Power In The Moon

Beyond Darkness

 

Beyond darkness

lies truth

Beyond darkness

reveals

a life so extraordinary

only

I can expose

 

Beyond darkness

lives love

lives facts

lives now

 

Beyond darkness

the angels sing

in harmony

of a life so lived

so fulfilled

trumpets play the welcoming game

 

Beyond darkness

lives reality

take this life and live

a life of love

 

Beyond darkness

the light is shinning

Stand in the light

and expose darkness

 

All is good

in the life of creativity

 

Life, love, and laugh

most importantly,

love.



Secrets

 

The secrets I could tell

 

so many

 

secrets

 

I withhold

 

because I don't judge

 

an empathic heart here

 

only listens

 

to understand

 

we are not perfect

 

yet perfect in every way

 

everything that happens

 

happens for a reason

 

so...

 

I keep secrets

 

only to express the truth

 

my truth

 

we are only human

 

give ourselves a break

Mistakes

 

There comes a time in life

 

when you just "know"

 

not to make the same mistake again

 

The "little voice" in your head

 

the "flutters" in your stomach

 

Intuition takes hold

 

Finally being strong minded

 

I will  listen to that voice

 

So much beauty on this earth

 

Why waste a single moment

 

Of  making the same mistake again

 

Life is awesome!

 



Trusted Friends

•  
• She walks with me, she sleeps with me
• she is my trusted friend
•  
• we connect with the elements
• to the trees, the wind, the clouds
• nature's own...
•  
• she does not detect nature's warnings
• warnings of a heart gone astray
•  
• let this poem end early
• before
• the heart astray

The poem will not end
the heart has more to say
to lose a beloved friend
for a year or two
is only cherished
when that friend returns

Just the simplicity of a "good morning sunshine"
makes me aware
of a love so strong
the connection
of divine love
still exists

Difficult to find
love on the same level
energy surging on the same vibrations
Once found
ever remaining

To this day
I am forever grateful
to more than words
can ever say
Friendship

my heart anchors for more
One day....
his heart
the "one"
not mentioned
will mesh with mine

Passion Unleashed

 

 

Passion soars

love

between a man and a woman

 

Passion soars

roaming these rooms

30 years of love

 

Passion soars

a place, a nook, a cranny,

there I turn

reality

returns

 

Passion soars

the love roams these rooms

I see your face,

your smile,

I see my love

 

Passion soars

children dance

children live

 

Passion soars

from the roams of your arms

a love existed

 

Passion soars

the love of our children

still remains

in every room

their laughter explodes

 

Passion soars

throughout the heartbreaks

Passion Soars

 

My mother

lost her passion

many years ago

what I see now

I cannot, will not repeat....

 

What one worries about

comes to fruition

I will always have passion

it is what makes me glow

 

A life so fulfilled

that only

passion knows

 

My life has been so

fulfilled

with my children

surrounding me

regardless

of their father

at hand

I know

I did  the best that I can

 

Passion still soars

with all these memories at hand

every room shares

a memory

which makes me sparkle

and smile

 

Passion lives

in my every desire

 

 



Magic in the Moon

 

Shattered

I closed the window

glass spewed

all amongst my paint

 

Magic in the moon

found tonight

as one glass

closes

another opens

as I returned

to the shattered

to pick up the pieces

tossed in the trash

one window shatters

another one opens

 

A lifetime of memory

bounces through my head

happy upon happy

to have what I have

 

Psychic emails

wants to reveal

the love of my life

a love I already knew

which was never real

 

Love

I have loved and lost

yet

I have loved and gained

 

In spite of it all

I have loved

 

What more would I ask

of this life of mine

that which I already have

 

Love

In my own space

In my own way

I have found love

Mostly,

I love myself.

 

If I had not found

this love of myself

I never would have

loved anyone else.

 

Love.

It goes around.

 

Grasshopper

 

 

Grasshoppers, fertility, happiness, abundance

taken to form

to hide

amongst whatever is in sight

 

Grasshoppers

a symbol of hope

a symbol of youth

a symbol

 

Grasshoppers

beauty

what is hidden

will be found in sight

 

Grasshoppers

a child's beauty

caught in hand

 

Only to let go

to become

what is

what was

to remember

a child's dream

a child's love

 

Grasshoppers

only to touch



Paradise

 

24" x 30" Acrylic with glitz on canvas

 

Ebb of the flow of the moon

passion rage

just one kiss

a touch

willing to let go

 

ebb of the flow of the moon

years return

anguish fills

the soul soars

no one is in control

 

Ebb of the flow of the moon

freedom seeks

letting go

ego dissolved

 

Ebb of the flow of the moon

words ring out

courage within

consequences succumb

truth rings out

painful yet honest

 

Ebb of the flow of the moon

the universe knows

Creation of beauty

in the face of  anger

Creation rings

beauty returns

 

 

 

Strength of a Wing

 

 

Strength of a wing

magically transports

a being's imagination

to flying free

 

Free to be

no limits

artistically

moved

by the thoughts

of flying free

 

Strength of a wing

so gently placed

reminding one

of a time not forbidden

 

A time where only

love exists

a time where no one is judged

a time where

all is good

 

Strength of a wing

brings courage and confidence

gratefulness and  thoughtlessness

Strength of a wing

Brings love

 

Strength of a wing

rising above

ego

 

Only seeing

being

defining

love

 

 

 

 

 



Sensational Colors of Pleasure

Sensational Colors of Pleasure

Sensational Colors of Pleasure

 

 

Freedom, ringing,

 

breathing, singing,

 

feeling, touching

 

moving, nudging,

with the angel on my shoulder

I experience

 

Sensational Colors of Pleasure



Flamingos

 

Two flamingos

seen as one

they come together

destiny

rings

 

No past, no present, no future

just 2 flamingos

passing in time

 

Ancient history reveals

there was a reason

there was a rhyme

 

Past flamingos

one flies

the other one yields

 

How can a past

affect a future

past flamingos

learn the wills

 

Life catching up

to the future

which is present

 

Name no labels

it only degrades

 

Past flamingos

flirting as innocent

 

Past flamingos

they catch up with will

 

With all the love inside

of me

Past flamingos

had a will

 

Smiling

the love within

still exists

 

Leaf



A leaf

blown from its tree

drifts off

for all to see

 

A leaf

no longer attached

to its roots

left alone

picking up

energy

 

A leaf

left for the wind

swirling

miraculously

 

Over time

shining

brilliantly

 

A leaf

nature's beauty

left

alone

for all to see

Living Moth - Reflection

 

The living moth

it clings itself to a glass

what does it see

It sees itself

Another soul

another being

if you believe all animals, all plants, all insects are sentient

 

The living moth

can teach so much

nature is my way

learning

discovering

all that is alive

all that has been alive

since before humans exist

 

Be still

listen

watch and learn

nature has its way

as a bee

pollinates a flower

nature's way

then moves on

to the next lovely flower

nature has its way

"True To Thy Own Self"

18" x 24" Acrylic, Glitz on Canvas

 

 

Thoughts random

passing me by

circumstances

stand

learn to be quiet

focus

listen to my heart

guiding me

coincidences

collide

 

True to my own self

listen inside

forgo

random thoughts

stop

listen

awareness

within

knowledge

wisdom

prevails

truth

of my own

 

Silence, no response

Truth speaks

louder than words

 

True To Thy Own Self

Peace

Joy

Happiness

Calming

With no reaction

Only love

lives within



Seeing, Feeling, Being, The Depth Within

 

Go within

the heart feels

the heart sees

the heart speaks

 

You are not the father

of my child

you are not the imagination

of what might have been

 

You do not earn the right

to care for

someone who is not yours

 

You lost that right

when you lost me

 

Go within

seek  deep

my conscious

does not require you

 

Your money has no boundaries here

 

Go within

Go away

I do not need a sacrifice from you

 

Just simply

go away

And then...
the pure heart
cleanses
in the light

Am grateful
you are still here
for him....

"Wind"

 

Wind blows

you cannot see it

can only feel it

 

I climb inside

into a photographer's mind

 

Wind

You cannot see it

Only feel it

 

Yet

a photographer captures

an image of the wind

 

The weathervane

a scientist's venue

mantles its pieces

to depict

the wind

 

The instrument

tells which way it is blowing

 

An artist

climbs inside

and becomes

the wind

 

You can feel it,

you can sense it,

you can breathe it,

but

you cannot be the wind

 

The soul lights up

then

begins

to become the wind

 

Lighting the way

shining upon the particles

the molecules

the atoms

 

Finding what's lost inside

the wind becomes the soul

connecting

to all

 

A love so strong

the mind stronger

withstanding all

the wind

 

Find the love

find the joy

find the happiness

in being

 

Much more than just the wind

 

 

 

 



Botanical Celebration

 

Botanical gardens

celebrate

flowers growing

freely

no resistance

to the human feeling

withstanding the winds

the weather

standing tall

withstanding humans

who think at all

botanical gardens

only knows nature

nature to strive

nature to be

botanical gardens

your light

shines upon me



 

 

When no words speak

only the heart feels

there you will find

sparkles in the dark

 

Love so magnificent

love so aimless

Yet it touches the heart

 

Sparkles in the dark



Old Man ~ Sailing the Moon ~ Sailor's Delight

 

 

Oil Pastels

 

Heaven on Earth
 

I believe in love

soul touching soul

chemistry connecting

feelings felt

waves vibrating

I believe in love





Flowers for Clyde

 

Rest in peace sweet man!

 

You will be missed!

 

 Clyde was my mother's boyfriend.  He died today at a nursing home at 3:15 p.m.  I was told he died peacefully, just like my dad.  He was 88 years old.  My mom was able to visit with him last week, yet, he didn't respond.  My mom will be told tomorrow that he has passed on. 

Life takes many twists and turns.  Until you live it, you can't understand it.  Love is what is in my heart right now.  My mom constantly reminds me of how her life sucks at 84 years old.  Yet, I am determined to turn that around.  Can't hurt to try.  She has almost just given up on life.  Not me.  I will probably be 100 and kicking and bitching just to be alive!

"You don't have a Soul. You are a Soul. You have a body."

Connected

 

To feel you

is to feel all

the touch of your skin

the smell of your hair

love

connects

all
