Her Inner Beauty

As the days grow shorter.
A cold wind whispers to the trees.
And the leaves begin their journey.
Carried in the winds of Autumn.
Into the rivers and streams.
Some will travel far into the oceans of our world.
A few will be chosen.
Directed by whispers in winds of Autumn.
Into the lakes and ponds where the Lotus lives.
Where they settle into the cool dank bottom.
As the years pass they form the rich mud. 
From which the Lotus or her cousin the Lilly live.
Only there in dankest mud will she live.
For she makes her home in places no other flowers will grow.
Here she will grow to be one of the rarest and most revered.
For her unique beauty.
One petal at a time will open over the course of days.
In the still water were little else will grow.
She will slowly reveal her inner beauty.
Then ebb back into the cool dank water.
From which she emerged and the mud were she lives.
Only in the latter days of Spring when the first warm breeze.
Send ripples across the pond whispering to the then warming mud.
That she will awaken and rise to the reveal her inner beauty.

Her Icy Scent

her icy scent

our voices crossed
as the sixth moon
waned

uniting old souls
like friends from
the past

our dreams began
on a mid summer
night

for she is a 
spirit of the night

as she rides her
stallion in the pale
moonlight

amidst the waves
splashing along the
shores

for she and Brat 
born to be one

her people still
run with the wolf

bound to the pack
born to be one

soar with the
eagle traversing
the heavens

long before the
coming of the 
horse

on moonless night
with Star’s for light

she rides like 
the wind

high amongst the
mountain trails

my spirit of the night
will come to me

at the chilling hour
my covers are warm

she will lay her 
head upon my chest

her lips like ice
her body near froze

she will snuggle
in close

our hearts will 
beat as one

till her lips 
be warm

her icy scent
lingering

through dawn

A Horse At Full Run

a horse at full run

from the moment 
we met

from the choice 
of her words

I knew of her
passion

I knew of her 
song

I knew when she
came into my 
dreams

I knew of the 
depth of the
of the love 
that she held

As I listened
to a melody
of a horse
at full run

As I heard each
breath both hers
and her Brat’s

I breathed in
the aroma of 
both her 
and her Brat’s

I felt each beat of 
their magnificent 
hearts 

As he pounded 
the earth with 
his idling hoof

The smell of dried 
earth and that 
of his sweat

She calmed her
great child
with a song
and a pat

We rode until 
dawn to a 
melody of 
a horse at full run

Tears of the Father

a daughter of Heaven
from the beginning
of time was loved
by the Father
 
now Lucifer desired
the daughter of Heaven
 
whose love of the Father
revealed the darkness
of his soul
 
from that darkness grew
the revenge of hate
 
as he glimpsed the love
in her eyes for the
creation in His image
 
from the heavens he
plotted the fall of man
 
and watched as the
daughter of  Heaven
 
fell into the arms
of  a son of the earth
 
In the wafting hours
before dawn as the
cold of dark descends
upon the earth
 
the time for forbidden
lovers to meet in
a hidden glen
 
as the son of the earth
would drift  into the
slumber of bliss
the daughter of Heaven
 
as the first rays of
sunlight would
break in the dawn
 
she would
take flight in the
form of a swan
 
transforming in the 
misting  ray’s of the
early dawn to the
daughter of heaven
 
afar from the eyes
of sons of the earth
 
the disciples of Lucifer
grew bold in their lust
for the daughters of man
 
and taught the forbidden arts
to the sons of the earth and
with the use of the bow
 
the screams of a
shattered heart echoed
into the hollowed
pillars of Heaven
 
and the tears
of the Father
covered the Earth

A Thousand Times Over

from a challenge on A Poet's Haven
Saturday Night Romance
"Her soul trembled on her lips like a drop of dew on a flower."
- Les Miserables, Victor Hugo

She had away about her
She was born with a gift
And oh could she use it
She commanded attention
Everyone took notice
She was made from Stardust
In a perfect combination
We met before Terra was born
And each time we met again
Her lips will quiver as they have
A thousand times over
When the morning is young
The curtains will be drawn
The doors will be locked
Her mask will come off
Her eyes will water
As the memories flow
And the joy of a love
That can not be ended
As Stars have imploded
And still our love lives
Death has come 
A thousand times over
And still her lips quiver
When our eyes cross
The way it did
That very first time
And so it shall
As our souls have 
Crossed and shall
Again and again
The love we share
Has sustained us
A thousand times over

Our Souls Forever Joined

My eyes followed a vision
That led me to a glenn
Deep within the 
Scottish Highlands
As I walked amidst
Wild Heather and 
Tall grass
I heard the familiar 
sound of Brat
Standing there
Bowing his head
Up and down
As I approached
I caught a glimpse
Of you in full dance
As you touched
First heel and then toe
As you spun in harmony 
To the song in your heart
Your voice carrying 
across the glenn
In the ancient tongue
Of your Clan
I stood in silence
Brat at my side
Watching the
Beauty of your
Form in dance
I fell in love
With you again that moment
As I have so many times
As we embraced
And kissed amidst
The I love you’s
As we layed
Within each other's arms
And shared our dream
And the love we made
Forever embellished
Within my heart
Our Souls forever joined

A Grain of Stardust

from a photo challenge in A Poet's Haven
Out there amidst the glowing stars
She lived a thousand, thousand times
Holds onto memories from each one
She has loved the same man
In each one as their love 
Has never ended and she searches
For him now out there amidst
The glowing stars is the one
She has loved a million times
And here amidst are humble Terra
There are but a few who
Understand the conciseness of a single
Grain of Stardust let alone all 
The memories contained within each one

Warmth Inside of Me

As I sat propped in bed 
with a cup in hand enjoying 
the warmth of my coffee
When I closed my eyes my 
thoughts turned to you
The warmth of your smile 
as it always makes me smile
The warmth of your voice 
as you say I love you
The warmth of your kiss 
for it is filled with passion
The warmth of your body 
as we lay together be it in 
slumber or amidst the twisting sheets
The mere thought of you 
always brings a smile
You and your wildflowers 
You are my scent of Spring
You are the warmth inside of me

Poisons of Man

I woke to the sound
of tears echoing
form a downspout
Heard the sobbing 
whispering between 
the leaves
As I listened in 
the stillness 
I heard moans
coming from the earth
I walked around 
my so called garden 
with cup in hand 
my toes all wet
From tears of the Angels 
who shed their tears 
in joy and anguish
The trees were alive 
in the deafening sound 
of Bees at work
As the shadows 
inger in the 
dim daylight
The morning air growing sultry 
from the lingering embrace 
of morning light and late darkness 
in their eternal love affair
Slowly at first the leaves 
begin to move shaking 
of the Angels tears 
as the still cool 
morning breeze 
begins to rise
Shortly the passion 
of a lover's breath 
will carry through 
the day as the 
warmth of Summer 
will kiss my skin
While within the 
lingering shadows 
the cooling caresses 
fade and my beautiful 
Terra cries out in 
almost silence from 
the poisons of man

Dancing With My Soul

" dancing with my soul "
Through an open window, I heard 
a rhythmic flow at first it seemed 
to be the wind as it if it were singing 
a whistling tempo of mesmerizing comfort 
I laid there listening as if it were but a dream 
until I heard a voice matching the rhythmic flow 
in harmonic sounds as opposed to words 
Intrigued by my curiosity at first I sat up in bed 
and listened rubbed the sleep from my eyes 
Convinced that it was not a dream 
I stepped towards the open window 
and in the early morning light 
I witness the sounds in motion as 
a vision of beauty danced on the edge 
of the glenn amidst the morning mist 
the grace and beauty of her motion 
creating the rhythmic flow of sounds 
and when she opened her mouth 
as if to sing in place of words
Came a harmonic tempo a melody of 
notes of such beauty reaching the 
depths of my soul compelling 
my heart to sing my body to swirl 
As the rhythmic flow brought serenity 
to every fiber of my beating heart 
matching the vision of beauty 
now dancing with my soul
