Candid and fully exposed as the theatre’s light dims
She stands poised, dauntless disciplined and statuesque
A stance both stalwart and defiant yet supple are her limbs
Mango hued flower, shoulder's thrown back thrusting her breast
He sits rapped by intrigue as he studies her movement
A silver fox and raven mane is neatly brushed regally back
To beautify him further would take divine improvement
Only to be bathed in her impassioned embrace does he lack
Swirls of sangria red fabric charge like El toro spark undulating trails
Laced in pearly white with azure blue print mesmerize and highlight
And flow about her generous hips in a rage of billowing canvas sails
Flamenco dancers firm legs are revealed in fish nets that boldly invite
Whilst her furtive glimpse ignites his cavalier bon vivant smile
She bewiles with onyx eyes that glisten and fingers splayed for effect
He connects in a flash with a performers come hither guile
Upon times eternal river this fiery night's tryst they shall reflect
Strange tales now I see
Dying death sets free
What is meant to be
Just look deeper then
Dying death knows when
Final curtain span
Watch the glimpse that tells
Dying death speaks well
Cast that final spell
Write the last page here
Dying death frames cheer
A deeper plunge spears
To come is to go
Dying death now shows
Dance in ebb and flow
Be bold my dear heart
Dying death greets start
Ending splash binds art
This is our commute
Dying death refutes
Stillness is not mute
Speak then silence bold
Dying death grips cold
Transcend what now holds
Seek that stillness deep
Dying death brings sleep
My darlings don't weep
My soul goes home now
Dying death endows
Beyond why and how
At the final gate
Dying death drowns hate
Soul embraces fate
Do not grieve or fear
Dying death makes clear
Soul knows endless cheer
Sing and dance and play
Dying death now pays
Love's forever day

Before the day unfolds from crumpled sorrow prior to dawning
yawning fake cumbersome fawning’s creases nocturnal tossing
turning ragged motion rigor ante mortis refuses to leave the sheets
and pleated feat of forlorn furrows of a haunted mind and soul
The tired hangman’s girth and girders glide crushingly from heaven while
moon shadows’ frizzled fragments show no mercy reflect the blinding
darkness’ solar soaring cannot quench the thirst that is no more as grimy
star dust descends in acrid shivers on the burning frosty condemnation
A pillow case draped round the neck perverts the petting pecking order
of a reckless needy comfort long past the passion of redemption’s kiss
burst bent spent and hollow the cotton duvet draped in remorseful sores
blends easily with heavy weights and suffocating nothingness of dawn
When shadows leave no reflection as mirrors of the past and present cast
no more glimpse of prism when compressed condensation remains the
only lonely companion left to soothe like grating acid wounding scabby scars
all light goes out and vanished freedom plies it’s murky clarity again
Gasping – breathes of hope
Puffing dreams, delighted goals
Inspiring confidence, expectation
Anticipation and courage, burning
Away the darkness and doubt,
All of the fear that lingers in the air
Gulping – breathes of yearning
Sighing joy, grace stirring the thoughts
So that love brings the heart
A sense of silence’s boasting art,
Whispers of kindness, joy beyond thoughts
Who glimpse a gentleness in the prayer
A living witness to the heart who cares
Racing through the wonders
There are gifts that embrace
The darkness, the clouds, the waiting…
Amazing even the doubts, the fears
With promises, embraces, erasing
Every sadness – all despair
With a wonderous faith, a tear…
Like the tender dewdrop
Falling soft, silencing the night
Erasing the black with reflections
From a heart who remembers
It is God, our King, our life…
Who quiets the screams of anxiety
Removing all the heartbreak, the pain
Replacing it with joy that speaks
In poetry, psalms and wise words
Avoided by demons, but brought to life
By the One who causes hearts to tremble
With pleasure, feelings – appreciation
For all that His heart has weathered
So we can be saved from the torment, the agony
That tortures those who don’t know He IS!...
The Master, the Maker, the Muscle
Behind every success in this life we live
Because His light guides us through the dark
Into the glory of God’s forever – always
Alive – throughout all time – because He forgives
And gives grace to those who believe He IS!!!
The dawn breaks bright, a harmony of gold,
As leaves like painted dancers, light and bold,
Twirl down from branches, crimson, amber, green,
A kaleidoscope of wishes, it would seem.
The wind, a maestro, whispers through the trees,
A melody of magic, soft and sweet,
It sings of wishes, whispered on the breeze,
And dreams that dance with every falling leaf.
A fleeting glimpse of purple, then of blue,
And wishes turn to whispers, soft and new,
A golden sunbeam kisses every hue,
And autumn paints the world, a magical view.
So catch a falling leaf, and hold it tight,
And whisper your own wish, into the morning light.
Of all of Nature's creatures,
One I always have preferred
Is that frenzied and frenetic flyer
Called the hummingbird.
It drops by just sporadically
And flits from flower to flower,
With wings that flap so fast in search
Of nectar to devour.
I always fill my planters with
Bright blossoms blooming red,
'Cause hummingbirds prefer that hue
When looking to be fed.
Yet still, I only catch a glimpse
A few times every season.
They must prefer the solitude
Or have a private reason.
But though they choose to stay away
And only rarely visit,
Those few occasions thus become
More precious and exquisite.
The hummingbird I saw today
Sure vanished mighty quick,
But the smile it left upon my face
Will, much much longer, stick.
An Angel
Lonesome in the black of night, I think of you, an angel,
there in a river of moonlight. Oh, to view an angel!
A cameo against the dark, face seen just in profile,
its texture gossamer; I'd gasp, then pursue an angel.
Would you come If I hung in the balance of life and death?
Come to me like those of whom there are so few, an angel!
I dream of you; a shelter you would be, to take me in.
You alone could lift me, dispel my gloom, you, an angel.
Here I am, mere earth girl, rooted by rationality,
longing for one glimpse of what I never knew - an angel.

It was all black and blue;
Who else, like the fated girl
Could stand the watch?
She had to do it without a fuss
Though it had been part of her day.
Now on the way,
Weary and worn,
She has left and gone
And nothing remains.
I swore since then
If you behold one like her
Or just catch a glimpse of a similar face
Let me know.
For this message I am to deliver;
I was told not to say
This is going on without its end to know.
I should tell of what sweet destiny awaits
In the land of the redeemed
A place for the ransomed
And the nation of the brave.
Worries have nothing to do
With they that hold the promise.
Why be scared as if there was no God
In the whole world to save?
Can I now bear that sight
And try to forget all I had to face?
I wish there could be enough of voices
To whisper this to me
“Be still my heart, the Lord is on thy side”.
What strength to know
What joy to hear!
Day’s labor done and task set aside my eyes are called to the glorious beauties of horizon’s setting sun, while whispers of gentle flowing breeze bring memory of home.....cleansing my soul and signing end to yet another day so far from you. Golden rays stream from heavens above,,, lifting my hopes to that distant place as with eyes closed the brilliant colors of our yesterdays unfold before me.... beckoned by call of this my thirsty soul.
Waves of passion timeless and clear spill through now open gates as heart, mind and soul are swept once more to that place of calm reassurance, rejoicing in the known peace so perfectly centered in the glory of your love.
Though here, I am there, surrounded by treasures mine for the taking, a melody of moments take life, ,,,,hands of the clock stand still,,,,, and I stand- arms empty yet holding firm in loving embrace.
Miles distant and time long past your kisses rained gentle upon these cheeks, cheeks which now burn with the sting of tears shameless flow, falling to the dry dust of this broken land.
Standing on hallowed ground my simple prayer this fleeting shadow of hope might tarry a moment longer in the light.....
,,,,holding,,,, holding tight with all my might to this moment we now share across such cruel distance.... ohhhh more precious than gold these grains which once flowed through the seamless glass of time.
Yes surely such ecstasy shall fade as waters held in open hand, ,,,,still I hold tight that I might take glimpse of you even if it be through the tainted eyes of this mind’s memory.
Ohhhh.....so bitter sweet that I’m allowed here, and there, for surely the painful sting of known return to tomorrow’s struggles awaits......yet still,,,,,still,,,,,, one more breath,, one more kiss,,,,,, one more long embrace ......
Alas I turn and face the truth of many a day to come, thankful and refreshed in the sweet breath just past and the fresh airs of home relived.
BUTTERFLIES
Clouds passing by swiftly.
Like the desert sands,
tiny grains rest in my hand.
Here I lay peaceful on the ground.
My life finally reached its final strand.
Breathing faintly with no sound.
My life slowly slips back into Gods hands.
Counting each beat from my heart.
Leaving behind this shallow land.
Taking a long glimpse of this magical world.
Something came to carry me away.
Without giving me a chance to say goodbye.
This wind gave me a sensation in not wanting to stay.
Gliding away into the blue sky.
Finally I feel this heavy load removed.
I look back and see where my body still lays.
An empty temple, no longer full of grace.
My life in front of me revealed.
Blessed for all those days I would pray.
God protecting me with his shield.
Kept his promise to take me back one day.
Now I am back where I belong.
Pass the horizon of the ocean sky.
Living among the butterflies.
Reunited with my love ones.
Angles flutter into the sky.
When your life on earth is done.
For you I will wait beyond the sun.
Somewhere deep beyond the skies.
Your day soon will come with butterflies.
