ALLOWING ME TO SHINE
 
Free Image Hosting
The slightest irritation
can aggravate my life,
bringing cause for anger
resentments, pain and strife. Pondering occasions
on how they do unfold,
it’s not the mass vibrations
but more or less the load. Please tell me how an oyster
made of shell and slime,
can produce a product
with beauty for all time. Now if this mere crustacean
can handle bits of sand,
as easily as waiting
and making it so grand. So it is my own actions
of me looking aimlessly,
thru the grains and sands of time
preventing me to see. That it’s pearls of wisdom
that I should string in-line,
reflecting all their brilliance
allowing me to shine.

MY DREAMLAND
Beyond these walls
there's a place away from the screams,
in my own world
my land of dreams.... Where shouts turn to birdsong
and cries turn to laughs,
when happiness is sunshine
banishing the dark. Where fights are with pillows
and tears are of joy,
where there is silence
never any noise. Where anger is unknown
and hate is love,
where lies are clouds
kept high above. Where peace is mine
mine and yours,
echoing instead of
the banging of doors. Beyond these walls
there's a place where things are what they seem,
in my own world
my land of dreams....

LONGING FOR OUR MOMENT
 
Free Image Hosting
I am just longing for one moment,
one moment with your arms encircling me
one moment of comfort, of peace,
one moment to be safe, whole, loved.
Just hold me and let me cry.
I don’t need to be saved.
I don’t need to be fixed.
I just need you to love me,
without question, without fear, without limit.
Let yourself go, let your guard down,
reach for me and let love overtake you.
Let your heart fill as the tears spill down your face.
Kiss me with those tears still upon your lips,
for if you come to know this love,
you shall never live in a moment of doubt,
never needing to turn, to look and see if I am there,
but simply reach out your hand and know,
that I shall hold it in mine.
You shall no longer walk alone,
nor sleep reaching out into the empty night.
We shall fill our sky with stars,
with dreams of our own making.

WINGLESS DOVE
 
Free Image Hosting
Can the sun rise for even a while,
in this dusk laden heart of mine?
Can the trumpets break the silence,
and for once, lull me into a peaceful trance? I am waiting for the beckon of dawn,
never knew I'd be in this midst all along.
Half of me lives, saved by love.
Half of me withers, a wingless dove. How can a soul be in two places?
Such a melodramatic phase of time.
When I say I want it here,
my feet inevitably takes me there... For until when, I ask,
that my shadow won't mock at me,
my reflection won't deny me,
and my spirit won't ever leave me? I am torn. I am scarred.
I cannot hold dear the very thing I love.
A fountain of youth all consumed up.. by my thirsty mouth, why can't I drink from it's golden cup?

RESTLESSY.. ON A FLOOR OF PETALS
 
Free Image Hosting
She dissolves herself in petals,
in sweetness, when the fragrance of the past hides deeply in her tired heart.
She encounters her desire and pain and thinks of him again and again. She melts in poems, in words written in the air. She looks for herself and she is there in that old photo fading away,
in words she won’t be able to say.
She dissolves her lust in petals and scatters then on the floor. They are her secret, the one she always wants to discover and adore. All of a sudden, she gets so silent, she looks around, she's so alone… she cries…she weeps.. on a floor of petals restlessy she sleeps..

MOVED BY BUTTERFLY WINGS
 
Free Image Hosting
I knew the fullness of day to be a mystery,
without hesitation, I folded my heart away,
preferring to draw on lined paper
and store away the fantasy of flying.
Holding my breath, confining myself
in white and blue landscapes inside,
there was never a voice to change the mind's shadow.
Then, I realized the windows were propped up
from a late night wandering around my room,
wishing for a break to stale dreams.
Moving closer to that one window,
sliding across shelves and piles of books,
I saw the brilliance I had feared for years
that sunlight, a beam able to warm your flesh.
This time, when I let my cheek graze the screen,
I didn't hear the restless chirps and belches
of insects, nature's most worrying characters.
Instead, a warm but open breeze beckoned,
and I knew my moment had come
to experience the rush of love rising,
around a world moved by butterfly's wing.

HEART OF MINE
 
Free Image Hosting
Though broken and scared it belongs to me,
this beautiful heart that I've been given.
with jagged edges it holds no less love,
tested, as to the edge it's driven. I've thrown my heart into this life I live,
in every deed and every word.
I will not lock it up inside myself,
to be kept safe, no, it's voice must be heard. Trusting myself to believe it's words are true,
I shall follow humbly where it may lead.
though I may falter, I have no regrets.
though you may find fault, the choice is up to me. Battered and bruised, this heart holds so much pain,
but it holds an equal amount of joy,
all that's truly given is never lost,
all that stands in love can not be destroyed. With a full heart, I have much more peace of mind.
I've given all that I have to give,
I have stood always true to myself,
and I have so much more life left to live.

SUNSET'S GRANDEUR
 
Free Image Hosting
Summer sunsets are so poetic.
west horizon clothe in majesty
with ever changing colors,
as warmth melts the cold
crimson, blue or gold.
No matter what the hue
with serenity of heart
or even with stubborn passion within
we seek the grandeur of light
slowly fading out of sight
Each one takes the favorite view
with love ones or the chosen few
where the sun rays cast its last adieu!

GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS
 
Free Image Hosting
Going through the motions
facing another day
try to do the next right thing
let chips fall where they may Trying to fight the discontent
wanting to keep a positive view
focusing on the good things I have
isn’t always easy to do Sometimes there is such a void
a hole that seems to grow
a darkening of my heart and soul
try not to let the shadow show It’s when these times are troubling
when all the thoughts are dark
that’s when I need to work my hardest
try to leave a positive mark What we do when times are tough
when things don’t go our way
define us as the person
we have grown to become today Often it’s progress in baby steps
sometimes it's life takes a giant leap
focusing on the next right thing
keeps expectations from getting too steep
