Gifts of Nature

Oh breeze oh breeze upon my face your breath so soft and free
My body yearns to feel thou breath which blows so warm on me
Oh breeze oh breeze with birds you fly as you lift them far and wide
A thousand feathers gently flock to you begging for a ride

Oh sun oh sun such glories rays as you shine on flowers in bloom
All life does ask for your warming glow to save them from sure doom
Oh sun oh sun your hot healing fire makes the darkness go away
Each hour that you share your love, grey shadows never stay  
  
Oh crystal waters fast and flowing over each mountains peak so clean
You quench my body and my soul nourishing every cell pristine
Oh crystal waters your precious drops quenching all life on this earth
Your raging essence and your awesomeness supports energy, life and birth 
 
Oh earth oh earth under my body you heal as you energize me with your touch
When I lay upon your blanket green you fill my heart and soul with much 
Oh earth oh earth my mother dear I  thank you for holding me here
Without your love and your greatest force my spirit would fly up in the air

Each one of you does strengthen me and hold my mortal frame 
As I enter one life from another I find your fire, wind and rain.

Earth Beneath My Feet

I wish I could just flip the world
and walk upon the sky
with the clouds beneath my tired feet
and the earth above me high
~
I would swim and glide through perfect blue
exploring every cloud I see
I would ask the stars for stardust light
for when the night fall downs on me
~
Like a bird I’d fly , I’d twist and turn
closing my eyes , sun against my skin
I would humbly ask the eagles how
to dance gently in the wind
~
I would dance and turn and fly about
till rest begged me to sleep
Then I’d open my eyes and my twisted earth
would be back against my feet
~

Happiness

Sunshine

Punches sadness

floating on clouds weightless

delighted happiness will follow

I shine

Haiku - Four Seasons

Orange lilies sway

Swollen wood fence leaning drenched

First summers storm over

______________________________________________________

Cold autumn breeze blows

Bell ringing in the distance

Red leaves slow dancing

______________________________________________________

Tree branch barren home

Red oak acorns deep

Squirrels huddle for warmth

______________________________________________________

Ice soon melts new day

Gray chair with no color creaks

Sunshine breaths new life

Cupids Bow

One pierce from loves’ arrow sent my heart high

dear Cupid cast a gift from his red bow

weightless soaring through God’s lonely blue sky

Laced with bounties of love he would bestow

 

On that day we first met true love did soar

I pinched my own arm to startle my sleep

Then wondered if this new love would soon bore

yet love grew rich I fell deeper than deep

 

I knew that your love must be heaven sent

As I prayed to meet true love such as thou

Your love a bright spark of God He so lent

Just when I needed your love then and now

 

My faith restored in loves quest I believe

As Cupid struck hard that midsummer’s eve.

I Would Forever Wait

If I could be but a breath;

Anticipating each sweet rhythm; watching the rise of my chest

Collapsing in sweet song, sending out just my best

Id breathe out I Love you, and forget all the rest

 

If I could be but a breeze;

Id whisper my love in a rustle of leaves, anticipating as they awake

New fall colors scattering my love neither here nor there, Id debate

If this breeze was what could describe my heart, as it ached

 

If I could be but a gust,

Id blast my strong gale, erupting in a clatter and loud clangs

I would howl out your name as the gust accompanied hard rain

Tears streaming down by thousands, rattling cold window panes

 

If I could be but a draft;

Id slip under doorways, slide in next to you as you forever sleep

Rest myself within white satin's, under boards as they creak

Be that shiver that reminds you, you are never alone despite what you think

 

If I could only be with you;

As a warm wind I’d soar to heaven’s gate

I’d stay there

I would forever wait.

Spring Oasis

Sauntering without hindrance in consciousness

Sudden waves of lilac delight

Borne of a sweet tempered breeze I inhale

Powerful auras and essence soon ignite

 

Fields of flowers, tall grass, background birds singing

Closing my eyes I can no longer resist

I feel myself floating on air to that place I know well

Only in my mind does this utopia exist

 

Happiness and laughter fill my oasis

Birth of life from all nature abide here

Lilac carries me on a cloud of joy

Perched above all sadness and fear

 

Immaculateness wafting from rows of white lilacs

Serenity encompasses my spirit with peace

Pink lilacs increase my self confidence

My inner spirit strengthened, absence of meek

 

The violets ignite my spirits passions

Storms of rapture to undo all the wrongs

At peace I repose with new purpose

As my oasis once again has helped me grow strong

Spring Haiku Collection

Thin ice fades away
Worms begin to stir beneath
Sprouted grass tickles ant’s toes

~

Fingerprints on glass
A blue jays nest on my eve
Babies sing its spring

~

Muck squash rubber boots
Rain sprinkles from heaven’s gate
Rainbows glow full bloom

~

Scent of white violets
Innocence blooms, babies smile
Sand grows in socks and shoes

~

Ah yes summer’s sun
Convertibles screech down roads
Trees awake leafless

Journey

Captured beneath a smokey red hazy sky, mesmerized

My attention and heart did follow

Sky aglow for as far as the eye could see

A beautiful sunset resting in her hallow

 

Red, pinks, some bedazzled grays

Imprisoned rainbows from this day

Quiet as they did sweep, silent

Across the land into the deep

 

Breathless, I gazed upon such beauty magnificent

She gently kissed the earth goodnight

With my hand to my heart

I was lost without word, simply grateful for such a sight

 

Too quickly she hurried

Whispering sweet promises of her next journey

Blessings From Mother Nature

When my head had failed to sooth my heart

Common sense could not be found

Mother Nature hurled her cape of sustenance

In Her beauty, love tumbled around

 

When darkness from an impaired heart

Cast a spell my way with a leer

Love whispered “quick surround yourself”

A blanket of green earth appeared

 

When the thunder of my psyche clapped

Fleets of shame soon downward poured

Lighting strikes shook those within my breadth

No light came til the morn

 

Young spirits frolicked on my bed of green

Elapsed storm left a morning’s dew

Awakened with the sun’s bright rays of hope

A yellow bird settled on arms length bloom 

 

Comfort of innocence and beauty enchanted me

In silence I submerge my thoughts in natures play

I whisper to my heart “it will be just fine”

For in Nature’s light and love, I am blessed today.

Believe

Once upon my childhood, for God’s love there had to be fear

His comfort I sought only arms length to please

As I repeated Acts of Contrition on my knees

Through my grandmother’s glasses I could see her glare


I knew God was above and when we die so were we

Yet narrowness and rules spelled out misery, strife

In God’s name wars began such pain ends of life

My religion got cloudy as I searched to be free


My heart so torn, there’s more I believe

This earth which we live on simply one of the few

With such little we know can we be so naive?

Too many galaxies and moons scattered deep in the blue


My quest for more knowledge too much too conceive

My religion I let go.......but in God I believe



Attempts at a ~Sonnet

Dark Rain

Lashing out at me in rage anger
Speaking ill of my name and my strife

Forgetting all good and the love I have offered
Your perception is yours, not truth of my life

Why such dark anger and aversion do you offer
Lurking round corners my soul tainted thrashed with this hate

Poisoning those who had not met me with your lies no regret
This reflection you cast in your dark rain is not my fate as you berate

Just leave me alone in your cowardly scorn
I’ll do my best to forgive this negatively you rain

Your words and your hatred just the inner sadness of your soul
Such sadness I see, this pain that you hold

Your reflection of you and nothing more than your pain
This is but you your dark rain , not me nor my name

This picture you've painted lines smeared you lash out
Never speaking to me these claims you cast out

such foul words that you've said, too much anger resentment built up in your head
exploding the surroundings of those that dare enter your dark dread

So leave my name not on your lips
For I have a lot of good that you do not express

And this world that you live in, it’s only your world don’t you see?
Your anger is not mine to own it’s yours, so just let me be

Haunted

Clutching the edges of the mirror I screamed in silence
"I see you, I know you are there! Show yourself."
Grief welled up inside as my swollen heart constricted; expelling ache in
one single tear that sped down my crimson cheek.

Stale cigarette smoke lingered in the hallway, yes
she was here all right! Her soft words murmured and echoed
off the walls as spiders hugged their cozy winter corners.
The air parted slightly as I heard a whisper, “I love you, I’ll always be with you.”

I know she is here, I hear her in my own voice as I whimper and shout
"I love you mummy, mummy, mummy", as I always did sing out in her praise.
Remembering how she held back her last tears as did I on that day. Moments
that I curse as it was so unnatural full knowing there would be no more hugs and hellos.

The good bye was loud as it screamed in the absence of the tears that were forced
so very far back . With a lump in my throat I winced out that one last fake smile.
I turned away choking on my dry thick sorrow, trying as best I could to swallow the loss.
My throat was closing in; I couldn't breathe out one last turn back over my shoulder.

My eyes glazed over as my heart filled with tears. I never thought I’d bear witness
to my first, my last and my final goodbye.

Kiss Me Again

Passion withheld

Tormenting desire

Wanting so badly

My body on fire

 

Tasting your mouth

Your lips soft , oh so sweet

Longing all over

My will power weak

 

Temptation resistance

Confused with desire

Kiss me again

My body’s on fire!

The Unwelcome

As my heavy eyes stretched open
I suddenly realized, I was not alone
You were there with me again, unwelcome with your heaviness and sorrow
stirring around once more in the depths of my brain, uninvited.

The acute pain you cause me 
has seemed relentless this past year
as you stumble around in my dreams, sleepless I awaken 
to curtains drawn as the thankless sunlight frowns forsaken.

I wondered in my drowsy state
If the curse was in the chocolate 
or perhaps it was that one glass of wine which betrayed me 
as I fell back in harm’s way while you laid in wait, veiled I could not see.

I long to have you out of my life
You do not define me yet you try
so very hard to keep me under your curse, weakening my very essence
with your intense pain , lashing out with your ever ready presence.

I am more than you
you may steal a day of my life 
here and there as you savagely twist my hours into tragedy 
only to see jagged lines of sorrow drawing out my agony.

But I am more than you
You cannot define me with your promise of pain
Or your lifetime of shadows cast from family with the same
No this girl, will not let you win even if you are dangerous and inflamed 
I am more than you.
