Pain In Rain

Rain my enemy,
To the universe a friend
I cry with the sky

Shores

Shores

Walking on the shore of loneliness
Comfortable I sink my toes into the sands of life 
And feel its time squeeze through these toes.
Behind me I can see the footprints left
Now a single pair, marking the moist sand midst 
Pieces of polished glass and shells of my pain 
Smoothed by sand’s force to etch the edges’ 
Sharp piercing power.
I look to the future watching
The sun’s warmth dip
Into the sea of gradual darkness.
Then you, a wild wave crashes overhead
Enveloping me in your power
Swirling the sand away beneath me
Sweeping me from my valiant stance
Sucking me under into your passion’s tide.
Picking up long buried sharp shards of brokenness 
You pierce my vulnerability and I wash to the shore
Exposed and panting for air.

Black and White Pages

Bring back those 
    coloring book pages
Where good girls color 
   between the lines.
Simple pictures applying 
    one color at a time
With single dimensions.

Put the artist of my soul
    that has been awakened 
Back to sleep...

Where lines are blurred 
   with color and light.
Broad strokes of ecstasy
Tiny, infinite impressions 
    of gentle hues
Swirl and blend 
    a masterpiece that
Will only be placed on the 
    canvas of my heart.

Starry Starry Night

Starry Starry Night	

It was a crystal clear night when one 
By nocturnal watch lies gazing into the darkness 
The eternal endless expanse brought to life by stellar light.
 Stars so close that one could capture its brilliance 
Reaching, grasping, touching 
Hands extended to keep one forever.   
Through this glorious sea of galactic beauty 
The gazer finds what he is searching for,
The collimation of sight aligning his future   
One distant, tiny twinkle, 
An apparition eclipsed by others, 
Falls through the night into his universe.
He closes his eyes and makes a wish.

Sky Fall

Sky Fall

The sky cries with me today….
I am drowning in Alice’s salty pool 
Feeling far too small in a big world
That has engulfed me with its injustice.

The warmth of my tears
Doesn't temper the windy chill 
That hails across my course
But burns with bitterness.

Let my rain replenish 
With showers of hope
That through this desolate place 
May run a renewing stream.

My Simple Pleasures

My Simple Pleasures

With a sweeping of colors,
 l can imagine places in my mind
And display a world of imagination 
Converted to canvas
With my hand like a wave brushing fantasy into reality.

And as I turn the pages of another author's soul 
I can interchange my world with wonderment 
Of someone else’s hand creating art with words.
And I am lost once again

Listening to the sweet sounds of melody
Waving through the air
Competing with the finches and the mockingjay
Replicating the notes and connecting the lines
Of times gone by.

And I am lost in the sweet sensation of 
Two best friends, Ben and Jerry 
Who entertain my pallette with a 
Fudgy, salty, sweet and creamy delight
That can only be attacked by a spoon
Hopefully in more than one sitting
Unless it has been a bad day
Or it’s raining outside
Or it’s just Tuesday.

And when it's Saturday
I love to stretch out and sit
With my sweet Chubby Hubby
Handing over the remote to his control
And watch an hour or two of someone else’s 
Fictional life unfolding before me
While the room fills with the lingering aroma
Of the tiny kernels in my bowl
That have burst into this addiction
Hot and buttery
And better when shared with my best friend.

Capture

How does one capture a heart?
Is it an instantaneous moment of seizure
Ensnared by a singularly magical minute
A spell cast
In a twinkling of time
With just
One 
Touch?

How does one capture a heart?
Is it trapped in time
By a gentle coaxing, 
A trust
Taking it apart piece by piece
Until it is given away
Without 
Reluctance?

No Longer

NO LONGER

You no longer own me.

I am no longer a slave to your words
that held me shackled 
behind these invisible prison bars. 

I have changed the lock 
to the key you carried for so long,
warden of my emotions.

I am no longer bound 
by your life sentence of unworthiness.

Your gavel of judgement has been silenced. 

I can squint at the light 
flooding my chambers of darkness,
walk the halls of the past 

Past the mental cages. 

To newfound freedom
