*RADAMANCY
the musty blanket of a waking earth wrapped around us as we sat silent
you held my hand so tightly in yours
because you knew for the first time
with certainty you were safe
you let me see all those forgotten places of your past and showed me the walls you built with the fears of your own hands now crumbling at last because this is where you belonged
never has someone touched my heart and filled my soul with such happiness and peace how easily the wounds of a life time vanish in the embrace of
FOUND LOVE
*the act of loving the one who loves you; a love returned in full
You are like…
The smell of the earth after a spring rain
The evening smell of freshly cut grass
The First soft kiss on a warm summer eve
The warm summer eves ocean breeze
The wind of an incoming summer storm
The early morn chirping birds ending winter
The deciduous Fall explosion of neon colors
The mysteriously looming harvest moon
Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia late at night
The taste of all childhood comfort food
You are what makes me happy
ONE SOUL
two hearts
one soul
your soul is my soul
my soul is your soul
your burdens my burdens
my burdens your burdens
you are weak I will be strong
I am weak you will be strong
together lighten the heavy load
together endure and not falter
my soul is your soul
your soul is my soul
one soul
two hearts
LET ME LOVE YOU
Let me love you
the way I love the ocean wind touching my skin
Let me gaze upon you
in awe as I do the mysterious harvest moon
Let me taste of you
and indulge as I do in Cherry Garcia ice cream
Let me inhale you
like the scent of jasmine lingering in the summer air
Let me drink you up
like a dizzying sweet rich red dornfelder wine
Let me touch you
the way you touch my very soul each and every day
PROMISE TO MY SOULMATE
i want to be your courage
when you begin to falter
i want to be your strength
when you think you’re weak
i want to be your inner peace
when life has you worried
i want to be your shoulder
when sadness overcomes you
i want to be your blanket
when you are feeling too cold
i want to be your youth
when life begins to make us old
i want to be your home
where you can always be
the person that you want to be
Eve
So deep was his love for her
he sprinkled the heavens with bright stars
placed the moon in the center of it all so
she could always find her way
he formed oceans and released winds to
create waves of soothing lullabies to
bring her soul comfort
he made the sun and rain clouds to feed
the Earth so she could dance with butterflies in fields of wild flowers
he created you for her as he created Adam
for Eve so you could love her soul and bring her peace and happiness
Dante’s Hell
my restless soul wandered for what felt like an eternity
on this Godless planet
void of emotional humanity
reality a desolate place a believer of Dante I became
in the sixth circle of heresy
intended for heretics of love
you emerged from the heavens, a poetic ladder in hand
down into my lonely depths
beckoned me to take notice
with each upward step I learn about the soul that is you
You touched my heart
You touched my soul
You
Saved
Me
from Dante’s hell
Querencia
"a place where one feels safe, a place from which one’s strength of character is drawn, a place where one feels at home"
when i was wilting
you turned into rain
until i was able to bloom
when i was starving
you turned into food
until i was nourished
when i stumbled
you turned into a cane
until i could walk on my own
when i was lost in darkness
you turned into light
until i found my way
home
YOU
Elysian
(el-ee-sian) Greek (adj.) beautiful or creative; divinely inspired; Peaceful and perfect.
When I was young I made monsters
In the wilderness on a Millers old farm
My very own secret invisible servants
Made of leaves, twigs, and cherry stones
Garnished with cheap forgotten jewels
I reigned over my crafty creations
And I gave each one its very own name
There we lived alone for thousands of years
Until one sudden day I opened my eyes
To see all my monsters had flown away
But there in their place stood you
I couldn’t have dreamt up you
Not in a thousand years
