pain arises when I’m folded
and tired
of resting my head on the wind
I often wonder about nature
and the canopies of gold so thin
and lush
they come to me
when I’m anxiety ridden
and flush from within
a heart, I have
in the moon
with as many cracks and crevices too
Can you see them reflected back at you?
I can too.
they are blue, with marigold hues
a rainbow of colors
and images
reminding me of our youth

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

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

helios of pain
birds fly through the sky
as in my heart, our love always resides
flittering
and mistaking a beat or two
for a remedy made of oranges that are blue…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

I see love in you, and the sky blue
wishing upon a falling star
true
I wonder
about nature
and the love living inside my mind
though, this time
I relegate love to another line
of hope, as it lingers in the air
like mist carrying the sun
within its moist, and ever so toiled
breath, I dare
to challenge the moon, breaking apart
my heart
none
can prepare me for the agony
of life’s darkness
to me, each morning renewed
with starkness, so
I run, and run, and run, and, then
Stop.
and, wait at the end of the sun
where arises something new
as I reach out my hand toward you

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

I am excited to announce that my poem, Hidden Inside, is now available at Spillwords Press. A big thank you to Dagmara K., and the whole team at Spillwords for publishing this piece, and for their continued support.
Hidden Inside
I crumble like stone
into a void with no home
falling
I try to understand the pain
and trauma coming up
within a body and mind, a disease
no one can find
hidden
inside the elements of being
swimming upcurrent…
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, lavender lines, is now available at MasticadoresUSA. Thank you to Gabriela Marie Milton, and the team at MasticadoresUSA for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.
lavender lines
tumbleweeds thread the head of a pin
while the size of our love’s always been
reminiscent of the dreams laden in your hands
like the flavor of morning dew
know that I’ve always seen you…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

sitting in the open sea
watching the tide rescue the myriad
relations of me
my heart transcends the fibrous moon
as crawling beneath the flowers
I bloom
looking toward another aspect of truth
the fragrance of turmoil and pain still strewn
while glistening in the rain
are you
