She Travels From the Sea to the City
(Preview)
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 filled with echoes;
Windows are boarded up wit...

Fade
(Preview)
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
endless and brutal, those midnight eyes;
blinkin...

Lullaby for an Invisible Child
How soundly you douse your sunny smile
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;
A stony white stillness glows so peaceful then
And I wonder if...

as a flame
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 along the grass
Carrying itself too quickly to deciphe...

Abuela Luna (Grandmother Moon)
(Preview)
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 infinite bygone years
And when the night reappears, her sp...

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 missed. Boys play tag, frail
Ones smiling as they stu...

Night in the Words
(Preview)
A trickling brook sighs
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
Lilac and lavender scents drift slight,
While moths...

My shadow plays
in fields of rippling grasses,
Sunlight kisses my wintered skin.
I look towards
the beckoning days of summer,
Reaching out to draw them in.

Passing Time

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 each passing
second of age

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 the borders
Of midnight..

*This morning I had the opportunity to sit at the beach for 45 mins and just think and take in the sight, sound and smells of the ocean.
It was delightful as usual. Something that really caught my eye and snagged the corners of my heart was an older couple, curled up in beach chairs, blankets with coffee...

When My Eyes Close (just a little something)

When my eyes close
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 dust in my hair
When my eyes close
I will hold b...

Tasted A Moment With The Aftertaste of Never

Tasted A Moment With The Aftertaste of Never:
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.
In the glare of bright city lights I think
How do you do what you do?
When all I a...

Musings For A Moment

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,
Find the straight path
and walk- head held hig...

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

Scattering like the seed fluff from the clematis
Reaching along my fence
Inhaling deeply, I reach ou...

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 leaves the door ajar.
He slowly moves on to a new sunrise,

To take the tinsel down.

And the needles are all brown.
The carpets full of glitter,
Its treading everywhere.
Our fairy lights have blown a fuse,
And we havent got a spare.
