JUST BEING ALONE

JUST BEING ALONE
It is such a wondrous feeling
This entire wide expanse
The oceans, the seas
Oh such a feeling to be free
Cooped up, shut up
No more a prisoner of their emotions
Their actions
Their blackmails
An end of an era
An end of an eon
Oh this is the best to be alone
But not alone
You are here, you are there
You are everywhere
You’re by my side
And here in my heart where you reside
Watching, guarding, protecting
I hear your gentle whisper
Softly, gently
Telling me, showing me
“That all is well”
“The path is clear my dear”
My quiet, silent Angel
With all your unconditional love
How blessed, lucky that makes me feel

THIS RESTLESS SPIRIT


THIS RESTLESS SPIRIT
So fidgety inside
Edgy, impatient
Awake inside
Like the rolling waves
Tumbling, turning and churning
The dust the dust
That I want to keep
It is tormenting
A fierce torrent
That cannot be controlled
The rocking and rolling
Like the waves crashing over the rocks
Crashing, bashing and lashing
These insides
The hurt the pain
The strain
It cannot remain
The force, the power
The now or never
The waves need calming
Soothing
Washing it all away
The rocks my strengths
My rock in times of need
Stability
Steadiness
Firmness on this solid ground
A phase
A stage
That seems so rocky right now
The storm will pass
Never lasts
Just a momentary moment
In this wondrous life

THE GLORY OF YOU!

THE GLORY OF YOU!
This eliminating, illumination
Shines so gloriously, resplendently
Dazzlingly, amazingly
You make me feel like a star
A star shining so bright
In the nights sky light
You make me feel so real, surreal
And at times so unreal
Dreamy, dreamlike
With just that one
Long, long glance
You have captured this image
This persona, aura
Like no image has ever been captured before
May, just maybe this is why
You have captured my soul
My love
My heart
You’ve captured my whole

SHROUDED
Cloaked
Covered
Veiled
In an air of mystery
Remaining anonymous
Unidentified
Enigmatic
Secretive in the air of
Grace and elegance
Red for passion
Fiery
Blistering heat
Fierce
Sweltering
Sizzling
Be careful of the blistering
Blazing, intensity
That she exudes
Emanating
From her body
Her soul
Her mind
Keep an eye on those eyes
Piercing
Cutting right through you
Intensifying
Deeper, deeper and deeper
Penetrating right at your core
Powerful
Forceful
No mistaking ever ever!
Or exaggerating
Dare to look?
Or dare to look away?
Either way
She will get to you
