Blissful Depth

Let me melt into your soul,
I just want a tiny glimpse.

Let me swim through your veins, feel your pulse
Imagine your secret bliss.

Let me dive into your thoughts,
Both deep and shallow.

An underwater cave,
My curiosity in the shadows.

Buzzing Inspiration

 A buzzing energy fills my soul
Inspiration begging me to play,
Taunting me with temptation.

Body aches,
Fingers explore pen and paper as if it is the first time
Excitement rushes through my indigo veins

Vibrations manifest themselves,
Slowly but surely.

Wondering, wandering thoughts.

Screaming to escape my caged mind.

I let them brew,
Can't say it's the first time.
So here I lay,
And here I write .

Recenter

Poetry. Let it escape my lips, stain wrinkled pages, touch broken hearts.

Straying

Off the path,
Looking back,
Forgetting the sun is rising in front of me.
Focused on the setting moon.

Heart racing,
Legs pacing,
Stomach facing realities created,
But simply stated facade.

Unsure,
Unsettled.
Sight lost,
Breathing tempo
Here.
Now.
Reminder, much needed.

Here.
Now.
Smile,
You're already on your path.

Done straying,
Now coming back.

Dusk Kissed Stillness

Skin crawling,
Awaiting the night to pass.
Debating reveling in the heat of the moonlit desert sky.

But the coyotes wait in the dark.

Heart racing, body aching, mind pacing.
Burrowing for comfort,
Welcoming the morning moon,
Begging for her to dance with the morning sun.

Fluttering,
Jitters,
My heart
My head
My soul.

Dusk Kissed Stillness is what I crave.

A day from hell

Wake up late.
Hit snooze three too many times.
Look in the mirror,
Bag under eyes.

Under the sink,
No dry shampoo,
Too late to rewash my hair.
A bun will do.

Barefoot tip toeing to the kitchen,
Maybe coffee will help.
But instead an empty canister sneers at my tired eyes.

Packing lunch...
A banana and...?
Left over vegetarian "chikn" nuggets?
Like a child, I just laugh.

Cats trip and toy at my feet as I rush.
Mascara will have to do...
Door locked.

Warm desert breeze soothes me,
"Eh it could be worse"
Car door opens, key in ignition and
Empty.

Fuck.

Closest gas station,
Closed,
Next one ten minutes out of the way.
Late
But... c'est la vie.


Still no coffee,
Hot mess,
Day becomes a whirlwind of chaos.

Finally home.
Realizing I need to go to the grocery store.
Off I go in flip flops and sweats.
Still waiting for 2 phone calls to be returned,
But they aren't.

On my way down an aisle.
My flip flop breaks.
I laugh...
Almost hysterically.
This has been my day.

But somehow I've been lighthearted,
Is this growing up?
