Mother Said

She seeks her enlightenment with hunger like a wolf 
Trapped in a sacred bubble shrinking with licked wounds
Pushing out the people once vital now twice pierced 
With the absence of the presence and the love now just a breadth 

Of the time she spent asking mother am I empty? 
Fill my spirit forthright with the love I thought I dreamt 
For this life is temporary and the time is scarce 
And all I dare to do is take your eyes and gouge 

Trying to remove your truth and glean mine obliged
You will not waver and even blind I feel the warmth 
I will stop you with my fear and my anger and my prompts 
How dare you love me wrongly as we live in different worlds 

Mother do you love me; are you gone and now an angel?
I am never gone my dear though you thought me a monster

Yellow Cat

The yellow cat sits 
Staring at the bird outside 
Contemplating lunch

Dreaming of Witches

The black cat slumbers 
Bathing in the morning sun 
Dreaming of witches

Waiting for Sunshine

The birds stop singing 
huddling under branches 
waiting for sunshine

Edge of Sanity

She skates along the edge of sanity.  
The line between disaster and divine.
Heart now tasting the inhumanity, 
without the lonely sip of the sweet wine. 

Digging whilst drowning the depths of darkness, 
rummaging righteousness religiously.
God bleeding sunshine into her starkness,    
pruning the soul hath lost prodigiously. 

Placing the lotus seed into the earth, 
seed splicing and spiraling down and up. 
She senses the sprouts swaying, giving birth, 
spilling atop the ground below the cup. 

Watering new life, soaking up the ground.
Flower below the earth, above the mound.

Senselessly Seeking

Insatiable shadows 
senselessly seeking 
spiritual sainthood.  
Stealing………. 
shiny symbols 
staged senses
swaggering sanities.
Insurmountable sorrow.

See my Shade

walk 
in light 
see my shade 
dip your toes in
bathe in the beauty of my earthly soul

Wildflowers

Butterflies abound 
Violet hummingbird a-flight 
Wildflowers’ sight

The Key

Heaven and Hell are spaces in our mind 
Precious real estate taking us over 
Seeking consolation never to find 
Through senses deceptively hence smolder

Stagnant in solitude, whisper’s wonder 
Soothing the sixth sense over senseless thought 
Selfishly satisfying we blunder 
Can’t purchase the key God already bought

The stretching gate constant thus not snapping 
Twisting down earth ravenous for relief
Stabbing stars enraging the napping
Lusting on the ever looping belief 

The gate to our hell our mind inside locks
Keys burning our hands as God again knocks

Awakening of a Peach

biting 
into the peach
flesh flailing  
in my mouth
crawling inside
melting meat
swallowing sin
feeling it float 
further down   
pit seeking 
sweet sound
vast vibration 
roots roaring  
up and down 
through the ground 
picking the peach 
squeezing
silky 
sustenance
sinking teeth 
spirit found
