Premium Member Flight To Midnight
O albatross guide my loosed soul  
from the shipwreck seized by sandy shoal

persuasive Polar Star in quiet pull
a sailor’s tired eyes gone dark 
I will dream while we fly 

on wings that span horizons east to west 
I ride upon a cloud your belly...

You gave me wings 
    to experience the 
         freedom of flight 
               my love.

You let me soar

Premium Member A Spark In Flight
My love, the world is ours,
its reflective sapphire oceans,
its turquoise pine tree forests,
its topaz colored days,
its moonstone lit evenings.
My love, I'm certain it's us.

The amethyst citrine painted sunset 
called our names right from its onset.

You are my never ending wide open sky
with a red orange coral...

The Flight of Bebo
Bebo was a bird
who could not fly
He kept flapping his wings 
'cause he knew he must try

There were two other birds 
that were laughing at him
As he was jumping and flapping
up high on a limb

It must be so hard 
to be stuck in a tree
Said,...

The Flight of Tempest Reigned
Upon a glorious night
A burning fire lit upon my unrented spine
Deafened by fleeting sight
I flee the home that never was quite mine

Crushed in garish fight
Within the corridor I dare to flee
Blinded by his might
While all the sad spirits return to me

Oh Tempest, you blow in...

Premium Member Fight or Flight Mode Switched On
Fight or flight mode always on
Can't explain to anyone
what is going on in life
Internal/External strife

"Take a breath; you'll be alright"
Set a match to dynamite
World without is going mad
World within is getting sad

Cortisol spikes all the time
Rarely am I doing fine
"Wake up! Someone's calling you!"
"Look around!...

Premium Member Disaster On Flight Fd4465e
I arrived at the airport, along with my wife
For two whole weeks we'll live the good life
We're flying out today for a break in Italy
The place we've both always wanted to see.

We got through security then went to duty free
Champagne for my wife, and whiskey...

Gutter Pavement Runway Flight
They elude me now ...words
Drinking befits a drowning man possessed
Swimming off this broken page
Baton winning in a relay race
I breached the ribbon sliced with chest
Joy! I gasped


Grown tired of my own riddles
Those halting jagged lines
Conversely I committed 
So disrespectful of my crimes
In dispatchment utter lunacy
Forgiveness...

Premium Member A Flight of Dreams
A prelude to darkness will glide on wings of twilight,
 Night will slip its ebon shawl upon the sky
 and twinkling stars will loosen dreams
 that nestle in surreal gleams

 Reality will open the dreamer's eyes
 As shadows walk across the wall,
 The arms of...

When I close my eyes I hear the sound of your voice floating in the 
air like dandelion fur, catching the breeze and dancing upward.

I remember the day when we camped in the rain and wrapped 
ourselves in blankets to keep warm, hearing the acorn...

Premium Member Swaying Slowly
Stepping into the dance
Gently taking your hand in mine
Entering the realm of infinite possibilities
Where passion and desire breathe as one
An eternal hug
Enveloping our laughter and tears

Swaying slowly
Your breath tickling my ear
We are guided by our mirrored hearts
Open to the ancient whispers within
Arms open wide in...

Earth whispers
I hear her
I am here to receive 
Nuances of flight and discovery
My senses warm with anticipation

Fragments of hope and desire
Pain and loss
Arrive on moonbeams of broken glass
Shattered dreams sing
Delivering silky threads 
Glistening with seedlings of rebirth

Opening my heart, I close my eyes
Leaning forward into...

Elevating Heart



Sweat of Life
Piercing pain of Sorrow
Pendulum of gratitude in motion

How fortunate to experience  
To Feel
To delight in the depths of emotion
I burst knowing I am capable of such workings of the 
Heart, mind and soul

I am you
You are me
We are we
 
We are...

Premium Member Praise of Peace

Sacred silence
Blended with praise
For the Creator, who always will amaze
Quietly hovering, winged splendor
Beautiful like the vibrant hues
Glazed in whispered dreams
Music, art and poetry

Blessed brilliance
Laughing like the stars
Whimsical and mysterious
Magnificent, painted in exciting tints
Melodious aspirations kindled
Beneath prayers for grace
Awakening on the heart of faith

Holy lights, soft...
