Graceful Galaxy

Graceful Galaxy Like strobing specters she shimmied Gracefully gliding, sharing her shine Heavens light lingering, laughing Star light, star bright Like peaceful poetry she perched Luminescently looming, manifesting mystery Soulful glow searching, waxing, waning Magical Moon, majestic Like fierce fire she flowed Melodically meaningful, showering shadows Bright light, guarding, guiding Sultry Sun, smiling Like a quintessential Queen she quilted Persevering paths by sewing stitches with Stubborn strength and subtle spirit Devine beauty, powerful passion Languishing in the luxuries of her glorious, graceful galaxy

A Frayed Soul Tie

Synchronized spirits sewn together by silver star strings Like tethered twin flame torches touching, tinting Beautifully braided bands of boundless bliss Sensually seducing sacred sunlight, shining Delicately dancing around disguised desire Waxing, waning, wanting, wondering, wandering, withdrawing Lustful luminary lingering, longing, lavishing love Fearing freedom from fervency Soulmates sleeping separately, sadly stifled Why?

Vibrations of Strength

Vibrations of Strength


Vibrations of Strength
Let them pour 

Accept inner wisdom
And achieve me more

Raise me up
Let me shine 

Hold me high
This is my time 

To rise above 
To float on air

My deepest hurts
Please do me spare

Grant me peace
Grant me grace

Please plant a smile 
Upon my face

Sun in the sky
Moon in the night

Grant me strength
To brave the fight

Bring me joy
Bring me love

Bring me strength
To rise above

No wounds will fester 
No pain will kill

I beg of you
Let it be your will

Vibrations of strength
Make me strong

To stand up tall
And sing my song

The Choice

His soul wrestles with release 
Entangled in an invisible web 

Tormenting his dreams
His courage weak with regret

He could not walk away
He could not simply replace

The one he turned from
The one who set him free within her lover's embrace 

Memories casting shadows 
Creating future doubt

Distance does not pause him
He continues to reach out

Like a drowning victim
He reaches for her soul

Trying to paint the shadows
Of what they once did know

The familiarity so comforting
The sex so alive

Will he find courage to reunite
Or will he let it die

A Bullet Dodged Or a Bullet Lodged

Are you a bullet dodged, or a bullet lodged 
Deep within my heart
I feel so alive as you’re killing me
Tingling in the tangles of betrayal
Am I your victim or my own prisoner
Locked, tied and bound
I cannot move on with or without you
Hope and desire wrestles violently with strength and courage
If I cut the tie, will I die or will I fly
Away
