Nearing the end
Will I see the light?
If so, I hope it ain't bright
Curtains will soon close

God's Workmen
I am not a religious person
Nor do I claim to be a Christian
But I believe the world is run
On spiritual principles and therefore
By choice I am a spiritual individual
It's my belief that we were put on this Earth
To not only love each other but to
Help each other when we are able and
Therefore, that makes us God's Workmen
Ever ready to serve our fellow man
One might ask if that means
We're supposed to help everybody
But we know that would be impossible
I always help those who want my help
Whenever...

Laden, Lay Down To Die
confession number one I am afraid of being alone in this world adrift
my mind plays mean tricks on me
it makes up alternate realities when people are cruel
or when things get too rough and I break
never to trust it to protect
the first breakdown I had was when I was a little girl
pretending Mommy hadn't left me again
my abandonment issues are all too apparent
my weaknesses lay bare
the wolves smell blood on the air
and they approach
the one I'm married to only eats my heart out
leaving me to die a little...

WHY I WORSHIP YOU
To me worship includes
adoration, honor, reverence,
awe, valuing, above all else,
declaration of worth and
love beyond the highest meaning.
Why do I worship YOU?
It's not because of your beauty
because you are breathtaking.
It's not because of your intellect
and membership in Mensa.
Why do I worship YOU?
It's not because of your passion
that is off the scale.
It's not because of your sense
of humor which is amazing.
Why do I worship YOU?
It's not because of your wealth
which is in seven figures.

The Tide
Oceanic lust for the tides
That pull me deep into you
Gazing into your indigo eyes
I’m spellbound and imbued
Setting aside all of my pride
Grateful for the view
You are my tour guide
Through the deep seas blue
Arms opening toward the sky
Seeking the hidden truths
Blinded by divine light
I am healed and renewed
As though this is some great design
A spiritual path to pursue
I open my eyes wide
To witness all shades and hues
That pull me deep into you
Gazing into your indigo eyes
I’m spellbound and imbued
Setting aside all of my pride
Grateful for the view
You are my tour guide
Through the deep seas blue
Arms opening toward the sky
Seeking the hidden truths
Blinded by divine light
I am healed and renewed
As though this is some great design
A spiritual path to pursue
I open my eyes wide
To witness all shades and hues

Fastball - My Spiritual Awakening through Baseball
I can hit the fastball
But I really want to hit the slider
Same thing in writing verse
The erotic comes easy
but my own core emotions
always leave me wanting more
fom myself
So, no erotic poems this morning
Going back to the basics
My need to write
I hope you will let me in
Even though I have been hard on you
I'm not a bad guy
And I don't spit too much
When I'm at the plate
But I really want to hit the slider
Same thing in writing verse
The erotic comes easy
but my own core emotions
always leave me wanting more
fom myself
So, no erotic poems this morning
Going back to the basics
My need to write
I hope you will let me in
Even though I have been hard on you
I'm not a bad guy
And I don't spit too much
When I'm at the plate

keeper of shattered dreams
if you listen closely on a starless night
when chalked silhouettes caress forest floors
drifting listlessly
hopes without form
you can hear her liquid lamentations
murmur softly across gentle winds
as foxes burrow in restless slumber within their hollow dens
and screech owls raise glimmering eyes to ebon expanse
wings tucked tight against feathered sides
talons dug firmly into ancient bark
silent in their reverence
honoring her eternal sorrow
draped with shimmering silver broken dreams
she shelters the fallen within her bosom ...

I FOUND SOMEONE
Who is S/He that loves me so?
Who treats me just right
Some people really wanna know.
How did we find one another?
Just how did it come to be
That I have found Someone
Who loves me unconditionally.
I truly never thought would arrive
That I'd find this Special Someone
But, S/He came into my life.
A person who was truly unknown
S/He told me stories, their strife.
And began loving me true
I in turn grew to like them too.
We became friends from the start
And as we grew closer and...

Stoned reality of soul
John Lennon –
“A dream you dream
Alone, is only a dream.
A dream you dream
Together is reality”
``~~..~~``
I dig this man.
And this is reality, very true,
if your harmony is as one,
You can shut the outside world out,
and make your own private world together...
And that is reality
```~~~.~~~```
In a stoned reality of soul,
You had found me;
And pulled me onto our own wavelength of soul,
And Lord knows;
How it is that you stoned me
...

For the Golden Dusts in the Valley of Nysa

Joro
I held roses
for the dying heart
a bruise emblem sleeve to footwear
O Wizened Entity, placed in greatness long may those eyes protect,
bless and save thee.
Gatekeepers watch, awaiting those that book passage
into hidden garden grove
thy wooden wise one we place our faith to Your protection
hearth of spirit, looking glass divine
we Your children,dress Your spritely visage
emblazoned emblem, totem to All Faith
She The Goddess praised within place ...
