Invitation

She teased and twisted and bent her knees,
Gave me a glance that said 'Come and get me please.'
She smiled and flirted and cringed her brow
Almost saying 'Don't waste time, hurry to me now.'
I tried to step back back but almost in vain
As her angelic curse lured me in, yet again.

Shadow

My shadow
Has some serious doubts
About whether
It’s worth coming everywhere about,
About whether
I’m good company,
About whether
Of me, she can be free.
She asked me twice,
Am I free to go?
I said do as you please,
I don’t know.
It sure as hell
Broke my heart
But what can I say
When we’re torn apart.
So I bid her farewell
Into a world of her own
Where there’s abundance
And her identity is born.

A zillion emails to run through

A million meetings to get through

A thousand deliverables to deliver

A hundred questions to uncover

 

Hitting me fast one by one

Jet speed thoughts can be no fun

Responsibilities on this tiny frame

A wild cat gone tame

 

Feel the burden over my shoulder

Life is filed away in a box folder

Yet the thought of you makes me smile at things

Feel uplifted like an angel with a new set of wings

 

If one were to look in the deep dark afar

They’d see nothingness

But I’d see you

My shinning lil star.

One too many ways to fall in love

 

Sitting by the shore

Playing with the sand

Watching the grains slip through your hand

Simple lessons in letting go

Plunging deep in what you do not know.

 

Watching the surfer

Rule the wave

Enjoying his glide

He's got much to rave.

 

As it gets windy

He comes crashing down

Like a de-robed king

No head, nor crown.

 

Fickle moments of joy

The pain that comes with falling

The raving surfer

Turns into a creature so appalling.

 

Tears say

He's in a lot of pain

Yet when asked the forbidden question

Says he would do it all over again.

Muse

Sleepless night, I lie awake
hop out of bed to come to you
to look at you once again and be sure
that I know myself and what I see.

 

 

Confidence well defined
you walk away tall in a herd
no shackles to tie you down
within ties you're free as a bird.

 

 

No garments to make you feel ashamed
No tresses nor mane
Wrapped in skin and all that holds you together
No burdens of even your creator.

 

 

Love your spark, love your shine
Love the energy that makes you mine
Even if for this one moment alone
I hold you in sight, in my mind I take you home.
