Anniversary

Russ and I have been together for two years. That is hard to believe...I don't have a good track record for relationships, so two years is crazy....but it's so great...sigh....I actually wrote this almost a year ago, but I think it makes sense to post it now.

CLOUDWALKERS

Reach down to me,
pull me from the turbid mire.
Drench me in light.
Kiss me with your warming lips,
remind me why I'm here.

Crystal drops soak my skin,
with the gentle touch of a thunderstorm.
Look me in the eye...
Show me your soul.

Vines intertwined,
we walk among the clouds.
Elated...I'm afraid.
I've never been here before.

I stand here with you
Between lightning and light...
Higher than I've ever been,
You're what I need.

Glimmer

I have grown tired
of this life's restrictions.
I long to stretch
My ill-used wings
and fly far away.

If only I could turn
back the tireless hands of time,
and capture all the perfect moments
to keep in my pocket.
There has to be a reason for all this madness.

I want to glimmer like I used to,
long before I became jaded to everything.
I want to sparkle brighter than the starry night.
I wish to shine.

I wish I could step out of my head
for just one day,
to actually know what it is to see the
World through rose-coloured glasses...
What must that be like?

Encore.

Yup, you guessed it. Another poem. Yay.
NIGHT
The moon is jealous
as the world is in languid slumber.
Yet sleep does not drench
Her pale translucent skin
Until dawn approaches...
In her domain, she watches
over all.

As elaborate as a blue diamond symphony,
the intricate mist of the
Sun goddess envelopes us.
Her rich-toned honey music
steals us away,
Oblivious to all but us.

Daylight shimmers as
Earth goes about her usual business,
Yet--
A subtle silver dust
begins to settle...
Night draws near.

Guinea Pigs

So don't you all feel so special? You get to be the first people ever to read a poem by me. Don't make fun of it because I am very protective of my work and I will be forced to kick your butt. Please understand what a big step this is...That's right. This is one of my favorite ones, because of the bizarre imagery.

SORDID SKIES & DREAMS

Here, in my bed


A screaming sun goddess


Void of bitterness


I live a thousand true moments.


The urging summer petal storms


Pound in my head for eternity.


'Please stop' i ache,


but their delicate pink beauty manipulates my language.


Beneath the frantic chocolate spray,


You glistened among a million blue diamonds


as in a dream.


I am reminded of a long-ago image


stored deep in my subconsciousness


Now brought to light.


Crying, I am


Asleep and dreaming of


Visions of You,


whispering,


"We are delirious, but not Mad."


So there you have it.
