Ocean
The sound of the ocean waves
Is nature’s purest voice
Speaking
If I could never walk by the oceans side
My last breath
Has already been taken me away
When the sand filters between your toes
And the sea crashes against your legs
You become one
Part of its being
With the rest of the world
As you immerse your self
The sun on a hot summer day
when you can play
Swimming with the animals that live in the sea
Teach yourself to be free
Take your land to play
Run away
I sat by the sea
And listened for my heart to beat
The ocean roaring, waiting to take me
I look to the sky and a light shone on my face
Nourish in the divine….United again
The world turning below my feet
A power greater than the difference
Between you and I
The moon in the midnight sky
Moves the ocean waves
Quiet desperation
Laced with inspiration
A time of introspection
In a time of monetary deception
I revel in
Anticipation at the known
Existence of angels
Saving my soul
From the depths of all my obstacles
As with all my poetry, this flowed from the deep recesses of my being. This trip to Hawaii had a profound effect on me. This was the first time I felt the power of the Goddess. This is first time that I really enjoyed the feeling of being connected to the earth. I discovered a sobriety from the life that I was living and learned about my connection with all living beings.
Enhance me
My dreams are slowly changing
My life holds no laws
No real love affair
I need diversity to set me free
open minded compassion
in a sea of distrust
I need someone who understands
the ways of life
in this shallow jungle
hunted by wild animals
though they prey, I hunt
circles never ending
triangles are confusing
enhance me
let the knowledge
be born
unto my mentality
seduce me with your eyes
letting me hear
silent whispers of your soul
Intrigue me by motion
Let your body flow emotion
continue to grow
show me love of life
teach me to laugh
I promise I won’t cry
again
no, no , songs of sorrow
Hold me complete
