Awaken your soul
through the whispers of
your senses
Breathe in the colors
of your karmic
arias
Caress the stars of light
as they fleet across the
heavens for you
Drink the elixir of life
for it is your destiny
to be free
Every soul deserves beauty
and the essence of
truly being seen
Let your soul speak to you
life giving words of
love, until eternity.
"Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free. Nothing's worrying me." B J Thomas
Stewing o’er surprise storms?
"Crying's not for me."
Wringing peace from panic’s plea,
welcome water’s whimsey.
Let the rain soak in…
revive sapped energy
restore grass to green
relax the worry-warts.
Duplicate the pinky
Before you take your breath away
Gonna need hear yourself give in there
Yes you isn't
I'm affordable?
Before I lose the brass off my foot
Duplicate the other side
Sugar blend with strife.
A slice of bittersweet life.
Serve on a sharp knife.
Let it be beautiful
I know you love me
I could see the fire in your eyes
Each time we are together
You never stop holding my hands
Always closer to me
You keep
Paying attention to my words and voice
I can feel love from your reaction
I can testify that you are down with me
So please my baby
keep this fire burning
Let it be beautiful
It seems like love just wants to kill you,
but don't ever let it still you.
Can you endure it any longer?
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Sigh deeply or just cry
Pluck pain’s deep roots inside,
All expressions released
Distress and our anguish
Loosen dark evening's grip,
Bitterness drops and flows
A comfort before dawn.

Suffused with diffused glint
of my love at sunset,
you faded like twilight
in fallen stormy sky.
Angst thunder broke my heart,
the splinters sighed in pain,
cracked voice echoed in void.
hello my little drop
come to paint my cheek damp -
to etch your dour rill there
and reflect her smile …
yet, you are only one
while the heavens weep wild …
let it rain … and be gone!

Silence cuts the marrow.
Tears carve stone in ribs.
Shadows weigh the chest.
A pulse breaks stillness.
Grief learns its own voice.
Words crack but still breathe.
Let pain speak at last.
What a long hot year here,
the cactus are wilting.
Cement is getting soft,
birds in the trees are cooked.
Long hot days with hot nights,
must stop for everyone.
Let It Rain-cool rain now.
Allow the destruction.
Surrender to the hurt.
Loss will show no mercy.
Stripped down; raw form. Exposed.
Face contorts. Punctured chest.
Descent into abyss.
Demise precedes rebirth.

let it rain, let it pour
I want to see rainbows
hear its pitter patter
smell it in my being
hide my tears in its drops
letting it all go gush
Sweet summer is ending,
autumn colors begin
to show in the hedgerow
while bees rush to harvest
the last lonely blossoms~
but wildfires are burning,
and we pray let it rain!

Barbed hook in paddled-foot,
in pink pelican-web:
misery in flip-flop.
Flustering-feathers flap
until wrapped... in darkness.
“Just cut it ! Back it out!”
"Hey, she’s free! Fresh...anew..."
