I am

I want to taste

The Knowledge on your lips,

I want to feel

The truth you have to share.

Healing begins

Knowing where I end

Being feels

Like I am reborn.

Thirsting for it all

Pouring it down

The channels of

My endless spirit.

Reaching out across

Time into perpetuity,

I touch the truth in you,

And swallow the sweetness of life.

No Photos

Siitting in the cool

wet sand,
Feeling the grainy,

earthy texture

Against my hands.

The water lapping

lazily at my toes,

The sun picking up

the gold in his hair,

my son.

Laughing as the surf
erodes the fruits

Of our afternoon's work.
Wading in the calm bay,

Looking back at the shore
Trying to freeze the frame.

Burn this image into my brain,
Carve it into my center

My heart wants to know it
forever.

No cameras, No Phones,
No photos.

Just me, just him,

The summer son

and I continue our

lovely swim.

When Love is a Drug

When love is a drug
It intoxicates

It teases

It promises,

It pleases.

When love is a drug

It surrounds you

It feeds you
It says
It will never leave you.

When love is a drug,

Nothing is real

An illusion

Meant to confound

And confuse you.

When love is a drug

You ache

You feel greed

You suffocate

You bleed.

When love is a drug,
It leaves

You feel like you want to die

You cry and pray

You can say Good-Bye.

The Journey

Following my heart

Lead me deep

Into the wood

Of dark self doubt.

This body is

My only vessel

Yet it is so hard

To keep it afloat in this life.

Was it easier

In the past

When I could see
More clearly what I am.

Or isit better

Now in this wavering

Misty world

Opening its yawning mouth.

Shall I continue

Venture forth

Find my final path

Back to my true God

Back to myself.

From Miles- A New Life

I'm losing my mind,
I don't know what to say,
pictures in my head,
are fading away

 

time takes its toll,
my lonely leaf blows,
lost from its tree,
and all that I know 

memories fade,
do I know who I am?
am I good or bad,
or am I just a man

I know who I love,
love is for me to know,
loves all that matters,
the rest can all go 

The world is a blur,
moving too fast to hold,
Fleeting parts of my life,
played out in bold

I want to see it all,
A room with a view,
picture an ocean,
A beach walk with you

I've got a new canvas,
and you are my brush,
lets paint the world,
we're not in a rush

I'm forgetting the old,
and starting anew,
waiting at the edge,
of a new life with you

American Woman X

Why is my life

Not sweet enough
To fulfill my desire

For a sweet life.

Left turns
Leading to nowhere

Find me
In the center of the maze again.

Looking inward
Gives me vertigo

I don't know

Where to go.

Funhouse mirrors

Speak greater truths

Than what I see

In my own reflection.

I've fallen
And I can't get down

I'm dreaming

And I can't wake up.

American Woman IX

Found the courage

Located the faith
To take the step
Away to a new place.

Alone and free

Strong where we

Think we want to be
And then we remember.

Why we stayed so long

Finding reasons

To just hang in there 
To stay strong.

Lonely nights

Listening to the dog

Lick his rear end

Looking at the clock.

Wondering did I 
Choose the right course
Did I find myself
Or lose myself in this Divorce.

One

We come together

To share one mind

To find one heart

To be one in time.

Heal me with your
Songs of faithful

Understanding and hope

Find me in my lost world.

I question too much

Asking when I should know

You tell me

And I need to hear.

I pray to feel
Complete knowing

Like you do

And wrap myself in our fate.

Take me in time

Show me our many

lives we have lived

Let me see it all.

A bird is singing

In the halls of grace

And the song is familiar

In its song I remember your face.

I feel as before we are

In one place.

Truest Intention

Fear has locked
Your spirit of life
Blind and haunted
You wander earth with eyes of darkness.

If eyes are windows
Of the soul,
Yours appear to be
Covered from the outside
Your soul trapped behind false truths.

Open your eyes
Without fear
Finding a vision
Of your own creation
Put there by God's own and your intention.

Sweet knowledge
Not the kind you find
In books or in the mouths of priests
But from looking within
To the very place you feared to look before.

Truest intention maybe more frightening
Than no intention at all
Because you see what you truly want
Creating the truth reveals
Our balance between darkness and light.

I know your fear,
I have been there,
I reside in my own truth now
And though at times I cower
The knowledge of truth is more powerful.

The creations of our truest heart
Can be abominations of the worst sort
Or they may be the most beautiful feelings
But what we cannot be afraid of
Is the act of creation, the ultimate gift of God.

Winds of Eden

Two lost children of Eve,
Wandering in a world
Overwhelmed without reprieve,
Forgetting what it feels like
To love, to care, to receive.

Stunned and wild-eyed
Gob smacked, does the world lie
Not a chance you see
They crashed into each
And desperate together they fly.

On the winds of Eden
Their love destined to soar.
They will find a truth God-given
To them forever more.
