night

i dreamt of the night

its’ shadow cloaking my vision

but heightening sight

i feel all around me

whispering secrets unheard by light

hyper sensitivity awakens the images

that eyes cannot see

expanding the mind

to a new reality

Strangers…

will you know me when next we meet

will you look me in the eye and pass me by

will you remember any of the moments

the heated conversations

that started, ended and changed our view

we talked and talked

and then we had nothing to say

how strange that we ended things that way…

Childhood

that freedom of childhood, it escapes in laughter…

UGLY

Phony people, everywhere

Next door, supermarket

Fake smile, a nod

How are you…who f’cking cares

Nastiness in the streets

Angry views

Violence and abuse

Chaos on the news

Left, right…all wrong

Rinse, repeat

Rights and reason

Lost in the wash

Pressure cooker, high treason

Lies, lies and lies

Conspiracies

An epidemic of madness

Isolation, seperation

Climate change, disaster looming

Fires, floods and historical droughts

Faminine

GREED

And the “deniers”

Delusional reality

Abnormality

Banning books, the Bible! WTF!

Restrictions on voting and my body!

All this insanity

Barren wasteland of morality

Loss of humanity

 

LOVE

Love

Since the beginning of time
Stories are recorded
Wars waged
Hearts broken 
Have you tasted it
With your eyes
On your lips
It’s bittersweet fragrance 
Captures your attention 
It’s addictive 
You can’t get enough 
Your consumed with greed
Drives you wild with need
It colors your vision
With fantasies
Drifting in a cloudy haze
Lost in pleasurable extremes
It’s touch burns your mind
Your lost in physical pain
It’s power can heal 
Fight when all hope is lost
It will
Drown you in passion
Torture you with lonely nights
Fill your mind with jealous rage 
Will you give in to its hunger
Can you take the pleasure
Endure the madness
It’s power can destroy
Fill an empty void
How far will you go
Are you willing to die
Over and over
To feel alive

Freedom

Close your eyes and release your fears
Allow the happiness of dreams to flow into reality
And watch the net of the unattainable fall away
With every breath exhaling inhibitions
Spread your wings
Enjoying the freedom of magic 
It tickles your senses
And the childish laughter escapes, sprinkling the air with joy

Us

Candy apples
Babies breath
Warm embraces and smiling faces
The comfort of you
Is the easiness of living
Confident in you, is confidence of me
The love of home, is us
Welcoming and warm

YOU

Amidst all the broken pieces…there’s YOU

Rhythm of Love

I’m surrounded by your presence
I feel you like a whisper in my mind
Touching and awakening every nerve
Like a tender kiss
Caressing
Recapturing every memory
In the maze of time
It hurts to breathe
So I let the rhythm of love
Ground me
As I
Hold you a little longer
Love you a little harder
And capture every breath
Your love breathes into me
Until I’m strong enough to breathe on my own

Mother

Change (Happy Mother’s Day)

I wake to the quiet
Of an empty house
It’s been that way since they left
One by one
To follow their dreams
Making mistakes
Taking chances
And heartbreaks
Off to spread their wings
Far from home
To seek adventures
Experience new things
It wasn’t easy to let go
Their independence
Hard
Hard to give
Because mothering
Mothering is how I live
Giving
Protecting
And guiding
It was an adjustment
Watching them bloom
I thought I’d lost my identity
Within the silence
But as their stories are told
Crisp with ripeness
Maturity unfolds
I see their confidence
It’s what I’ve bred
From healing wounds
To tucking them in bed
And now I can do it all again
With the patience of age
I’ll guide the grandkids
Through every stage
They’ll fill the silence
With their smiles
We’ll make new stories
Hold hands
And chase dreams
In their eyes
My kids I’ll see
It couldn’t get any better
Us
Growing older together
