the moonlit curve

fireflies sparkle like dust
reminding me of dancing chimes
lingering in the sun

they arise like a wildflower in
bloom

can you imagine the fear consumed?

walking into the waves
as they come in
we bask in a love that has never been

while the taste of your scent fills the room
and I hear you call

from the moon

whispering to me softly
I gather my nerves

and walk straight into the moonlit curve

petals made of love

I sit atop the river delta, wondering about
the scene

it is a
myriad
in-between

the light
casting off
in the distance
playing with the…

Blue Shoes, Published at MasticadoresIndia

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

Blue Shoes

shadows trace my fingers, a space of
wonder filled with
lace

as other contexts make haste

sending to my heart delicate fabrics,
my mind’s eye reminds me…

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

daffodil dreams

from the tips of my fingers
to the tops of my toes

a flower sits
in repose

calling to me
dejected and forlorn

I compose

myself
and listen to the words whispered
forth

speaking to me of daffodil dreams
and peeks sanguine

in the distance
they seem

like a memory

of another time
when the love you brought to me

was something altogether different
than this fractured reverie

indigo aspect

green, purple, and blue,
they all remind me of something
new

clouds hanging behind the sun,
while the hunter rises
to the tops of the crisp autumn
morn

a cascading effect —
hope

lingers on my breath,
while present is this indigo
aspect

combined with lavender,
an aura coming out from behind
the moon

they are all products of the love
living inside of me
and you

the seeds

the fields brown grass reminds of tall tasks

flowers not yet weeping
seeds buried deep
awaiting the stars signal

to start creeping

toward the light on the other side
where crimson colored apples
and white-washed cotton candy

fill the skies

they are the seeds
made out of the kindest touch
and a whole lot of hope and love

A shorter version of this poem is also available on Twitter.

The Moon’s Lullaby, Published at MasticadoresUSA

I am so pleased to announce that my poem, The Moon’s Lullaby, 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.

The Moon’s Lullaby

moon night, I shine,
bottomless love is divine…

I had a conversation with the moon once. It was long ago, during a mist-covered evening, I was feeling quite lonely, and out of the ordinary. That evening the moon shined brighter than I’d ever seen.

It did almost feel like…

Earth Our Home, Published at MasticadoresIndia

I am so pleased to announce that my poem, Earth Our Home, is now available at MasticadoresIndia. Thank you to Terveen Gill, and the team at MasticadoresIndia for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.

Earth Our Home

I sit atop the stairs, reminiscing on times fair, and difficult beyond repair. As the pain continues to arise, and the memories flood my mind, my heart continues to wage a war with love at the center of despair.

I pick myself up, dust off the self, and…

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

stamped and sealed

my emotions crumble, as the weight of the world
trembles

walking in the forest, I pick cherry pits from
the ceiling

and

loose the heavens upon my heart, with one wish
and prayer

I dare

to walk among the trees, and see faith in humanity

a dream

when worlds collide among egoistic travesties

crimson colored roses, remind me of bloodshed and
gore

in the moment

resting along the thorns, dreams leak from my eyes,
as arises

despise

while peace lives on the other side, in an envelope
of bliss

I send it along with my heart, stamped and sealed with a kiss

Sending all of my love and prayers to the people of Ukraine. We stand with you.
