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...

Just thinking
Like warm silk
my lips move along your
lay lines
Awakening a primal fire
and need to drink from the cup
of wanton desires
This scares you because you know
I’ll do all it takes to lick the last seed
inside you...off my lips
You ache for my crazy ways
Admit it.

I died Yesterday~
I died yesterday. The pain was worse than I thought it would be. They say it will be different but it’s not. I’m here to tell you so. The burn pierced through my flesh as the bullet searched for a place to exit. So here I am now, standing on the edge of a cliff with hues of brown and grey. I was expecting more of all of this. No bells, no whistles, no angels or unicorns to soothe the torture I thought I’d left behind.
My escape plan failed. Now what? Ginger clouds on the horizon and not another soul to be found. With a deep breath and sigh, a resignation lands on the half...

Soft sigh~
Delicate waves of memory float through my mind’s eye
hungry for the soft touch, light kiss, the inhale of essence.
Drifting inside the rhythm of shared heat are forever etched in the burn of
the heart. Yet it’s the gentle breath…the eyes staring into mine, the soft sigh
that takes me there.
Paint with me a picture of golden light on fields of tall grass
and dew touching the delicate of our skin…kiss me before it dries.
Still frame these moments for the times you are lost in darkness.
The times that the dark side of the moon...
hungry for the soft touch, light kiss, the inhale of essence.
Drifting inside the rhythm of shared heat are forever etched in the burn of
the heart. Yet it’s the gentle breath…the eyes staring into mine, the soft sigh

Barren Fields~
This place
so untouchable
Hard to explain
something that is rarely seen
Brave souls try to feel it
and die young
Toxic...yet addicting
Many walks have been taken
in this direction...
I stopped before the hell
burned me
Scars from many journey's before
glisten in the light of day, raw, subtle
reminders of.
The tears in my eyes, the gentle kisses
that taste of all things divine, the lingering
slow touch...the inhale of your earthly core.
All these things became the hell of...

Prison break
Spending most of my life seeking the approval
of others has left me empty...void of, on to many
occasions.
Head in the sand and spiritual ass in the sky left me dirty....force fed an illusion of friendship, companionship.
Delicate and broken is now my newly accepted stance in this world.
Maybe I was to raw in a well done society.
Knowing love and hate. Pain and joy. Being the Judge and the damned, . Dark and light.
Just to real for those tripping on their many faces feeding an inner frenzy. And me? I’m laying there like a lizard in the sun.
What...

Love letter To fear
Far to long you have suckled from the vein of my
extreme existence.
Draining vessels of gold while leaving the decay
for the crows.
Climb on and ride the old bones that have
betrayed me...free will some say.
Fear, point blank I have to break up with you. I just don't
get off on getting off anymore.
It's the real things that turn me on...like scent,
passion, fire, water, and sky. And lips, sweet succulent lips.
Bliss fills me up with absent gold and I get high...so goddamn high.
Carry on.

Taste of time~
The car crashed
...the lights made the crackling glass look magical
The blood on my lips
...tasted of you and it was then that I knew
I’d never waste another life moment
... on you and your lies
Instead I’d forever taste the sweetness of my own divinity✨
The magic was tempting but fate jumped in and saved me.
