Poet Introduction
I am a raging sea trapped inside a raindrop~
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...

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...

All those moments ~
Holding your hand while you labored to breathe
I got lost in the lines on your fingertips. I should have cut your nails but now it doesn’t matter does it?
If I could...I would inhale deeply and exhale life force back into your bones and blood...
I don’t have the powers that be, yet my mind
drifts inside your mind and I get a chance to glimpse into your life’s imprint.
Just a moment, a fleck of life in the brief time
we were given...
I honor you, your history, the faith and family...
Forever you will be stamped in the essence of...

Can you?
The blanket of time has been removed
exposing the raw and priceless core
of the exquisite
Shallow breaths intensified the heartbeats
racing beneath the surface
leaving the fire momentarily unattended
Glazed eyes beg, while hands reach out
seeking, asking, pleading for more...
exposure is met with glistening peaks
and wet lips
Can you please... please drive your desires
into the grace being kept just for you?
Honey sweet...
All of your thoughts, all of your wants, mostly
every inch of you needs to...
