notes of piano strumming through my soul
uplifting soaring vibrating my heart
such glorious spiraling sensations
emotions rawly exposed in C sharp
defenseless, riding passion’s every wave
songs of you sweeping me ever higher
exquisite pain in joy so deeply felt
and in that moment, I just need you now
crashed into longing, each note sad tremors
Lady Antebellum stuck in my throat
And I dont know how I can do without…
yet, rather hurt than feel nothing at all Continue reading
I do not want to die unseen
untouched by heart and soul through eyes
for life without is naught but mean
a torment of our unheard cries
conditioned by the cultures of mankind
we stumble certain of such fate
I walk most days as if I’m blind
and though I pause to stop and wait
for friend or foe or stranger’s gaze
they pass me by in sidelong glance
as time ticks by to end my days
I beseech you please take the chance
of remaining here in our love’s embrace
where my eyes seen shine and my heart does race
heart opened by your perfectly fit key
secret doors and chambers clickety clacked
revealing kaleidoscopic pulsing colors
of pure joy radiantly unleashed
beaming swirling dancing liquid flows
washing us, enveloping us, taking us
yearnings of belonging dissolved
into blessed belovedness
eyes closed remembering
being in your arms, held, home
part and counterpart

I think the age of 140 keeps me in forms simpler like the Haiku. thinking constrained / syllables of five, seven / you require more #Haiku So please indulge me, my first Sonnet since Moby Dick was a Guppie. It fails the test of Meter pure… Was trying to get the volta to be at the end, which I did. :)
Please feel free to offer encouragement, advice, examples of what you’ve done. I also get conflicted and want to write in olde english, probably not a good idea, so help me with that too! Attempt 0 below… Continue reading
We talk of Colorado
majestic skies
friendly people
and running
I can see it in her eyes
haunting the edges
memories of gracefully gliding on trails
her heart, still with a mountain view
I delight in you /
Your very name is Joyful /
Sun Salutations
Words
glistening with purity
calling you, taking you Continue reading
I’ve told you that I love you
tossed out there, casually
like I love coffee
which I do.
but how can you really “know” if I do not tell you? Continue reading
