promises and hearts
frail and fragile they are just
made to be broken

Keep distance, the Snail said,
I don't feel safe with humans around
and my pace makes me so vulnerable.

He took a deep breath and added,
do you ever feel my toil
to move from place to place
while the winds blow in gusts
and the world passes by like a storm?

My minutes tick like your hours
and hours days
as I climb the mountains of walls
cover furlongs of ground
rest and restart
never really knowing
where the path ends.

And you only add to my woes.

Your prank of a kick
rolls me back and down
all the way
to beyond from where I began.

A teardrop gathered in his opal eyes.

But it really doesn't matter,
a smile broke through the tears,

I see with all your pace
you're so far from happiness.

What is done is done and there's no taking it back
"Sorry" does not erase the hurt that I feel
Guess all we can do is try to move on
In time hope that forgiveness can heal
Written in 2015 after I found out my boyfriend was lying to me our whole relationship

Traveler
Living deep
Out in my forest
In an attempt
To close my mind
It fail upon
A dark October
In a better
  Vanished time...
When we were young
And life was bolder
I never thought
We'd get older
While recklessly
We lived as if we
  Could never die...
In drones of silence
The heart beats on
Slowly now
As I write my songs
And here I play another solo
   As I turn to face the night...
Traveler Tim

I replayed this
and realize
It's all been
Said before..

Fearless
ripping sound like no other
a baby laughing at it's mother
tinkling bells like drops of rain
then for a moment it starts to wain
intake of breath here comes the sound
like a little toy that needed to be wound
biggest toothless little grin
drool is dripping down the chin
bright blue eyes full of light
this baby will sleep well tonight
no other sound can bring such joy
as from a parent's girl or boy

O...my Lord
I can't love you most perfectly
I can't love you most grandly
Like the prophet, martyrdom and Your other lovers
But....
Allow me to love You:
By loving my family, friends
Human and the universe

you left
you didn't say goodbye
you left
you didn't tell us why
bereft
we wept.

.................
        .........    

Remembering,
how fast April, May and June ended,
gone.......yet, their breezes,
still whistle their songs into July
brazenly...heard by conscious, sharp ears,
by the bedroom door, i see how they
blow and push...how they move everything
...................
like these dancers on the window
moving with such grace,
always obsequious
to the call of the wind,
  ....................
soft silky bodies...dancing freely
moving with a gentle sway...flowing
flinging, waving up, down....in floral,
fruity and rustic prints....flimsy,
like summer scarves, in yellows,
reds, greens, blues, and browns
...................
baring......sometimes, hiding
a rich tapestry of an arcadian scene:
wide open areas of lush green
beside gold-colored fields,
eyes of passersby are stunned even more
by the long, wide, swaying leaves
of the proud  tobacco plants.
.....................
tireless hanging dancers, graceful and lithe,
organza curtains, pierced by rays of sunlight,
dancing with much fire, as wind becomes wild,
...but, shy at nights, when stilled by drawn blinds...
.........................

........Dancers........
....­.................
