Premium MemberI Wandered Weightless as a Feather

after “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth

I wandered weightless as a feather, 
a muted plume from mourning dove. 
A tuft afloat in breezy weather 
connected now to skies above;
as long as winds will carry me 
from over fields and out to sea. 

My glad esprit more free than birds, 
detached from mortal

an echo cannot be captured
    ( because the vibrating sound will softly emerge )
as the melody within begins to build,
         waves become wild 

and while each breath continues to bounce
       between heaven and earth -

Im Weightless With Your Love

You are silently slowly creeping
In my life, your love is seeping
Slowly more and more in me
I'm floating like gravity
I feel free and so weightless
Lifting me up to greatness
The best thing that you gave me
Was something I couldn't see
With closed eyes and a shut heart
I never knew how the best part
Of me was hidden away
Locked up

I want to die in space
Amongst the stars
Floating in an ethereal abyss
I hope I never touch ground again

Premium MemberIf Only I Could Give To You My Best

If only I could give this world my best, 
harbored in this port of call of restless 
desires deep inside a ship in raging foam, 
I’d find a way to make my way back home.

Digging deep into my sleep and slumber, 
never more would I ignore the wonder
of sunrise colors painted on the sky,
or seeing

trying to stay trim
lost little boy
dragging to the gym

going on a limb
can’t find the joy?
make your song a hymn

before your days get dark and grim
lift that weight praising Him

My mind is calm,
flooded with endless moments;
Tasting your float tank
sensory deprivation,
I'm left completely weightless.

WEIGHTLESS

More often than not, you clutch tightly,
The very things that weigh you down;
Beliefs, suppositions, fears and so much doubt,
You line the lie of being emancipated,
When in actual fact, freedom is alien to you.

You define yourself by others' standards, 
Struggle to fit in, when the simple truth is,
Every individual created is a blueprint,
A unique creation, with

Away From Here

Far, far away from here
Desperately I long to be
And without a trace, disappear
Leaving behind the sad and lonely. 
I held you close and dear
Loving you relentlessly
Always wanting you near
Not a step away from me.
I'm sorry you couldn't engineer
My interests, thoughts and personality
And now I'm gripped with this fear
That for you, good enough I'll never be.

Weightless

Can happinness be wrapped in foil
as it a calorific value.
A specific size.
Does it weigh heavy on you.
Does it make your heartache
is it what others perceive
or is it within you .
Is it a number on a scale
the label in a shirt
a tear on your cheek
a reflection in a mirror
a state of mind
be who you are 
not

Weightless, Penniless, Timeless Without Score

Death had spoken thus; I see you still deny,
Abides grim darkness in you, 'til bye the bye,
Weightless, penniless, timeless without score
Last gasp is endless, it echoes no more;
Fields of waving grain, stroke whispering winds
splashing murmurs of why human life ends
As if such sounds could retrieve human life,
And mortal coil could exist

Weightless Tapestry

Theirs is a strange art, the weaving of
 Air and sound into a weightless tapestry
 hanging in the church, a vibrating cloth free
 of sorrows that clothes men with God's love

 Strange, strange is the shuttle of sound that moves
 In and out, out and in around the key
 thread of beats in time, that

Weightless

those beaten eyes glazed with a film

of bitter almond

shakily receiving her post partum reward

of a broken thyroid and a lumpy lack of form

 

once upon a time she lived

a lighter life

‘til procreation drubbed her good

these days she’s flesh in a black bag

of tightly straining clothes

 

mother-love keeps her upright

dead on her feet several months ago

but
