i would like
to take
a shuttle to the moon:
a dear rocket through the blue!

as i cling to the wing
of the rickety thing,
i would sing a little
faring daring tune

if the moon were bright,
brighter than night,
and made of the stuff
that we covet and lust,

i would like
to take home
a piece of it for you.

The flat island floods
for want of a ****;
the land turns to mud,
the landsman alike;
  cursing the robin,
  the jay and the shrike.
Rewind,
Flashback phobias...
Encountering
Blueberries smiling
Cactusy sweetness
Dark hallucinations
Dawn provoked

Life comes at us in waves
Instead of hiding away in a cave
I take to the water
I glide to the bottom and look up
Sunlight on the surface is breathtaking
It breaks into a million pieces
Glittering like diamonds in the sea
The light bounces and does a dance for me
It is soft and serene
and puts me at ease
When life gives us waves....jump in :)

Dream of me
I am real...
I am where smiles are made
and tears fade away
Where hope springs forth
Away from the darkness
of the earth

I am the glow of the moon
and all the stars in the sky
those who seek the light
shall have me as their guide

I am the red bird or butterfly you see
Just keep your eyes open... to find me
I am where tomorrow is coming
and hope always holds on
My darling
I am never truly gone....❤
I have been dreaming of my mother lately and do not want to wake up because it feels so real and I miss her so. I wrote this from her perspective writing to me

your pain fills us with sorrow
we love you like parched earth
loves clouds of rain

we dream you
healed, happy
drifting

a happy sky
full of love
& rain once

again

sensually bringing
such beauty to
all this world

generous & sweet
you are always
in our hearts

Jamahdi

we
love
you
Jamadhi, you have always given so much to this poetry website. So much love, and support, to me, I know, personally, you have been an inspiration, a support, and a source of many things in my writing. You made me feel like I could write about things I had never written about, and then gave me the equivalent of a standing ovation when I did write about them. You were a teacher and a friend. I wish you healing and strength on your journey now. I wish for you all the love for you in your direction that you have sent out to me, a person you didn't even really know this last couple of years. I will be sending you many thoughts, Jamahdi.

holy grail might have been
chalice, a woman's cup
challenge, for to save
her love

knight templars might have been
reporters with long zoom lenses
watching guinnie & lance
cavort about on a stone

none who were not there can touch
beauty, knowledge, fate,
legend leaves tracks for more to follow
let lovers follow us

it was my moment in the sun
my shining nothing conflicting
inside my head were the pure
chords of ethereal air

breathing in rhyme & circular riffs
as if entirely upon harps
& flutes

sun, it's never too late
moon, give it up

united we shall be

universe is bigger than this love
but galaxy?

may in fact collapse
entire, & strand us all
with empty hands

aching hearts
mouths who never said it
to you but then again

you
always
knew
#universe #galaxy #hearts
