lavender lines

tumbleweeds thread the head of a pin

while the size of our loveโ€™s always been
reminiscent of the dreams laden in your hands

like the flavor of morning dew
know that Iโ€™ve always seen youโ€ฆ

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, Night Tide, is now available at MasticadoresIndia. Thank you to Terveen Gill, and the team at MasticadoresIndia for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.

Night Tide

I alight on a star
itโ€™s farther than Iโ€™ve ever been before

a thousand miles away from you
I transfix my eyes

on all the galaxies next door
while knowingโ€ฆ

I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

the magic in you

the tree climbs through my veins
a richness profane

like a sacred text masquerade

speaking to me of burnt amber
and a subtle and textured decanter

filled with life brimming within its core

Have you ever felt this kind of love before?

itโ€™s just around the corner from here
in a field made from love gifted true

and as I kept watch, you grew

while the feelings ran through
like the magic already living inside of you

silver trim

dreams leak from my eyes, the
sun shall find

a way into my heart, cresting over
the canopy, love bourgeons
through the
limbs

lining the contour
with silver trim,
cascading over
the land

giving dreams a second chance,
they arrive in my
hands

and
outstretched
across the void of time, we,
for each other,
stand

letting light guide the way, a
flutter or two, takes
center
stage

as we let love paradeโ€ฆ

under an open sun…, Published at MasticadoresUSA

I am so pleased to announce that my poem, under an open sunโ€ฆ, is now available at MasticadoresUSA. A big thank you to, Gabriela Marie Milton, and the team at MasticadoresUSA for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.

under an open sunโ€ฆ

I rise from the depths of the sea, surmising all
Iโ€™ve seen, in-between the pain handed down,
and the joy,
drowned

into
a special
place in my heartโ€ฆ

I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

amber clouds

amber clouds, with darkness traced, a
a silver lining placed, in your
heart and mine,
forever

and
beyond
time, they
move in the sky

uninhibited by
mind, collecting dreams
from children
playing on
the

shoreline

sand settled in heart, a complex emotion,
takes us
apart
one

piece at a time, as tears fall from images
held dear, and we
move on

past
fear, into
another land
completely

held with awe and esteem, are the skyโ€™s dreams,
these patterns traced
in the sand
and

collected by hand, so
sweetlyโ€ฆ

a moonbeamโ€ฆ

desires encapsulate me like the moon,
as inside my being I swoon,
looking to the sky,
watching the

moon
go
by

as clouds filter through
the darkness,
the shadow of which
becomes the
hardest

to recognize

it is the mirrored
reflection I see, when
dancing with the trees

and
becoming
more than
one dreamed

until the last particle of
my being is seenโ€ฆ

and, love is blossomed in-between
the rivers full of life,
and me

a moonbeamโ€ฆ

wish upon the birdsโ€ฆ

moon encrusted evening, walking among the fields
of daisies, birds circling in air, like thoughts
running through

veins,
fare and,
attention
made
bare

I dream of other lands, while grounded in the past,
and wish upon the birds, their beauty, at
times

misunderstoodโ€ฆ

slowly, I crane toward the sky, their look is a
glimpse of magnificence, we all
should

take into
account, and
be proud of the beauty
throughout

the moments given, each one is sacred, bestowed
upon us with a love that is
thrilling
and

delightful, just like the pink hues look, as they
swallow my past, and take me towards
the present moment

at
last
it is
a stark
contrastโ€ฆ

our hearts packaged in love…

gifts under the tree, it seems like some kind of land in-
between, known and not, itโ€™s as if
youโ€™ve come from afar,
and
dropped

the love you feel in aspects hearted, they are dreams
displayed with love, and a misty-eyed cavalcade
imparted

ribbons
held together,
just right,
the fit
tight,
with
much light,
swirling in a vacuum
of delightโ€ฆand

a tender-loving kindness, with a whole lot of rich-textured
sentimental(ness)
bestowed
before
we
go, and
take flight

leaving behind our hearts packaged in love, bright, on this
most glorious
nightโ€ฆ

conjure up love, wildlyโ€ฆ

fingers trace the landscape, of a love once
beloved, just as the tree limbs speak
to me, of the dream
living inside
the breeze,
so
does

the gloom, remind me of lessons learned, from
the myriad pushes, and pulls,
orbiting around
the
sunsโ€™
moonโ€ฆ

itโ€™s as if the flowers were speaking to ancient
lands, bestowing their kindness
within, of the time,
sands

as
they continue to focus on our hearts, showing us
how to conjure up love, wildly,
while allowing our
souls
to
ignite nightlyโ€ฆ
