Poet Introduction
I am a raging sea trapped inside a raindrop~
Using Restraint~In memory of Lily Mae
Sitting there watching from your chair
as my body hangs...suspended and waiting
your eyes move over me
like a painter sizing up his canvas
Moving your chair across the concrete floor
you place it below me
your hands press hard into my soft skin
while your tongue tastes the beads of
sweat forming from my struggle
You swing me over your body
spread my legs wide
while your hands explore the
tenderness of my inner thighs
Pulling my legs over your shoulders
I lean back in total surrender
suspended ...

Where you take me~
Where is it that you take my heart on those lemonade days?
To the place where the smell of dirt invades our senses like
earth candy?
Right around the bend of the glistening river, where the grass reaches
for our palms like hungry children?
You take my heart inside every beat of your own...
you see even in our wholeness of self
we are each other's heartbeat, breath and sigh..
I smile thinking of those lemonade days on white linen by the river;
giggling in the high grass like well fed lovers..

Being Led~
I never knew there could be freedom of expression in a way that you have showed me.
You divided practicality from my passion. You allowed me to be loving, and yet you also allowed that fire inside me attached to a hungry temptress to fully let go of the screams festering inside.
The things that I never thought I could do because of morality or from being shy were stripped away by your availability to let me burn. To let me share with you that flame.
There’s nothing wrong with expressing that shadow side as some think of it. You begged me to explode and spray you with my...

Change
Catapulted into the depths of truth
perceptions drowning all
that once existed..now knee deep forming
crystallized vision of what has been into what is
It's here you will find me
in full surrender of self
pouring every ounce of me
upwards to the heavens
as above so below
cleansing all the black velvet
from every layer...every thought
every dead memory
Exposure exists in each breath
feeling release in ways that was
never known to this one soul
this one fallen angel
branded and sealed to death
by...

Destiny awaits You~
Something inside of you connected to the safety of her
loving you as is...tenderly as if you were a wounded dove
You knew nothing different then the gaze of her eyes
the creases in the corner of her mouth when she smiled
The touch of her hair against your fingers
the scent of her skin captivated you...she mesmerized you
Time began to work against you...taking it's toll
the fire faded to coals and coals to ember...ember to sand
Gazing into her eyes in love turned into heated glares
her scent became putrid as she...
loving you as is...tenderly as if you were a wounded dove
You knew nothing different then the gaze of her eyes

Floating bye~
Sometimes the pain resurfaces after we were convinced that there was nothing left to process. I’m swimming in the moment of that loss and grief. The life jacket is tattered and torn and I feel like I’m sinking. It’s then that the dolphin rises. Moves under you just enough to breathe. Just enough to feel the sun kiss the essence of your body. I’m not ready to fully rise but I am grateful to the alchemy of the dolphin willing to support me until my life force is renewed, rebirthed, revitalized. I’m resting here today in the magic refusing to fall🙏🏻🌟

Down the unpaved path~
Years went by while I cascaded through the unknown.
Faking it to make it or to just feel that part of society that was "supposed to be".
Numb yet smiling, steps were taken daily and years went by. The anger faded into regret and the love faded into vacant dreams.
Just then, counting down the days of existence with clouded eyes, heart and soul the sun shined through. Moving the grey aside and showing me a light within that dropped me to my knees.
By giving away my power so many times I simply forgot who I was...who "I am".

Fanning the Flame~
The sun matched the color of her hair
and for a moment he was blinded
Yet all his senses fully aware of her milky white
thighs soft as satin as she mounted his fire
Both inhaled deeply as the beat of the earths
heart pulsed through their veins
Defying all preconceived notions
her water only fueled his flame as they both ignited
Sun drenched hair fell over her breasts
as her blue eyes locked into his
Mesmerized by her gaze he surrendered
his sparks rose from the coals and seared her cries

Gathering Grace
When the tender reappears
after years of scorching pain
a peaceful calm fills the air
I surrendered to the fire
Once…just once
now the scars are being kissed by fate
A fate full of sweet offerings
Standing here now in the delicate
there is only grace flowing through
these veins
…love born from the divine
You don’t need to love me in
my simplicity
Because I do.

Simplicity
There is something that was never told
It’s about a knowing that exists only inside that oh
so dark void within
Words that wind around my throat
choking truth due to your judgement
of me…the bitch with a cold heart
so you say
This “waste” of time never told you that our time
spent together was special to me.
We are and always will be two broken souls,
living and loving from the dark night of the soul
Saying the word love exposes that vulnerable whore
you expect women to be
Sad part is…mine was…is...

Delicate Survival ~
Delicate Survival:
What a perfect stormy day to share a story. During my travels to see my sister and reconnect after the pandemic for the first time I experienced many awakenings. My spirit was thrown into the winds of the ocean and I rode every wave. The emotions, observance and wisdom that came forward weren’t exactly easy to process.
The lessons seemed to anchor around the circle of life. Showing me the delicate, then showing me the opposite as in survival. Some of the lessons were seriously within feet or yards of me. For instance, sitting and having a...
