Surviving

when
life throws 
a curveball 
I do not fall
I pick myself up
I still walk tall
through my pain 
I find 
peace.

Dance Fever

twinkle toes:
the bouncer 
looks me over

Another Sunset

star marked 
touched by the setting sun
the sky slips into days end 

Verba Volant

I exist in a place 
Between darkness and dawn 
My soul roams free in violet shades of a luscious lea 
Where amber blooms cruise lavish trails
Dreams are verba volant 
Draped on a woven harvest 
My lips persimmon etched 
My breath a springtime lustre

My eyes ache from unshed tears 
Their depths captive 
Uncertain 
Afraid 
Pained 

Veni, vidi, vici.. 

A piquant zephyr flows from my fingers 
Like a whispering light 
Indulging the 
Moonflowers hush in the soft misty air
Life lulls me a monologue of rhetoric 
An opalescent fire that becomes my shelter 

I become my shelter 
My footsteps 
The building blocks 
Of flowering seedlings. 

Pain

I succumb to pain 
It swirls my nerves
A wild calling of the senses 
Burning force wrapped in gossamer
It’s screaming strength 
Torches my skin 
Nourishing my mind to evade 

I cannot overcome 

It catches me in my gut 
Wrenches my breath 
I try to deal with it 
It transcends my mortal 

I am a survivor till death tears me into vulnerability.

Go Figure

in our conversation 
the figure of speech 
i am trying to 
figure out

Sunflowers

I sprinkle stardust on 
Van Gogh’s flowers 
and feel the sun’s warmth in their yellow heartbeat.
