Posted: 3/22/2009 9:04:29 PM | Look right
See who hides
where sin lies
such things as this
shouldn't be found
Looking left
hearts pumping
slowly drained
life
bringing back
what shouldn't have
ever been lost.
Listen intently
Straight ahead
hear cries of swallowed
grief -
laid out on white sheets
praying for salvation
Feel gently
soft lips
telling lies
draining life
swallowing sin
uttering secrets
saving self
from all directions.
as senses linger...

In the heavens, artistic dream
Blue are the colours seen
'cept at sunset, ornge and red
or at sunrise, pink instead.
Sometimes, it is simple green
Hues of purple, sometimes seen
Midnight black, is seen deep blue
Illuminated by moonlight true
What colour is the sky in mind?
How does one paint the colour kind?
Multi coloured, is perception
Or do my senses offer deception?
Alas, it is a curious colour sky!
Mere perceptions painted to try
Always coloured, with diferent hue
'cept at midnight black, it's dark blue!
What colouris the sky to savour?
From what colour on the pallette favour?
Rainbows decorate the sky intense
Many coloured varried immense!
Oh, what colour is the sky to paint?
Emotions perceived and never faint
Exasperated, with admired smile
Perhaps its blue skies all the while!
(G' Day, Ms Blue. Enjoy your writes!) | |

Posted: 3/23/2009 9:54:43 AM | Teardrop Rain
A sad good-bye
A crimson stain,
The tears flow down
My face like rain.
A stormy sky,
And a thundering sound
Another tear,
falls on the ground.
A lonely stranger,
A wandering soul,
Walking beside me
His name unknown.
A shining star,
Now a moonlit night
My feelings uncertain,
neither wrong nor right.
But I can still hear
That sad good-bye,
And i see that remaining stain.
Although my eyes are dry,
there's still that
teardrop rain

Posted: 4/5/2009 9:59:49 PM | Unwritten rules in my world
Increase my ability to love
Love everything--regardless
Of walls and requirements
Which often cast shadows
In spaces only meant for light.
Unwritten rules in my world
Decrease your ability for understanding
Since it's not natural to obtain
Freedom in this fashion
So confusion takes residence
Where clarity had planned
To make itself at home
Unwritten is the blank slate
Meant for words and planning
No lists or predisposed reasoning
Try--try to meet me here
Regardless of your rules
Don't miss out on the present
Or plead for forgiveness for the past
Forgiveness is a given
There are no rules
They are unwritten.

Oh the rules for sky blue!
Basking in the spirit true!
Little one gentle insight!
Sky bright in colour delight!
Blue of sparkle diamond soul!
Nurtured, protected, divine goal
Smiling eyes in content hue
Depths seen in that colour blue!
Freedom seen in eye reflect!
Joyous mine heart calm respect!
Oh! Such rules to pleasure impart!
Willingly, savoured, in mine heart!
...nice rules here...
hugs, Ms Blue!

Posted: 4/6/2009 4:46:34 AM | love the poems read here
from secrecy and sadness
to the flowing of blessed tears....
the colours of the rainbow
and all the shades of blue
glistening like diamond
all blending to create
a whole rainbow of each hue....
unwritten rules is beautiful
just what i needed to read
for the last few weeks
have truly challenged me....
"love them regardless"...indeed!
love them unconditionally
let our heart and Spirit be free
so we can release our energy
with love being our guiding light
love showing through the blue
love written on these pages
as so many of us do | |

Posted: 4/6/2009 7:48:00 PM | Slow dances loom
--Casting light
From purple and pink skies
Hearing the sounds
Echoing in early eve'
There is sadness in the sway
Rays of light shine through
In a redundant reminder
She isn't dancing alone.

Posted: 4/12/2009 10:00:59 PM | If ever you heard the sounds
The ones playing today
You would be jealous of my ears
Cold beaches and rain soaked sand
Waves washed over idle rocks --
Singing songs I haven't heard in years
Water is my muse
The sound is her twin
Bringing life to what was barely alive

Posted: 4/12/2009 10:51:31 PM | Resurrected and resuscitated by the rain
By showers of light and warming earth
the flowers rise again
and Nature has her rebirth
And in the quiet, I listen and wait
hearing so many shades of blue
With love, I shed all hate
Because love is always true
Reborn and renewed as the sun breaks through
In my life as well as the sky
And I know what to do,
I know what to try

Posted: 4/13/2009 10:37:21 PM | I hear the words
The ones you swear are true
Words upon words
Protesting to much
What I know are lies
Of a life you live
Without
I listen to claims of joy
How life is beautiful
Stolen from a song
For you to find peace
This is what you know
You must say
Because what you love
Truly--Is out of reach
I see the life you lead
The one that outwardly
is sunshine and rainbows
Perfection to the laymen
The one I know inwardly
You yearn for-- what is natural
And pure
Without pretenses and envy
I wish I had the time to wait
Because that's what I know
...It's what I know
And you--well-- for you
I've waited and searched
Time is vicious....
And she can't wait
....to much longer.....

Posted: 4/14/2009 11:27:05 PM | It's not so dramatic
Life sometimes does
just. stand. still.
The key is....
learning to stand with it.
Breathing regardless
Smiling
Despite what's inside
Dreaming big
Choosing well
In honor
And with a humble heart
Shoulders shrug
Embracing love
In whatever form
Given.

Posted: 4/18/2009 7:06:28 PM | Jewel toned lights shone through
Where lapses of darkness lay
Momentary glimpse of angels
Reflect heaven in your bloodshot soul
Reaching toward blue and gold rays
In shallow April dusk
Teetering -- finding balance
Between what tangible rain
Brings to dried up eyes
Resting on soft pillows
Eyes closed from beautiful pieces
Brought here to fill lonely hearts
Retrieving laughter from black holes
Speaking words all chosen in vain
On deaf ears they lie...
Breathing the sound
...and you back to jewel tone lights...

Posted: 4/30/2009 7:43:32 PM | The castle--her home on the hill
Lights from ships shone dimly at sea
Seen from that window--
Where she dreams
Speaking out to them
Singing and whispering
From the castle she calls out
Praying for safety in storms
For there are many in cold waters
It's her favorite sound
Fog horns and bells clanging at night
As waves crash on the cliffs
Knowing with the ebb and flow of tides
She'll always be safe
In the castle--her home on the hill.

Posted: 5/13/2009 8:32:50 PM | the sounds of blue here are truly beautiful....and mournful too...
thank you for sharing what's inside and coming through you.
what would you do
if what you thought you knew
wasn't truth?
if in every rainbow of light
darkness also comes to sight...
reflections deepen when
Spirit weakens
until we can see
the paradoxes are not possible logically
unless you view them Spiritually
and nothing is as it appears
for no one is beyond their fears
when laughter's cry turns to tears....
we are all so much older than our years

Posted: 6/9/2009 11:12:08 PM | My spirit is weak at times
Reaching out for you to hear me
Begging to bring back innocence
A beginning of hopeful love
Trying hard not to lose focus of the goal
In finding purity and lust combined
That undeniable chemistry
Feeling drawn to the point of no return
Spread out, vulnerable, and willing
To love beyond what I ever thought I could.
Bound in ownership of my body
It's what caresses my soul.
What you feed from in all essence of me
And as she--my spirit weakens
Unable to run passed what is right
In front of me
Holding my breath
Hoping you'll catch me despite it all.

Posted: 6/10/2009 4:56:21 AM | sharing this with you, dear blue
.....a poem that has been evolving....
she was falling
having gone within
shattering illusion
of all she had been fighting
and keeping hidden
not realizing
he could see her agony
that'd been with her
keeping her company
creating disharmony
and quite alarmingly
pushing her deeper
and deeper under
where she was
barely able to breathe
tumbling her until
she had lost
her bearings
fallen yet hanging in
and all along
she was aging
like fine wine
the sediment
gathering deep down
living the illusion
it was balancing her
and keeping her from taking off
for she was a winged creature
whenever she could free the weight
that was so heavy
then a chance
for transformation
he offered to help
release all she had been carrying
but the burden
had become her friend
and she was not ready
so they parted company
suddenly
she remembered
it might be now or never
a chance to really discover
and uncover her from the ogre
that had been following her
keeping her company
all along seeming to be
part of her destiny
so here she was
falling
her knees buckling
her heart opening
her suffering melting
and in that moment
she let go
with nothing to hold onto
and he was there
in a voice warm and clear
he assured her
'i've got you'
then
just as the wind
had carried him in
his wings opened
and he flew
away again
while she also took flight
in her own direction
lifted on strands of light
that had briefly
left her vision
now as she flew
with new insight
riding the tide
of the ocean

Posted: 6/14/2009 11:08:38 PM | Dangling in present-tense
Fearing the greatest fear
Love with conditions
There always *are* conditions
Perfectly diagrammed for understanding
It what makes sense
Still--it leaves me trembling in shadows
Handing out pieces of me
Just to watch what you might do
One, by one, by one....
Holding back--when all I want
Is to watch you put the puzzle together
Without the picture
To be enough--and worth it
All consuming
All encompassing
I love you wholly
Even if you are only
Half mine.

Posted: 6/20/2009 6:00:40 AM | i love to see
you gently
looking at me
a smile so content
simple innocence
reminding me really
it can be so easy
i love to see
you being cheeky
that mischievous look
toying with me
reminding me
we both can be
so naughty | |
