springs yellow beauty
infuses my bathing waters
golden rays of calm
surround my breasts
as a playful muse
i dredge up her soaking skin
from the depths of the murky water
swollen with wetness
i squeeze her dry
thin, frail, lifeless
as she drops back to the waters edge
i see her swell with new life
the cracks in her skin
allow new light
to fill her well within
this dainty damsel in distress
needed a loving hand
to show her she was still
full of breath
and her life had not
come to an end
this strangers union
engulfed her soul
and began her journey anew
the frailty of life
was just passing through
buzzard
white tipped wings
swirling in unison
guiding each other
in the search
together they make
their great decent
following their senses
led by intuition
they spiral down
to the earth
to find their purpose
to cleanse
pick away the bones
protect us
heal the land
purify spirit
they have no shame
for being looked upon
with disgust
for they carry deep wisdom
within their presence
Oh Tortured Soul
oh tortured soul
you have ran around this house of bones
for far too long
let me see the wisdom
you have brought with your age
let me know there is a truth
underneath your dark and beaten face
show this skeleton how to grow wings
please let me know there is still
a heart that beats
underneath this rusty cage
unchoke your twisted fingers
from this throat of mine
promise me there is a gasp
left inside of me
with which to speak my sorrows
unravel this longing inside me
to know a peace so real
a contentment that was robbed
of me in the early days of you
cover these eyes of fear
enough for me to speak and feel
the warm compassion of the heart
i have found myself begging of you
to finally set me free
As Seasons Change
Seasons pull at my heartstrings
Memories change and fade
With the setting of every sun
Missing times in my life I once hated
Breezes in my hair while music soars
Walking knee deep in fields of another day
Ill turn my cheek to those thoughts of you
For they wont bring anything but rain
Hold onto your tounge before you speak
Those daydreams were just fleeting
Glimpses of false could bes
There is just something about this time of year
Waves of yearning wash over me
It probably has nothing to do with anyone
Just the way the universe
Wraps you in her comforting confusion
And makes you look deeper
Into your own skin
Memories change and fade
With the setting of every sun
Missing times in my life I once hated
Breezes in my hair while music soars
Walking knee deep in fields of another day
Ill turn my cheek to those thoughts of you
For they wont bring anything but rain
Hold onto your tounge before you speak
Those daydreams were just fleeting
Glimpses of false could bes
There is just something about this time of year
Waves of yearning wash over me
It probably has nothing to do with anyone
Just the way the universe
Wraps you in her comforting confusion
And makes you look deeper
Into your own skin
Patchwork
you mend frays and flaws of old worn and weathered jeans
you piece yourself together to create a blanket of warmth
i cover myself with on lonely nights
your spirit protects me
the history you hold, ties together years of lost embraces
your miss matched beauty is so unique
each little bit of remnants left behind, too small to use
become a coat of many colors
an inspiration of so many mothers
you create significance and beauty out of the seemingly useless
you have stolen my heart
and burrowed a nest in my soul
