Bride of Living WaterBe the bride that loves him
In living water we learn to swim
Bouquet of lily of the valley
A bridegroom’s gift has he
The ones with hurts in their hearts
A wedding banquet he imparts
Out of the mire, set on fire
Oil in lamp, tent makes camp
The true words of God
The truth comes inside
Revival in the thoughts
Knowing I’ve been bought
Dandelion...

Forest TherapyReturned to the wooded place I shed tears
where speaking out loud without any fears
had no shame or guilt attached to the spew
birds deer fairies fae gathered by the few
looking on from afar allowing my release
so I can continue my self-healing in peace
it was therapy for my soul without any pay
evaluating how far I have come...

Of living it up among the gods

To sweep us off to lovers moon
Trace my lips with...

Where are we goingIs he going to push us over the cliff
With all these trade bars and tariffs
My purse strings are going to go loose
May be my mind will also go off like a fuse
The economy on the brink of disaster
Day by day my hearts beats faster
Will I make it or will I not
WW3 within a close...

An Ode to A Rocky HeartAn empty space that seemed to yell
Come hold me tight and this hunger quell
A gentle touch, a warm caress
A kiss so light without duress
Over the rock the words flowed
Breaking it down blow by blow

Silent LoveThere is a love that does not speak
But gazes silently on the lover’s forehead peak
It rests in the knowledge that there is rest
In fewer words that remain caged in the breast
In its silence you will feel a calm
So soothing like cologne or a cooling balm
But to others it might seem to frustrate
The boredom leading one...

The Skies Their Trapeze
Acrobats of the air, the skies their trapeze
Daring loop-de-loops performed with such ease
They fly in formation, weave in and out, while
the faint-hearted scream, the lion-hearted shout ...
