Even Roses Die

My grandma Rose
May have died
But she’s really still alive
Still here on earth
Still breathing out
In her own way

Inside my heart

I wish the Universe
Could say
Not at this time
This one’s not mine

But her hands were needed
For gardening the skies
Expressing thoughts
In clouds floating by

Propagating love

It makes no sense
How I could be
Here on earth without you
Experiencing life
When life has always been
About you

Honest intention
Simple truth
Big imagination

It seems impossible
That I could be zoetic
Waking everyday
Without your words prophetic
Without your physical presence
And yet I’m here building
The life I never
Thought that I could build
Which tells me that
Your essence is
Completely
All around me

Your blood is light

I could never do this
Without you…

Yes even roses die
But they return
Nature is unending
As is your spirit
Climbing through
The concrete cracks
Your love is sending
Me the messages I need
In every step
In every day
I know without a doubt
Your heart is always with me

Will You

Will you be my love?

We only have one life
With these eyes to see

What we want to see
What do you want to see?

Will you share my heart?

Love what we want to love
Live how we want to live
Be what we want to be

Unforgettably

Prospect of a blue sky
Plunging towards love

No greater downfall hath love
Than to have no love at all

With you

On the Days

I ponder on the days
When I will no longer
Look at my body
In the mirror
I will see my spirit
Reflecting in a pool of energy
And it will not reflect skin but light
And I will not see a mirror but a star
Echoing frequencies in my mind
That resound in the color
Of love

Eagle

I am the eagle
That has fallen
In the front lawn
Of some innocent observer
With one working wing

A beautiful display
An ornate wingspan
But do not try and make me
A trophy or a treasure
For your den to display

When a single golden tear
Falls from my eye
A sun cry
It is in this very moment
That I find I’m still alive

And as I try
Test my breadth
Ask myself to fly
Yes even with one wing
You can feel my
Heartbeat
Fluttering

As my beak
Meets your beak

Static shock
Aviary energy
We could be nesting
But instead of resting

I’ll be the eagle
That has fallen
On the front lawn
Of your home
It could be anyone
But it is you
Your maison
Observing me
Giving me life

Rebuilding
With one wing
Willing to sing
My other wing
Willing to fly
When I see you
I realize

Four wings are stronger
Than two

Devil Crossed

The devil crossed the nine of wands
Chained to negatives alas
In desert country
Even cuffed in brass
Probes against resilience
Kicking up the courage
Was his test of faith
In a dark unholy bath

Seven swords of past betrayal
A king of intellectual power
Pages written for a novel army
Outcomes plague the midnight hour

Popularity contest for six
As the pentacles approached
The magician made a chariot
Fit with horses ten fold forth

Expand the feathers

Silence speaks a thousand words
A magic wand can say much more
The battle between angels
Happening on a hellbent floor

Fire and smoke
Can blind the best intentions
Without a rope the tug of war
Has no tension to resolve
A wicked trance an oozing sore

The serpent slides along the sand
The hierophant calls judgement too
There are good and bad folks out there
How will the shield protect the truth?

In love and death

Some will use the blade for light
Some will use the quill for dark
Watch the clock of these behaviors
When the magic hour stops

It’s a jungle out there!

All illusions will dissolve
Fall away unveil the star
Bright of hope above the slope
Machette through the Amazon
Pluck the forest of deceit
Absolve the personalities
Seeking the roots
That always supplicate
Pure love

Undone

I said I was done
In my dreams to you
It took everything
In me to get it out

I yelled
But I barely had any
Voice left to express
A chord less shout

Still I heard myself say

Let whatever
Makes you dark and dull
Be gone

Even if people criticize you
And say that you are wrong

Right

I was right about you
Perhaps you were wrong about me
We cannot love
What we resent

How many pieces
Can I fall apart into

Enough to love you with my dear

How many teachings
Can I open my mind to

Enough to grow with you my dear

Why do we have to
Pull away to be seen?
What does the word
Comparison mean

To you?

There is something
About the way
That you look
At me

With such beauty
And intensity
It makes me want to
say my words differently
To you-

Why does it seem
That all the upset
Is just useless

Bootless is the journey
Walked in barren dreams
It’s fruitless to be
Futile when we can be
Complete

Out Loud

Across the sky watch it burn
Like the horizon, the last breath
Moving on from holding out
Like a shot beyond the past
From the gun your life is holding

Letting go of everything that has
Held you back from understanding
The power that resounds
Deep in the banquet of your heart
Sifting through the darker parts

Breathe it out
Cast the darkness of your past
Into a beautiful oblivion
You are standing on the ground
Of an incredible awakening

A constellation of stars in the shape
Of the sound of your love
Use your tongue now
And speak it
Out loud

Love Gust

If someone doesn’t love you
The way that you love them
You still have power to love them
Even if they’re not your friend

Concentrate on true love deeply
Close your eyes and breathe love in
Make a request to soften heartbeats
Then blow love out into the wind

Something With You

Something free
Someone smiles
Somewhere elsewhere
Sometimes your face
Lights up my heart
Like light through a window

Take off the socks lover
Give me a droplet
Of your mortal light

Maybe you will dazzle
My face red when you take something off
Share your clothes with the ground

The walls will not speak
Shut the door
Open your mouth

Your window gives back the sun
Matches light our uncontrollable fire
Our hearts catch fire
Slip under the sheet
Wake up with me
A new person

Four Days

It’s been four days
And seventeen hours
And thirty-two minutes
And fifty three seconds

Since I saw you last
Since I checked the hourglass

Where was my mind then?
What did we feel?
Beside you I lay
Nothing left to conceal

A halo between us
This luminous crown
The space interim cannot see us
We have nothing left to be found

Merciful
