A Mournful Song


Pic @ Truedessa 



















Red robin came to sing one day
in grief, I wished he'd go away

covering my ears so not to hear
he just wanted to bring some cheer

my heart out of tune with the beat
wearily tapping my heavy feet

and there must be something wrong
in wanting to silence a birdsong

Writing a cover Poem at dVerse
inspired by the following:


 A Minor Bird by Robert Frost

I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;

Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.

The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.

And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song

Bumpy Dream


Pic Truedessa's Collection
















From heaven a star child once fell
within her heart a dream did dwell
lyrical songs , a magical spell
bumpy ride she could not foretell


poetic words spilled from her soul
penning verses on ancient scrolls
on secreted roads, she did stroll
seeking pieces to make her whole


weary from travel, on knees she fell
clinging to words, parchment scrolls
in mystic dew, a dragon on a stroll
new vision fortune she could foretell


awakening dreams, within her soul
opening space, for love to dwell
sleeping under a wondrous spell
healing torn wings, feeling whole


with clarity she can now foretell
embracing love's magical spell
forever the melody will dwell
from heaven a star child once fell

Embracing the Blues

artist unknown

















the blues have a way of hitting you hard
especially when you hear  a weeping harp
they say it's all about rhythmic breathing
i  think it's a bit like making love, engaging
mouth, lips and tongue in musical dialogue
releasing tension with each breath

Nature's Chair for All to Share



Truedessa's Collection





















come sit with me on nature's chair
open your mind to beauty outside
autumn trees have a story to share
sharp-shinned hawk, your guide

open your mind to beauty outside
there is a world of wondrous color
sharp-shinned hawk, your guide
open your eyes, see and discover

there is a world of wondrous color
behold, the spirited red dragonfly
open your eyes, see and discover
on iridescent wings, soaring high

behold, the spirited red dragonfly
can you feel  the winds of change
on iridescent wings, soaring high
whispering in a land now strange

can you feel  the winds of change
great ancestors know your feelings
whispering in a land now strange
come to the river for quiet healing

great ancestors know your feelings
rise up beneath emotional waters
come to the river for quiet healing
breakdown your inner borders

rise up beneath  emotional waters
autumn trees have a story to share
breakdown your inner borders
come sit with me on nature's chair

Beneath a Super-Moon




dancing beneath a super-moon
drum beats out a mystical tune
silhouettes sway in rays of light
restless souls in a mystic night

dreaming beneath a super-moon
wrapped in a warm silken cocoon
lucid visions bring forth delight
restless souls in a mystic night

singing beneath a super - moon
rhythmic melodies, blissful swoon
cosmic stars, burning golden bright
restless souls in a mystic night

Heart of Grace

wikimedia 












Autumn swans swimming
sunlight now dimming
love rises in depths of night
finding grace in dreams
under soft moonbeams
together we can take flight

floating feather light
sweet songs of delight
entwined in a cosmic glow
darkness drifts away
in the warmth of day
before the winter snow blows

Right on Que

searching for the  bigger story of life
thought I'd find it at 21st Century Fox
driving through the gate in a pink Cadillac
wearing leopard capri's and cheap sunglasses
man enters on cue,  singing out the blues
baby, I have a song for you..

It's Been A While




Dancing in the rain Adrian Borda














it's been a while
since I've seen your smile
your words echo in moments of silence
I can still feel the pain & joy in the rain
I'll talk to you when I can

it's been a while
since we shared our thoughts
I gave you my heart, my soul
I let you into my secret world

It's been a while
since we dared to dream
caught in the magic of words
sleeping in sheets, curled

It's been a while
since I've seen your smile
your words echo in moments of silence
I can still feel the pain & joy in the rain
I'll talk to you when I can...

It's been a while
since,   I've heard your songs
entwined in the beauty of us
in stillness,  our notes swirled

It' s been a while
since,  you drifted away
I'm still here, waiting to fly
in the wings,  curtains furled

It's been a while
since I've seen your smile
your words echo in moments of silence
I can still feel the pain & joy in the rain
I'll talk to you when I can...

It's been a while
since, I sent you a smile
hope in a luminous sky
forgiveness in a misty pearl

Let us dance again and feel the rain!
