Belong

The magic, romance,
As the clothes fall to the floor
A flush quick-rising
Paints smooth cheeks, open desire,
Hearts twined speed in beat, aglow.

Hardly able here
Now to stand apart, longing,
For warm arms, embrace,
Fully evident, high hopes,
Are revealed, alive, and real.

The words, the music,
Stolen moments, shared pastimes,
Have framed the structure –
Sound, fit, full of love, alight
Passion fashioned for delight.

Freedom together
Bonding, each kiss, touch, whispered,
“I Love You,” into
Places only two can go;
Belonging like never known.

Gifts Given

Day bleeds into night,
Dismissing darkness, nightmares,
Nothing unknown seems;
We stand formidable still
Courageous love, we instill.

We are all precious
Treasured in adversity,
Shining fixtures placed
With love fully embraced as
We are in reality.

Different – skyborne
Galaxies – with miracles
To share giving hope,
All is, ever shall be well,
We create much of our fate.

Holding each other
With full capacity of
Kindness, love, respect,
Reveals the heart of wisdom
Fulfilling hopes, making dreams.

Who we are always
Inspires cause to celebrate;
We – answered prayers –
Raised in ancestral days,
Pitching tents in paradise.

Beware

The depths,
Negativity,
Lay a plaque
Upon those
Chambers
Where love
Resides
Within
The heart,
Causing
Blockages
In feelings;
Compassion,
Kindness,
Trust;
Hindering
What may
Become
Of Passion.

Thank you for visiting. There are three opportunities to follow the site in the sidebar. If you like what you find, let me know.

Potentially

It is not the thing,
Which means so much, potential
Is the fascination,
The good anticipated
Drives continual collection.

Each grain of knowledge,
Volumes read, pages written,
Words captured, stored away,
Images made – frozen motion,
Time caught today, any day.

Creation flowing,
Exploring, knowing, showing,
Voicing, acting, playing, becoming,
Not a thing, but an expression
A transcendence, beyond gone.

Everything we live
Everything we do enriches
How we create, make,
No energy ever wasted –
All things begin in love.

We are containers,
Sustainers, joiners, remainders,
Adventurers who
Generate from around us
The fabric of reflection.

We reach to other hearts,
Who may understand the journey,
While many miles may
Separate us; togetherness bonds
Us in love’s companionable joy.

Prompt: We are all living lives differently; create something in witness or celebration.

Diverting Chaos

Currently upon a landing
Between
What we can or cannot
Do, have, know, become.
Our platform is crowded
With dreams, hopes, plans,
Truths;
We can inhale deeply
Engage our hearts, minds,
Souls.
We have various options
But results defy control;
The chaos of change holds
Our futures in a firm grasp.
Whatever
We know with certainty belongs
To the past, even so, memory
Is a changeling interjecting
Stories which alter over time.
Though
We create things reflecting
Our knowledge, viewpoints shift
As conditions fluctuate,
Oceans of thought, never still.
Chaos
Informs creativity avowing
Experience is a seeming
Space/Time we boldly bridge
Leaping landing to landing
Aware
We habitually avoid the stairs,
Moving forward or sidelong
Discovering novelty in ourselves,
Always exchanging present
For frequent divers transformation.

Prompt: Create from something you have very recently experienced.
