A beautiful gift
You came to me
Like the mist after
A summer rain
An impossible dream
Meant for someone
Other than me
You breathed life
Into this shadow of a man
Who was drowning
In life's pain
You gave me reason
Gave me meaning
Gave me purpose
Gave me cleansing
Now I can't wait
To see the sun rise
I was fading
But you heard my cries
Now everyday is
A beautiful gift from you
When you're by my side
Life is something I can't refuse
Like the mist after
A summer rain
An impossible dream
Meant for someone
Other than me
You breathed life
Into this shadow of a man
Who was drowning
In life's pain
You gave me reason
Gave me meaning
Gave me purpose
Gave me cleansing
Now I can't wait
To see the sun rise
I was fading
But you heard my cries
Now everyday is
A beautiful gift from you
When you're by my side
Life is something I can't refuse

Contently We Lay
lay your head upon my heart
with each breath feel my emotion
of being luved by you
excitement thumping wildly
as your head rises upon pulsing breasts
your heated sigh scolds my skin
face pressing harder against sweating flesh
my moans become more rapid
feel you sinking into me
intensely you listen
to my whispering heart
rhythmically beating your name
motionlessly in each other's arms we lay
only sound is our shallow sighs
contently you rest your head upon my pillowed heart
...
with each breath feel my emotion

intensely you listen

Eternal passages
If there is a world full of wonder, I am ready to see it,
And if the sky is full of thunder, will let that lightening hit me
So when my fire-burnt soul turns to ashes
Will touch the ground
Then my life and love, on a tree leave
Will give them sound
As the wind and Earth go round and around
And if the sky is full of thunder, will let that lightening hit me
So when my fire-burnt soul turns to ashes
Will touch the ground
Then my life and love, on a tree leave
Will give them sound
As the wind and Earth go round and around

Missing Link
a hundred trillion molecules
a hundred thousand thoughts
a hundred friends we've yet to meet -
digital ones and noughts
in cables when vibrating
in minds as they receive
electric currents flowing -
we see what we believe...
invisible to our senses
things we do not know
manifesting all around -
as one we're in the flow
possibilities creating
ideas which coalesce -
letting go of everything
becoming more not less...
ten trillion kilometres
a light year, so it seems
to get from here...

Lightened
The gentle rain
washes clean
the unshorn cloak
hidden and seen
of stained impurities
weighing down
with tangled moss
unruly grown
enveloping
the torch of light
the blazing hope
in darkest night
untended tends
to leave a dearth
and frailties
find a fertile ground
kindness showered
by the rain
lifts us from
our poverty
replenishing ...

Collapsed star heart.
Participant in the network.
Broken node perhaps.
Dark crystal vibration.
Space is a cold place.
Vacuum absorption clock.
Coordinates unknown.
Levity in the necessity.
Rituals of the everyday.
Machine work tremendous.
Void follows void cycle.
Purity turns to crystal.
Production takes place.
Centralized symbiote emote.
Wondrous and wonder.
Ongoing in unraveling.

Hither and Thither
around and around and around the Sun
not Jupiter, Earth, not anyone -
the barycentre is the place,
around it unseen is where we all race
on and on and on until death
embraces us with our very last breath
in the spaces through which we are flying
twisting and turning as we are dying
electrons in currents flow in between
hither and thither in what we dream
as egos form to then disappear
re-emerging, it's as if we're
puffy white clouds on warm summer days
each personality merely a haze
of who we thought we...

Open Ended Smile
Thoughts may elude.
They never die.
Every little thing ever done.
Sometimes they hide.
But look on the bright side.
All the good
All the bad
Which is worse?
One never outweighs the other unless in mass principle.
The good in portion should cover life.
Charity being one great deed among many.
Sharing light
Sharing life
Being someones hope and saviour.
Leaving bad back in the shadows.
The day sometimes bright
Sometimes shaded in clouds
Raining even
Behind it all is life
Keep it as a...

Bold
1:39 am
How many years did it take for you to be bold?
Too many times did you fold
Molded thyself; wiped the dirt off my shoulder
Got colder but warmer all at once
Drunk off faith and peace of mind
No man can block my shine
Brighter than a mag light in the face
Draped in grace
Remember when you used to fold
Broke that mold; reinvented and reimagined
Manifesting and staying in my magic
Tragic
People tried to stop that
Black is the color they don’t like
Brown is the skin they resent
Be Black

Is Misnomer, A Female Gnome?
What is a jacket potato
Without a jacket?
Or a pea
Without a pod?
Or a cow, without an udder
It's a bull you silly sod!
Or milk without
A milk float
Or tiddlies
Without a wink
Or a candle
Without a wick
Or two short planks
That aren't particularly thick!
Is misnomer
A female gnome
And why can't guinea pigs
Neither grunt, nor fly?
And how can there be
Elephants in a room
Without an elephant in sight
And never seen a bull in a china shop
Or a dead Dodo, goodnight!

Your Touch
Smoldering embers
Stoked to blazing, white coals
Warmth coating my skin
Becoming an inferno in my soul
Stoked to blazing, white coals
Warmth coating my skin
Becoming an inferno in my soul
