Unparalleled Angel

I read your magnetizing words

twas an awakening to harmony

sweet singing of morning birds

and in your finest works of art

I found myself enamored with

the depths of your precious heart

to witness you just being you

is to see a beautiful sculpture

carved until magnificence is

unearthed, revealed, uncovered

see, your spirit has this great habit

of simply living, yes, that's it

everything you do, that's your magic

and I, I get entangled in you, your

way with language, it's poetry

in motion, prolific as any sea,

deeper blue than any ocean

you move me, you illuminate me

with your fullmoons, darkness and stars

uniqueness of you, of who you are

special, priceless, irreplaceable

in my eyes, my world, unparalleled

knowing you is to be blessed

with the ever-presence of an angel

Flow State

suspended notes drift

through space

spectacular orbs of honeyed

sunlight burning though

loneliness, isolation

a haloed warmth

echoes through

my body

splashing energy

awakening stilled corners

with eyes closed, I absorb

a riverbed of colors

gravitating oracles

motions of tender memory

tinted jade

& streaked magenta

how they stain

my feelings' tongue

infusing hopeful breaths

with generosity,

infinite love

oh, that I might linger here

held between these columns

elevating rhythms

captivated beneath a forest

of stars so vast my mind

cannot conceive their origins

nor their destinations

I am no longer standing

in the present, but timeless

a particle enveloped

in each pulsating droplet

transformed into snowflakes

soaking your face

can you feel my love?

Prompt: channeling creativity and love that words can commit hearts to feelings of gratitude and hope for the coming year

for all of my haters

who think they're hot shit

and tempt me to fall

to the levels they sit

I have just one thing

that I want to say

thanks for your time

but this isn't your day

you don't get to tell me

what I can write

or censor my words

to be more polite

I'm not tryna be

whoever you think

so just kiss my ass

and watch what you drink

Fighting for air.

2020 will be remembered as the year America couldn't breathe.

We watched, helped even, as a smog of hate descended on our politics.

"Just a few more years," we told ourselves.

So we began to take a knee.

Some on a football field.

Some on the necks of another.

Some lost their jobs.

Some lost their humanity.

And still we held our breath.

We watched, denied even, as a disease began to choke our people.

"It's not that bad, just a few more months," we told ourselves as we took shelter.

Some stayed home.

Some didn't care.

Some lost their jobs.

Some lost their lives.

And still we held our breath.

Finally, we watched, cried even, as those sworn to protect took innocent lives.

And we woke up, took a breath, and were horrified to find ourselves choking on teargas.

"I can't breathe," became the slogan of a people outraged.

We took to the streets, looking for answers, and we found brutality.

We all stand, whether we know it or not, on one side of a riot shield, or the other.

Choose.

Because we can't hold our breath forever.

It was cold here this winter. Frost stuck in my bones. I trapped myself in a box of doubt just trying to stay alone.

The thermostat has been broken. Stuck at thirty degrees. And because I'm drawn to anger, everyone always leaves.

But when spring comes and the leaves bloom will I know what to do with myself? Will I open up the windows and let the winter out?

With the grass green and birds chirping will I notice all the bloom? Or will I trample though all the fields I'm drawn to? Or will I stay stuck in my room?

Spring can be my open door.

I've gotten used to myself. And that smothering darkness I've learned well. It's like a heavy blanket that I cling to. It's scratchy on the surface, but it's a feeling that I know. And knowing what you know brings sick comfort even if knowing what you know keeps you cold.

And change brings uncertainty. And uncertainty brings change. A cycle of expectations lost. Day dreams, even if deranged.

So when spring comes and the sun warms, will I let it hit my face? Or will I shrivel up by myself and whisper the lie "I'm ok".

When you call me and ask me if I need anything will I give you my honest response or keep lying through my teeth?

Spring time can be the answer to my cold.

Spring can be my open door.

Midnight Moonlight

I poured a warm mug of magic

midnight moonlight

beautiful illuminations

shimmering mystical and bright

slipped into my... soft dreams

as I slowly sipped...

the sweetness of this moment

swept through my body and soul

as I watched the water sparkling in gold

closed my eyes so I could see

these poetic visions

a higher power has planned for me

another plane of existence

that lives and breathes outside

our daily, earthly reality;

we only see magic when we believe

so, I pour another warm mug of...

...and sip on my dreams

The Reason

changing skies, changing tides

time always exists in the now

current moment, current season

love will always be the reason

life simply tastes sweeter

this way

I wander to faraway edges

but never away

from the center core

where hearts intertwine

darkness recedes to light

morning awakens from night

you and I will forever be alright

This Path I Walk/Ghost Trails

I traipse ghost trails...

wander sublime, hungry

vines of a dark, skeletal garden

haunted, shadowy boneyard

amid veils of distant, foggy memories

gripping me like a true-crime

novel filled with fateful events

tales revealed under a full blue moon

shift my spiritual energy

find myself...

...essentially saying goodbye

old searching souls realigning

all resistance releasing...

expanding in this season of preparation

where scorpio sun meets taurus moon

an intensity of earth and sky aligns

and I believe...

a dramatic breakthrough will shine

through Illuminating the spiritual world

raptures of angels will soar

god will send me everything I need

to survive, to thrive, to rise

transcend from this garden of thorns

that pierces my skin

makes me bleed...

the blood of everyone I've ever...

lost whose love I bare at all cost

ghosts I hold high

...my keepers, my guardians, my heroes

it's for their flowing love

I walk this path I walk

Collective Heart

we are one, not two, not

separate but united

one spirit, one love

kindred amid sacred law,

unspoken rules

no need for formalities

no need for verification

our breath, our blood,

our brethren

flow and run as one

held together in words

in action, in manifest

destiny, stitched

together at the seams

of a wondrous heart

a spirit beyond deep

a soul seeking home

poets, artists, creatives

eager to express

feelings that repress

emotions that digress

thoughts that coalesce

from one collective heart

New Moon Sky

once we were stars

nestled in the crook of dreams

we knew the taste of paradise

blanketed beneath indigo sleep

once we turned to dust

vaporized by winter's bitterness

we knew our lives never would

reclaim love's iridescent bloom

blighted in the curse of early frost

for love would

never be anything but lost

for us

tarnished

turned to rust

lover's alchemy

consumed you and me

fireworks explode

excite before falling into

nothingness

bleakness of a new moon

sky night of darkness

if only love left us something

to harness

from our silver comet's

fitful sparks

descending

you/and/I

into a pasquinade

of feelings

consumed to ash

a cooling spire

of love's forgetfulness

leaving the past in the past

I guess

until one fateful future day

in the herafter

we'll be reintroduced

in death

Another Sunday, Funday cowrite!! It's so great for creatives to push through endeavors that push us out of our usual patterns of approach and the comfort zone we often remain in while crafting new art 🙃

Born to Be (A Winner)

toss aside explanations

walk with your head held high

live with your actions

think with your heart

allow the wisdom of your intuition

...to be your primary guide

for our spirits are wise

and our souls run deep

no need for other's opinions

tell them those are theirs to keep

because the future is bright

and you shine like the sun

unleash your unique self

showoff that leader inside

...to everyone

you've got nothing to prove

everything to gain

open yourself up to keep on growing

keep on going, keep on rowing

and you'll never lose

because you were born to be a winner

yes, that's who you're meant to be

Spiritual Awakening

we meet where

introspections and internalizations

mirror reflections at the water's edge

where the beauty that

we see, we are

the joy we share

a beacon of our inner happiness emanating

in the realization

that the love we share

defines the love, we are

at one with peace, solace

and the amenities of serenity

here in the present

our entire existence

paints itself in hues of now

shades and colors

of our lives

a spiritual awakening

brilliance of all the magic we discover

wisdom we uncover

heart's destiny

Do you ever feel

that there is a greater story

living inside you than the one

you wake up to

each day,

one richer,

more prismatic,

where you can dress

in your bohemian voice,

open oak paneled doors

once denied you,

become all the radiant

seasons speckled

in russets

& autumn golds,

pale peonies,

& Titanium whites?

Do you ever imagine

the mirror's reflection

as the real you

standing beyond your

mind's limitations?

What would it take

to awaken

on the opposite

side of your thoughts,

to dream in excess

& possibility beyond

the confines of this

reality to a world

where you become

all that you dare imagine?

Luminary Fires

in the tapestry of my fantasy

you traveled down the ladder

traversed the milky way galaxy

landed in my star-filled balcony

funny how love has no gravity

yet its pull pulls you back to me

draws you into my sanctuary

and even if it's only temporary

this dream is anything but ordinary

and that's what's so extraordinary

about our imagination and poetry

we ignite luminary fires knowingly

intuitively, uncontrollably

Delicacy of my Soul

(A Return to Happiness)

you come to me...

...like a vulnerable flower

delicate lily... of the valley

tears from the garden

beauty of eden

second coming,

a return to happiness

humility, purity, sweetness

indelible mother,

my beautiful, wild rose

your magnificent complexion,

pink petals of fragrant perfection

delight, enchant, mesmerize

mine to cherish,

never to own;

I will hold you...

your innermost roots

deep in the delicacy of my soul,

a joy I've rarely known
