Irony
Is it possible to move through the ache of a broken heart that has pumped sand for so many years?
Every time I feel a surge of emotion rise I choke it out from so many hateful memories.
I didn’t want to ever be this person. Jaded, angry, bitter. Sad from a place that can’t be pinpointed because it moves swiftly through me hiding in each of my vulnerable spaces.
I can’t hate the man any more than I hate myself. It took two but I so wish I could have made out that price tag.
I teach people every day to love themselves. Ironic isn’t it?
In...

Sense of Being
Shamelessly the moon pierced through
my skin, invading every cell
Stunned, I stand there now lacking in
oxygen from the force penetrating so deep
Did I not heed the advice of the wise ones?
Traveling lately with muted footsteps have
left me with a heavy heart
Seeking solace in the moon…and the moon
pierced me
I was an unwilling bystander
Lessons ensue~

Clearance Shelf~
Your love was cheap~
Like the prize in a Cracker Jack box
highly anticipated but once opened
disappointment ensued.
Massive excuses and the blame game
are the only soul enhancers that enlighten
your facade which cause double vision.
Drifting over and over again into your abyss
left me exhausted for some time like you fed
off of my shine, oh bottom feeder.
Stand inside those many thoughts, many worlds,
lie, cheat and blame and I will be so clear of any
of the feces you flung my way.

Time-
For many, this is the time called Halloween, but it is increasingly being remembered by those with Celtic ancestry as Samhain. It means “summer’s end”, and is the time when the veil between the worlds is at it’s thinnest, a time to remember and call to our ancestors. To ask for their guidance and wisdom. It is a time for ceremony and ritual, and a great time for divination. Peace and blessings to you all 🧙🏻♂️

I am~
I am no ones dirty secret
I’ve been birthed by the same God, Goddess as you.
Standing side by side in the face of scrutiny like so many of our ancestors before us.
I am worthy of admiration and praise for rising from the ashes.
There is no place in my life for people who can’t see that my worth is just as valuable as their own.
I am all things...a survivor of the dark night of the soul and of being the eternal light.
If you can’t recognize me here in this space...be gone.
I am no ones dirty little secret.

When the Voice has Fallen asleep~
There is this memory of you and I; a time when all we did was graced. All that was said was gold and all we felt was the blood of the earth and the sky pumping through our veins
:Simply meant to be
Now the lines are blurred like the ripples in the water. I can't see clearly anymore I can't see the defined lines. I don't know the rules and I'm tired. I want to know your love and I wish that you could want it as much as I do
But the blood of the earth ran dry and the sky is covered in grey.
:Simple rantings of the forlorn

Time Eternal~
There is a constant that runs through my soul
better and clearer than any other dream.
The river; she harbors my wants and desires within
her constant ever-changing being.
Release of all the unhealthy ties that have kept me
bound wash away into the depths, twist and turns
setting me free.
All freedom has a cost. I have paid the price like so many.
Now here on rivers edge in the light of the sun I erase the debt
and feel the hope, joy and love like never before.
Here in this place, I don't beg, borrow or fear. Here in...

Still a liar~
It was no care package.
It was the lies you sent to me.
Poor woe is you and all the people you hurt.
No remorse...no sorrow.
Take what you've dished out.
It was the lies you sent to me.

Musings of the Heart~
An accidental whisper moved through
a soul thought to have been sealed; stone cold.
Yet there it was, alive with a warmth that
engaged; reawakening so many memories.
Laughter was born in those moments with a
gentle grace and ease; while fires burned in whispers.
A heart forever drifting in a space in time when
love existed in the purest form.
Forever grateful to feel that whisper move in,
making the heart of grace beat just one more time.

Memories~
Dandelions in her hair
mists of Avalon dance
within her soul
And for in this moment
this one moment
she believed in love one more time
mists of Avalon dance
within her soul
And for in this moment
this one moment
she believed in love one more time

Good on you Big boy~
Cowering from the dark mist running through your veins
isn’t an option; you see, I’m not third eye blind.
The filth of your soul is on your own hands every time
they hit her skin; inflicting pain feeds you.
A bastard with zero regret and an abundant vocabulary
full of “you made me do it bitch”.
Numb yourself again while sitting in the abyss of
of piss and playing victim.
No one, not one person can save your soul
until you own it.
Life is too short; put your demons to bed boy.

Emancipated Desires~
Together we exhaust each other’s senses
feeding off carnal needs and desires
made sinful by frigid disasters
~Time has nothing on two who have
suffered from a cruel separation
due to fear of crucifixion
~Your taste lingers inside my mouth
while the memory of feeling the beat
of your heart surge through your staff
~Selfish am I too have kissed your entire
body just to inhale every intense release
of your body's purging taste on my buds
~Still it was you
you finally getting what you wanted ...
feeding off carnal needs and desires
made sinful by frigid disasters
~Time has nothing on two who have
suffered from a cruel separation
due to fear of crucifixion
~Your taste lingers inside my mouth
while the memory of feeling the beat
of your heart surge through your staff
~Selfish am I too have kissed your entire
body just to inhale every intense release
of your body's purging taste on my buds
~Still it was you
you finally getting what you wanted ...
