Rain Dances

Clouds gray...
Ripple in an array...
Losing way to the brightness of the day...
A sudden drop...
Rests on top...
I extend my hand...
Another one lands...
A few short moments...
Silence...
Allows my mind to roam free...
Before the clouds open...
Creating a sea...
Drenched...
As I stand here...
No longer cold and lonely...
Now I'm warm and safe...
As the rain graces my face...
I stand here...
Frozen in time...
Soon the clouds disperse...
No more tears on this hearse...
All I see are sun bursts.

Sun's kisses unravel my heart
    Darkened from soot
          Dust blows in the breeze

                                             
              Please note that the attached picture is not my work, but is beautiful!

Toxic Antidote - Sunday Scribblings

All of me is lost from me...
I'm as blank as a white page can be...
All because of the lies you tell...
Expecting me to believe them like a fairy-tale...
It's obnoxious to me...
All that you speak to be...
That conscience of yours is as black as the coldest well...
In the darkest night of hell...
But that doesn't stop you...
From these lies you sell...
You're under your spell...
Cold and lonely...
You think you know me...
Feeding me lines laced with antivenin...
Though you are misplaced in your ways...
You never notice these lines don't stay...
They roll off your tongue...
And fall wayside to the beat of a drum...
While you thought you were my antidote...
These lines you fed had my goat...
Instead of saving me...
From disparity...
You've enlightened me...
To the contrary...
Your toxins never penetrated my soul...
This is why I'll never pay your toll. 

Inner Coating

Simple...
Dreams...
Dissolve.

Intricate...
Layers...
Create.

All the love I've felt...
All the love I feel...
Is built on simple dreams dissolving into intricate layers of creativity.

The Day Before I Met You - Sunday Scribblings

Dawn approaches with new beginnings...

Shaken with remains of yesterday's imperfections...

Glistening in the morning dew...

I catch sight of you...

Outside of me...

Reaching desperately....

To see clearly...

All the beauty of the new...

Yet I'm stuck anew...

In lazy slumber...

A tender tip upon my hip...

Whispers in my ear are laced in honey...

A kiss rests upon my lips...

Awoken from this nightmare...

Where I was running but never catching my heart, dear...

Awaken to my ponder on life's wonders...

I see the past and shake with fear...

I hear your voice and cry out in pleasure...

Now I know yesterday is gone...

Tomorrow is here...

And forever, I am your dear. 

Makings of Me...

I feel things...
I feel things about you...
I feel things about me...
I feel things about the person sitting next to me...
That isn't you...
I feel things about the earth...
I feel things about my worth...
I. Feel. Things...
I want to know things...
I want to experience things...
I want to appreciate things...
No, I want to be appreciated...
Beyond what the eye can see...
I want to be appreciated...
Appreciated for what is inside of me...
My heart...
My mind...
These are things that make me...
Not the shape of my eyes...
Or the curve of my thighs...
Admire these...
But appreciate "me"...
Inner me versus outer me...
There is no competition...
I am a force to be reckoned with...
You've looked at me...
Assessed me...
Without ever speaking to me...
How do you know me?
How do you feel me?
I've blessed thee...
With opportunity to look inside of me...
Yet you blindly...
Look through me...
Seeing only the surface of what the eye can see...
Gazing over me tactically...
Placing me tidily...
Away from me...
Never seeing from the heart...
All the words I've spoken from the start...
See, I am more than a vessel...
For you to unleash your special...
That reigns nightly...
And ceases delightedly...
I've recalled the essentials...
Pretend...
Pretend...
Pretend...
All the ways you see past mine...
I've never been on your mind...
Or in your heart...
You skip me...
Like a rock on lake...
Skimming the surface...
Never noticing what lies beneath...
Unless disrobed...
You never go beyond the throws...
Or the woes...
Though I'm still dancing gracefully upon my toes...
Because I am more to me then you will ever know...
I am a heart...
I am a mind...
After all I am divine.

End to Beginning

You run...
You seek...
You hide...
I find...
Defeat...
Inside.

We laugh...
We cry...
We survive...
I discover...
Life...
Outside.

I walk...
I skip...
I dance...
You uncover...
Romance...
Within.

This...
Is where we begin.

In Life We Scurry

We race to the finish...

Skipping the in betweens...

Jumping hurdles...

Never experiencing the scenes...

If we only took the time...

Time to enjoy the wine...

Time to enjoy the laughter...

Of life's missteps...

Losing to our regrets...

Sheltered by our angst to reach the end...

We never stop and hear...

All the words we fear...

Disguised by blessings...

Are life's lessons...

If we only took the time...

Took the time to let them reach our mind.

Only Time Can Tell

Anniversary...

A year gone by so fast...

I noticed every second...

Every minute without your laugh...

Without your tongue-in-check charm...

Without you...

Remembering the past...

Is all that lasts...

Regret holds me captive...

All the should of's...

All the would of's...

All the did nots...

Dance grimly in my musings...

Where did this year go...

Like so many before it...

Plenty I wanted to show...

Plenty I wanted to know...

Time was not something we had...

No, it was against us...

Tricked us into believing...
We had endless time for healing...
Leaving me sterile with feeling...
Missing you when I wake...
Missing you when I daydream...
Missing you when lying awake...
        in the endless night...
This is no mistake...
Though you are with me when I wake...
Though you are with me when I sing...
Though you are with me when I dream...
Guiding me in art...
Helping me find the start...
       To a life...
You are forever alive...
       In my heart.

Soul Food

If your soul was a window...
Would I see rainbows covered in roses?
If your soul was a window...
Would I see the path to my demise?
If your soul was a window...
Could I open it and feel the breeze
Eagerly dancing across my face ruffling arduously through my hair?
If your soul was a window...
Would you allow the sun to fill the room while keeping out rain
Only to keep me warm and free of pain?
If your soul was a window...
Would there be shutters of perfection
Releasing upon distention?
If your soul was a window
Would I be blinded by its glare
Or lustfully gazing beyond the affair?

Significance

at the sound of your name…
       I remain
at the sound of your voice…
       I sustain
at the sound of your walk…
       I refrain
at the sound of your breath…
       I retain
at the sound of your love…
       No pain.

Moments Astray

There is a time and a place…
Where everything existed within this space…
We forged ahead…
Drenched and bled…
Paining for discovery…
Delighted in mutely…
Sing a song with me…
Dance alone with glee…
Freedom to explore…
All we once hoped for…
Knocking down the wall…
Of all the lonely rise and falls.

Sightless Adoration

Blinded...
Immersed in Your grace...
Cleansing the tears from my face...
Thankful...
Neglected space is blessed...
My heart can attest...
Love...
Abounds the soul...
Unleashing wounds toll...
Forever...
In this place...
Countless memories erase...
Tragedy...
Barricades the remains...
Chasing estranged dreams...
Harmonizing...
The perils of faith...
With the lust of hate.

Veracious Love

If I had the ability to convey all the ways I love you...
I would not have enough paper and ink to write them...
I would not have enough air to speak them...
I would not have enough time to say them...
Should you ever question my love...
I will find a way to convey...
All the ways you inspire me...
All the ways you brighten my day...
All the ways a thought of you brings a smile to my face...
And warmth to my heart...
So that maybe one day you will see...
All the ways my love for you is true.

Expression's Halo

Words unspoken wreak of deceit…

Words spoken mask the defeat…

Hiding behind the confines…

Leads me to the mines…

Forceful in explosion…

Mind battered by erosion…

Frozen in furry…

Vision blurry…

Battling the fairy tale...

While escaping the empty shell...

Bringing closure...

Exposes the failure. 

Abstract

Spending time...
Twisting dimes...
Dredging the mines...
Berating in confines...
Will we be defined?
Our hearts combine...
Discrepancies of our kind...
We play on distant melodies...
Ripping at the seems...
Jovial in our demean...
We remain...
Distant in reveries.

Unspoken Treasures...

Twisted gifts...
Deter my rifts...
Splendor ominous...
Fighting urges...
Delivered in surges...
Veins blistering...
Beatings from feelings...
Screaming in silence...
Mind enlightened by fallacy...
Lies discover truth...
Deceit plummets vines...
Spending time...
Hosting the divine...
Sacred in its endeavor...
Cries gracing pleasure...
Succumbing to the inevitable...
Halting to the unforgivable...
Relentlessly seeking...
All that is worth speaking.

Eternity Concealed

A moment set in time...

Future determined by the heart...

We longed for love...

We dreamt of tonight...

Memories held captive...

Emotions running rampant...

Tidy as they disperse...

Disheveled as they immerse...

Laughter wafting...

Delightful in aroma...

Smiles reflected...

A love undetected...

Embraces laced with longing...

Gazes shining on everlasting passion...

United in eternity. 

Freedom

Stranded...
At the top...
Mountain upstairs...
Words, love, anguish...
No where to go...
No way to release....
Silenced...
Not willingly...
Unable to find peace...
Traffic jam...
Visions collide with thoughts...
Internalizing end results...
Engraving on my soul...
Engraving in my veins...
My organs...
All that is seen...
All that is heard...
More longingly...
All that is desired...
Waiting...
Almost impatiently...
For release...
A moment to know all is well...
To know the pain...
Beyond the pain caused from incision...
Will disipate...
My mind, body, and soul will be free...
Free to breathe, free to speak, free to be.

Spellbound

A sweet sensation brushes my mind...

Sending shivers down my spine.
Rememberance of bare bodies...
Lusciously embracing desires.
Hands lingering in mid-stroke...
Enchantment fills the air.
Mind revels in the delight...

Touch of flesh on flesh.
Hearts pounding, fervently yearning with lust...
His touch lulls me to dust.
Spells casted frolic within...
Inducing my enrapture.
Captured...
Is my heart.
Lost...
Is my mind...
Spellbound by your embrace.

Virtue's Embrace

Whispers of honesty...
No longer heard...
How faintly they arrive...
And quickly they disperse...
Like the tide creeping in...
Then thunderously roaring out...
Your words...
I grasped on to...
Searching for the truth...
What I found was distorted...
Overshadowed by my desire to solicit mistrust...
Burned in my fortune...
Compensation is doubt...
Sedentary is my heart...
That longs for the warmth of your words...
My body aches missing the embrace of virtue.

Destruction At Its Best...

Refrain...
Sustain...
Remain...
Un-drained...
Disdained...
Un-pained...
Faltering...
Exhaulting...
Festering...
Gleefully...
Hurridly...
Gently...
Analyze...
Paralyze...
Atomize.

Cold Shivers, Warmth Delivers

It's 2:46 in the morning...

All I can do is think of you...
As I lay here shivering in the cold...

Teased by the warmth of your spell...

Seconds turn into minutes...
Minutes turn into hours...
Hours turn into days...
Strolling on...
Distant memories...
Only to catch me...
Abruptly...
Securely...
Before I collapse...
To gravity's futile attempts...
Memories safely deposit me...
Where I lay in the warmth...
Basking in the glow of the cool air...
All that is new...
Empowered by all that existed...
Carefree in approach...
Is how I sustain.

Recollection of the Abstract Mind...

Drifting down the lane of memory...
Faulting with lines of symmetry...
Arduously diddling on sentiment...
How can I live with all this regret?
I've asked for solitude...
I've asked for gratitude...
I got lost in my endeavor...
To find forever....
Found my way to the bottom...
Dusted and sodden...
I was all but forgotten...
Curbed by recollection...
Saved in abstraction.

Gateway...

Differences abound us...
Blinding of confusion...
We get caught in the space of time...
Transcend the place in our mind...
Where we find pain in revelry...
Unmasking of unwarranted discovery...
Exploring the depths we've separated...
In attempts to feel wholly...
Coming totally unfolded...
Unraveling the pieces...
Into our thesis...
We call upon this masterpiece...
A fight to the end...
Where no winner will be avenged...
In the story of the mind...
We are all misplaced at the entrance.

Attraversiamo...

Found is where I'm lost...
Lost is where I'm bound...
Simply because I never want to be found...
In this space I commence...
Great sanctuaries...
Peaceful bliss in my pleasantries...
Created out of fantasy...
Journies lead to unkempt sentiments...
My only regrets...
Unfold with uncertainties...
As I forge ahead...
Bottling up the voices...
Overflow with remorse...
Honesty was the alley...
Full of fright...
To my delight...
Obscurity was a lane over...
I look to myself and say...
Attraversiamo...
Slowly and steadily I cross over.

A Place on This Earth...

A place on this earth…
Has my name sketched on its perch.
Dawdle with time…
As I climb this vine.
Rising above…
The distance of love.
A place on this earth…
Has my name etched on its birth.
A journey to find…
What I claim to be mine.
Loses its lust…
As I wipe these cuts.
A place on this earth…
Has my name entrusted in its being.
Bound to my desires…
My heart pounds with fire.
Radiant in heat…
I must never be obsolete.
A place on this earth…
Is where I ground my feet.

Visions of Reality...

Bubble bursts…
Dreams escaped…
Into reality…
We see the purity…
Delightful energy…
Of nature’s beauty…
Mountains surging the skyline…
Provide a sanctuary…
As dew drops glisten the night...
Moon shadows the day...
The universe finds its way…
Guided by the sentiments of unspoken song…
Melodies dance chords of enchantment...
Alluring nurture...
Tendencies of ungratefulness...
Unique in its fatalistic plan...
Sways to the beat of the drum...
Summersaults into gratitude...
With the blink of an eye...
All that was unknown...
Is known. 

Disoriented in Adoration...

If I could pick a moment in time...
I'd stand alone and drink this wine...
Consuming myself...
While believing in yourself...
Differences shade us...
Appearances displace us...
We are what we dream...
Made up of distant fantasies...
We embrace our pleasantries...
Despite our miseries...
We unfold with stability...
Simply because we have visions...
Restoring our reality...
Riveting us with our humanity...
We find sanctity in the bliss...
We often miss...
Stop...
Stand still...
Get lost in time...
Get lost in the fairytale...
Get lost in the moment of moments...
Never attempt to find yourself...
Allow yourself...
To...
Lose itself.

Differences Alike...

Laughter fills the room...

While disparity falls upon us.

We look for the faults...

Only to find the pleasure.

We cry at our blessings...

But find solitude in our mistakes.

Conflict of evil and good...

War between wrong and right.

At the end of it all...

We create a rise and fall.

Which will grant us serenity...

In the demise of our crawl.

Muse Within

A lifetime searching...
Not knowing what I was looking for...
Determined to find happiness...
Love...
Honesty...
Respect...
Admiration...
Walking nimbly in my aimlessness...
Certainty set in...
Path was paved...
Barren of reflections...
Abundant in expectations...
All the while crumbs dwindled pointedly...
Overflowing the ground...
Peaking the stream...
Mind drifts....
Eyes hit the moonlit ripples...
In the distance of the water...
Happiness, love, honesty, respect, and admiration all found...
As the glimmer bounces...
Reflection is caught...
Saving an eternity spent searching...
Simply missing the muse within.

Discovery

Warm, satin kisses...
Gently rest upon my perch...
Drawing me near...
Further from reality...
Deeper into reverie.


Lustfully daydreaming...
Mind-numbing seductions...
Whispering to my soul...
Drunk with emotion...
A spirit rivaling the tempest.


United by our bore...
The night grabs a hold...
Dancing delicately we are...
Through the Gardens of Eden...
Arriving excitedly in each others arms.


Tightly embraced...
Entwined in the present...
No past nor future to scorn the ardor...
Harmony saturates the breeze...
Free to love, free to live, and free to laugh...
Alast we found our breath.

Maze of Distortion

Write on me...
Sweet privileges...
Despairing incentives.
Engrave in me...
Shady willow trees.

Wishing for who you are...

Knowing you've gone to far.

Advantages are mistaken...
But always taken.

Placed inside...

To humble the incision.

Fostering moments...
Dipped in gold.
Tarnished in maturity...
Unveiled in its purity...
Security breached.

No words that were spoken...
Were of wasted notion.
Though falling on deaf ears...
Exaggerated the heart...
Misguided from the start.

Words held in limbo...

Chastised by the maze of distortion.

Apprehension of Words

Words...
We speak...
But never listen.

Words...
We write...
But never read.

Words...
We hear...
But seldom remember.

Words come...
And words will go.

They stumble on meaning...
Perplexing with feeling.

Words...
Arrest us from power...
Surrendering to weaknesses.

Distortions of Forever

Forever...
One word in blissful simplicity...
Conveys meanings of a thousand instances.

Forever...
Leads another to a world full of possibilities...
Where chances are escaped.

Forever...
Collides feverishly into the heart of many...
While penetrating the dead ends of finality.

Forever...
Offers a glimmer of hope in a distant never ending...
Filled with laughter and love.

Forever...
Is meaningless in its approach...
Fulfilling in its delivery.

Forever...
Captures the memory of the past...
Stumbling upon the gleeful memory of the future.

Forever...
Is where I thought we would begin...
And never end.

Until Then...

Closing a door...
Opening a door...
Only to find...
When one door closes...
Another doesn't always open.


Inspiration is flooded...
Flowing freely in the sea...
Sea of knowledge...
To know what is wrong...
But not enough to have the strength to flee it.


Thoughts rumble in the cabin...
Flashing memories of the gleeful times...
Crashing memories of the morose times...
Colliding somewhere in the middle...
Only to fall gracefully into the depths of the night.


Struggling to continue...
Continue on the path...
Path of not knowing...
Knowing when darkness will bring light...
When light will bring laughter.


Until then...
My heart skips a beat...
At the memory of you...
At the memory of us...
At the memory of what could have been.

Tilted Reality

I saw you...
From a distance.

I felt you...
From afar.

I loved you...
When nearby.

I craved you...
In my heart.

I lusted you...
In my dreams.

I captured you...
In my reality.

With You

When the wind blows...
Are you visiting me?
When a bell rings...
Are you saving me?
When a leaf falls...
Are you discovering me?
When rain pours...
Are you crying for me?
When sun shines...
Are you lighting my path?
When laughter rings...
Are you easing my pain?
When the night is cold...
Are you there to warm me?
Where ever you are...
No matter how far...
Am I with you?

Incidents of the Game - Sunday Scriblings

Raspy breath...
Penetrating the core...
Heart catapulted into wonderland.

Eyes lingering...
Sincerity lurching...
Begging for more.

Lips parted...
Sound thwarted...
Mind bewildered.

Time was lost...
Love dwindled...
On Graces' moments.

Door opened...
Heart exited...
Lover's departed.

Show concluded...
Lovers became...
Incidents of the Game.

Dusty Vows

Colored in its wrath…
Remnants of what was passed…
Lingering on the vine…
Moments spared in twine…
Enveloping disregard…
Shielded by shards…
Disconnected by scars…
Thorned roses…
Healing wounds…
Perfumed the heart...
Sparse in its delight...
Vows shadowed by the night.

Mystery is the Misery!

Scarred...
Outer area red...
Burning...
Inner area blackened...
Tarnished...
Invigorating depths...
Pain...
Everlasting in sounds reverberations...
Screams...
Reminisces of pictures...
Radiance...
Bathes in the darkness.

Battle of inner and outer...
Convector of love and hate...
All things dissipate...
Into a misery that is a mystery.

Earth's Graves

Time stops...
Soul freezes...
Caught in limbo...
Bracing the fall...
Night air swept...
Crashing through me...
Cushioning heart...
Black in life
Lite in death...
Lost to purity...
Crying breeds infurity...
All this mystery...
Graves unearthed...
Placing heart...
In the hands of the earth.

Forever Gone

All too often...
We have forgotten...
The elements drawing us near...
We have feared...
We have danced...
We have loved...
Unconditionally...
Upon one condition...
My heart shall never be broken...
Shattered into pieces...
Mind, body, and soul...
Departed this bottle...
Vase flung to the waves...
Rolling over in graves...
Ghosts dispersed...
Disparaging truth in night's dawn...
Is our love forever gone?

Hidden Treasures

Transparent in space...

Memories drift afloat...

Distant in time...

Love flowed like wine...

Bodies embraced...

Fluid entwined...

One kiss...

And he was all mine.

Fingers dancing...

Lucid in motion...

Fervent in touch...

Along the curve of my thigh...

Peaking forbidden fruit...

Lustfully discovering...

Emotions running rampid...

Heart burns with desire.

Pounding steadily...

Senses readily...

Awaiting to be submerged...

Wrapped in ardor...

Senses obliterated...

Temptation peaked...

Gracefully knowing...

Life's hidden treasures. 

Lost in Guidance

Blinded...
As the sun rises...
Deafened...
As hearts' drum...
Stunted...
As souls' bleed...
Agony...
Persistent in the depths...
Tolls mercilessly beating...
My very being...
Patience misleading...
Guiding aimlessly...
To...
The...
Point...
Of...
No...
Return.
