She Travels From the Sea to the City(Preview) | kutipi2 | 0 | 61 | |
| Cloaked in the lingering storm clouds of summer rain
She softly treads above the mists of the citys gaslights -
Her feet are sore from running in the eyes of hurricanes
And her muscles tremble from being starved of life
The streets are abandoned and...

Fade(Preview) | Lady Poe | 1 | 28 | |
| Blinking lights twinkle and fade
and all that was has gone away;
Trinkets and follies, along with dollies
not up in the attic, but shoved away
where no light can reach them and
shadows lengthen gray.
Stars aren't heaven but a trap in disguise
endle...

And your eyelids glint for starry miles
By the hour you will hum the winds song
And silently by your crib I will watch along
By midnight youre in your little Eden;

Dream, Inspire, Run, Dare, Hope (or On Faith)(Preview) | kutipi2 | 2 | 25 | |

Touching the moonlight
While clouds engulf
Whatever heavens
The sky conceals
Inspire as the scent of summer rain
Which fills a mind
With serene clouds of floating
And all the Earthly pleasures
Of infinity
Run as the wind alon...

Abuela Luna (Grandmother Moon)(Preview) | kutipi2 | 2 | 33 | |
| Older than age itself,
Each wrinkle and crater on her skin
Represents a year;
A time of rising and falling
And rising out of darkness again
During the day she gathers herself
In the comfort of invisibility and begins
To reflect on the infinit...

Innocence(Preview) | kutipi2 | 1 | 28 | |
| Innocence
On this warm April day,
Sweet smiling children play so free
Neath the flowering tree.
Girls pick pink blooms for me, weaving
Them into my hair; leaving
Their love for receiving; I trail
Them with my fingers - They'll
Be miss...

Night in the Words(Preview) | kutipi2 | 2 | 33 | |

Sweet, and in a whisper
Calling from where the shimmering lies
Welcome, welcome wandring one
Stay and sleep with the midnight sun
Close your eyes, dream your dreams
For this world is more full of magic than it seems

Sunlight kisses my wintered skin.

Reaching out to draw them in.

Passing Time(Preview) | Lady Poe | 6 | 54 | |
| Another year-
come and gone
Most days I feel the passing
of time
In my bones, in the recesses
of my mind.
Another year
wondering
What lies ahead of me
Good times or bad,
will I have the strength
to endure (again).
Another year
and all ready
I feel ...

Reach out..(Preview) | The Dreamstress | 3 | 36 | |
| Unsettled
In the dark of night
Twisting and turning
trying to escape
her own mind
and the memories that lie
enclosed
in its darkest corners
Oh stupid, foolish womanchild
Leave the past behind
Reach out for the tomorrow
That you know
Lies just beyond...

I will touch the sun with my fingertips
Heat turning my skin into gold
When my eyes close
I will fly through the skies
Soaring with the gliding wind
When my eyes close
I will dance with faeries and sprites
Bringing their silver d...

Faerish Poem (for lack of a better title...because I can't think of one lol)(Preview) | kutipi2 | 6 | 230 | |

Awake, wind and drifting leaves
Where the columbine tumble down the stone wall
For here we are beckoned by your call
Singing river, so soft and silent
How wise you are while reflecting our reflections
As you swift past the tangled oak tree
And ho...

One moment in a lingering touch
And all your words whisper like
Past dreams floating on a billowing wind
And I am immortalized in a simple smile
That you gave in passing.

Musings For A Moment(Preview) | Lady Poe | 1 | 24 | |
| One step forward
beneath the stars
Forget the dirt
and all the scars -
Learn to look up
instead of at my feet
Smile when I feel like crying
and do not consider defeat.
Positivity, a light burning
ten thousand candles
and hope that is warming,

Verve Consideration(Preview) | Lady Poe | 3 | 35 | |

Through time and space the pendulum swings
creating creation among other things
In a world full of forces, some known
some unseen -
It's the matter of probability that paints
the scene
And keeps all the grasses and trees vibrant
green

She grasps at moonlight
Its silver glow
Trickling through her
Trembling fingers
Such timeless beauty
Captured
For a fragile moment
Until it fades away
And she is left
With wonder
In her heart
And a new light
in her glistening eyes

Huge cotton wool balls of snow
Settle with a soft whisper on the ground
All is quiet, save for the distant chime of beckoning bells
My thoughts are far away
Blowing with the breeze
Scattering like the seed fluff from the clematis

| Last Day, First Day
As Father Time makes his weary way
To New Year's Door,
He stops,
And contemplates
On what has been and gone.
He brushes aside the cobwebs of the past
Finds endless halls
Of memory and
With knowing smile,
He leav...

I cant wait until 12th night,
To take the tinsel down.
The Christmas trees all dusty,
And the needles are all brown.
The carpets full of glitter,
Its treading everywhere.
