You & I

We

Forward 

In step

3 Legged Race

Against the world

The Mirror in your eyes

Reflect who I give you

You opened my fists

Stretched my arms

To show me what ‘embrace’ means

The warmth of your soul

Radiates in your smile

Which has engraved it's image in the folds of my memory

You challenge who I thought I was 

The conflict you cre...

Beautiful to be fallen in a love with you my beloved

A union two twin flames

theirs
one old soul’s
shared nostalgia

about
our actions, how we react
an intertwined mind
quale, in the way we act
an ordeal with life
born into circumstance

chaotic
the conundrum
all of the elements and alignments required
the complexity of an immaculate conception
the manifestation of a woman and...

In the yard's dust-bowl kingdom, hens

Scratch their ancient rhythms. Until

Blood springs – a single drop

Like a red asterisk in white feathers.

Then something older than bone

Switches on behind her eye. Machinery

Of beak and claw engages, pre-programmed,

As if the first raptor never died.

Her neck snakes forward, hooked weapon

Drilling deep, each strike

A vi...

but each bird also had different reasons why they lived.

One lived a life to soar above, his days spent in the air.

The other lived to gather in and build a stable home.

One was carefree enjoying daily views beyond com...

A LITTLE TIME

Daddy, spend some time with me,

it’s all I really need.

It doesn’t have to be that much,

let’s go do simple things.

Help me remember times back when

I was a little girl,

when you called me your princess doll,

back when you used to twirl

me round and round. You’d tossed me high,

just simply having fun.

So, Daddy let’s ...

I can’t tell which is worse:
a fire or a flood.

at first, there doesn’t seem to be a difference;
you lose everything in both.
when you take a second look, the monster has grown.

the fire is insatiable. 
it devours what’s in sight. 
in the end, you have nothing to come back to. 
it’s not a choice you get to make.

the flood is curious. 
it touches everything within reach.
like a chi...

Memento Mori

Sun shone through the greying lace,

And highlighted her wrinkled face.

Dormant now, no signs of breath,

Not unexpected, a timely death.

Months of pain relieved by time,

Old age being nature’s ultimate crime.

A better place her soul now seeks,

Drying tears nestled on hollowed cheeks.

This disappearing woman faded from sight,

Unnoticed, she left us all...
