Let the pen flow..

thoughts are.. can be 

a gift, a guilty pleasure, a friend 

Bringing to light forgotten blessings 

Hidden treasures 

Things dreamed of..

thoughts are sometimes a foe

releasing things buried 

Things unknown fears pain uncertainties..

Complex emotions ideas become our thinking 

becoming our muse..

love hate happiness anger strength power fear weaknesses..

Revealing the beauty of the human mind and all its' worth..

No matter the emotions evoked 

Or how much time passes in between writings

passion shared through writing is beautiful 

food for the soul 

And 

I fall in love with it every time my hand gives in to the pen..

Entangled

Just the thought of you 

Takes me back 

When I see your face it stands me still 

searing through to my soul..

Safely nestled deep within your cocoon of love i was..

Until it disintegrated into dirt and dust 

evaporating into the abyss..

Didn't I leave it all behind 

on my way to new beginnings..

Oh I could fall again so easily 

Memories coming alive 

Your touch your feel 

All to real

entrapping my heart like prey

So painful to be 

entangled in your snare..

So good at spinning that web you are

Wrapped so tight 

Devouring me at will

I lost sight 

though I may wear scars that bleed 

I found my way out 

And see clearly now 

your silken threads..

P

Veiled Eyes

Let me see what I choose to see

Believe what I want 

Feel what I feel 

It is real alive consuming 

if only for a moment 

It's my fire

Let it burn

slow & painful or

wild out of control 

A fire is still a fire 

snuffing out life..

Is it worth it?

a river of delight 

That I might live

A heart of laughter 

Joy captured 

Troubles miles away

It is worth every second moment & hour..

rearranging my heartstrings 

playing a new melody

don't stop the music

heart is singing 

Soul is dancing..

you&me existing

in my shrouded eyes..

Changing Winds..

To want him like him love him

was altogether wonderful..

needing him

Well.. That takes her breath away

Suffocating the truth can be..

never knowing the pain of such loneliness 

heart slamming the wall

slowly painfully covering every inch as it shatters 

Into shards so fine 

She can't feel it..

questioning the existence of it..

Fierce Winds keep blowing bits&pieces of that love every which way 

So scattered weather-beaten

It vanishes into thin air 

She trips about grasping for remnants of that sweet love..

It leads to no where

As if it never was..

It's time 

A moment that defines her

Courageously 

She takes a deep breath 

trying to fill up her hollow heart..

Too many holes as she realizes 

They never were..

Love Trippin...

A high She can't seem to come down from

Though heights frighten her..

So much unknown to wrestle with

Though Afraid - she keeps following what is Known

the only thing that matters..

Connected hearts living out what they know 

What they feel 

Moment by moment coloring in that elusive rainbow 

in their own way 

Their own time..

Each shade a different story 

Each smile unearthing a special moment

Hundreds of them

telling a life story

One that could only belong to her&him he&she them..

Couldn't do it Alone

No words left to speak

No words needed..

A canvas of his love

With all its' messy wonders 

is painted all over her heart..

Ignited Bones

day in day out 

clock always moving 

with much the same..

No better no worse really..

No man's land 

We can almost forget we exist there 

Until we can't 

that ever-present familiar angst rolling over us again 

We are grateful for these moments I tell myself..

yet waiting hoping 

hungry and anxious for better days 

Can Feel like no one is listening 

The days are not miserable 

Only hard..

Crushing to watch him bear it all 

He aches to wake whole

We ache with him for him..

Watching him fight for 

Yearn for normal life..

disruptive uncomfortable physically and emotionally..

While i watch helplessly 

No saving no rescuing..

He goes it alone moment by moment in his mind..

Never really alone 

Love fuels his weary bones 

While he searches for energy to do more than survive..

Without flinching 

Even in the thick Of crazy 

Though he trips

Arms of love grab him

Right back up he goes

moving forward

Refusing the dark 

never giving up 

Always believing 

Always hoping 

He finds his purpose in the moment 

Falling back into life and loving what's before him..

Out of the Dark

Always 

Love them

Hold them close 

This is what it's all about 

Moments in the soul..

Shared&treasured

Sought after cared for needed..

So worth giving 

It all comes back 

Seen & unseen

Spoken &Unspoken 

It stays with them..

And for that moment 

You changed their heart 

Their mind their soul

Giving them all they didn't know they needed..

You've strewn a light across their path

Who knows what tomorrow brings 

Who cares

It's happening now 

Make it count 

You're in the Worthwhile moments 

Maybe just maybe 

they fight a little harder 

Hanging on a little tighter 

Shutting out doubts believing their worth 

Letting go of fear 

Feeling the magic in the fire 

and the wonder in everything they see..

Loved Her Scars..

His love roared 

Louder than her tears

Softening her fears

Drowning out the demons that clawed at her..

until they lost their grip on her heart..

Tattered no more 

The beat of his heart

covering her

The breath of his love enveloping her

Healing her

Nourishing her soul..

filling her mind as she grasped her frailties and fears did not make up the sum of her..

little did she know they only added to the magic of her 

A heart so real so raw

You could not help but love her..

He knew she only needed a glimpse of true love's light..

A love so bright 

It would vanish the hurts that buried her heart mind and soul 

He chose to love her in ways she never knew

He loved her scars..

She chose to believe

The desires of her heart set free

never to walk it alone again..
