Digging deep into my mind
Past the guilt and invisible binds
A soul is stirring so impatiently.
Who is that other person I might find?
I know she’s in there somewhere.
Standing tall and strong
This me scared of my shadow.
While she’s has been there all along
The other me inside is beating.
Beating hard against my chest
I keep her locked away and imprisoned.
Afraid someone will like her best.
For she was wild and frivolous
With no concern who knew
Broken hearts a spinning carousel
As she served a noxious stew.
Yes, I remember her vividly.
Rebellious with defiant eyes
Underneath a web of deceit
To get tangled in her flawless lies.
Discerning and cunning
she’d spit you back in your own face.
Some days played along the dirty game,
ever cautious of the pace.
Her dance was bare and haughty,
her body on constant display
never cared who was watching,
when she came out to play.
Laughter loud and boosting
her smile a clever shine.,
Never to trust her intentions
for she’d cross you every time
Voices sharp and cutting
Musical notes that produced no sound
Her world was vast and open,
bur feet never got off the ground.
She is the person I once was,
and sometimes I still wish to be.
its best she stays locked away.
Buried deep the broken key.
I’d still like to pick out parts of her,
but cautious of what I would share.
Piece us together internally
For we’d make a perfect pair
Nonetheless my fierce warrior
Reining resilient and supreme
Running restless and heroic
as I see her in my dreams.
Flipping through the errors of life
Correcting every mistake
A different existence without fault
In the decisions that I now make.
These days I sit behind a desk.
Shrinking more and more each day
Discontented but surrendered.
For this is the price I now must pay.
Every misdeed has a consequence,
and consequences hold a return.
Flashing shadows of yesterdays
In the lessons you must learn.
Like paths never meant to cross, we meet as strangers
Like twilight vanishing in minutes, we linger in each other's minds
Like seasons destined to repeat, we hope to meet again
Like those lines that touch but once, we strike in the quietest ways
Stealing glances through the crowd, acting worlds apart
staying calm amidst the chaos, to steady the other's heart
More tangled than a friendship, yet it claims no certain name
perhaps it's only in the mind, where silent truths remain
Like candles flickering out, this could end at any moment
Like winds that build into a storm, our passion takes its turn
Like letters sent but returned, bearing no reply,
Like voids only we heal, these attachments never leave our side!
I came across an old cemetery today while exploring,
Full of broken, toppled headstones and tangled weeds;
There was a deep hush, a whisper and a sigh, I felt tears,
My tears were falling for long dead souls forgotten.
A tree's roots are entwined around an old, tilted stone,
In loving memory of my husband George, born Feb, 1882;
Oh, George you were loved very much once upon a time,
God took him, but he will not be forgotten, engraved.
And I am of the age of Aquarius too, just like you,
I love violets and everything purple, and I am so mellow;
Oh, George were you a deep thinker, sensitive, creative,
I get hurt easily and I always want to help people.
Be at peace George in your decay and ravaged grave,
Listen to the twittering of birds this bright sunny day;
Promise, promise, I will be back to lay some purple violets,
Forever now, dear soul, you will dwell in my heart.
Now, be still George, I heard your whisper . . .

Silent mundane tranquil life takes a sudden lurch.
In fervidness of Big Bang, fiery whirlwind takes birth.
Like an untamed wild deer, two souls are set on fire
In cold callous chaotic world, love tips over, lights a chandelier.
As effervescence entice blood in champagne, inhibitions sink.....
He is so irresistible, blissful, charming, safe...
She is so soft, beautiful, electric, stunning....
A plethora of adoring, love tips over profound reverence.
A constant thirst kindles the thrilling hangover
The hunger is so strong to indulge in each other.
Infected in disquietude of his air, she destroys feminine silence,
Two hearts in jukebox, love tips over esthetic resonance.
Amorousness of desire bathed pure in veneration,
No longer ashamed in vehemence of embraces.
A perpetual panorama, every minute of every day...
A restless wave tips over, touches the shore to say.....
................"I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU".............
Two stars in the night sky disappear together....
May symphony of lights play, in their tangled path forever.

Within my breast a promise of earth splendor
Jovial sapphire lake sheer blackness cliffs
Kempt, sights amid whispers Spirit renders
Lithe shadows of spike pines manifest quiffs
Meek pink aurora waning like a thief
Neighboring Big Dippers pouring , springs scars
Operatic skies speckled stars relief
Picturesque Moon rises as well as Mars
Quelled waft and sounds blows through the hours of night
Reflective flow of spring beside banks ends
Sacred of God's earth splendor faintly light
Thrilling sublime sights and whispers descends
Unhurried choices amongst no worries
Venturesome challenges though tangled miles
Whimsical splendor rich untold journeys
Xanthous uniform through seasonal smiles

Note; Crater Lake National Park’s Oregon
The lawyer is calling
Or the Hawk is coming
But the rockets land the same
In Sunset Town,
They all go to ground
Maybe back from where they came
The rodents and rocks
The zombies in socks
The big gala at the earth's core
I don’t wanna travel
And I don’t want no babble
Can’t take the pressure no more
‘Cause here we are livin’ in Sunset Town
The great coup de grace for the West
Let’s stay up ‘til nine with our moonshine and vines
Gettin’ tangled in the dreams we loved best
When the big missile launch
Rears its head around dawn,
You won’t find me in no basement;
I’ll be out in the reeds
With my riotous deeds
No remorse and no replacement
We all gonna party
With Thomases Hardy and Pynchon —
It’s gonna be grand
And when the Good Lord Jesus
Both blesses and sneezes,
The Seventh Lamb will fire the band
‘Cause here we are livin’ in Sunset Town
The great coup de grace for the West
Let’s stay up ‘til nine with our moonshine and vines
Gettin’ tangled in the dreams we loved best
Now there’s no desecratin’
Or deprecatin’
When Satan’s got his people to serve
Let’s go riding with sin
Since we’re all wired in
To that unified bundle of nerves
Yes here we are livin’ in Sunset Town
The great coup de grace for the West
Let’s stay up ‘til nine with our moonshine and vines
Gettin’ tangled in the dreams we loved best
I travel in time twenty-five years
And see my lover in the passenger seat
Shifting currents gliding us toward
The tangled fates that we must meet
So many reasons why to go
But I can't see beyond these walls of stone
The oceans between us only grow
And who we are truly can't be known
You hold out a tattered glove
And remember the coming winter chill
I scratch out your name on the wall
And meekly accept my morning pill
I will send you a thought like a butterfly
That at least we're both still alive
You will chase it away with a whispering hand
The very moment it does arrive

For "Rock 'n Roll Rhyme Fest" poetry contest
i g n o r a n c e~
is a rhyme without soul
an art of f a d i n g into oblivion...
like crestfallen tulips
twirling through tethered rays
in the midst of seething sighs...
and I am more than the
blazing thorn
of a phoenix rose moon,
infused in scarlet elixirs
of a sorcerous twilight,
weaving l o v e
in golden glows
amidst double-flamed scales
burning my velvety h e a r t...
pondering, would you
be the galactic gardener
that waters
my weathered spirit
when I am but
a mere memento~
tangled in
vindictive vines of vanity,
for I have a voice
I sing in garnet grace...
if tomorrow
you feel my heartbeat
between vintage verses
of a scentless sonnet
long forgotten, and e r a s e d
remember,
I am the silk and sage
and the untamable
silhouette
of a balmy blossom
that refuses to breathe
in the ossuary
of perished petals,
and wrinkled dreams,
ostracized by
chauvinistic thistles
and unpolished ink
pricking the soft stems
facing cyclones of greed
c i r c l i n g
in sheer arrogance....
tonight I trace the hyacinth heat
of unwavering zest,
drawing sanguine
smoke of love
with winged gossamer
tied to the redolent roots
of unblemished skylines
while crocheting
petrichor promises
unto the backbone of
a nocturnal garden,
where handmade
wreaths of hope and faith
feel softer than lunar light~
as this heart resembles
a maternal bouquet
of burgundy b l i s s ...
a woman who heeds not
misogynistic mantras ...
I love nature at dawn in the forest tangled
where birds sing sweet rhapsodies unseen
and how leaves drip, drip with rainwater
oh, the wild horses are running and leaping,
down forest paths and faded meadows
stopping at a forest stream for a drink
I am in awe with all the beauty that is mine
that inspires my poetic pen to dream
among hues of orange, yellow and gold

I. Birth
From unknown depths, I'm tenderly born,
Seeking truths unshown, my quest begins,
In dreams, I embrace life's tangled sin,
A soul's journey, as time is torn.
II. Love's Embrace
In love's solace, we find our respite,
Hearts entwined, conquering mountains steep,
A haven built where souls forever keep,
Embracing love's seasons, day and night.
III. Echoes of Pain
Within these veins, echoes of my plight,
Scars and lessons, strength I attain,
Mending pieces, healing others' pain,
Resilience burning, love's eternal light.
IV. Dreams Unveiled
In dreams, my spirit takes ethereal flight,
Beyond mortal confines, truth's grand design,
A glimpse of stars in darkness they align,
In dream's elixir, eternal delight.
V. Time's Surrender
In time's embrace, peace finds its place,
Moments pass, heartbeats draw me near,
Surrendering, joy's essence is clear,
A fragile tapestry, life's eternal grace.
VI. Wisdom's Well
From life's wellspring, wisdom's grace flows,
Lessons learned, guiding my inner guide,
Strength to face challenges, not hide,
Growing wiser, a journey that bestows.
VII. Serenade of Silence
In silence's embrace, reprieve unfolds,
A sanctuary for my weary soul,
Whispers of the universe, stories untold,
Stillness reveals truths yet untold.
VIII. Timeless Legacy
As time's symphony nears its finale,
I stand, fate's precipice at my feet,
A life's legacy, love's eternal beat,
Imprinted on hearts, forever rally.
