Yearning
We met by a stream
in the midst of a dream
faded into morning’s mist
O, how we yearned to kiss...

musings on memorythrough the waking, dreaming and deep sleep states
memory offers continuity
as we weave our way through life’s wispy gates
birthing feeling of perpetuity
the light of our Self illumines the soul
which in turn enlivens the ego mind
but mavericks any we feel not whole
until we leave fears and desires behind
attuned to Self in cave of heart aflame

The Silence Between UsWill things ever go back to the way they were?
I took for granted those smiles, those laughs
and now I don’t see them anymore.
How do I undo what’s already done?
Did I let go of your hand somewhere along the way,
or were you gone before I even knew?
Your voice sounds different now
does it mean you’ve fallen out...

Outside reality
I'm on a path that stretches on
The end I can't now see
But I've determination
That's one aspect of me
Plus endless dedication
Though what will be, will be...

TodayToday
I gave myself permission
To do all the things I have always wanted
To run through the halls
To scream as loud as I could
To shake up my soda and let it explode
To run as fast as I could
To jump in the fountain and splash the water
To run naked as a Jay bird through...

Portrait Of A WaveWaves shape the sound of soaring sea
Ride the tides of what ought to be
Layer on layer out of reach
Breaking breakers bound on our beach
Stirring swirls make clear waters curl
Rolling rumblings leap to unfurl
Watery spritz that twist then sway
As bubbled foam pulls back away
Each wave differing grasping high
Trying to touch the spacious sky
Dreams drenched in schemes...

lostOur old memories, the only comfort I have from you.
Every day, you’re jogging around my mind,
Like a ghost, haunting the same house.
Forever moving further and further away.
I wonder, do you still feel this way?
Do I haunt your dreams?
Do I pester your unconscious mind?
In the rooms I stand in, you follow in the corners.
I hear your...

At dusk when my shadows retreatAt dusk when my shadows quit me,
That’s when hundred arrows hit me.
So far some faceless folks fooled me,
My own close to heart now cheat me.
A feeling heart hails thee, my friend,
Come heart to heart, why audit me?
Come, pry unto my nightlong dreams,
Thence, for what I say credit me.
Dawn dawns, if dream deprived I...

The Journey Within
Presently, God has a plan and purpose that was set in
motion before we were born. His love for us allows us
to be participants in the JOURNEY to our destiny. Indeed,
we are not robots or mortals in motion via instincts.
Presently, all of us exist in space and time. These two entities,
space and time, make up our...

Betrayal's BegottenSo far, they go -
A distant throw -
Down simple snow -
Forgotten.
And yet, a maid -
Through crime, parade -
And riches swayed -
Ill-gotten.
The weak confide -
Then run to hide -
To turn the tide -
Now rotten.
A dream, they’ll fade -
The cuts, been made -
No chance, persuade -
Stained cotton.

Life without youLife Without You
Life without you
in cold desert sand,
I walk without shadow,
the sun too tired to care.
Alone in the place I used to know,
walls whisper your name in cracks and corners,
but you never answer.
Silence moved in where your voice used to be.
The rooms are getting smaller,
the windows won’t open,
time has folded in on itself
only...
