The Pregnant Unknown trails softly behind us:
Love’s secret voice
whispering, even begging us to surrender hesitancy,
that precarious net new lovers hold
while wading barefoot in shallow waters…
…this tide gently pulls us further,
Love offers us the gift of buoyancy over its fearful depths
as we pass in and out of each others arms…

Angels and demons on either side, guiding us,
but they can only see so far – oh, the power we hold!
We are both: pillars anchored separately in Love
and that space in between
where we mix beyond praise and premonition,
outside of time, yet we unfold.

Embolden by your spirit,
your imperfections revealing your vulnerability,
framing your beauty and humanity,
my own dawn with blinding clarity and stories untold.
Complete and overthrown by this Mystery
peeking from behind our fear,
dancing through our fresh eyes,
we are Here
mirroring in Love’s infinite womb.
...See the blood that
paints this place
red
while gods play
with everything that surrounds
heaven and hell
Most in the masquerade
pretend
not to see
the hungry flies
in the lifeless bodies' eyes
but the stench is what
haunts their dreams
until it forces them to
walk away from the truth
and rot
in the comfort
of their bed with stolen wines
while simple people die
from thirst
In the end
people will not talk about life
anymore but
who gets
what...

...Fallen on bended knees
upon sun-soaked soil of
lifeless rocks and dust
that feeds the fear
of a shattered
dream
Arid is the breath
a strength into the fading
torn by the wounds
Bleeding
...almost dry
Lady lacuna in the breeze
plays an aria
of an eerie silence
Emptiness
in each note
and nothing seems
to quench the thirst
as Man drains the
blood...

cage
will
  beat
clipped wings
'til
  droplets begin
filling
silent
  ruby pools  
with fluttering desires  
to fly free & sing
The cage door has been left open,
just in case
...you feel it beat,
does your little bird sing?
...Build a fire
and burn the heart
to bring the light at the end of
darkness
Fill the sorrow with
songs
Maybe tomorrow will
leave a room to forgive
and never
spend the night
under the kiss of whiskey
ever
again
Tread the path
where shadows remain what
they are
and believe those who embrace
reason as a fragile whisper
Choose
we can only be here
once...

i am a leaf,
   caught in passion's wind.
      i can only feel myself
         being tossed into the air,
      cast from current to current,
   from elation to remorse,
      jealousy to disappointment,
        concern to misgivings,
     anxiety to grief to ardor.

                         i'm lifted into the air
                            and then
banged to the ground.

   she is dangerous.

      she moves too easily into my being.

i am a leaf.

   i have no will.
