Body Paint

painting by Cesar Santos

paint me
as you see me
use your artistic eye
 palette of resplendent colors
find me
~
canvas
creating art
 painter's own perspective
brushstrokes discovering magic
feel me
 ~
beauty
depth of the soul
create a masterpiece
golden moon and silver stars meet
breathless

One of those Days!





 sitting here havin' one of those days
some bad times I've had my share
 hearts lead us in mystical ways
I want you to know I still care...

connected soaring the heavens
crossing  the intergalactic realm
seeking the beauty of our essence
kindred souls we stood at the helm

writing our stories in the stars
our names written across the sky
love is the secret to healing scars
floating on wispy clouds feeling high

sitting here havin' one of those days
some bad times I've had my share
hearts lead us in mystical ways
I  want you to know  I still care...

on the bridge between two worlds
the northern star guides us home
on giant wings our destiny unfurled
celestial highways, we yearn to roam

illuminating in the frequency of love
grasping the meaning of who we are
speckles of dust hope shines from above
closing our eyes dreams aren't so far

sitting here havin' one of those days
some bad times I've had my share
 hearts lead us in mystical ways
I want you to know  I still care...

Bubbles















sinking naked into her little oasis
daily strife slowly fizzles away
in a blue sea of foaming bubbles
drifting towards a flower filled
paradise, relaxing to soft music
inhaling rosebuds and lime trees
a poetess bravely dares to dream
please don't burst her bubble

Quadrille 3 - 44 words using
the word bubble.

Expanding Love

Christ in the Wilderness by Stanley Spencer
 



















In a vast field of wildflowers love grows
expanding the boundaries of the heart
delicate daisies will open and glow
in a vast field of wildflowers love grows 
enlightenment in parables and prose
shadowy darkness in light will depart
in a vast field of wildflowers love grows
expanding the boundaries of the heart

Heart of Winter


in heart of winter
your touch warms my waiting flesh
promises of spring waters
Budding Sycamore, 1875
 warming buds of spring
branches blossom with new hope
soft petals of bliss emerge

author's note: I am awaiting spring
is has been extremely cold here

Poetic Songs

 

 A dreamer roams in a faraway land
searching paths for the troubadour of song
following ones true heart cannot be wrong
sonnets of love music she could understand

poetic lyrics and lute, heart held in his hand 
serenade me my love away from the throng
a dreamer roams in a faraway land
searching paths for the troubadour of song

under moonlight tipping hourglass of sand
swept away by melodies singing along
between notes finding a place to belong
magical sound under a willow strand
a dreamer roams in a faraway land

I found this to be challenging
as I haven't been feeling well..

Vigilantly Waiting



along a rocky coastline , I  stand 
echoes of mystery , drifting  waves 
his ship sailed towards a distant land 
 turbulent waters, fearless & brave

 vigilantly , waiting for his return 
 reclaiming treasures  promised to me
 raging waters trail beyond the stern 
 shadowy figure , captain of the sea

guarding hidden  harbor of my heart 
you once took refuge in my loving arms 
my soul grieved the day you did  depart 
 spellbound by the tides magical charms 

pierced by a harpoon whales saddest song 
 awakening  dreams , sleeping too long ...
