Suddenly feeling the same
As before the shame....

She is so sweet
Her smile so gentle
Her essence scented flowers
Her delights awaken in me
Raging passions of fire
Rekindling old fires in me...

Rekindled, our bond,  
Years lost, now paths interlace,  
Laughter blooms anew,  
Memories, like stars, align,  
Warmth in the cold space between....

Cupids arrow, 
a true delight of all lovers,
Cupids arrow, 
an empty heart it will ignite,
sparking the passion and desire,
rekindling the iciest fire,
Cupids arrow.

It's a lovely day for a walk in the park
Pretend we're starting over to rekindle the spark
It's hard to believe
The changing of the leaves
Winter's around the corner the sky's turning dark...

The light of unending Love
shinning in your eyes
lights up the dark recesses
of my heart and soul

Rekindling the dying embers
of my desire's and once again
bringing life to that which
was dry and thirsty...

red wine, bubbled blood adultered
reflecting, troubled life , cold battered
refreshing, healed licks bold ,scattered
rekindling burned hearts glow again

I’m wed to my Poetry,
betrothed to the fire

Each word an incendiary,
burned to inspire

My voice the rekindling,
fueling the scream

The ashes my trousseau 
—a smoldering dream

A surge of comfort,
Strokes of paint soak lavish skies,
Rekindling dreams.

Restores the soul to
Heavenly places, dazzling
Jewels recap ones heart.

Revealing beauty,
Life’s radiant reminder,
That hope is alive.

Lost and forgotten
Are the patterns of myself,
A self rekindling
Kindled clarity, opening doors,
Doorways facing me.

Found under rocks
Rocking away the illusions,
Illusorily slipped on
Onto the new integrated, I Am ~
Changed and changing me....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the middle of a midnight song,
came the parakeet,
a bird of flame,
a bird of deep indigo's keep.

Into that blessed night,
of its own song it gave,
not born of fright,
nor for mirth or sonnet's might,
but for rekindling heaven's fire....

Clouds disperse in rumbling gloom
feathers swirl their essence in return, spinning
tingling your presence
your thoughts in me respond rekindling the whooshing winds
as grasses refresh massaging
I feel your breath
while I am left scared, blurred,
the resuscitation within my soul continues ……....

Birth of Rekindling



whisper my love of

time like forever



never losing the other

nor chasing after another...



but healing shall come in the rekindling

as we embrace again and then erase



that which we must sail away from

and leave sinking down into the behind

Listen to poem:

Embers of Time


Sweet flickering embers of time
rekindling  morsels of flame
held in the  shivering embrace
of a love that no loving could tame.

The heat and the light slowly blur
the embers of time’s discontent
doused by the salt of lost tears
in shadows flame dancing lament.

Long ago they met
a night filled with sweet romance
igniting two flames
life took them separate ways
fire cooled, dwindled to embers

sparks flew once again
when fate threw them together
rekindling the fire
cherished love led to marriage
twin flames burned: deep in each heart

How dreams of our youth now tiptoe
Alluring endearment memories impart
Enthralled in ardent past still aglow
How dreams of our youth now tiptoe
Rekindling passions thwarted long ago
Enamored in rhythms of your heart
How dreams of our youth now tiptoe
Alluring endearment memories impart

~ 


With embers
rekindling strength upon the wind
her pentacle calls
reaching calm virgin heights of rippling memory
 
Cradling mist of silence
a song, gallant among 
soft trees sway

She wanders woodland the path,
pondering....
twinning facets of blue 
her dance, immerse 
soft dream of winter approach..

In the closing hours of Day, 
       While fools make plans, 
            And others Pray. 
   Thoughts of you tresspass upon, 
        The residue of day since dawn. 
    Flames of loss anew are lit, 
         Rekindling fires of loneliness. 
     Consumes the framework built anew, 
          To force this fool to face the truth, 
     There are No Plans, since I lost you...

Down passion's path we were led
until we could march no more
With appetence robustly fed
exhausted to our core
I lie beside you in love's soft bed
your taste still touching my lips
With love's scent lingering in my head
into the world of dreams, I slip
Until morning’s light, the darkness sheds
your soft skin glows like fire
I kiss you again from toe to head
rekindling our desire...

Ego seeking its self preservation
conjuring illusions bewildering,
gripping therein our fickle attention
in shallow habit patterns spiralling;
the light within dimming and flickering.
Recognising ego borne entrapment,
our former joyous heart, now discontent,
we shift into deep stillness and silence,
rekindling bliss, our native element,
nestled thus in divine entwined parlance.

January, my friend,

I don't want to remember yester
year in hallow of hurt and pain;
it erodes my joy.

Resolutions that I had done before,
have passed unfulfilled
and un-nurtured.

January, my friend,

I want to see optimism glow
once again in me; rekindling a new
fire to change my self for the better.

January, my friend,

Please guide me to happiness
with your invisible crystal ball....

“My mind lies empty in trouble thoughts until ignited by a savored fragrance, or sound, or vision to bring out expressive inspiration.” Quote by poet

Passionate
Merely a whisper
Stroll, drunk through
Entwined scent,
Color, feel, in slumber mind
Rekindling poems.

Quivering
Faint rumbling feelings
Whispering
Ceaseless sounds
As idle time sweeps away
Young romantic skies....

Cause of sorrow, fear of morrow
As ego spawned thoughts we borrow
Thus imprisoned by our own hand
Toxins deep within us burrow

When we so thus do understand 
We’re caught not in a narrow band
Living in the present moment
Consciousness begins to expand 

Negating earth bound attachment 
Throb of love, our sole sentiment 
In stillness slow, we feel soul’s glow
Self-existent, luminescent
