a broken land,
found in my dreams
distant, yet close to hand,
presence felt, matters not, as
everything stops…yet, the seas continue to
breathe in, and
hold my heart tight,
letting relations drop
when biting starts,
as a safe haven
draws stars upon
our collective scars, stored…as the wind
exhales deeply, and
infuses us, with
the love
we’ve all been waiting for…
I climb
from the sea, a
journey from underneath,
scraping, and crawling
toward my destiny,
I mind
the feelings
from the deep, as
they speak of love,
light, and the twisted return
of all that burns
me
from
beneath…as
spinning becomes relatable,
just like the tree tops
swaying in the winds dismay,
as they play together
in the midst
of all that’s lovingly displayed
for you and me,
on this most gorgeous day…
seeing brokenness
within, without,
and everywhere about, I shout
at the sky…everywhere, I fly…
emotions high,
and the depths, deep, and dry
as spinning begins,
and the trees look at me
with a silent grin, speaking
of something I’ve missed, I stop…
digress…pause, and breathe life in…
slowing down now, I see
the moonlight cascade
off the tree, and, just then,
something else stirs from within
full of tears, and ready
to begin…this pool
of light glistens
off a reservoir,
felt, yet never been called
to sit in…while
the
moment
stretches out
to the east,
and west again…and
head meets heart
for the first time,
they bond together just fine…as
love blossoms,
they align,
and
time melts into the sublime…
broken wings,
soft and evergreen,
mended,
with the everlastingness
of the sun’s rays,
dancing yellow, and green, they seem
to heal
from
upside down,
as the pain is turned
inside out, and cleaned throughout…
cascading light,
wishing upon a star
from afar, yet
closer, than realization dawns
as the candle drops,
and, hints…by
speaking in
a language of love
forever kissed, I must admit
your scent lingers
in the air,
fair, as memories
become closer to me
than the breath of you near, and
in this instance,
brokenness becomes
something
altogether witnessed
as love
shines forth, and
we become more,
than you and I
have ever experienced…

I am so pleased to announce that my poem, something altogether unbelievable, 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.
something altogether unbelievable
the iridescent
lamp
casts a shadow
over the carnage
seen, within the myriad
of moments
taken away from me…
I would be honored if you would go here and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!
