The Watch

Looking inside of an old conducter's watch,
Pausing to reflect. Like a small planet or
universe, life moving in sync.
Harmony, rhythm, bodies in motion.
Fast & slow moving & working together,
each doing its part individualy.
Noticing a delicate piece moving in 
rythm with my heart. Out of curiosty,
I ignorantly, carelessly,
selfishly imposing my will against it,
touch it, disrupt it. 
The old watch stops.
So does time.

Atempt

Blow by blow,
wanted to go.
Protected &
guided from
throw after throw,
every one way
too slow.
Heavenly father
caught that blade
& just wouldnt
let it go.
My head they
wanted to reap
but father
let me keep.

Omega

Disrupting the surface it spreads 
the beach of skin. Like a cracked
windsheild slowly winding around,
my vein opens & air seeps in.
Blood, moist & warm like lava it 
spills into the cold ocean.
Flies & misquitoes feed. My open 
heart bleeds. 
Warm morning sun gently caresses
the cold ground. Drying, healing, filling the earth
with its life.
Morning dew looks so sweet getting... 
thirsty. Tiny droplets of sweat
beading off my forehead mixing into
the red ocean around me..is that you sister? tears of blood
.. crying heart. Shortness then 
subtle, loss of breath. Lightning leaps
seemingly from my chest.
My soul runs like freedom to father, 
my body becomes one again with mother.

Alpha

Two souls, one creature.
Soft, warm, infinite & utter bliss.
Nurturing, growing, hearts beating, 
souls singing intertwined in an endless
dance.
Veil of forgetfulness embraces me, 
cradles me. I slumber inside this heavenly
creature. What's this? Sounds beyond?
Is there more somewhere out there?
Time passes yet still, what were
infinite amounts of space, slowly close in.

Earthquakes erupt & explode, bubbles that 
burst oils of life that spill as I awake & cry.

Seeds

Even johny apple seed,
planted a few weeds.
~
Words, like seeds.
Taken personally
grow.

Tend your garden
Dear freind,
so the bad 
ones don't
sow.

Overwhelming Horses

Strong, muscular, moving in sync,
like an ocean of lavender their bodies move.
Waves of clapping hooves consistently beating
the earth like thunder beats the sky.
This is how my heart moves,
like a panther to its prey,
towards the stampede.

Suffocation, intoxication, devastation.
Refusing to be tamed as sure as life is to 
death.
Spring, summer, night,
day, month, week,
hour to minute, 
run in time.
Refuse to be trampeled.

My Quill My Arrow

Climbing up on the old crusty castle wall.
Skipping my thoughts off the clouds
and hopefully unto you.
"My quill my arrow and 
space is your sheild."

"Hello Molly dolly my dear purrfect cat!" I
say as she climbs up pulling her fat.
"Where's your brother willy?" After a long 
stretch and yawn she purrs "Oh he's down
there hiding in your hat".
Lifting her up placing her cold wet nose
to mine. "How lucky this life I am so
blessed to grasp"
Setting her down, I begin to write..

Unworthy

Embraced by love,
touched by warmth,
kissed with passion.
My tears were inspired by fear;
I couldn't understand love,
warmth, passion or joy.
So foreign, these feelings.
What does it mean to be
needed, wanted, 
to be loved and to love.
Couldn't accept
the love you gave freely,
so sweetly.
Couldn't explain it. 
Alone for so long,
sores still bleed,
wounds are dirty and deep;
Guess I'm just
unworthy.

Wax Spilled

To any one who has loved the unattainable

Scanning, searching the stars,
nights pour in to months,
months into years,
until finally at long last,
I saw you gleaming in the distance.

Gracefully you shine,
Up staging even the moon,
and when it rains
you reign. 


Every word you wrote, lit a candle 
in my eyes. Wasn't long before my eye's
were like a cathederal on
Christmas Eve. 
Candle's burning like a great
fire, warming the halls of my heart.
Wasn't your fault the wax spilled
and burned my cheeks.

The stars never ask us for our wishes,
they can't even hear us,
but we give them just the same.

Children of Creation

CHILDREN OF CREATION 

DEDICATED TO THE CONSCIOUS

AWAKEN
SONS AND DAUGHTERS 
OF CREATION!

Father gave us this time to live, 
learn,enjoy and like our sweet 
perfect brother taught us LOVE.
Given we were keys of life. Watch
as they giggle and dance in our veins!

Dream really great dreams but don't stop
there..Breathe..yes breathe life into them
forge them from your sweat and will power.

BORN TO CREATE WE ARE. Will it or not
you create every second of your life.
Can't stop what's in your blood. However,
you can choose your creations.
LIKE FATHER CHOSE YOU.
