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!

open sea

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

the moon’s cusp

grass seed reminds me of
the inevitability

of time

skipping through fields, dusty
and wheat filled

as I grow through the earthโ€™s crust, learning
Iโ€™m just enough

of the magic living inside the moonโ€™s cusp

relating to me, another aspect
of the you

I see

it comes to me
while I lean into the garden of being

and transcend the pain Iโ€™ve been feeling

the sweetest nectar

with the wind at my back
I relax

sit inside all the glory before me

the blooming flowers

as they hang with the most deliciousโ€ฆ

Moon’s Dust, Published at MasticadoresIndia

I am so pleased to announce that my poem, Moonโ€™s Dust, is now available at MasticadoresIndia. Thank you to Terveen Gill, and the team at MasticadoresIndia for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.

Moonโ€™s Dust

drips drop from the top of a
stopwatch

as the minutes until we meet cascade
over my heart

watching the fear depart

say youโ€™ll love me until the last act of the artโ€ฆ

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

butterfly sensations

stones fall from my eyes
holding my breath, I try

to understand the fields of sorrow
before me

while the image of you lingers in the streams
of tumbleweed

weโ€™ve deemed, a point in the past that seems
like a memory, in between

the one, two, and three tests that come on fast

while I continue to hold my last breath

fear begins to arise
a swelling and butterfly sensation in times of trepidation cries

as I finally exhale a sigh
and the love within me begins to fly


In response to the WDYS #130 prompt, from Keep it Alive by Sadje

rose sky

roses fill the sky
with the fragrance of the tide

as petals sing to the moon
under the canopy of our afternoon

know

thereโ€™s always been a piece of me in you

a mirror or two
reflects back our love

while we climb the ladder of chaos

still embossed
with an evening of frost

as we set off
on a journey to reclaim our love lost

marigolds rising

life breathes through my pores
like the rain in an afternoon of prose

written just before bedtime
while the love within me shines

through my heart and onto the page

with a vibrancy that is beyond
the stage

set from the past, while relations come to pass

I learn
to lean into the marigolds rising

like the masses

while learning more about my past transgressions
and the love that lives inside the ashes

purple tears

purple colors fill the sky
a mixture of violet and lavender

like tears that have dried

they crumble through my pores
leaking a love thatโ€™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

cloudless drifter

oranges and limes fill the sky
a scent reminiscent of another time

when love was like a drop of candy in the winter
and the fields were dusty

a cloudless drifterโ€ฆ

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