fire ignites my heart and body
while you selfishly languish in devious splendor

Teacher
This is the mentor who shaped my soul, when I was rediscovering it myself.
This is the guide who diluted the fears in my mind, with the light of knowledge and fact.
This is his energy, which fills my weakened body, with hope and determination.
Too much noise
This poem was inspired by several days in bed with a virus. Ugh!
I noticed how noisy my surroundings were – on all four sides of my home. Cars, motorcycles, people, dogs. I could not hear the birds, or anything remotely peaceful, and it was astounding how much chaos we create for ourselves.
Monkey-mind
clutter and claptrap
punishing, hellish ideas
random thoughts in Facebook format
hogging cerebral real estate
Exaltation
Summer
Clouds swim like feathers,
Cirrus strands brushing turquoise
Cherry sweetness stains.
Unburden
Born with darkness of hell
clinging to the innocent and pure
thorny tentacles puncture skin
