I'll never forget,
That I am loved,
In spite of all my irregularities.

So gently go out into the world-
Experience all life has to offer,
See new sights,
Taste new foods,
Seek laughs and adventures,
Date and love other people,
Get married and start a family,
Do whatever your heart desires.

Know that I'll be okay-
Because I am love,
And I am loved.

I sat frozen

Watching three surfers  

They wandered on waves

Beyond the riptide

Of the north shore

Each moment a destination

                   The rolling aqua

Swells pounding in my eardrums

The heart sound of the earth

Mountains of salty blue
                
                                     Crashing

Driving out the thoughts of a noisy mind

Twisting and driving them back into quiet energy

Where I awaken

Everyone else isn't me.

Are we ever really invisible?
Are we safe from prying eyes?
We are watched as I watch you
Sailing over WiFi connections
Like a portal to a pit.

As the stars lose there sparkle
The dark heavens gloom and glare
Tunneling a passage through
The deepest, darkest lair
Where I exist.
Velvet Elk Feb 2016
Waltzing on the fine line
Between love and pain
Yet burning with happiness
Leaving the blurry shadows  
Incongruities behind

Tight rope
Watching our bodies sway
Every fault made perfect
Yours and mine
In the bright eyes

You see this bird has wings
And she needs to fly
Needs to free fall out of the sky
He, the wind, will catch her
Before she hits the ground.

No one can take you
                             Save you

Where you need to go alone.

Inside yourself
                                 Believing
                                                    Seeing
Velvet Elk Nov 2015
As I sit here under the blue light
Dreams twisting in flavor
Pondering yesterday's and tomorrow's
I sit in darkness
Another beautiful night.
