poetry

I do not consider myself a poet. Occasionally, I will be inspired to write what I think of as "greeting card prose", or song lyrics at best, and I've put a few of them down here. Most of these I don't even save - I'll write them in a greeting card or on a scrap piece of paper, send them off, and never see them again. These, through no intent of my own, happened to have been saved.

Beginnings

At first just words up on the screen,
reflections of a soul unseen.
Which spoke of things they each have known
and told of feelings both have sown.

They followed her to different sites
with further thoughts and deeper heights.
And truth and insight has begun
upon a path to which she sung.

Before too long she learned this soul
was one with which she might be whole.
So not a backward glance or thought
she jumped into what Goddess brought.

Doeskin

When I'm way down deep inside myself
in a place where few can go,
there are parts of me that to most are stealth
but a few have come to know.

And it's not that I intend to hide
or to keep these things unknown,
but it's just to some I cannot confide
and to let these things be shown.

Yet occasionally as I travel through
on this path so few have tread,
I'll encounter someone just like you
where I'm like a book you've read.

It is rare I know, when I find a soul
that aligns so close to mine.
So the times I do I can give the whole
of myself for them to find.

I have found surrender's just one way
I reveal myself as true.
Yes, I think this time, whether come what may,
I will give myself to you.

And I make this choice after lots of thought
and that one thing that you said.
After one brief kiss and a scent that brought
all my essence through your head.

Endless

Two souls adrift, through endless haze
so far apart, for endless days.
Just hap to meet through endless bytes,
amid the squalor, chats and fights.

They sized each other, squinted eyes,
the one would holler, cross the ties.
Yet suddenly, an altered state,
they just connected, as if by fate.

Connections grew, with clear design,
they twist and weave and intertwine.
They look behind and notice then,
the common bond, since life began.

The final outcome yet unknown,
as things must grow at rates their own.
But clearly the potential's there
for endless growth, if they might dare.

Soulmate

along my path, as time moves on,
i've met some souls who've come and gone.
a few that found some time to stay,
whose hearts i've touched, but went their way.

on rare occasions i have found
a soul or two to whom i'm bound.
forever linked, forever one
perhaps beyond when this life's done.

i thought myself so blessed by this,
to've shared a touch, a hug, a kiss.
but now i see a place above,
since you have shared your trust and love.

through the astral

soft and warmth, she radiates,
love, compassion, hearts, her fates.
dreams of passion, spirits blend,
nightly through the astral send.

minds connect through endless miles,
sharing laughter, pain, and smiles.
hearts together, beat as one,
soulmates 'till the world's undone

a rhythmic pulse, like ocean waves,
surround our auras, colors blaze,
reach out to touch her, sparks a glow,
eternity our love to grow.

togetherness

soulmate, my lover,
reach into my dream.
soulmate, no other,
makes fire and steam.
binded together,
'cross miles so far.
blinded forever,
just you, shining star.

true love, between us,
transcends time and space.
true love, has seen us,
together, this place.
never, without you,
in each other's heart.
ever, beside you,
and never apart.

power, surrounds us,
with each astral touch.
power, inside us,
it's like it's too much.
growing, forever,
with heights to extreme,
flowing, i'm ever,
to reach for your dream.
