Poet Introduction
Proprio Vos Sanguine Pasco
Thanks-For-Giving
Just as Love
existed within Spirit
before the body was real;
and as Spirit
existed within Source
before the womb became;
and as Source
existed within nothing
before anything. . .
there has never been a time
when you did not exist
within me
during which we dreamed
this lifetime into reality

For J, my Thanksgiving blessing

Wishtending
New moon in Scorpio
our deep togetherness
tasting Universal silence
Wishtending upon Stars
fusing wishes and intention
into a receptive Cosmos:
a cocktail readily accepted
more than either by itself;
a nightcap of faith-borne
Belief transmitting dreams
~
For J, my Love 💜
and inspiration💫
. . . always

Nonetheless
There are hours I feel
I don't deserve you
When wavering trust
threatens to collapse
our safe house
I am the adopted stray
remembering abuse
in moments of loud noise
or unkind words
amid the world
I emotionally kick
claw an escape route
withdraw into solitude
where I can't be hurt
Yet, You stand unmoved
accept me with bleeding hands
wrap me in grace
when I emerge
Love me nonetheless
~

Sacred Contracts XXXVII: Happiness
It mattered not
that no one stood
upon my doorstep;
solitude was good
golden beautiful
I was Mistress
of my own Universe
My garden burgeoned
animals plundered
at my earthen fingertips
regardless whether ( or not )
the entry bell chimed
When I heard footsteps
on the porch after lifetimes
of imposters
I keyed the lock...
that no one stood
upon my doorstep;
solitude was good
golden beautiful
I was Mistress
of my own Universe
My garden burgeoned
animals plundered
at my earthen fingertips
regardless whether ( or not )
the entry bell chimed
When I heard footsteps
on the porch after lifetimes
of imposters

Sacred Contracts XXXVI: Giving
The Universe spins Us
favorably from yesterday
to a future of modern Poetry
Discarding end-stopped lines
opening higher harmonics to
an anatomy of free-versed bone
We've trod syntactical fragments
maneuvering impossibile nouns
Resisted extraneous adjectives
draining strength from sounds
We look beyond glass houses ...

Covenant
Some people are circular
arcs of reflection;
meteorological phenomenons
refracting, dispersing droplets
above deserts despite drought
trees burning in autumn
notwithstanding death
a spring sheath
thawing silver ice
the eighth wonder
of a genuine Soul
Loyalty personified;
Their multicolored spectrum
an Air Castle Covenant
amid somber clouds
threatening destruction

Bareback
Love doesn't burgeon
amid placid earth
from contented
circumstance
It's a combat Veteran
warring cowardice;
a skilled Survivor
of bloody chaos
Wild Horses
ridden bareback

and Teacher 💜

Until
My dreams seemed
to be nightly routine
But, one morning
I awakened;
You were real
We swarmed skies
our vibration rising
above walls and things
that could harm Us
Escaping the isolated
slaughter of loneliness
to create absolutes
despite circumstance
Drifting the distance
of a trillion stars
without giving up
until manifesting
Our Universe
~

Ribbed Music of Bone ( Villanelle )
Centuries manifesting Sound
Charting trajectories in blood
'twixt ribbed music of bone
Through generations thereof
themed variations of chord
Centuries manifesting Sound
Resonate vibrations of note
intervals reverberating thirds
'twixt ribbed music of bone
Defining the rise of scale
double bass through treble clef
Centuries manifesting Sound
Melodic intervals in tone
Adagios restful and slow
'twixt ribbed music of bone
Vessels creating their song ...

Sacred Contracts XXXV: Contrast.1
There comes a point
in a relationship
you realize separation
isn't an option;
You lose the fear
of honest expression
on a firm foundation
vs quicksand of a bottom-dweller's falsehood . . .
somewhat to the other
but, mostly themselves
Yet, necessary is contrast
to recognize Truth
in the Sacred Contract of Love
such as I have with You.

Meteorite
I hadn't seen one in years
slicing Libra's new moon darkness
to reveal Scorpio's light
I'd always wished for peace
Universal happiness, Love
some altruistic gift
for the world
Not this time;
this time
I straddled the flame
rode bareback
until we both burnt out
this time I Believed
in a miracle
