hallelujah

a poet's playground, evocative muse

in the scheme
of things
there is nothing wrong
with wanting to be loved
but no one does
yet everyone feels the same

suddenly doing the dishes
isn’t so lonely any more
finding
taking the trash out
not a chore

in the back of the mind
a choir sings
some repetitive song
hallelujah
the heart bends
hallelujah
the heart bleeds
hallelujah
the heart breaks
hallelujah
love is not a victory march

it is the battle
waged upon ourselves

seeking
searching
scouring

when all along
it is there
hallelujah

the kiss

i love when
you call
my name
it’s like
the wind whispering
on a hot summer eve
the sun close to set
the water
calm
blue
serene
sucking me into
ecstasy
feeling
drowned
in the quenching drink
handed to me
feeling
the ice
touch my lips
and
the kiss
to warm them

i love when
you call
my name
leaving the point
unsaid
smiling
laughing
hugging
instead of
needless banter
bringing me
a taste
from the sea
the salt
sticking everywhere
and
the kiss
that cleanses

i love when
you call
my name
just before
the room light
dims
the sheets cold
but
not within
the dreams
that hold
each to other
discovering
relishing
the kiss

stop being afraid

January 24, 2011
a poet's playground, reflective healing

run into the arms
of peace
and out of the tanglements
of fear
clearing the cobwebs
that stick
to the mind
seeking
an openness
non- judgmental
finding your soul
is not lost
just took the day off
finding it
relaxing
with the others
who too
needed
a bit of solitude

looking for an answer
won’t find it here
it is buried
somewhere within the heart
but
do you know the question
pry open
your mind
nothing is out of reach
fearing obstructs
seek a response
it echoes your heart’s desires
in the moment
of clarity
no longer search
see
feel
breathe

greatness

January 20, 2011
a poet's playground, reflective healing

greatness came yesterday
when anger left the room
clearing a space for vision
leaving doom to fend alone

the magnitude of truth
finally fills the air
not forgetting
rather tucking away
despair
gloom

taking a long
slow inhale
exhaling a sigh
that has no hurt

taking stock
that rainy days are fun
staying wrapped in a robe
sipping something warm
clearing the mind
of cobwebs
and things that should be left behind
waiting
for the sun
to break a dull day
waiting for
the radiance
that casts off shadows

greatness came yesterday
greatness
stayed

creation

January 1, 2011
a poet's playground, evocative muse

:)……. often & a lot – from the heart…………..

laugh until tears roll
let your pulse beat at a faster rate
then gently let go
of me
yet always holding
a yearn
no need to turn
the other cheek
for the wisdom sought
caught
in
shared thoughts that bind
intertwining webs
the threads bear the weight
creation
a relation

instead
of fighting facts
finding fiction to be an addiction
don’t let go
hold on to the 1 truth
felt somewhere under the heart

step back
but not from me
step back
view clearly

the tracks set
in the snow

left by 2
(not yours alone)

another new year’s eve

December 30, 2010
a poet's playground, alternate avenues

another new year’s eve
the task
taking a look back
leaving a smile
imprinted on memories
some warming
some to be forgotten
lessons of living
lessons of forgiving

taking time
to hold on to ideals
throwing perfection aside
sharing kindness
caressing caring
holding
hugging
loving

finding 1’s inner-self
is only a miniscule fraction
of the universe

we may part
as friends
our ties are taut
friendship never ends

on any day
of any year
hold those
who’s ties are dear

on every day
of every year
in this heart
you’re held

another
new year’s eve
raise your glass
toast to the past
make way
a new day
a new year
