A Grandmother’s Memory
I carry you in songs unsung. I carry you in quiet ways. Looking back to the time we shared, I think those were the best of days. Curled up beside your wobbly legs; Listening as you tell those stories, But now that you are no longer here, I will forever cherish those memories. I carry…

Born To Be
she was not born to be loved for her beauty she was born to be loved for who she was she was not born to please others she was born to please herself and her needs she was not born to fit into boxes she was born to be free as a bird she was…

Orange
Orange peels. Cinnamon sticks, season of the witch. Mary Jane’s and socks with frills, there’s bows and scarves, and I think pip mentioned bread. Or berries. The air makes me think of ink pens, the kind that smudge on the page and leave reminders on your hands all day long. That’s not a summer pen,…

Shattered Echoes
I. The Fall I built a home within your arms, where laughter danced like candle flames, where whispered vows in midnight dark were etched upon my fragile frame. You spoke in verses soft and sweet, each syllable a silken thread, I wove them into tapestries and laid them where I laid my head. But love…

The Darling Doe
She is the Darling Doe, Made flesh with the curves of a woman, A love letter to the meadows her mother roams. The windows to her soul dance with a marriage of honey and chocolate, As if the spirit of innocence from the terrified doe was captured on the face of a woman. Mercury does…

Carousel
I’m dressed in corduroy, and I watch through my peripheral vision as you watch through yours. I knew I would see you here. I knew I would see you here. In this life, on this go-around, I knew I would see you here. I knew I would see you here. In this life, on this…

Springtime Sonata
Ah spring Your orchestra is ready, Violins and pianos Trumpets and cellos All become one when you arrive. From winter’s ashes You sprout up, Like a Phoenix rises You rose up to envelop all Your warmth is next to none The first love of Gaia herself. Lovers listen Listen to the melody, Spring is here…

Tears Of A Dying Man
When my eyes shut tight, And only silence my ears can hear, When darkness has engulfed my light, Sing me a song, but don’t shed any tears. When my body is active no more, Please, let me rest; For I’m gone for a reason, Only God knows the best. When you see me lying in…

Sleep Deep
Sleep deep, my darling, sleep, Till silence is the only word you hear. Sleep deep, beloved sleep. Don’t awake till you reach over there. Sleep deep, my darling, sleep, Till your eyes no longer witness, This pitiless earth, And all its vileness. Sleep deep, my child, sleep; Marvel not at the flowers over your grave,…

Reach For Peace
Wait for it, one day it may come to you, Change can come in ways that seem so sudden, It was never a thing I considered before, Until the door opened a little more. Rolling Riverstone rollies in the garden, Feeling the universe calling me back, The energy flowing through all and me, Making this…
