time
sung from my fingertips, to the
mountain tops
I slip
into a reverie and cannot exist
a moment longer
than is needed
I withdraw
and await the heeded, love
I hope
to carry me into the gates of my beloved
where love’s already been seeded

You.
It’s always been, given to me once
at the precipice of a love
filled with tales
grim
and others’ riding the backs of whales
I listen for you in the nightshade
of a heart asundered
by the mere mention of your name in pale
and indigo fibers
filled with stitched together riders
their hearts, gold through and through
just like the love I feel for you
A moment.
I pause to breathe
and exhale the scent of jasmine
realizing you’ve come to me in time
with the music I hear, for two, everytime to my heart
nearer, are
You.

guidance comes on the shoulders
of mountain tops
a reliance
on the love living inside my fingertips
short, and stout
they speak to me of dreams, unseen
a reality
forged from iron leaves
while the fragrance of love always makes me believe
in you, my love
Can you see me through the pain inside the loving breeze?
I can see you too.
it’s here, my love
where I will always wait for you

the sweetest nectar
with the wind at my back
I relax
and
sit inside all the glory before me
the blooming flowers
and the resplendent arches on the trees
as they hang with the most delicious…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

alight and aflame
displays are on the screen
and behind them are clouds seen
as mysteries continue to pour into me
of a love lingering in the rain
specks of dust are always the same
tiny fragments of being, they came
to me at last
while I let my heart open to the possibilities
of you, my love
dancing into the night, alight and aflame

purple colors fill the sky
a mixture of violet and lavender
like tears that have dried
they crumble through my pores
leaking a love that’s lived through more
than this man can define
the last time I faced these truths
I cried and cried
yet
knowing this truth today
my fear subsides
and sits in my heart
where love always resides
