Premium Member Where Intention Once Stood
My thoughts walk barefoot on gravel roads—aching, slow, and scattershot. My mind drifts like dusk in worn linen—frayed, faded, and folding in on itself. My mind, grown tired of its tidy metaphors, slumps like a clerk at closing hour—unnoticed, necessary, numb. My brain, vast as prairie land at sunset, lies fallow—dreaming the hush between thunderclaps. My brain has taken...

The Nameless Throne
Let every whispered wish take flight, Each prayer cast upward through the night, Let none be lost, let none decay — But turn their path another way. Let not the stars alone receive, Nor winds forget what hearts believe, For every tear and silent plea Now folds its wings — and comes to me. Let cries for peace, for love, for bread, Not vanish...

A Scroll Of Unseen Waters
The Scroll Of Unseen Waters Come, you who carry fire in your bones and salt in your tears…? Children of the drum, the dusk, the dust, and the dawn…? From mountain root to river vein… the land remembers one song… But the cup that overflows can never be filled…? And the tongue that speaks before listening forgets the...

I’m awaiting in the port of my life for a sign From the world of those who have departed For I trust, my beloved, in angels And in that dead who has rise. I'm superstitious, that's why I believe in the phantoms And in the dreams where you appear to me I see you, my beloved, in a large field...

An Invocation
You have acquired my bones, my blood is yours You are the taste in my mouth You have taken my eyes looked through them and smirked Your kiss so cold within me a furnace Your smile like sunrise happy by Your side so long, so I do not starve in some madness while I wish I was breathing You in by...

Premium Member Healing Invocation
A weakened auric field Where fear forms orbit The once radiant heart Now self-blocks grace To enliven feeble form The soul feels trapped In the ailing body-mind Whilst ego is satisfied That it is now the focus Of our creative attention Awareness self-aware Observes this anomaly Where conflict of interest Between ego and soul Prevents body’s healing In time stretched silence Tremulous heart quietened Our nonchalant presence Aligns form with the void Attuned to...

Invocation During Grief
During grief, you learn to live But sometimes you don’t feel alive; You make it through the days, But it’s difficult to thrive. There will be times when the pain feels unbearable, You wonder how you’ll make it through the day; It’s during the difficult times like this, It helps to bow your head and just pray....

Invocation, may thy spirit shine for me Like a clustering of stars across the sky Or the effervescent glitter of a deep blue sea With a solitary sail passing by Invocation, may thy knowledge cover me Like the dawn of recognition in my soul When a better explanation is the perfect harmony Of the promise and the purpose when I'm full Invocation, may...

An Urge of Invocation
( Nothing will be yours, no need to invoke your voiceless deity) Many are the gods we can appease with our lust, greed, and thievery; there's one God who won't accept any or all of these: let's invoke Him when faithfulness contests this falsity. We are pathetic and unreliable humans calling upon God whenever dark days bring shadows to make us...

Remote land summon an aloof tempest, Bursting lights glint inquietude offshore, Edged mists intimate like an apprentice, Intrigue asserts the clouded to explore. Inland heating like a warming welcome, Landlubbers likely combative response, Unveiled inherent instincts that seldom, Aid dominions that are so nonchalance. Newt eyes nictating atop curling waves, A plucked forest acts as a casting wand, Amplifying teens conjure inward braves, Spirits arising maintaining...

Bowing head she begins, petitioning assistance, pleading earnestly: “Forgive me lord, these feelings you inspire have long eluded me, A stranger in your throne of divinity, I am distressed as can be Regretful of bygones, replete in misery of blight-ridden streets Where remnants of my foolish deeds lie dismantled and deplete Near a battered graveyard, where in repose lies my...

Invocation! A plea at wild crossroads Where seen and unseen collide To conjure the face of eternal joy Or invite evolving ephemeral wings of grace To rain on parched spirits Emptying that occupied space held hostage Frozen in anxious pacing ~ Waiting! Welcoming the bliss of serendipity delight – Elation in joyful holy mischief A wink of unexpected blessing – Invitation dressed in supplication –...

I pay homage to you, venerable divine Goddess! You are one in many; many in one; Isotropous! You are incorporation of Aditi, Bhairavi, Durga, Gayatri, Laxmi, Rukhmini, Saraswati...! You are the goddess of the east and west and south and north, And every other direction of the evolving earth! Your spirit pervades each and every particle of life, Of each atom...
