POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Earth Keeper
Your sacred gifts
Come alive in musty mist
Deep in a dark cave below
Your light all aglow
Dripping walls, the smells of rust
You turn on in the night
Within this the womb of the earth
You turn on your blue light
As you understand the darkness well
Black seas of black winding trails
Your an elastic bridge, an earth and sky axis
You skillfully illuminate
Flowing blue rays
Out of warm hands
Plusating love into the lands
Come alive in musty mist
Deep in a dark cave below
Your light all aglow
Dripping walls, the smells of rust
You turn on in the night
Within this the womb of the earth
You turn on your blue light
As you understand the darkness well
Black seas of black winding trails
Your an elastic bridge, an earth and sky axis
You skillfully illuminate
Flowing blue rays
Out of warm hands
Plusating love into the lands

Take turns.
Let me be the forgiving colors of fall
Grieving wide in the open
Let me be me or not at all
Wet the coastline roams hoping
Misty eyed like the colors of calm
In the sky, dripping white mountains float
Purple, green, gray in matrimony
Sway a sweet pea such as me
Hearing each sound bring its harmony
Instantly obedient they come to me
Sensing them in the blue wanting of a waterfall,
Within the falling scattering...
Grieving wide in the open
Let me be me or not at all
Wet the coastline roams hoping
Misty eyed like the colors of calm

Purple, green, gray in matrimony
Sway a sweet pea such as me
Hearing each sound bring its harmony
Instantly obedient they come to me
Sensing them in the blue wanting of a waterfall,

Daisy.
Clear as day
Daisy, cant you stay?
Sitting by the riverside
White yellow bright
Cradled with life
Embrace soft the sun
Glisten golden love
Flows as one between
Shores of rivers green
A dream, believe- believe- believe
Sweet as the day
Daisy along a bank of clay
Small seeds tumble fast
Wind like ecstacy
Meeting you at last
In the center life shines
Rest beneath all times
All gives way...

Messages of summer solstice
allowing everything to come
together on it's own
there's nothing left to do
except acceptance.
melt into what you already know
(We are everything)
a bird turns to a flower, a bee is a tree
insects are bringers of peace.
everything that presents itself in a moment is a choice for peace.

Redwood tree
You, a redwood tree
And I, cascading wild vine
Climbing up luxuriant, your spine
Raise a coiled snake
Flayling leaves, dance awake
Corybantic in the sky
Feeling every embrace
Sun kissed her empty space
Gooey melting inside
Hung on to the creaking branches of arms
Swaying honey hive swarms
Deep inside buried life is born
Roots kissed against her earth
Look to see to
Come back to
Come back to life
Back to you...
And I, cascading wild vine
Climbing up luxuriant, your spine
Raise a coiled snake
Flayling leaves, dance awake
Corybantic in the sky
Feeling every embrace
Sun kissed her empty space
Gooey melting inside
Hung on to the creaking branches of arms
Swaying honey hive swarms
Deep inside buried life is born
Roots kissed against her earth
Look to see to
Come back to
Come back to life
Back to you...

Letters to the Death Bringer,
Ripen the golden seals to see her better
When the rain drops whip an iron anchor painted with pain and nevers-
The letter blended together without
A sake nor shred of sweetness-
Nowadays you just face it
with Or without
Crushed or open hearts
open arms and doors to the surface
Or just below it. Dreams
You awaken within some shy strokes
Making questions quantum tinged notes-
O green apple, O forbidden grape.
Feel great
The words without...

Unlayering
No" can be yet another portal
To the Divine
Holding up 2 fingers
Like a peace sign
An offer of acceptance
An ask of consent
Peace be my heart
To be your heart too
Because I love you
The you that you are
For now & for all nows
The crossroads all end up
Leading to home
Wherever you are
A home home home
Lay down your sword
Whatever you think you are
A dream, a feeling, a wish, a-
A home

Masculine
He reminds me of ritual
Every breath is sacred, individual
He teaches me about ceremony
Hearts in union, movement in harmony
He shows me intentional actions
Love that has no transactions
He holds space for me
Opens up portals of destiny
He keeps the even pace
Makes the strongest feel safe
He is the builder of many things, of dreams
Powerful, his voice is the trees, is the streams
Him, a hunter, and warrior
Him, a king, and protector
He is the strength in vulnerability
He is stability in action
He is Divine...

Butterfly net
Catching my thoughts
Gently in a butterfly net
Slowly and delicately observering
Whatever comes up next
What deepens my understanding
Of what is darkness, what is pain
Sensing what feels light and tame
Holding it all the same-
Gently in my heating hands
Softly in my firery gaze
Lovingly and so brave
Setting free all that has ever came
Releasing all of my false fears
Crying all real tears
In spirit and in action
Ascending and descending
A spiral staircase

God's Jeans
I am sad.
I dont know Who to be today.
I broke all my promises to myself about "trying" and "letting go" and "being happy and healing."
I want to escape but its fucking pointless.
I feel hopeless.
I see how in the past Ive thrown all my power away.
I didn't even know what it was.
Didn't even.
That is how I got hurt in the first place.
But I am still Innocent.
I am still Forgiven.
Its just that I am also-
A lost and afraid little girl who doesn't believe anyone could ever- ...

My poem to the Wind
Sometimes on the wind
There is laughter
Hysterical, the wind carries
Cries of weeping pain
Rain, chattering the thickness of the leaves
The wind scattering dusty old dreams
Blowing away the thoughts that talk
And talk endlessly
Because the wind is wild,
More than any wild thing
Maniac wind, swell and sing
Bellowing out intergalactic drumming
The Universal heart pumping
Dancing, brushing skin with softness
Beckoning branches...

Lifetimes later...
Lifetimes later...
I am stuck in time on my knees
On the carpet of the living room floor
Just begging,
Crying for someone to love me
To feed me safety
And trust me.
Just for someone to see me
The way I was meant to be seen
Like the stars,
But more like the galaxy,
Or the Earth, the sea.
The ending and beginning of creation.
The infinite Universe.
The Universe just begging you to stay.
The Universe is not sure anymore...
Who it is
Searching life after life
For it ...
