Traveling Light

I wonder what his heart looks like

A cypress tree and starry night

Like Grenadine with Diet Sprite

The streamers on a child's bike

Cathedral bells and falling rice

Or ocean swells 'neath diamond kites

Like tinsel strands and traveling light?

He'll show me once he knows I'm right

The Mouse

With candy cane handcuffs, there needn't be keys 

Mistreat me this Christmas, I chew through and leave

My quips are my missiles and kisses deadly

Such insulin shock, you could drop and decease

Curled up with the kittens in mistletoe leaves

One eye on my business and cheese as I sleep

I've predators present at every degree

And ready or not, it's your thoughts I can read

So know this - I'm focused, and I will succeed 

The mouse in my house always stirring is me

God Boss

Love for an art

Heart for a home

God for a boss

Leave me alone

Jenga

Murder, mansion, mystery 

Do you know your history?

Queen of Hearts in memory 

Might I be your enemy?

Pick the candlestick and see 

Clues are in my poetry

House of cards and car of clowns

State of mind that wasn't sound

Sorry! Scrabble word not found

Back to basic starting ground

I'm in wind and when I'm round...

Jenga, all your walls come down

Show & Tell

Show & tell
Should've known

Swallowed whole

Spit up bones

Is this you 

Off your throne?

Without wings

All alone

Could've moved

Would have grown

Wouldn't you

Have rather flown?

Face your fear

Change your tone
Find your way

Phone your home

ICU (Love, God)

Whatever you may say or do

Or all you haven't gotten to

Whatever that you hurt or who

...Whether or not you meant it to

However you may think and rue

Or drug and drink into the blue

Whatever harm that then ensues 

(Although in time it's your turn, true)

Whatever you've been in or through...

You never change how I see you

Inside See

Look where He led me

Look at how lovely

Green isn't envy -

It's lush and leafy

Beavers so busy -

We stop what's easy

Block what would flow free

Dehydrate Maui

Irrigate, it's key - 

Water's inside, see?

Unsettled Soul

Unsettled soul

You never weren't whole

Oh Natalie, no

Not unloveable 

At maiden, mom, crone -

Married or alone

Believe me I know

I've been in your boat

We're already home

Dry Lightning

Dry lightning, no rain

Specific in aim

I fight it, my brain

This doesn't seem sane

Waned water, pure pain

I race 'round my drain

Must fix this, reframe

So blend them and bathe

In middle, I'm saved

A perfect storm made

Water Bearer

Water bearer, bring your cup

Tame the blaze that near corrupt

Air to lungs to rouse from rut

Legs of trunks to lift me up

Isn't that I'm not enough

Sentences can ends in 'but'

When this writer needs a nudge

Enters as an angel does

On my path and back above

Blessed am I to have your love

Glimmer

On the other side of trigger 

You will do well to remember 

Something simple so you center

Playful, pretty, joyful, gentle

Such as shells that spell surrender

Set one your ear to enter

To your heart, your holy mentor

Light in flight, ingnite adventure

What in life excites - a glimmer

Left a Libra

Left a Libra

Death in zebra

Stripes to wipe this from my soul

Split in pieces 

Kept it secret

Now I fight to make this known

Took my children

Had me prisoned

Turned my gifts against; Controlled 

I'll release this

Be forgiveness

Fear, it's clear - is to let go

The Speaking Sky

The speaking sky, in streaking sighs

Of hues that hum and harmonize

Its sleeping spies - our stars disguised

Adrift, still with, as dreamtime dies

Her asking eyes, wide open, wise

All knowing, probing - analyze

With birds that fly, so act as scribes

The words to serve and showcase by

Come clouds who cry, each weeping, "why?"

These wisps of lips must kiss goodbye

For sun makes might - does give us life

Each beam his means of screaming light

To Swim

This contract? It ends

I don't wait for men

It's now, that was then

I woke up, I win

I've learned how to swim

Amen

Significant Other

God is my partner, so please understand -

I'll never be tethered to woman or man

I won't play a part and I don't meet demands

Unless they're my own and on ground that I stand

I keep neither cuffs nor a ring on my hand

I do all I want and whatever I can

Alone is illusion - I know who I am:

Supported and courted according to plan

Sediment

Like sediment sinks

Slow down and rethink

Don't settle, but sleep

Awaken in peace

A wind will upheave

Expand and release

As ripples, you reach

Wash, rinse, and repeat

Rebuild

Weather harsh, window sill

Ants are art - do not kill

Shopping cart, poison pill

Put it down, please be still

Fall apart, wait until...

Watch us start, see our skill

Follow heart, with free will -

We are smart - we rebuild

A Rose

Like the light comes through cracks

I'm a rose that grows back

In full bloom and intact

A high vibe and impact

In spite of and in fact

I'm on point and on track 

Free of fear, love from lack

I am better than that

At Play

These birds sound like scissors 

Wings clip cut away

Seams burst, sundress withers

It's dismal this day

My words blend with blizzards

Do dreams die or stay?

Deferred - dead like winter

But always at play

Taurean Today

Let's be Taurean today

We'll have what we want and our way

Great food and good sex and high pay

Soft sweaters and leathers with lace 

Put assets all over this place

Own homes in all fifty (one?) states

Invest in the best real estate 

Rent rockets and timeshares in space

We'll build through our will, how we say

From scratch, off our backs, made to stay

It's Earth - here's our worth on display

We're bulls and we rule, so ole'!

Give and Take

Eye and socket: sight

Lamp and outlet: light

Man and woman: life

Plus and minus: might

In and out: ignite

Give and take tonight

Color Therapy

Peach fuzz, white fleece

Pink Ladies in Grease

Grape jelly, Greenpeace

Blue eyes, Siamese

Bright yellow striped bees

Magenta, Rocky 

Bullwinkle/peri

Majestic, pretty

It makes me happy

Lifts my frequency 

For real, and free

No, seriously

Color therapy
