This Life…

A light
between two darknesses,
Positive momentum,
Secrets of a soul
revealed.
Awake
between two sleeps.
Apprenticeship,
in consciousness
ignites.
A song
between two silences.
Can you hear the longing?
A poet’s lament
echoes.
A breath
between two holdings.
No need to reason,
no questions asked, just
revel.
A moment
between two beyonds.
Can you hear the call?
Eternal Mother’s voice
haunts.
This life,
this wondrous, luminous flash.
A sojourn
till we return to the Source
Divine.

Dreaming

In the deepest pool of silence,
I hear your heartbeat
against my breast.
In the darkest corner of the night,
your gentle caress
soothes my soul.
In the heart of a rose,
I dream of loving you.
Intoxicated by its deep fragrance,
we create an entire universe
of perfect longing.
Motionless,
I stand in a sea of dreams,
not daring to move,
lest stirrings awaken me.

Wild Dance

Wild, dance.
Wild dance.
Dance wild.
Dance on,
The path unfolds,
leading to byways that invite you to enter.
Stay awhile,
live a lesson, and rest a little.
But do not stay too long,
for your journey has just begun.
Your tears are jewels,
your fear is also your faith.
Be cool in mind and spirit,
for the love you seek
lines the paths that beckon.
What is yours to [...]

Alive!

In my skin or out of it,
astral dance
of creation and destruction.
Be bold, brazen,
Alive!
Push forth frontiers, and past
yies that blind,
safety nets and complacency seatbelts.
Jump out, plunge in
to the cosmic web.
So many strings
your mind has created –
undo them all to free yourself.
Step out of yourself
and be bold, outraegeous, alive!
Examine everything
but not with an analytical mind alone.
Be awed, [...]

Depression

In between sleep and awake,
darkly stealing into unchartered space.
You seduce them with deceptive warmth,
forms adrift in a sea of black.
Unwanted, unloved, disconnected, estranged
souls seeking solace, spirits dampened by despair.
Your hands reach into heavy hearts
squeezing out pain and joy,
leaving only silence.
Lady of the Dark, Mistress of Void,
you promise nothing, you take all.
Recruiting ravaged souls
into your empire [...]

The Terrible In-Between

The narrative
of what lies before
carries me
through angst-filled nights.
Who I was is now
the raft I’m clinging to
on the stormy sea
of the future.
Dark Sister
vengefully storming,
guised as friend
but more a foe?
I am holding on
to archaic imperatives
urging surrender,
promising comfort and safety.
Can the known
be the arrow that flies into
landscape of the future,
or is destiny the carrier?
To hold on
is to resist [...]

The Embrace

In between the moments of my life, they emerge
from the cracks in the wall of my denial,
The images, the emotions,
Of loving and dying, tantalized and tortured
by the taste of forbidden fruit,
Unspoken and unnamed.
Standing bewildered in the dim moonlight,
underneath towering cedars….
 
Lady Night beckoned with her call,
Sprinkling magic amidst fragrances intoxicating.
The embrace, the kiss,
Of forces unknowable, divine [...]

Blue Circle

Blue circle,
The secret, silent chambers or my soul.
Beckoning for my return
to its watery bosom.
To ancient soul songs,
pulsing life,
driving me to rapture
once again.
I have waited for you, she says.
My child, my heart.
I will soothe your wearied bones,
protect your innocence
and fragile love.
Come home,
And stay a while.
Lie back,
Rest your deep old self
against my comforting [...]

Despair

When despair for the world grows in me,
I go into the secret, silent chambers
of my soul.
My blue circle,
within which watery depths prevail.
Where rivers run wild and fierce,
and soul-tears are wept
with thunderous cries.
I sit and stare into the blue waters,
and I am replenished by gossamer spirits,
Consoled and cajoled
back to life,
back to hope and courage.
My home is [...]

The Beat

Music alive with spirit,
Spirit thickening blood
with its vitality.
Drum beats echo heartbeats,
Pulsing life
that is youth.
Tap with me,
rap with me.
Behold my world
desperate for salvation;
The music is our vision of hope.
Is mastery of life a promise or a dream?
Do not forsake us
because you do not understand us.
Souls are rocked and soothed
within thundering sounds
 of primal rhythms, ancient pulse.
Some things [...]
