The city noises clang
in my ears leaving me wanting
for the babble of a brook
the whisper of leaves
In a srpingtime breeze
The sound of medowlarks
The poetry of soft lowing cows
I want to hear the Sonnet of the Earth
from start to finish
The laughter of your heart
as we taste the evening air
The morning stanza as the sun bursts forth
No more car horn haiku
Give me wolf song ballads
I want to hear a Poem
spoken by the day

In a nest
On a limb
Within
The branches
of the Tree of Life

A child sleeps
Comforted
by the whispers
She hears
Drifting
on the Wind

A smile plays
On her
Angel's lips
As she dreams
The world
To life

Warmed
By the breath
Of the wondrous
Mother of all
The child
Sleeps In beauty
Unadorned

I see you shining
behind the tattered clouds
I hear your song
calling to me
from the heavens
With this moon song
I am unafraid
And I feel strong
I will hold my head up
accept all challenges
Because the goddess
Is watching over me
And I hear her song
and I am unafraid
I feel strong
Under your shining light
I will take flight
And soar the heavens
Listening to your Moon song.

Barely existing
in any world
Real or unreal
Here or there
And yet

I feel your touch
I feel your need
I need your touch
I need to feel

The shards
Of your broken soul
As you pierce mine
As you pierce me
As you take me
Into your existance

I feel your touch
I feel your need
I need your touch
I need to feel

You

claim me
Shatter my humanity
Make me like you
liken me to you
Remove my layers
Let me be
Broken with you

I feel your touch
I feel your need
I need your touch
I need to feel

You

Slender fingers
Tender lips
Stroke my strings
Let me slip
Into your dreams
I'll capture
Your imagination
With kisses
Heavenly sinful
And touch you
In places where
Lust simmers
Under the surface
Waiting to be awakened
By my charms
When Dawn breaks open
eager flower petals
with the promise of the sun
I'll fade from your arms
and become a scent
upon your lips
A thought
vagrant
then gone

Faster Than Fire
Your touch spreads
Through my soul
Faster than fire
I fear it
I crave it
I am obsessed with it
I look for your look
Knowing what will come next
And when it does
I scream inside
while begging for more
I bleed a little faster
From the wounds
I adorn myself with
Through your wild fire touch

Jingle Bell Rock
Out in the troll fields
Where trolls mine for dinner
Among the granite
Boulders
There's a legend told
Of a rock that sounds
exactly like a bell
And brings the lucky troll
Wisdom and enlightenment
When crunched on
I'm not sure any have found one
I haven't yet met a troll
But when I do
I'll be sure
to ask them
Wouldn't you?

After spending hours cleaning up this site, I had to block comments from being posted here. This saddens me because I should not have had to resort to such drastic measures. This site got hit by spam in the comments area. I don't know too much about how that works, except that I had to take each one of them, and I'm talking well over one hundred, and delete it individually. Not a fun thing to do.
If you wish to make a real comment, please feel free to email me at

Thanks for looking!

Closed Eyes Melody
She's walking
Down the grubby street
A lovely smile on her lips
Her eyes seem to be closed
as she drifts to her secret melody
~
The garbage of the city
are her stepping stones
The broken curbs her throne
She's a queen who's lost her castle
The alleys her new home
~
A paper robe
Covers her slender shoulders
She dances unknowing
That she's ravaged by her plight
Perhaps it is our knowing
That misses her delight

The Wisdom of the Ages
I am a tiny speck
barely a mote
in a stream of specks
of unimaginable numbers
I do not pretend
To be wise
I do not wish to own
More than my share
of The Wisdom of the ages
Let wise men sit at their tables
And debate their weighty matters
Let the important learn
The importance of themselves
Allow this tiny creature
Her small place
Among the multitudes
Allow this unworthy child
The sight to see a need
Give me the grace
to give all I can
Then to give a little more
And I will not ask to be counted
Only to be remembered kindly
by those I have touched

Embrace of Night Terrors
The calm of slumber
is Shattered with no warning
as Night terrors
Embrace me with their cold
Steel arms
Squeezing screams from my
dream ravaged throat
slicing into my sleep numbed
Psychi
I thrash against a brick wall
cracking my Skull
Shattering my Tomorrows
Slumping over wasted
back to sleep

Aftertaste

Chocolate mousse on your breath
When you kiss me
Sends delightful shivers
To my brain
~
I would like to sip
Maple syrup
From your fingers
And share the aftertaste
In another kiss
Just to drive myself
Insane
~
And when you leave
The aftertaste of your coffee
Lingers long after
The door closes
I wait to brush my teeth
To ease the pain
~
The thought of you
Lies in the back
Of my mind
While I'm in class
Like the aftertaste
Of a sweet crisp wine
I smell you
In the rain

A Recipe for Love

Two parts trust
Give and get
A Friendship built with care
Long term commitment
Mixed with long nights cuddling
Talking and laughing
Crying over sappy movies
Together
Aching when you are apart
As if you really are a part
Feeling complete together
Is my recipe for love.

Seems Colder Now

With half the bed empty
and your spot on the couch
Left like a shrine
It seems colder now
Without your purrs to calm me
without your voice in the morning
without your games
Played even when you were old
It seems colder now
Turkey dinners seem boring
Other cats not quite pretty enough
Life seems a little more empty
Seems colder now
Summer has become winter
Spring faded away
Autumn's vibrant colors
dimmed
Seems colder now
I almost got a kitten
A puppy made me smile
Though I'll never replace you
I hope to ease my loneliness
somehow.

Flight of the Fireflies

I crawled out my window
The stars calling me
Climbing down the tree
Creeping to the meadow
~
Laying on my back
Breathing sweet heather
I felt a tiny smack
As light as a feather
~
My cheek was aflame
With cool cool fire
The fireflies' game
Dreams to inspire
~
They wheeled and dashed
Higher and higher
Around me magic crashed
Inflaming my desire
~
To roam the skies
on the back of wishes
To dance with the fireflies
Like a child's wishes

Embrace Your Scars
Each one
Like a trophy
Lying on the surface
Endured
'
Shown off to a few
~
Some are invisible
Claimed just the same
All are proof I'm alive
Real life
Scarred and embraced

Fellowships birthed and killed
To rid the world
Of toxic souls
To shed the serpants skin
To hush the lord of lies
Your brother may fall
You may wish to give up
But Evil by any other name
is still evil and plays
Its hideous game
Move on
take the weight
wield your pure desires
Face your greatest fears
Your songs will be sung
'Round funereal fires

Sacrificial sojourns
taken for granted
But never taken lightly
By the suicidal few
who stand guard
at the edges of a cause
~
Arrow tips pointed skyward
As if to fling their darts
At an indifferent god
Struck down
At the appointed hour
Their names bespoke no more
~
Martyr Martyr
Where are you sleeping?
Martyr Martyr
Is this in keeping
With the pledges you gave
So freely so gravely?
~
Elf warrior
Make yourself heard
Among the many humans
Who can drown out
Your sacred words

Murmured incantations
At the midnight hour
While kindness sleeps
White beards trembling
The wizards lie
Through grinning skulls
To the inocents
Who believe their magic
To be pure
Until it is too late
and they become perversions
Of themselves
Lamenting a past given to them
At the end of a wand

Pacing floors worn
with warnings of danger
Perceived through dreams
Of demons who dance
Where graveyards once stood
~
Tearing at hair
That falls like fur
In a cat fight
The worry grows like cancer
~
I dance with demons
In the night
When all is quiet
But nothing is right
~
Deliver me into peace
Shape me into pieces
Of a woman once whole
Whose story no one told

A moonless heart fades
Tempted
By darker shades
~
Weeping light from broken eyes
That pools
In the empty souless skies
~
When gentle touches reach out
The blinded
Shrivels in agony of self doubt
~
Brighter comes the midnight
Bearing a smile
That is determined to teach delight
~
Luna shines once more
Healing
The heart that loneliness tore

The earth spoke today
It rumbled and roared
It shook houses with its bellow
It rained rocks on the valley
Silent all these years
People became complacent
Forgot what its voice could do
forgot we are visitors
Forgot who our mother is.
