We are born aware of our soul’s treasure.
We know we are from spirit sourced designs
and graced with faith traits far beyond measure.
These truths grow loose when spirit earth aligns.
As earth life feeds us human emotions,
we drift from truth and our hearts refashion.
Days of human ways grow false held notions.
God nudges us to reclaim His passion.
When a child, God tingle-touches our skin.
We feel otherness seeking us aware
with love seeped passions that ignite within.
We cannot name it but thrill to its flair.
Time bends us to lend us a spirit mend
for it’s when pained that we seek beyond sight.
When we strive for a spiritual blend,
it is in quiet we find truth’s bright might.
Sweet sounds softly
You make me want to sing
Sweet sounds
move me
I wanna do my thing
I gotta hankering for you
Bliss tingle, teasing, caressing
Scriptures, best set aside
Rapture continuum pleasing
Since God resides inside
Barriers self-imposed
Let all fears be disposed
That soul grows unopposed
Love jingle
Bliss tingle

Quietus
Blissful tingle, burrowing deep within
Heightened bliss ecstasy ineffable
Renewal thus, in continuation
We so become, a living miracle
No theory; what we feel, factual
Seeping in bones and each pore of our skin
Purring bliss ignites our central funnel
Blissful tingle, burrowing deep within
Divine touch marks our initiation
Transcendental pulse, inimitable
Within cave of our heart, divine union
Heightened bliss ecstasy ineffable
The caress divine, is a tease playful
Bliss in permanence, the benediction
Magnetic heat rise within gradual
Renewal thus, in continuation
Our journey begins, upon cessation
Stance firmly erect, yet amiable
Choosing the path of purification
We so become, a living miracle
Oh hermit, why make complex, the simple
Resting thought, flowing in resonation
We attain a joy, that has no label
Moment to moment, thus gaining traction
Blissful tingle

When thoughts of you Soup ladies fill my brain
I tingle and twitch and forget my name
See what you do
You darlings you
You fillies are sweeter than a cup of aspartame
so soft
to the touch
her skin
fairly melts...
tingle
fingertips
tingle...
gently probe
inward
pledging
fealty
Unsullied by clouds
a freshness in the air
As the sun breaks through
happy faces share
That exhilarating tingle
when Winter loosens its grip
When Spring's promise infuses
every pair of lovestruck lips
The forecast may yet again
call for snow, but for now
breathe deeply of
the Sunshine's bright glow
Tingle
Melodies ~ ringing on soft cool winds,
dangling from tiny strings in metallic forms
Swaying in harmony with your smile
reflecting the mid day sun
in glimmering highlights of whipped cream whispers
on wings of stained glass dreams
For it was that day you kissed me,
for the very first time ~
(When buttercups blushed as I held them to your chin)
and my lips tingled, unending,
understanding this was more than just a touching of skin,
a melted meeting of two
~Music called to us from the branches above,
serenading our hearts in sweet blissful sounds
on soft grasses, fingers intertwined~
Your eyes, hypnotized me there, in that place
and you kissed me again…this one held
Passion breathing, love had found me
coiled about me and clung to me
On that day, unlike any other
I could imagine…I fell for you
Now as cool winds blow
and leaves cascade in multicolored waves
That wind chime, suspended from that old maple rings,
singing sweetly of that first kiss,
a musical remembrance of that day
of which no reminder is needed ~ for my lips they still tingle

Tingle bells tingles bells
What fun we had today
Mistletoe and chocolate shells
Kissing all the way
O what fun it was
In an no horse open sleigh
Laughing all the way
Tingle bells tingle bells
Having so much fun
More toys of joys
Got Santa on the run
Tingle bells tingle bells
O what fun we had today
Play play play play play
Ho ho ho ho ho
Tingle bells tingle bells
Tingling all the way
Toys we had out to play
I don’t know what to say
Tingle bells tingle bells
Off to bed we go
Santa’s coming in the snow
We’ll have such a good time
He’s all mine
When thoughts of you Soup ladies fill my brain
I tingle and twitch and forget my name
See what you do
You darlings you
You fillies are sweeter than a cup of aspertame

the tingle you felt on your lips
one last small reminder
a connection that is always there
the rest that you shed blindly
always that same chemistry
you the match held to my flame
igniting things in both of us
with neither you nor I to blame
I can't promise to hold it in
like a desert fire it will blaze
always a spark to be rekindled, and not
extinguished by monsoon rain
