Poet Introduction I'm in love with the sun, moon and stars...and have kissed them all with my heart
The life You stole~
Master Weaver of Lies
There are times I wonder about how you just moved on…you made it look simple.
Drop the axe on the cord and severe it with no looking back. So absorbed in yourself indulgent and very self-inflicted pain that you never looked at the devastation that you brought into my world. How did I deserve that?
You presented yourself as a victim of love and broken promises, and yet it was just a blueprint of lies used to lure in the sad and vulnerable.
Laughter echo's inside my mind at times. The first phone call, with you talking like Pee Wee...

Feast or Famine
Abandonment
…who makes that first move? when is the line crossed between feast and famine?
Sitting alone in the magic of my creation…my sanctuary… I feel the love and the presence of those that have touched my heart. It used to comfort me. Holding me with energetic imprints of a time once treasured. Holding it against that eternal essence of who I AM.
What is it really all for? Loss stacks up, and a fire in me rises to meet it yet all that does is make me feel split within myself. I am the fire and ice, I am soft and jaded, I am a human in conflict with...

Cherish~
Thimbleberry wine on lips
made divine by sweeping tongue
she glides inside your deepest thoughts
awakening in you a belief that it’s all possible
...her magic tastes like sunshine
An ache so inexplainable fills the well
of souls, forgotten long ago
decrepit screams are replaced by soulful moans
For lifetimes you have waited to taste the cherish
of her soul, rolling essence of; inside a parched mouth
succulence now moistens the very hunger you once felt
Nothing can be the same again...

Etched Simplicity~
Lemon honey in tea, with a swirl of cream. Inhale the morning.
Cats are lying in the beams of light that shine through
the old farmhouse glass. Being the Queens that they are.
In the distance smoke from the neighbor’s chimney rises through the woods
and fades like a sweet dance.
In this peace filled space of mine I wonder.
Wonder where you are, what you are doing, if you
ever feel my true heart from here to there?
The heart where countless of hours were spent in your arms
laughing like children experiencing the innocent, the new.

Purple Tears~
The formation of clouds in the distance place melancholy in my heart
as I watch it wickedly dance between beautiful hues of black and purple
it is all things majestic
Feeling fear I still cant look away it has mesmerized me
its taking me deep into my soul allowing me to feel love from this time
and so many others...time spent embracing the souls purpose as it moves closer
The feeling of the thunder rumbling permeated through my feet
vibrating up my body, making me shiver in remembrance of the power

Where the demons Dwell~
Saints bow to the hell that rides inside her veins
sinking teeth deep within white weak flesh
licking the coma from lifeless blank eyes
Dying to consume the succulent
his cock gets hard...while balls fill
with ache and memory
Sip from the lava of Kali
wet your mouth while drinking her in
and you will never thirst again
All she wants is for you to spread her legs
force her hips up and thrust hard into her secrets
fisted hair in hand while the smell of blood and sweat fills the air
Wet nipples...
sinking teeth deep within white weak flesh
licking the coma from lifeless blank eyes
Dying to consume the succulent
his cock gets hard...while balls fill
with ache and memory
Sip from the lava of Kali
wet your mouth while drinking her in
and you will never thirst again
All she wants is for you to spread her legs
force her hips up and thrust hard into her secrets
fisted hair in hand while the smell of blood and sweat fills the air
Wet nipples...

Somethings in the Air tonight~
Somethings in the air tonight
hungry hands grasp for it only
to watch it as it eludes every grip
Electric smoke dances around me
rising like Kundalini
until it lands on my full wet lips
On instinct an inhale takes it deep
pulling it into every heart beat
every pulsing cell
Aware of the rapture being born
within me I let control slip away
while it touches me where butterflies take flight
Spirits combine becoming one
while touch engages my body
in a ancient rhythmic rise and fall
Scent...

Shields of Gold~
When love masks sorrow
peace survives on lips of gold
Pools of surrender swim in my eyes
Sorrow never knew the beauty it held inside its own divinity
while sounds of chains dragging behind feet torn and battered still motion forward
Spores of gold spatter over my face on inhale as I breathe the you into me...the dusting of your Lily
Foraging through crevices of lingering thoughts I emerge triumphant by just knowing you and your love
Unified like webbed twigs we have known the exquisite...the divine
Along with the madness...

Exquisite Surrender~
There is a sacred space where the fear based world
doesn't exist
A place where doubt doesn't rule our immobile selves
leaving us comatose
Day to day we ache for righteousness and fairness
yet the birthing place of that is within not out
Chemicals burn our beauty leaving behind
pitted flesh and scared souls
Empowerment has been lost
to the easy road of escapism
The battle of beauty and beast lives inside us all
the journey is ours to navigate
Today I choose to embrace my exquisite surrender
...

Revelations~
It’s here that I lay to rest
bones lying against mountain terrains
subtle layers of healing happening as the wind
rain, sun and moon caress my very being.
Vulnerability is lost now, against your anger
and self-inflicted pain…your owner ship is still
lacking yet my personal yield tells me different.
It’s peaceful here, a place to rest among the
the trees, the peaks and valleys.
My chest taking shallow breaths with the rhythm
of the earth.
In the darkness where you dwell just know one thing.
I am not forgiving when...

Flame~ Co-write with Beginning Poet
Her gentle windswept blonde hair
played around her shoulders,
her eyes watched as if they held
all her secrets, a faint smile teasing
with waiting passion.
It was like watching fire and water
dancing with each other, the purity
flirting with the flame, the flame
rising from the rooted earth, bonding
each breath to the rise and fall of
her breast.
I watch, waiting to hear those silent
words lingering like a secluded chance,
her flames burn me hotter than I can
dream, that urge, that need, desires
waiting to...
