sun was pulling silver shape beneath the constellations
gently somewhere screaming
as it rose to its feet upon the purple mountaintops,
the wind roared on the horizon with lighter sky
where the moon would rise dying limp with yellow night.

RapeThere is something hideously clever
about watching television outside.
It is possibly the ultimate defiance.

Over there, rebels have flipped off officials,
they have fornicated with machines
and they have worn shirts like flags.

But here, revolutionaries have
ripped the binding dress off of mother earth
they have stuck their thirsty tongues
in the magnetic air of steel and wind
and they have swallowed the sovereign
waters of Calypso.

Gaia could not weep,
because her throat was plugged
by the sharp middle finger
of electric sockets and wires.Rape2 days ago in Free Verse

Secret WoodI am lost in the verdant green,
a jungle of star-shaped leaves
that travel among the seas
and linger in my eyes.

And I am soaring high...

With the tranquil evening air,
the whispers of my prayers
that flicker everywhere
into the magical fusion.

This is my summer illusion...

To behold the very sight
of a youthful fairy's night.Secret Wood3 weeks ago in Free Verse

Peach JuiceA cloud god
spilled his sun-glass of
peach juice.
Across the sky,
the orange frothed into
white strands,
like heavenly Morse code.

The solar drink thinned
into a beard-grey
until I'm in a
glass-black sea
and the moon is full,
an uneaten celestial crisp. Peach Juice1 month ago in Free Verse

the weather latelywhen i tilt my glass up,
dregs of iced tea powder

LonelyI look at the stars
Hoping to see something
Looking back at me.

But its just echoes
Of dead and dying
Suns and worlds.

Nothing's listening,
Nothing's speaking,
Nothing really cares.

There is no design,
No grand plans to
Make the universe spin.

There's only darkness,
Suffocating and cold,
Consuming the light.Lonely1 week ago in Free Verse

There Is Love Tucked Behind My WingsI notice with a hesitant touch that
the contours of his heart are
made of pollen and petals.

His words are folded inside.
A shudder of spring and antennae
I try to whisper hope into his leaves:
it will coax him from sleep.

Winter had swarmed him and all at once
the buzz in my heart ceased its
desire and became fixated
on the space between
being rooted and setting him free.There Is Love Tucked Behind My Wings3 weeks ago in Free Verse

Seven WindsSeven Winds

The atmosphere of the universe involves me,surrounds me,warms me and determines my path

Between stars and comets my body dressed from seven veils in the lovely night of a seven day,dance to the seven winds

And through the power of my ancestors

The ceremony is celebrated

Eyes of fire
paw of billy goat

Blood of serpent
flowing by the land sanctified

I represent the sun
I represent the moon

a God with huge horns
a Goddess with breasts to shows

The mother
The daughter
The beast

Seeking the magic of the universe through the black hole
between void space and the intelligent mind

I'm a white goddess from darkness

the holocene perspectivethis lonely life we live
best to live as kids
with muddy boots laced
and sweaters pulled taut
against young beating hearts
find the world larger than we thought
to discover we are not
magnificent
though the land we traverse is
the water that spills over rocks
the water in us
resonating, livening our blood
because we are a small part
of what is wondrousthe holocene perspective1 month ago in Free Verse

trees, sadnessSometimes I think about how leaves
tumble before falling,

of grass and of rain.

sometimes I think about tree limbs,

[petrichor in my lungs
and the way bones turn into roots
and how the weeping willows
bend their heads,
their bark shaping my fingertips.]

Sometimes I think about the heaviness
in my heart, how the trees are
able to stand tall and whisper all at the same time
while I fall asleep crying over something
only the wind could hear.

[Something’s wrong with gravity.
no matter how much I try to rest my body
in the billowing skies, I always seem to withdraw

The Fighting MoonWaning tears leave stains of memory
on this impressive sky and breathe
deep a soul into me,
but I will not surrender.
Saving fears mean pains of mercy
when I try to break the dream
and keep a soul in me,
but I will not surrender.
Making here a light chain of silver, she
reaps a soul, me
and with a smile, surrender
and remember,
as the night moves surely on,
that I don't have to last forever,
I've just got to beat the dawn.The Fighting Moon1 month ago in Free Verse

Resting In NatureGreen leaves, soft wind,

The gentle whisper of the breeze.

Frogs croak, Birds sing,

The water reflects the warmth of the Sky.

Calm breathing, light sighing,

The boy and the girl lie calmly in the grass.

Midday Mildness, Soft shade,

Trees provide the greatest shields.

Light shifting, kind yawning,

The Lovers stir in their sleep.

A summer day to never forget.

A nature orchestra providing the lightest music.

A day shared, Hands linked,

The lovers sleep in peace.Resting In Nature1 week ago in Free Verse

You always tell me the same storyHe's in love with a scene from the winter
that occurs on a trip to Washington,
when the dark is constant and the trees jog
like legends alongside the highway;

as his eyes fall half-sleep but his senses remain
taut and vigilant, sweating on the wheel,
pitching nerve to the sound of branches cracking,
bristling under his wind-torn jacket;

the time of evening when the sunset rests
at its very highest, bright and sudden as Heaven,
an aureate glow around the birdsongs,
the stench of roadkill muted by a golden frost;

a taste of nirvana,
an instruction of faith,
the blatant existence of God,

lost as soon as he rounds the bend.You always tell me the same story2 weeks ago in Free Verse

soggy willow branches

MysteriesShrouded by darkened clouds
slowly unraveling into the night sky.
A tapestry of celestial spheres
display heaven's eyes
as they peer through.
They're the sea under a periwinkle sky.
I feel my soul sailing the constellations
as my eyes watch in envy.
My very heart reaching out its fingers
to test the stars' brightness,
to feel their texture
beneath its touch.

ugly hungerI.

the wolf in her
heart is whimpering
like a pup hungry
for pure milk
but all it is given
is blood--thick
and warm in a
foreign way
one that isn't the
love of a mother
or love of any kind.
II.
in the dry shade
lies the beast of eden,
her heavy jaw slack
from gnawing rotten
fruit and he is saying
with sweet, red skin
between his teeth
she was asking for it--
how her thin fingers
wrapped and pulled
and plucked at the forbidden-
ness, this is no confession
he hisses like the snake
in his heart.

Little SoldierThe lonely little soldier on top of the hill
knows he must fall; it's part of the drill.
He appears so lost, and doesn't know what to do...
so he looks with searching eyes up to the great blue.
He thinks and he ponders about what may come,
and while the heavens are uncaring, the wind starts to hum.
A spirited dirge on fluttery wings
is the only clue of what the future brings.
Its whispers tell of ages past,
and how the time has flown so fast.
The little soldier closes his eyes,
letting his heart say its last goodbyes.
Wrinkles tell of experiences taking their toll,
and wearily speak of the years they stole.

PlutoNo matter what they may say
Despite the evidence against me
Even with the mountain of facts
I still believe in you.

Pluto.
You’re still a planet to me.
A dwarf, so tiny compared to the rest
Like an ant to a human being.

Out of the nine planets
In our vast solar system
You, Pluto, are my absolute favorite.
You’re the underdog
The one that everybody picks on
And I’ll be here to cheer you on
As you continue to show the world how
Awesome you can be.

Screw the scientists
Forget what people may say
Pluto, I’ll always love you
Forever and ever.
Long live the greatest planet that ever existed.Pluto3 weeks ago in Free Verse

On days like thisOn days like this,
I like to think
About just how lucky I am.

How lucky I am
To have food
And a roof over my head.

How lucky I am
To have a beating heart
And air in my lungs.

How I lucky I am
To even have been born.
Imagine...

Out of every sperm and egg,
And every unknown miscarriage,
I survived. We all did.

That in itself is amazing.
Then add on that life itself
Is amazing and wonderful.

How many systems
Must work in tandem
To keep me alive?

If one single DNA strand
Were to replicate wrong
My life would be irreparably damaged.

If my temperature is off
By just the variance between in and out,
I die.

These things astound me.

A Summer's FantasyWhen the wind called no more
The greens rustled craving songs
And the shadows of the blue trees smiled.
There was a fire horse racing the light, burning
And the ice birds migrating to the north
And the butterflies grew double wings, crystal clear.
The rainbow fairies danced in tribal bonfires
And the hiccuping elves celebrated their queen
The silver wolves moaned at the full moon.
There was a golden parrot telling stories to the pirates
While a stone skinned princess danced with a sand skinned prince
As the purple sun tried to beat the orange sun with it's shine.
Yet, my greatest fantasy was you.A Summer's Fantasy2 weeks ago in Free Verse
