Closer

Trance-y
lights above
and in periphery
warm waves
wash over me
like soda bubbles inside 

there is no struggle
surrender
on the edge
of pleasure is pain
it's close
and I feel
Explode

head back
back arch
body under water
sub merge
hands hold
me up 
In you
I am 
suspended

We collide
Breath slow
movements deep
and touch

closer
than

we've 
ever been

before

Your voice

the stars shine bright 

at night 

and I see them 

when my eyes close

your voice whisper-shouts my name

the heat is off

but you 

warm me

~<

All day, every day

Soup bones simmer
hot water bubbles underneath
Like carrying child and being her
maiden and mother at once
Everything silver and sparkly and new
magical and bright
It's like that
Happy New Year!
I said, but 
the words bounced off 
and under
So be it
So be it
It is what it is
Brings
Reminders to be careful
though
word thought and deed
impeccability
is a must these days
He said
But still 
I wonder what time
it  happened
Some things we just cant
speak about 
at all

Energy races
fuzzy, electric and warm
I speed up
You slow me
cover me with your self
I can see you now
in the pupils of my eye
And the iris of my day dream
Moonstone shimmer
far across the Ocean
Footsteps on the sand
Always 
one step closer
All day
every day

Love

Bloom

Like a lotus blossom,

opening to the sun,

the roots are deep,

and covered in mud,

but that new flower

is beauty-full

Up

There's the Moon, a' course

And the chest a treasure, too

The waters

the rains

and the sun 

Peakin Thru

The man in the attic

There's flowers up there

Hold my hand

pull me up

Fly up outta here

.

Shines

Explosion continues

Phantoms from the past whip by 

like asteroids in the night

fear creeps explodes

Shot down

A burst of fire

Love Heals the wounds

covers scars and wraps

 like a hug

Strong sure arms protect

Tears still  fall 

but like stars in the night sky

out of the darkness

light shines

bright

Truth

Woke up this morning
(or maybe it happened sometime in the night)
Feeling
and knowing and struggling to find new words to describe
and new ways to say old things
because the words I have
don't work
In this new context

How to say thank you
when thanks is not the proper word?
How do I explain love?
when the love I have had
before
was tied to other things
and never felt like this
Before
I can't make new words
to explain what I feel
But I do not want to
And I do not need to
Because, now
when words fail me
They are not
all I have

Feelings
 tell
truth
 

explode

Happy heart
over flow
Angels
bearing 
unconditional
eyes wide open
heart is too
love
expands
world
explodes

LVP

lemon drop

Stormy dreams,
waves on shore
Ocean baptised
reptile girl
skin feels  strange
Shower doesn't wash it off

I wake and you're still here
but not

Hello, My little Lemon Drop
No words needed sometimes
Like now
This silence tells all

Wind says hello
and then 
She apologizes

Sunbird

A Sun bird hovers
then 
flits from twig to twig
As other small feathered ones
twitter, chatter
and the cicadas buzz 
over in the forest
And I watch it all
With eyes wide
Feeling pretty in my sun dress
Bare feet touching earth
Arms raised up to touch the sky
As the sun kisses my rosy cheeks
And warms the top of my head
branches of the mango tree
hang low
so ripe with fruit
And I fill my basket 
with sunshine from the gods
To take back for breakfast
The walk back to you
is slow, joyful, deliberate
Bosom full of fresh ripe fruit
hips sway under skirt
At   camp with Bounty from the world we live in
I hang the washing and watch the birds play
So careful not to wake you
Eyes lowered, heart singing
breath quiet, mind still
I stop in doorway don't say a word
and watch you dream
the world 
Peaceful, still , and soft like a babe
but strong as the Ocean deep
And  even as I breathe so quiet
You feel the the sound my body makes 
And turn toward me, awake
A smile turns the sides of your mouth upward
and your clear deep eyes draw me in
For  moment we are lost in this 
But the pitter patter of tiny feet, 
on tin roof above us -- quiet
break the the trance  
Your voice -- all I have ever needed
"My Love, I heard you coming."
