Poetry

Embrace…

 
~
 
 
Souls’ touch three times…
Once in acquaintance…
Twice in the furtherance of knowing…
Thrice in embrace…
Either for the goodbye…
Or for the staying…
 
That interchange of me and you, adding, reshaping us both in ways hitherto unknown.
 
The Soul’s language is pure emotion. Our thoughts evoke said emotion…
our words ignite them like match to flame.
In good ways…bad ways…all ways in between.
 
I will always carry a piece of you, and you of me.
The length and breadth of our entirety.
How much of each of us we give or take, isn’t fully up to our proportionate desire…
it goes deeper than that.
 
In some cases, I am so grateful for this interchange. And sometimes…
I wish to have the piece of me back for it was given to a poor steward.
 
Time’s alchemy reigns supreme and soon enough I will be carried forth on its waves to new shores…new experiences. New embraces.

Transcendence…

~
~
 
Transcendence via paper and ink …
         New dreams ignited by old dreams…
       An Amalgam Transmutes…
.
  Twisting branches of thought, in, around, reaching to the glitter of stardust.
Infusing their magic within each new growth…
      Day after night after day…
          Not a Wishing Tree…
              No…
                  A Dreaming Tree full of the blossoms of potent portent…
    Birthed, faded, reborn…waiting…
                                                                                                                          .
       Endlessly waiting…
          For Eternity…
                            For Enchantment…
                                                                                                                           .
            Waiting…
                                                                                                                            .
                 For me…

One Night…

΅〜 ೋღ ❁ ღೋ     〜΅

~

Lying under the blanket of night…
Stars sparkle their way through the black backdrop…
Creating illusions of images to please each soul…


Waiting for a star to fall…
Waiting to wish my secret wish…
I stare intently…hoping…
They are oblivious of me and my desirous intention…


Still I watch…
Still I wait…


Longing for that one fleeting moment…
They continue their twinkling show…


Still I wait…
Still I watch…


Night…
Your playground…
My wishing place…

Consume Me…

~

΅〜 ೋღ ❁ ღೋ     〜΅ 

It would be so easy to open myself to your love…

To fall fast and furious…

Fiercely intense chain reaction…

Combustion inside and out…

A mere thought of you the ignition…

My longing…my loneliness…my needs…the fuel for this fire…

This exigency flame enveloping us….

Your words caress from the inside out…

Ubiquitous desire…

Fulfilling yet….

Leave me aching….needing….wanting…

More…always more…

An addiction that is what you’ve become…

΅〜 ೋღ ❁ ღೋ     〜΅ 

Whether you will enhance me or destroy me remains unknown…

It would be so easy to discover which…

If only I could open the door to my soul and let you in…

Let you consume me….

There on a sandy seashore…

Waves crashing…

Warm gentle breeze…caresses seductively…

Softly blowing…playing with my hair…

΅∼ ೋღ ❁ ღೋ     ∼΅ 

I sit and stare…

Majesty of the sea…

Escaping reality…

΅∼ ೋღ ❁ ღೋ     ∼΅ 

All senses heightened…

Suddenly aware of everything…and nothing…

Watching…waiting…

Sand between my toes….

Salty spray envelopes softly…enticing…gently…

΅∼ ೋღ ❁ ღೋ     ∼΅ 

Tranquility…

The sea whispers…

Secrets of the ages…

Eternal treasures…

Brought ashore for me to explore…

Gifts to see, touch, discover…

Cherish…

΅∼ ೋღ ❁ ღೋ     ∼΅ 

Footprints in the sand…

Trail of my journey…

Washed away…

Nevermore…

΅∼ ೋღ ❁ ღೋ     ∼΅ 

Till the next tide…

When there’s even more to explore…

Evermore…

Melody of Silence…

~

΅〜  ೋ ♥ ೋ 〜΅

~

Reflections of silence resonate…

Dissonant deliberation… Among the ethereal scintilla…

Echoes speak in deafening taciturnity…

Melody of Silence…

 ΅〜 ೋღ ❁ ღೋ      〜΅

Through the maze of countless corridors…

Myriad of memories…

A forest of dreams…of hopes…

Therein lies my hidden sanctuary…

Dormant…

Awaiting its incendiary denouement…

΅〜 ೋღ ❁ ღೋ      〜΅

Ephemeral illumination…

Fragments of time reminisce…

Whispering in the familiar shadows… 

Euphony…

Obsidian Light…

   ~
On the edge of a shadow…
Undreamable depths…
Tableau of memory…
Obsidian light…
~
Through this shrouded night…
Shadows accompany me…peripherally
I roam searching… still
~
Waiting, enduringly…
Time’s metronome…
Vaporious impressions…
Passing through…
~
Nudges of a notion…
Carried on a wish…
Here and gone…
Presence of absence…
Denouement quiescent…
~

Nocturnal Wind…

~

Nocturnal wind…

Autumn’s essence envelopes me…

Infusing my senses…

A breeze so soft, gentle, caressing…
reminding me to feel pleasure, instead of the ache within…
of the light I should embrace, elusive light.
~
I look up…
Stars shine bright between the clouds moving in
their slow dance across night’s stage…
~
Velvet nights…
Black iridescence…
Irresistible intricacies…
Celestial secrets…
Whispering through Autumn’s soft touch…
Coruscating cimmerian thoughts, their ocean…
~
I convince myself that though the darkness is seemingly stealing this light…
to look at the moonglade…
to focus only on it…
To send the black back to the periphery…
To stay suspended in this luminescent moment…

Epiphany…

 

 

I see how different words are bestowed with a sublime radiance of varying hues of color…
Emotional gradation…

΅〜 ❁ 〜΅

I observe my palette of words very carefully…
One mustn’t rush…

΅〜 ❁ 〜΅

Slowly I begin to paint…first one then another…
I step back and look at the revealing of this new painting…
This creation of words blending into something wondrous…
Something hitherto unknown…

~
Time passes…

΅〜 ❁ 〜΅

I look again…
I close my eyes…

΅〜 ❁ 〜΅

I feel the tumultuous gathering…
The machinations of my senses coalescing into words…

΅〜 ❁ 〜΅

Their birth a beautiful rendition of everything combining at once…
As if time has no meaning here…
Past, present, future collide into my Phantasmagoric Dreamscape…
Joining…rejoining…connecting…
Locking together as though they already know how they are to combine…
As if they each have their own purpose, thought, desire…
To be seen, read, understood…

΅〜 ೋღ ❁ ღೋ 〜΅

Epiphany…
Am I their painter…
Or are they mine?

Resonating Echo…

resonating echo
~
Thoughts pause, reflect and grow,
suspended in the afterward…
Enveloped and suffused by the power,
the sum of thought and emotion words evoke…
There can be no full stop, for if there were the resonating echo could not,
would not, be felt as intended…as hoped…
~
It would not ripple across the ebbs and flows of inspiration…
the manifestation of their inception…
No, they must be allowed to continue on…
To ride the waves of Soul’s ocean…
Its Tides of Thought…
Reflecting the enigmatic visceral emotions
in the heart in each of us…
In all of us…
~
Let it roam…
Bird in flight…
Skimming rainbows…
Kaleidoscope of starlight…
~ 
Clouds of wonder…
Beginning with me… finishing with you…
Circle of completion…
In perpetuum…
This…
Is what fills my ellipses…
