WISH ( a haiku)

WISH YOU WERE HERE

a haiku





Naked in my sheets
I lay back and think of you
Wishing you were here


Sensuous stories
Whispered in each others ears
Erotic tongues tease


Nothing between us
But pearls of lust, sweat and tears
Silky smooth liquids



Lubricate my soul
 erogenous zones explored
 Primal sounds emerge



Enter the dragon
With fire too hot to subdue 
Now I drift to you

ALL THAT GLITTERS

ALL THAT GLITTERS



Beauty is in the eye of the beholder


You see a glittering prize
I see the pain in their eyes






You see dollars and cents
I see nothing but pretense

Do you remember the days of slavery?





Every time I hear your chains
It reminds me of the pain
The exploitation of the people
simply trying to survive
Where every drop of blood spilled 
is converted to a dollar per ounce



$1680 to be precise





Are the fruits of my hard labor
any less valuable than yours?





 I am the sum total of my dowry?
While your bling is a show of 

vanity
insecurity
cowadry



The treasure that (EYE) behold
That is truly worth it's weight in gold

Is free to give
Can't be stolen

It's in your enlightened aura
Your soft and malleable heart
Your immeasurable love


And the rays of warmth that light up my day










Divine Mother
I give back to you

I do not own any gold myself.  I have also NEVER worn a diamond in my 45 years

MIRROR REVEAL - VISIONS (An acrostic poem)










                                   MANY YEARS AGO
                                   I HAD A DREAM
                                                   RIVETING ME AWAKE FROM MY SLEEP
                    REALITY HAD CROSSED THROUGH TIME AND SPACE
                                         OR... WAS IT A DREAM ? ...FOR
                                           REVEALED TO ME WAS HIS FACE



                           REFLECTED TO ME, AS IF LOOKING INTO MY OWN EYES
             ENTWINED WITH MY SPIRIT, MY HEART, MY SOUL
                    VISION OF YOU IMPRINTED IN MY MIND...FOR
                 EVERMORE WOULD I REMEMBER THIS
           ALL ILLUMINATING ENCOUNTER
           LOVE IS WITHIN ME...ETERNALLY YOURS

This is a chalk drawing that was done for me by a lady in 2001 at the Sydney Mind, Body and Spirit festival.

The challenge to you is to find them
Once you do find them, if you right click on the links,
you can open them in a new tab, and continue to listen to the music.

MIRROR REVEAL - TRUTH (an acrostic poem)





MIRROR REVEAL 
~TRUTH~

 (AN ACROSTIC POEM)






                                         Most of us look outside when embittered
                                         Instead of looking in at ourselves
                                         Real answers are always
                                         Reflected back to us
                                         Our own actions often too painful to
                                         Recognize

                                         Release egocentric notions
                                         Evolve is LOVE spelt backwards
                                        Vanity is a reflection of superficiality
                                         Every day is a new day to learn that
                                         Actions speak louder than words
                                         LOVE is the key



                                                        DEMONSTRATE

                                                                 LOVE

POINT OF NO RETURN (a juxtaposition)



POINT OF NO RETURN



point of no return n.
The point in a course of action beyond which reversal is not possible
TERM~IN~ATION


There is a moment you reach
when you realize you have to close the door
that this is NOT what you want any more
And no matter how much understanding you can muster
you just know in your heart that
There is no point turning back








REAL~EYES~ATION


There is a point you reach
where you feel in the deepest part of you
that this is exactly what you want to do
And no matter how hard you resist or deny,
you KNOW it's futile to even try
quite simply...there is no turning back





The choice is yours

Q~ Do you carry an umbrella?

SOUL SEARCHIN




It took until this point
2 allow my senses 2 become saturated
with that 1 thing...
I've searched and searched and searched 4

I didn't want 2 simply be ... infatuated
I've been there b4

I wanted a sign
that you were really mine
But the answers i could not find 
(It was messing with my mind)
It left me feeling that I was running blind

Did I really need 2 endure that higher learning?
Where I found myself continually yearning
Thoughts became contradicted
My restless spirit afflicted
Leading me in-2-deep isolation

(not to mention)

some serious love deprivation

What I needed was some restoration
Not more procrastination
Many hours spent in deep contemplation
I often wondered if U were some cruel hallucination


the truth is

nobody has the power to infuse me 
the way U do

so why did U refuse?

 As a result, I find myself still searching

DISTANT SILENCE


DISTANCE /SILENCE







I remember the first time you told me
how I sent your mind and body into a flutter
what you could normally say so easily
(when it came to me)
you found the words hard to utter

You said you wanted to get to know me
And for the first time I actually believed
that someone cared enough to share
(At first filled with trepidation)
soon enough I felt relieved

I slowly allowed you in,
even opened up my heart
Most don't get that close... 
(i can be very distant)
So for me, this was a breakthrough...
a brand new start

Conversations began to flow... 
(tentatively at first I must admit)
This is what happens when we have been hurt before
Never quite knowing, scared to death of showing
Our true thoughts and feelings,
often saying less...not more

The deeper in we get, the more fear can pervade our minds
Scared of being rejected, we put up our shields
(Back to where we started)
neither one brave enough to make the first move
instead of closeness...more distance,
silent wounds we wield

Often, it's not even the things we say that convey our true feelings
It's the things we don't say that have the greatest meaning
but this could be our biggest downfall
(our silence interpreted as not caring)
or even worse...being demeaning



THAT DAY
YOU DREW A LINE IN THE SAND
YOU CREATED INCREDIBLE DISTANCE
BETWEEN US


WHEN IN FACT
HAD WE BEEN HONEST, WE WOULD HAVE FOUND
THAT WE ARE BOTH PREPARED
TO GO THE DISTANCE

UNICORN AND SEA CANARY


The Unicorn and the Sea Canary


It was by an extraordinary chance encounter that they met.

Normally separated by the frigid, impenetrable ice sheets of the North Pole, the earth had temporarily wobbled off it's axis, caused by powerful surges of radiation from solar flares...
The Past and future came together, and a doorway of sorts was created when the ice melted.

He had traversed these waters his whole life.  He knew every inch of his cool underwater world.  His domain was small, due to the nature of the ice shelves. He knew that there were whole bodies of water beyond his reach, as he had heard stories from his family. But for eons, the polar caps had remained frozen over, and those gateways had long been closed off.

But over the last few decades, climatic changes, combined with irregular solar flare activity had been occurring, and the balance of life was being effected.  As a result, ice caps were melting.

One day while hunting with a pod of his friends, he ventured further than any other of his kind had dared. Tuning into his echolocation sonar, which was his guiding force, the sound waves that normally bounced back in on him, kept going.. This could only mean one thing...there was nothing in front of him to hold him back.

He tentatively swam through the doorway.

He was in uncharted territory...a new world of previously unseen heights and depth.  

Unsure of his surroundings, unable to grasp onto any familiarity, he traveled for days, alone. And he truly did feel alone, for the first time in his life. Normally surrounded by family, and the sounds of reverberating echoes, which gave him his sense of familiarity and security, he could feel nothing solid around him. It was so bizarre. Things in his mind, body and spirit surfaced that he had never encountered before. He didn't have words for them, as they were as unfamiliar as his new surroundings.

They were things like fear, uncertainty, doubt, darkness, lack of direction, the inability to forward plan...he had nothing to go on... It was as if the water around him was an endless mirror that reflected his own thoughts and feelings back to him,  amplified a thousand fold. It was an emotional and sensory overload. 
He was transmitting to the expanse of his known universe, into the beyond, but nothing other than what he was sending out was coming back.

Although fairly vulnerable to predators, he did have an unusual form of defense...a very long and pointed sword like extension that protruded from his upper head. No one dared to approach him, or come near him, wary of this new creature swimming in their depths.

On he went...how long, he wasn't sure, as he lost track of time.


One day, while chasing down a large pod of squid, he got a sharp echo wave returning to him, that alerted him that something of an equal size was ahead of him. Dinner would have to wait until the threat passed. He slowed down, and rose slowly to the surface so as to get a better vantage point. And then he heard it...




The most beautiful melodic music to his ears. It was like nothing he had heard before, and yet...it was familiar to some part of his being.

And then he saw her...

She was a vision of purity and light...so white, so bright compared to his grey mottled skin.

She was swimming right towards him...completely unafraid, smiling, playful, good natured, and the most beautiful movements he had ever seen.

So graceful and fluid.

She got close enough so as that he could see her smiling face, and then circled around him. Forwards, and backwards, tilting her head, inviting him to come closer.
He was tentative...and yet there was something so familiar and re-assuring about her. 
 
She was singing, and dancing in the water for him.The most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

He suddenly felt at ease and in the presence of something wonderful.

They both knew that despite being from the same family group, they were not the same...

And yet, they had no trouble communicating. Their thoughts and feelings mysteriously able to be transmitted to one another.

The universe stopped for an infinitesimal fraction of time, and everything that was knowable, passed between them, both of them recognizing the inherent love and light that was contained within each other. 
A spark!  and a vortex of energy was created,in which sacred truths, colours never before seen, depths of emotions not felt before, interconnectedness, wisdom, knowledge, life mission, the songs and melodies were transmitted to each other. The water acting as a conduit. The colours spiraled around them, and their mission together was acknowledged.

And so began the story of the Unicorn and the Sea canary.
