to be seen...

clearly
smiling as I write
you can read between the lines
where all my words fall

always a....

traveler
with eyes far-gazing
I can walk in many worlds
and belong to none

the night...

embraced
pressed against my ears,
the quiet, like two cool hands
breath warm on my cheek

...

suspended
I find myself here
awake, the night like a room
lost within its walls

always an...

adventure
and where do I go?
to travel to new places
within or without?

with each person...

weightless
stop breathe release look
then touch me fill me leave me
I become lighter

taking it...

slow
soft light fills the air
quietly as I breath in
slide into the day

with back arched...

rise
lightly I sparkle
effervescent in the dark
waves upon deep waves

in retrospect...

hollow
last night was too much
drained by so many people
crushed against the walls
..............................................
walls of faces
depthless eyes
all so desperate

time to restore
rebalance
regroup
breathe

from tonight a...

visit
alcohol dulls words and
breeds shallow conversation
I need more to live
...............................................................................
I have tried, I visited, I talked, asked questions
I am done, I need more, it frustrates
I can't get what I need from this
maybe interesting to visit
definitely Not where
I want to stay
save me

take this as you will...
to be who I am
I need more...
you know
where to
find me

recently, my..

storm
watching the sky crack open
heat rises from me in waves
I am released
...................................................................
never assume...ask...question...wonder...

How else are you to know who you're really talking to?
Who is standing in front of you? Who are they?
When the right words unlock their eyes...that spark.
Can you see that spark when you find the person?
Fan the flame, hear the stories, feel the life.
I am constantly amazed.

the doors open...

wide
sliding and falling
I am pulled into your eyes
water the colour of tea

on the surface...

sun pennies
within solitude
my path flows like clear cool water
green waves flash

found time...

wander
thick sound of the heat
pours slowly over warm skin
two dark pools open

a walk
swallow the miles
step out on the horizon
and stretch to the sky
.....................................

I need to step out to stir up words...
inside, they scrape against the ceiling
and gather in dark corners
the air becomes too thick
short shallow breaths
blue windows close
I need the sky
an open door
far gazing
outward
inward
life

it is...

June
eyes close in the sun
I am craving the water
draw me down slowly

to be...

unchained
I am learning how
to be larger than my life
limits disappear

a...

full night
what words can define?
who we are in others eyes
full moon in sake

noted...

yield
the gates have opened
to let in the rushing tide
and I fill the sky

at last
purple cuts clear blue
briefly, before mountains melt
twilight frees colour

to stop...

hush
I had forgotten
the noise of living quickly drowns
soft velvet whispers

my own...

music
no, make no mistake
in a room full of quiet
I dance for myself
.............................................

that quiet is everywhere I go
whoever I'm with, whatever I'm doing
it slides my eyes closed and my mind open
I can hear it, I can feel it...so I dance
and watching eyes fade away

................................................

crowd
the wave starts again
voices rising and falling
smooth currents of words
