voided wind
I stand at the precipice of the lost
where pieces of my skin
rotate back, and forth
within the voided wind
as my soul resonates
with the words that come…
I would be honored if you would read the rest of my poem here. Thank you!

I am excited to announce that my poem, You, Seedling, 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.
You, Seedling
like a seed growing up through the ground
you were born, and the mystery
continued to confound
me, relating to the breeze was always so easy
and, yet
the little one cradling my finger
was our seedling, beautiful
with an air…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!
I would also like to acknowledge Gabriela Marie Milton’s poem, You, Night, the title of which was the inspiration for how I titled this piece.

stems and seeds
shadows are cast over my eyes
as I try to find
the nature of reality inside
the stems and seeds
gifted to me
while I await the return of the tide
within
the heart and stone romancing…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

I bleed from the trepidation within
of salt and the sand beneath
the trees skin
It’s like wondering, and wandering
around the needle of a haystack
rightly sized and trimmed
with a beneficence of hope, and
a ladle made from the love we once formed
Is it possible to love this much, and not bleed more?
I don’t think so either.
For, it’s in the form of the fountain
where love gets lighter
living beneath the breath of this struggling architect, and
the love that lives within
the next steps of his flowered aspects
I was excited to learn yesterday that my poem, The Seas Adoration, was nominated for June Publication of the Month at Spillwords Press.

Voting is open though June 29, and you can vote here. Thank you!

fiery lake
love lives in each heartbeat
and breath
we take, regardless of past
mistakes
and the pain we rake
like mist
that takes me on a trip…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

trees hold up the sky
you’ve always known it was that way
by design
like candy rolled up into a tiny ball
sprinkled
with love, these shiny bits of
fall, brown and sandalwood colored delightfulness
befall us all
when we allow the love of childhood to enter the space
we’ve hidden inside
the flowers stamen, tall
and magnificent
a fragrance from the heavens cascading down in time
with the beating of our hearts
even when thin, and dreary
the tides
escape
the banks of the river deltas hymn
with the love we share in common within
I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for all of the love, prayers, hugs, and support you sent to my family and I over the past few days. Things have settled, and I now am back on WP. I will spend the next few days catching up on your beautiful poems and posts. Sending love and blessings to all of you.
I was elated to learn yesterday that the Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women anthology is now a #1 best seller. How amazing! Congratulations to Gabriela, Ingrid, Nick, and all of the wonderfully talented authors! You can pick up a copy here.
As a reminder, there is a launch party this morning at 7 am PST, where some of the authors will be reading their poems from the anthology. That is one hour from now, and you can tune in via YouTube here. Alas, I will not be in attendance this morning, yet send my love and best wishes to Gabriela, Ingrid, Nick, and all of the authors for a splendid event.

I am so pleased to announce that my poem, empty nest, is now available at MasticadoresIndia. Thank you to Terveen Gill, and the team at MasticadoresIndia for their continued support, and for publishing this piece.
empty nest
the pain comes to me in the afternoon
as I sit in front of the tree
meant for you and me
I cannot hide from the tears inside
they well up
and finally, come forth…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

I am excited to announce that my poem, The Seas Adoration, 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.
The Seas Adoration
sitting on the shore of lore, I nestle
into the salt and stone
vibrating all alone
while listening
to the wind whistle strawberry tunes
as birds carry blueberry hues
in a sky…
I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

When I learned last month that Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women was open to submissions from all sexes, I chose to submit two poems written specifically for this wonderful collection.
I am honored to announce that my two poems were accepted. I’m also excited to inform you about a WIH event on June 4.
From the Editor, Gabriela Marie Milton:

That is 7 am PT (USA) for those on the west coast. I will be there and hope to see you there too.
I am also honored to announce that my poem, Hidden Inside, was nominated for May Publication of the Month at Spillwords Press. Whereas all of the poems I write have deep meaning to me, this poem is deeper than most.
As some of you know, there was a time when I was disconnected from my intention and all of the gifts that the connection to one’s heart entails.
It’s been a long time since that time, yet emotions still arise from that part of my life, as it was traumatic and very difficult.
It makes the nomination for my poem, Hidden Inside, more profound for me.
I would be honored if you would go here and vote. Voting closes on 5/29. Thank you!
splashes of lilac dance across the sky
in tune with my heart denied
as aspects of you
hide
under the suffering moon
and, as it all takes root
I dance across tree limbs
looking for a commonplace to loom
in my quest
to understand the me, in you

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