Ode To Night
We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side.”
-Khalil Gibran
I
Cry with me, sultry night;
pray for the sentient things
crawling ‘neath your sight.
Glow your moon’s pale light.
Illuminate those whom pine for all
to be right and the fields of things
who count not the hours,
but wave in the wind endlessly
and futilely.
Pass me under safe care tonight,
let the voices lead me softly along:
a muted song.
Cry with me, sultry night.
...

Scars tell tales beyond their gasps
or moans or wounds.—cab
the oyster hugs its pearls,
scorched by harsh grains of sand;
the sand, swept by windwhirls,
annihilate the land.
sweet ebon, wear your rings
—no tree as tall and proud!—
where time has grafted strings
to pull you to your cloud.
my children etch birthmarks ...

Your Excuses Are Over
a liquid embrace,
To chase the day away."*
Such significance-
A sacrifice of time-
Of a life ago that's hard to piece together-
It's prolific in,
Who the hell i am-
A culmination of the greatest pain and pleasure-
My own bubble that i had to burst-
Through the grime and the dirt-
To find a way to build my worth-
And fight through the hurt-
A lasting stain upon my page-
A pain i'll take into my grave-
Calmly holding back the rage-
Unnatural and strange-
Could not be saved-
From...

Visions: Into Light
To see is to hear, once heard it speaks;
a flight of fancy to find the meek
ones who hide from eyes that search
may all our foes we besmirch.
Into light we glide upon
wings unfurled; our will is strong
as the tree men rooted by dirt;
as the brethren found on earth.
Magic now, as it would seem
only hears of which we dream;
visions come to grace our eyes
as we look to ancient skies
Everywhere and spread upon
all we seek to emerge before long
To see is to know and learn so well;
Forever yours, PRaladriel...
a flight of fancy to find the meek
ones who hide from eyes that search
may all our foes we besmirch.
Into light we glide upon
wings unfurled; our will is strong
as the tree men rooted by dirt;
as the brethren found on earth.
Magic now, as it would seem
only hears of which we dream;
visions come to grace our eyes
as we look to ancient skies
Everywhere and spread upon
all we seek to emerge before long
To see is to know and learn so well;
Forever yours, PRaladriel...

Girl in the Popsicle Dress
She walked into school by herself today and ran into my arms when I returned. We had a special day together. Her mammy out for the day with her dad. Silly me I forgot the pinic. Well it made a few laughs and chats with the lads (Rainbow Cat, Kitty, Flowery and all the slippers too). Blanket spread in front of the martello tower on Red Island. Watching a family on their kayaks as we ate, snuggled and laughed.
We missed the que for icecream. She pointed to all the candy fairy doors. Strawberry in a cup. Walked slowing on the pier holding her hand tightly. Watching the...

Death after the branches of the World Tree
There are many mystery schools
Love, light, dark, devotion, death
I have seen the death of roses
scattered as they crumble
I have heard the laughter
of the lambs in the skin
of a bear
Seen the purple buddings
of the glowing embers
when in all
given peace dying
has set in
When all old wounds
are embedded in the masses
in the eternal pelvic center
of roots aligned...

When all old wounds

cleansing
I do not need
each word
to be measured
to be weighed
to be seen through a microscope
it is I who choose
what I hold into the light
mediumship
attends
my soul
my mother told me once
there was gypsy blood
in our family
I feel it running
wildly now
Pain does not consume me
for it is a spectrum
of dusk dust
in quantum...

With You
It turns out -
all that has beginning
also has an end,
That its not years - but steps what makes you wise.
But as long -
as we walk forward
together hand in hand,
I worry not if to a cliff - or paradise.
If you went back, then maybe you would find it -
the turn you missed, that'd lead to better life.
But would you want - to even go and try it,
knowing our time may fade along the strife?
If I went back, then maybe I would find it -
the turn I missed, that'd lead to better place.
But...

I Wanna Call You Out!
I wish I could call you out my wondrous Earth child,
Sexy momma too!
You know who you are, boy do I love saying that!
It sounds so naughty when I do.
I'd love to shout about you all day long,
About how you excite me,
And how I almost thrive on the danger you emit.
I can feel your body heat, even from here!
I never quite know what you're thinking, you scare me,
Secretly, I don't think you like that though.
People are less likely to walk all over your emotions,
If they are scared of you.
You keep me on my toes, that's for sure - ...

I GOT YOU NO MATTER WHAT
Through the motions of life changes, happens to us to sometimes to really open up our eyes. To see what is really in front of you but yet, we become systematically intricately woven within, the collaboration of make believe as it is fake love hiding behind a mask. Yet what we fail to truly understand wholeheartedly, to be able to be honest with thyself for confusion is definitely an masterful disillusionment. To blind you from seeing the real person not behind a mask, but yet sometimes we meet someone who hides behind the mask. That hides their true intentions of really being within your...
