"breaking silence"..snippet 10

a square peg hovers atop a round hole..

silently the shape of angst

straddles..

the threshold of emptiness

passion astir speaks volumes..

those who wish to speak but are mute

sighs...

breaking silence

"emotional reprise"... snippet 9.02

..an intoxicating elixir drifts;

honeysuckle's fragrant healing balm

has me drunken with ardent emotion ~

...when the heart is open every word has meaning
~ ~ ~

...it's not

building a rocket ship;

it’s only poetry

expecting to fly ♥

...purging ...snippet 8.0

"purging”

a river of tears may flood 

from love's ache... 

even a million raindrops

drawn by gravity’s,

yin and yang 

suffuse vast rivers wide 

always reaching 

oceans’s distant shores…

~ 

only tears can cleanse,

the dust and ashes 

that which verve of heart 

flung into the sea to purge...

echoes of the water’s healing balm 

calm the raging waves...

"it's only water " snippet 7.0...

celestial bliss enshrouds

the quiet torn of the soul

terrestrial calm waters

seeking and finding its own level

essence

craving purpose to quench

an insatiable thirst,

whether the glass

is half empty or half full…

~

an evanescent wave

pounds the shoreline

before lapping

the rocky shoals

eroding the sands of time

evolving paragon

echoing being....

balancing tumultuous

ebb and flow

it's only water

wash over me...

author's note: an evanescent wave * tending to vanish*

"breathing"

one day you wake up alone

no matter which way the wind blows;

but breathing has taught you,

there is never a breathe

you can afford to waste...

"love"

love must come naturally 

if we've looked for it 

and never found it… 

it does not mean 

it does not exist ♥♥

~

look after love; 

be vigilant about its care…

Sometimes change happens 

so quickly you don’t even notice...

~

what would become of love 

if we keep it hidden (?)

Authors notes:

what would bring hope 
to where there once 
was none(!)
