Mid Winter Haiku

On lacy branches
Buds timidly appear.
Welcome friends.

The Monarchs of September

How fondly I will remember

The Monarchs of September

Whirling down all around

Then up pieces of soul heaven bound

Did I disturb what lay so still

Or give rise to God’s good will?

Burnt orange wings against sky blue sky

And for what ,but beauty, do they live and die.

Exhale

Lately, I’m a lot more me

 I know that it began with you.

There’s something freeing about just being.
Maybe you can feel it too.

Recovery

Something beautiful begins and ends,
As each new day awakes again.
Moving forward with steps so small
Toward the one who’s worth it all.
To erase your past is to deny your soul,
The circle is what makes the whole.

Poetic

Some day I’ll meet the one who will sow seeds of stars in my heart.
He’ll love me like an ocean and we’ll never have to part.
Come cup the cosmos and hold my hand.
Soul-song universe.
Sturdy as a tree, surprising as the tide.
Wake me like a sunrise.
Stay like a sunset.
Give me peace like the moon.

 

 

Time to Grow

 “So long!” to greener grass, and ever afters.

Gonna make my bed in lovelier pastures.

Gonna find my joy beneath bluer skies

Gonna open myself up,

Gonna be surprised.

Goodbye, to what I thought I wanted

Goodbye, to the memories that haunted

Goodbye, to things that made me sad.

Hello, Happy!  I’m so glad

So glad to finally meet you.

 “So Long!” wishes that won’t come true.

I’ve had enough of you.

Hello, Happy! It’s a new day.

Hello, Adventure! Please come my way.

Goodbye, to what I thought I wanted

Goodbye, to the memories that haunted

Goodbye, to things that made me sad.

Hello, Happy!  I’m so glad

So glad to finally meet you.

I’m ready now.

And Perhaps, I’ll never know

Why I wasted so much time

But I’m leaving now.

It’s time to grow.

Painted

Roses and Honey

Lace and bees

Leather bound books

Shady maple trees

Telescopic eyes

Cream and sugar tea

Gauzy dreams

Boats on a watercolor sea

This is how it feels to be painted me.

Inspiration

 “I repeat we would not part if we didn’t have to. Haven’t we forgiven each other’s faults time after time, and made it up again? We know each other so well that we can see no evil in each other. Is it love? I do not know,but there is something between us that cannot be undone.” -Van Gogh ^^^^ the inspiration^^^^
                                  vvv behind the poem vvv
The Fault Line:
Where does it lie
between yours and mine?
It is so faint now
Like evening’s last breath.
One lingering golden ray
That takes its hold.
Plants the roots of hope
In a barren land.
I do not know if love,
but if I do it is forever.
And cannot be undone.

Awakening

 

Golden boy, why are you stalling?

We both know you ought to be falling

Hard in love or at least breakin’ even

By now.

This time tomorrow you’ll wake up late

Another day and another date

With destiny.

Will she be the one?

And you wonder

 Could she be the girl you’ve waited for

Since you were seven

Teen.

Yeah yeah, boy gotta get up and live your life

To make your light the only one she sees.

In the night

The only one she reaches for.

Come on, boy! Get this one right.

Get this one right.

Walk fast, walk past, walk in between

The lines that were drawn

‘Cuz Your reality is awakening.

Get it right. Get it right.

Hey, look! now she’s by your side.

And she’s awakening.
