POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
New to poetry. Always a writer. Usually holding a guitar when expressing words written.
Forwards and Back again
Deeper through forest grow,
Strongly where storm winds blow,
Unknown, where the path is leading,
Steady, onward with feet bleeding...
Rid the face of stains of tears,
break away, all chains and fears
Upon the back all the years,
Of every soul that met you here,
everyone, ever known,
Every bit ever grown,
Every wind ever blown,
Every drip that's ever dropped,
Every field that's yielded crop,
Scenes keep shifting,
clouds in sky,
Coloring mind
times tics by,
waters below
steal the sand, ...

Just to keep moving
Up in the air again,
Never knowing,
Is the adventure ending,
Or just about to begin,
I keep going,
From here, to there,
back where I came from,
Seems there is just no rest,
But I'm always at my best with
backpack straps around my chest,
And
I'll miss you always and forever,
Silver-lined clouds above the sea,
You are always here with me,
The pace of the day just keeps flowing,
From one interaction to the next,
With a broken heart inside this chest,
Beating with the sound of a busted drum,
In 3/4 time, ...

Shine
Even though we are apart,
You've built a home within my heart,
And on my chest lay your head
To rest
And dream of what we will to create,
Oh I see the shine of the sun light setting in your eyes
Oh in your eyes
And I feel the warmth of your breath upon my lips
And with your hand in my hand
It becomes easier to understand
Just how fleeting
the precious perfection of a moment can be
You've built a home within my heart,
And on my chest lay your head
To rest
And dream of what we will to create,
Oh I see the shine of the sun light setting in your eyes
Oh in your eyes
And I feel the warmth of your breath upon my lips
And with your hand in my hand
It becomes easier to understand
Just how fleeting
the precious perfection of a moment can be

Conditional?
Seeking unconditional love in a world full of conditions will inevitably fail,
Detachment from form is birthed among familiarity, not astrangement.
Only when we allow others into our hearts do we become capable of release.
Compassion and detachment are two lovers holding hands,
Is it love if we seek control over anothers actions? To seek possession of ones sexuality?
I love you if...?
Wanting the best for another is an offer of freedom. If we are not offering freedom, we are not offering love.
Ill be your mirror and you'll be mine

How bout' three
The L.S.D.,
Sounds good to me,
I'll take one hit,
Nah how bout' three,
I'll fill the void,
Through this sensation,
Dream awake,
Hallucinations,
Again connected,
It feels so right,
Let's visit the true true,
Shapes and colors bright,
What goes up,
Must come down,
And once again,
I'm on the ground,
Ten hours later,
What have I learned?
How can we stay high?
Is my only concern.
Through love and laughter,
And meditation maybe,
Please Ram Dass,
Come and...

Buried in the sand
I carried you one mile,
Your little body,
Wrapped in a dirty towel,
Lifeless,
Freshly dead,
Just three hours before,
We danced happy,
As the the sun set,
Colorful,
Drums beating,
My faithful little companion,
We adventured free,
Throughout the islands,
Blissful,
Best Friends
Will this emptiness always remain?

Up to task
I have been selected. I carve my path through these jungles, machete in hand. My tools are sharp. I am up to task.
My feet hit the ground in time, but not as a slave to the clock. I am not Ceasar's servant. I am a tramp with a vagabond heart.
I am transient. I am homefree. I follow the signs in front of me. Never looking behind. I am present. I am now. I let go.
My love is like no other. No one shall define it for me. It is of source. I revel in awe. Free to do what I choose, I now attest for what I do. I will gladly play the roles the gods have given me. I am a participant,...

Sun to Moon
The sunlight pours into moonlight,
dusk is held in the arms of dawn,
Love is the gentle outlaw,
Who slips between bars

Love is the gentle outlaw,

Bare
I bare to you,
This one,
This only,
All that I've become and will ever be,
I shed to you,
this skin so slowly,
Between life and divinity,
Speak honestly,
Empowered woman,
Erotic femininity,
Your love grips and let goes so sweetly,
I hold on tight,
but you...
you grasp so gently,
So open,
So ready,
When you recieve me.
