longing for you in passion misplaced
energy stills in entangled embrace
craving the sweetness of symbiont song
a tourist in realms I do not belong

yet partner beside me expands with attention
committed soul union so blessed
why exploration beyond co-creation
my heart beats the call
bring it home

cantadora hush

the poem is borne
  and will not change
  so I soaked it in ***
           spewed whirling
               candomble chants
          from depths afire
and yet unyielding form remains
so I covered it
      in mouth-melted chocolate
          swallowed once more
           sweet cantadora hush

candomble : an Afro-Brazilian religion, sharing some beliefs with Vodou, Santeria, and Obeah
cantadora : singer/storyteller, keeper of the lore

with abandon

abandon me slowly
go to the place where you are holy
within the realm you call your own

abandon me swiftly
that I may fall
firm in my place
where I shall find me

abandon me
to the path of myself
where I shall dance
my way*
*with abandon

Credit first three lines to soul-friend Myron in presence with Mado

sharing breath

many long months
contact only in my mind
written messages net delivered
words compressed through wires
**Now sharing breath
eyes meeting eyes
Truth of this moment
is all I need

Why seek....

I planted today
in tune with moon and rainfall.
Why seek discontent ?

tricky trending

Hey, the trouble with trending
is that favorites lie pending
But some nights we just don't resist
the thrill of posting two or six

Tune for an Insomniac

Time to sleep now rest your head
You know you're weary, go to bed
Soon will dawn another day
to jump right in and join the fray
Curl up with your pillow dear
Surrender to this comfort near
Though turbulence exciting feels
Let dream time be the space that heals

Especially for you Embers, and for some others...including me.
