Nomadic Heart

The chill of your heart seeps through to my bones leaving me frigid 

My heart is not wooden 

I will not die while I'm living 

I reach out craving the feeling  of you 

My hand falls through the empty dead space 

dread fills my heart

Stop holding on so tight to hate 

Just let yourself be held 

aren't you tired of running..

my arms can hold you still

fill you with meaning 

It's the simple things that

Create the good things 

let my warmth thaw the frost surrounding you and 

my love will wrap around your heart

Set those vagabond feet still

and wandering will be no more..

Above All Else

Revenge..

What is its' purpose

so aggressive in its' silence

Poisoning us to the core 

So loud in its' destructive ways

Mutilating souls from the inside out..

Silently dulling our senses 

Until we no longer see 

We no longer hear 

We no longer feel 

We are no longer real

giving us hearts of steel.

Fight against it.. 

Resist

Don't say you can't 

But of course you can 

you will find a way out

walk through it until you own it 

find the freedom of being present here&now

And not looking behind or to be ahead 

It's now that counts.. The rest is gone or not quite here

love the simple of the moment

That is what makes life so grand.. the complex simple 

The ugly beautiful - the pain bearable..

Bitter should never take root in your beautiful heart 

let life explode within it..

Running Free

Full of life and love in the liveliest of ways

gradually percolating through me until you filled each pore of my heart 

filling me with an expectant energy 

exuberant animated alive

Your heart is speaking loud

even in your absence 

my heart is flying 

It can't be contained

I find you in my waking hours 

I feel you in my slumber 

All we are is true 

from beginning to end 

A day like today-once upon a time-defined us 

creating such truth that love would never be the same 

You were designed to inspire and awaken my soul

With each word we became us 

I'll always think of you as me  forever to be

memories alone will get us through 

Chasing the dream that I see

My heart is running free 

as it should be..

Broken Mind

clenching so tight her hands hurt

every muscle tense as perspiration bubbled on her soft pale skin

she gasped, as she realized the battle was done 

The long hard struggle was no more..

Breathing in deeply, she fell to her knees collapsing in tears..

Her tired mind no longer racing, the turmoil silenced..

She tried putting thoughts together; 

wondering how she'd ever breathe again..

She wanted to

She wanted to try but all she could do was cry

She told herself to move, to leave it all behind

But without him, there was no place to go..

She couldn't fathom the unthinkable 

The dark night beckoned her with promises untold

Closing her eyes, her hands fell open as her face softened..

Her soul gave way to the dark night 

What had begun was done..

Numb no more..

Tender whispers of love thundering through me

I hear it trying to break through

Tears rolling gently down my face as they silently splash the floor.. 

There is no anger, no rush, no push, nor condemnation in these emotions.. Just the sweetest tug of assurance that life is awaiting..

encouraging me to leave behind the fear that binds and chokes so tightly 

The whispers & tears delicately wrapping around me ever so tenderly 

determined to draw me back into life 

Until they uncover my heart from the dark shadows that have numbed it..

More Than Me

Yesterday no more..

Death has been my constant companion for many a days now 

flirting with my mind 

taunting me

Trying to spin around me like a spider webbing his victim..

cloaking me with fear

I battle through 

Death won't take me 

It shakes me 

It wakes me 

But will never break me..

Death can't own me 

I've been set free

I'll face my trepidations with courage for I know I'll grow..

understanding not all things are easy to accept 

while some things are worth dying for..

I have no control so I'm letting go 

I'm not behind me 

nor in front 

I'm right here right now - in the present - this is the moment that counts 

I will live it like I mean it while I can 

because life is more than me..

Truly Madly

Transformed 

I've been utterly and wonderfully changed 

You sustain the rhythms of my heart

It's all swirly and you let it fly 

You allowed me to reveal myself 

live myself 

love myself 

I've lived in dark so long

Never knew my own worth or inner strength 

You let me in to discover me 

breaking down all illusions I died in

Metamorphosed me

creating a riot in my heart 

it's a wonderful world 

an incredible adventure to be wildly mad with you..
