White Smoke



.
smoke filled clouds
flame lit ashes
coo of craving
as time passes
hand to mouth
inhaling for lucidity
yearning to pause
addictions false remedy

A Light in The Fog


A Light in The Fog
Originally uploaded by EdHodges.
I march on although I cant see,
not certain of my surroundings,
I am sure of one thing,
I am walking this road alone,
a quiescent mind searching,
for clarity,
the light in the fog,
in front of me,
I am channelling'
for an epiphany.

loves song


Spirit Dance
Originally uploaded by corvid73.
I cant explain why?
this feeling of unease,
is stirring within,
warning me to be cautious,
wait before I let someone in,
it is too late ,
already reaching the point of no return,
all or nothing,
there was safety in solitude,but
something was missing,
my longing has entangled another into dance,
to the rhythm of loves fickle song,
on edge ready to leap beckoned by the beat of hearts,
simultaneously,pulling towards then away from, spinning,
now intertwined as one,
until the tune shifted,
now improvising to a tempered melody,
wildly irrational,
causing a jerking of emotions,
and a pausing of movement,
in total silence,
until the next song plays,
I am at bay,
a slave to the rhythm,
of loves song.

many facets of me

SELF LOVE


SELF LOVE


Excuse me if I cant fit your one size fit all fashions, you better add some more xxx's, perhaps you think I should eat smaller rations, see I dont have a problem with my size and no I dont always supersize my fries,There's just more of me to love and just because i'm not small and dainty does'nt mean I can't be sexy i'm sexy times 3xxxl , so no I'm not conceited and yes I have a reason to be, appreciating all that makes me unique ,I'm happy god made me just the way that I am finally, I have not always felt this way my view of myself would change day to day depending on my environmental surroundings contingent on if they would be accepting of my width ,should not by any means sum my personal worth I am beautiful and big in size and it took some years to realize ,now I love me unconditionally.

yada yada blah blah

your empty apologies
bounce of me,
acoustically the sound
of muffled tall tales and
half truths,
I am impervious to
your spiel, your voice,
you speak with a forked tongue,
a dialect of deceit,
you prey on me with lies,
you are not what you seemed to be,
your smiling and hiding intentions, but
did i forget to mention ,
I am no longer blinded by your charms.

Father and Child

What in life has prepared me,
for this responsibility,
holding your fragile life
in my hands, I was not taught
to be a man by the father
that helped conceive me , but
I will give you my all
completely, scared to make
his mistakes, I will not
walk in his footsteps ,
love will guide me
and show me the way,
I will not run ,
my love for you makes
me the better man,
looking at your fragile
face, no greater love
will I ever know, as
the bond between us grows,
holding you in my hands
now more of a man than my
father would allow himself to be,
I accept this duty,
unconditionally.

Fiery Woman

you are many colors
of the rainbow
fiery,vivacious ,woman
hues of rust ,magenta
indigo beaming light
upon the sight
of your radiance
your inner glow
would place
a shadow on
the sun
and cast
a kaleidoscopic
haze on the moon
Fiery ,vibrant,woman
would shine
in any room.

pool


pool
Originally uploaded by pgilliver.
Pools of amber essence,


Deep enough to swim,

Caught inside a view,

Mesmerized within,
When you look beyond,

Windows pierce the soul,
Tell me what you see?
The truth that eyes behold.

maternal wisdom

the cocreator of life
the molder of my
existence your
fertile womb like
earth seasoned
my birth

mother of creation
vessel of god
a gift to humanity

to my loving mother
