Perfection
I say I will not let this world change me,
yet it does anyway.
I claim that I will not water myself down,
yet I am buying new clothes.
I tell people to be themselves,
yet I am too much.
How can I be so hypocritical?
When did I become the worst person on earth?
Someone so horrible that they have to change
everything about themself.
I praise larger bodies,
wondering how they manage to be so comfortable.
I stare at the ground in the bathroom,
not daring to risk a glance at myself.
I see what...
yet it does anyway.

Tied Dyed in Prints
An echo listening to the silence of epiphany
revealing serenity in prints tied dyed green
and wind chimes harmonious melodies whispering
a symphony between soul and man, listening...
If I were a carpenter You were the lady"

Serendipitously
no other time
no other place
falling in love
in outer space
in what is between
where we have been
and where we will be
serendipitously
in the embrace
of each other to face
what is to come
without the Sun
while spinning around
in currents we've found
to a new star,
so very far
beyond all we've known
to a new home
falling in love
rising above
in the embrace
of each other we face
no other time
in no other place....
no other place
falling in love
in outer space
in what is between
where we have been
and where we will be
serendipitously
in the embrace
of each other to face
what is to come
without the Sun
while spinning around
in currents we've found
to a new star,
so very far
beyond all we've known
to a new home
falling in love
rising above
in the embrace
of each other we face
no other time
in no other place....

Earth Navel
Earth Navel
She is the navel of the world
Who imbibes the silent sunshine
Of a golden autumn forest of light
That glimmers in the mirror pools
Of her eyes
That see into the heart of nature
And she grows like the tree rings
Of an ancient oak
That remembers the thirsty years
She is the mystery of Gaia
Whose lungs breathe the aeolian breeze
She drinks the quiet sunlight
Like a maple leaf
Pining for summer
When dusk dreams settle
In the chambers of her soul
Where the bird of paradise slumbers ...
She is the navel of the world

Shh....
He’s what I call my tender poetic sublime, the reason to my rhymes
Mentally captivated and in good taste, he is a gently tease, needed him like a thank you and please
His reply, yes, it’s this Sire’s hard piece of wood, I love on camera when I undress
Just enough to make him wet
Most definitely, he is my best emotion ever felt
I love his smooth talking
I opened the door to my mind, and he makes me blush when I see where the eye of his heart is stalking
Meeting him in the middle, crowning his...

Where selfies go to die.
Pointless bloody selfies, treasures so grand,
A pic of your face or your bum on the sand.
No story, no meaning, no context to frame,
Yet here they exist, for illusory fame.

I can't tell you it's love
You call me
looking for answers
but wanting reassurances
that your heart beats the right way
and that your boyfriend
isn't a manipulative
semi-violent fucktard
unable to manage his insecurities
I tell you our childhoods
make us colourblind
and that for all the good green days
the red shine brighter
than your eyes (and heart)
can see
I would tell you
you're codependent
but you already know that
and it would make me a hypocrite
There are too many reasons
we stay when...

A SINGING HEART
In the ebb and flow of life
love runs hot and cold;
It'll chase you when you're young
and neglect you when you're old.
I do not know WHY
love acts in such mysterious ways.
but it's the challenges you gladly accept
and the price you'll gladly pay.
So do not be upset or surprised
when love starts to do its thing;
treat it like you want to be treated,
and it'll give your heart and new song to sing.
Meet me at the Kissing Place and our
hearts will dance and sing a duet.
