Tergiversation
While Faeries watch
from the backs of
their steeds who
emulate our radiant
moon stretches
flitting in and out
of the rite fires…
We are
luminescing
girding one another
Yet
not quite touching
Consistently thin
this love within
my path knows when it’s time
to let go (go it alone)
Often as it is so
I am asked to choose a side
deflecting, I engage
in a **Dance of Avoidance
Healers
are meant to
straddle fences
& live
with a Familiar
or 2...

Chain(ed) Mail
It rained for 2 hours last night.
I was trying to clean my armor;
old mold had taken up residence.
I almost died from mold once,
ingested more than I thought
I could handle.
Unable to evict
I have decided to recycle
I still want to keep my
White Picket Fence
even if I have no one
to share
it with.

Hegiras
Words exchanged
falling dominoes
the sound
crushing
silently sullen
Visibly & hidden
decibels bouncing
from ears to eyes
Egos reign
in this teeter-totter
Push-me-pull
Tears fall
broken hearts
Quiet nights
& a din of
I DID NOTHING !!
Drinking poison
solidly waiting
for……….
** apologies **
They never come & now filled of a dark blue-green ink wither and hitch a ride with autumn leaves,...

Confection Crumbs
Was there an earthquake these past 3 weeks?
I am pretty certain there was not.
Was there a flood or famine or fire?
Hmm, I think I remember arson to a parchment
or two before I left to ground my spirit.
But I am pretty sure there has been NO
earthquake,
So then, why is the (symbolic) Ivory Tower crumbling?
No orts or cookie crumbs to sweep
under the carpet.
Is that the way it
Crumbles?
You need no more Butchers only
Bakers and someone to light the way –
Hmm, perhaps a Candlestick...

Peregrinate
At the edge
You beckoned me
sweetly hugging
in my dreams
& I’m
total surrender
completely remember
my ebony
At our ledge
You cared for me
gently bending
our knees
swinging our limbs
into the breeze
my ebony
At my edge
You beckoned me
gently lovingly
holding me
& I’m
total surrender
always remember
my ebony
Nearly awake
You’re still with me
from afar
close-by in my sleep
mutual love grows
my ebony rose ...

Hurt People, Hurt People
Hurt People hurt
hurting
& often hurt
Hurting People
&
hurt people.
(Hurt people hurt hurting and hurt, Hurt people, hurting, as well)
It’s been said
many times
that we cannot
combat our dark
with more of
… the same.
Likewise,
when we hurt
how then,
can we,
rise at a higher plane
& vibration
If
we hurt
rather than forgive?

Philosophy For Life
When I was like Hippos Go Berserk!
no guide to show me the way
I was the untethered soul
immersed in Zen Meditation.
Though not quite Turning Japanese
decided on A Trip to South America
maybe discover my own
Book of Thorns replacing my youth
& Pocket Pal
with my Pocket Zen.
I did managed to uncover
The Hound of Heaven
amidst Sapiens in the
Southern Hemisphere
guiding me
to a new type of Philosophy For Life.

Coruscation
Freedom is a funny thing
Perspective of eyes
Family lore
History
When a candle flickers
we assume
the light burns
still burns strong
it’s just a light gale
Some tapers
or tea cups
sparkle
for our benefit
public assurances
Sometimes
the flicker
signals
the struggle
keepsake
keeping
the flame
alive
When the fuel
no longer combusts
too painful
to spark
…
it is time
to
twinkle
;;;
no longer ...

Not Fishin’ for Platys or Pus(s)
I know for a fact
Minxie’s cast lines and hooks
I know it’s just that
looking for fish, letters
Books
Of or and about
Her and lines and sinker
catch those effin
Platys no push or fuss
No mammal
no no no pus
or puss like a cute kitten
wet and wanting
crack is the tuna
to sing a meow
& now I am certain
You understand
this
Platypus spill
cryptic and
wish
It was something else!!!
