Little bird little bird
So fragile, so small
From way high in the branches
You tumble and fall

Little bird little bird
Let me show you to fly
To soar up to the heavens
To set fire to the sky.

Little bird little bird
… but, no one may know
If's heard a little peep
Those feathers will go

Come on little bird
…lets lift up your wings!
Fearful but so happy
Little bird  sings!

Little bird, little bird
Will, what do you know
Plucked of every feather
Now, where will you go?
Theresa M Rose Jul 2015
The taste of stillness;
Sensations dance
… along dimly lit walls;

Flickering shadows.
To what will come;
Comforts…

Gently kiss noble asp;
Make still my essence.

Grant glories to the scent
And heed these candles call,
Aken!

The ferryman knows;  
It is I, Isis!
… awaiting within my tomb;

To take triumph
… over empires
And, bid Ma’at
… make ready the scales.

A mute tongue speaks,
Now, even I must obey.
Take me, take me now,
… beyond the veil;
…to my most noble love.

Venom seeps deep to the breast;
Still warmth, trickles slow…

Truth drips of love;
Flowing trials;
Blessings of surrender

My Beloved goes in advance;
Does desire deceive?

… am I the fool?
Is now, pleasing time?!

Or, is love stronger
… than all defeat?

Come; Come
Take me to the land of Reeds.  

Charms beguile…

My bed waits;
My dead-book, done;
Shimmers of gold, ready;
Royal garments adorn!

I am Phoenix!
I am Queen;

I am Pharaoh!

To my glory;
My, Mark Anthony!

The cosmos awaits.

To be desolate
in the depths.

Better than to love;
The heart shatters.

Lift;
Drop;
Descend
Splash.

Down drown sung breath;
Where divisions hold dear.

To float;
To sink;
To be
… where the void sees

Night; Day;
Surrender in turn

‘Til  to surrender is all there is…
And, echoes

Emit what was…

Paragon of love

The depths;

Dark,
Deep,
Desirous;

To fly beneath
White foamy lines
Yielding tide. guide me;

Inhale
Exhale

Trembling;

This need to reach.

Beloved;
To touch You…

Beyond breathe
Past… the sand.
Water splashes
… caressing toes.

Standing,
Waiting
…along our sandy shore.

Once more…,
Water welcomes
… another sunset.

Faintly, lights awake;
A dance like heartbeats
… to delight the sound;

White tips glisten
… touching darkness.

Stars shimmer
… along the deep.

Above;
Below;

Take my heart
… onto the horizon;

To home;
To you

Your binds reach;

Hearts bellow
A longing to reach
… fills me.

My heart desires
… to reach;
You.

Salty scent;
Eyes close
Cool spray
... tingle my lips

The taste
Your skin
I feel ... the want

The need;
…your pull.

Far beyond,
… the jetty’s hold;
A deepening thirst
Summons.

So deep…
So familiar…
So yielding…

To you; My Love

Just beyond … the horizon’s break
A soft sensation rides.

Guide me;
Beckon my heart. Beloved;

Beckon me
… beyond the waves.

Echoes, echoes,…
Echoes of love;
Call long

To this, tinder spirit
Yours
… left to drift.
I feel you
Reaching.

Your breath Calls;

A sound to entice.

Breathe, breathing
… beyond the sands of time;
Through hazy silence;

Oh, sweet, gentle submergence
Waves clash upon my flesh

To feel…
Your pull

Memories, such memories;
The sweet salty taste
To embrace you;
My love

Yearning;
Yearning;
To yearn…
Your essence touch.

Once more
Waves force me back;

Tides froth
… covers me

Stumbling;
Tumbling;
Tossed
... upon the shore

As an old oyster’s shell.

Love, daylight returns

Once more, our ocean…
Ours;

Keeps us

The deep;
The deep
Is…
Too deep.

So much water
Left only to thirst;

For you.

Beloved; To time and tide…

A pearl.

Remember?
Forget.

…all right?
You bet!

Ask again?
… the same.

Illusions?
… no pain.

When?
A child's refrain.

What is that?
A time to recall?

Shadows of candlelight?
Footsteps in a hall?!

A moonless night?!
Raindrops in flight?!

The tapping of rain?
Sounds… of the gutters and drains?!

Come on, now, tell me;
What do you recall?

Nothing!
Nothing at all.
What…; What’s that;
Can you hear the mouse?

Is the mouse in the house?

She’s snapped
… in the trap!

Does she live?  
Or,… does she die?

She’s safe;
She’s under a glass.
She must not talk, can’t say
… of what’s gone to past.

Why not?
What will it do?

A final snap;
I’m telling you!

One more time;
Then, we will be through
Recall that time;
What’s happening to you?

Can’t you tell?
Look, and see…
My smiling face;
I‘m still free?!

Nothing!
Nothing at all;
Nothing took place.
Nothing to me?!

Doc?
Look at the time!?
It’s time …
We’re all through!

Till, next week;
Thanks Doc
I’ll be seeing you!

I feel so lovely.
I feel so free.
Oh, I can feel his hand.
He's touching me.

He looks into my eyes,
And his hand, it is on my knee.
Oh his eyes, I look so deeply into his eyes.
This, frightens me.

For so long I have been on my own,
And to be now no longer all alone.
Oh, to open my heart to him, as if it was a home.
This, frightens me.

At first, it makes me smile.
But then, within such a little while,
I feel the fear.
I feel a tear.
I run.
It frightens me.

Manifestive
.. Appeal;
Perceptive
… manner;
Presentative
… charms;
…the wit of a Mad-hatter.

Perceptively perplexing
Both friend and foe;
Degradative
…praises
A mirror image…
I know.

Charade debacle
A farce..
Calamity divine;
Concert in crisis
Drama‘s
… entwine.

Spectaculative Improv
A living excuse
Performing inviolable;

A trist… with Mother-goose.
