running through the flowers, Published at MasticadoresIndia

I am so pleased to announce that my poem, running through the flowers, is now available at MasticadoresIndia. Another big thank you to Terveen Gill, and the team at MasticadoresIndia for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.

running through the flowers

the road unfolds along a dirt abode, where travelers
come together seeking
shelter

from
the
storm

rising with the sun, learning more in the afternoon
glow, hints of colors so…

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

torrential rain

waves break over my heart, as
a realization
dawns

about the clouds

I’ve traveled near
and far

it’s as if the sky
has always
called
me

from the very
start

drawing me closer, I listen,
and learn about the
moisture

within my
veins

it was
always cloistered

yet clearing the pain kept at bay,
opens me up, like
the sky

after a torrential rain…

under an open sun…, Published at MasticadoresUSA

I am so pleased to announce that my poem, under an open sun…, 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 sun…

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

into
a special
place in my heart…

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

the fragrance delivered…

I’ve seen you, the mirror bestood
the shelled husk, and
the ground spoke
in tones
musk

scent delivered, atmosphere tense,
boiling over imminent

as presence fills my being with a firmament,
languid colors
arise

it is
the nature
of everyone
to despise, yet

love is always there, hiding in the alcoves
of hearts and
minds

remove
the fragrance delivered,
and let love
reign
far,
and wide…

shattering like glass…

walking into misery, watching it unfold, it envelops me
like a cloak, I

drown from within, you were just here, how could
it have been…understanding loses meaning,
as heart breaks into a thousand
pieces

shattering like glass, spreading out through the air,
diamond bits rest in my chest, throat stuck,
tongue thick, with
a mind
blinking
into
a
mist…

traveling back in time, unavailable, so will settle
on memories lying dormant
in mind, and
heart

though
they
do
tell the story of your love, divined

deep as the ocean is wide, you did your best, while
dealing with your pain
like a mime

and, while goodbyes are unnecessary, I would like to tell
you how much I love you,
one last
time…

I call to the wind

in times of great distress, I call to the wind,
a friend, and constant companion when times are
grim

less known than before, part of the paradoxical
nature of love and loss,
shown

as part of a life lived

in its myriad fabrics and textures, feeling them with zeal,
I reel, and find a home in all
that’s real…

no hiding, now exposed, raw, vulnerable, and ready
to let go

of the pain, and sorrow, and simply sit in the magnificence
of love in all its shapes, and sizes,
bestowed…

I am at the Oregon coast this weekend, and it is beautiful. The above pic and poem were inspired by my time here, which I always treasure. Growing up by the ocean was a gift, and now living relatively close to the ocean once again fills my heart. Wishing you all a beautifully blessed Sunday, and coming week.

I love you…

heart broken into a million pieces,
agony inside, the time in-between
now and then, set aside

for a moment, like an eternity, dreaming
of other scenes, can’t possibly be reality, pulling
me down into this demise…

watching your hand leave mine, fingers outstretched
into another time, breaking solidity,
besides

the filament continues to flicker, wavering
in the night sky, pulling me towards belief, I
sigh…

remembering your face, holding you in arms, wide,
trying to make another sky

and portal to an alternative world, where the two
remain together, not ever bidding each other
adieu…

instead, remain together they do,
by simply saying

I love you…

a love gleaned…

tiredness is present, like a gift from the heavens,
head in the clouds, I dream of the absence
found

in-between the margins of peace, tranquility, and
the pain bound

together

like dreams come to me, instead of sleep,
filling the space with images profound…

listening to my heart first, becomes
the knowledge bestowed, controlled, not,

instead,
the loud drum,
and thrum,
vibrations
come

towards the vistas trees, in need of sanity, destabilizing
the wishes seen, and, providing us all with a
love gleaned…

love blossoms over the sun…

I’m covered in a blanket of darkness
as the wind caresses my skin,
and opens me up again

wide, as the sky is deep, I pause
and breathe all of life in…

closing my eyes, I try to remember

why
and where we last met, as love arises
within

towards
the thinness, atmospheric tension, begins…

a tranquility, and calmness beneath the sea, stirs,
and a tremble in the earth shakes
the reverie combined,
mirth

set aside for the dawn,
as love blossoms over the sun…

Portions of this poem may have been inspired by love warmly from aroused, by calmkate. If you’ve not read Kate’s poem, check it out when you have a moment, it is lovely.

underneath my skin…

as fingers caress the tree,
there is glory seen, as the feelings beneath,
keep coming for me

one, after another, they try, me,
to
set free…
and I resist, more common
persist

running against the grain, terror scratched skin,
gritting teeth, pain from within

arises again, and
again…as

the
wind breathes…and, I

relax back into the flowerbed, smelling the roses
red

I take ease, notice the bees, relate my love for them,
not
too late

to grow roots straight into the earth, becoming
one with the soil, and the beauty enveloping me,
I roil, as

pain subsides, and I continue to surmise
my love of this beautiful planet, felt beneath,
within, and underneath my skin…
