Mighty Dragon Flies



Two Brothers by Elenor Abbott




















facing  elements  mighty  dragon flies
embracing  earth , wind , water  & fire 
unleashing his spirit in spacious skies

mysteries of  life captured in  his eyes 
singing ancient songs, his heart inspire
facing elements mighty dragon flies

filling water basins below,  heaven  cries
earthly  dreams  arousing  inner  desire 
unleashing his spirit in spacious skies

soaring  new dimensions counter clockwise
courageous creature , winds lift him higher 
facing elements mighty dragon flies

traveling  lands  where  legends  never die 
diamond  studded stars, echoes of a choir 
unleashing his spirit  in spacious skies

golden rays of  light in morning  sunrise   
beating purple heart , mysteries  transpire
facing  elements  mighty dragon flies
unleashing his spirit in spacious skies

Blurry Silhoutte

photo by Francesca Woodman
spinning
out of control
do you recognize her
in the realm of vacant spaces
fading

~
dancing
shadows of life
captured in black and white
blurry silhouette shades of grey
blending

~
empty
lot of desire
capturing swift movement
dancing into oblivion
waning

Blue Jay's Song














Sing to me blue jay this cold winter day
truth of the heart nestled in silken wings
on restless feet yearning to fly away
sing to me blue jay this cold winter day
remembering my dreams of yesterday
enchanting melodies your music brings
sing to me blue jay this cold  winter day
truth of the heart nestled in silken wings

Frenzy





















I dance myself into a frenzy
under blue moonlight
to the drums sultry beat
letting my inhibitions go
flushed in warm moonbeams
casting worries into the night
my heart pounds to the rhythm
as dreams drift towards starlight
I dance myself into a frenzy

Imperfections



through the looking glass
a different dimension of me
soft reflections of who I am
longing for you to touch me 
lightly with your fingertips
tracing my imperfections
against my nakedness
can you feel me
the true me
I wish not
to hide
open
your
eyes
and
you
will
see
me

Weaving Strands of our Being

















they  say   dreams  are  for  believing
weaving
adventure in  faraway   lands  
strands
pearls of  wisdom  overseeing
of  our  being 
letting  go  can  be  so  freeing 
close  your  weary  eyes  drift   away 
let  your  inner  child  out  to   play 
weaving strands of  our  being

Desert Rose

photo by Ed Rose


 My eyes have seen the desert rose
roaming barefoot where the wind blows
memories filled with hopes and dreams
ancient secrets I yearn to know

soft flesh pierced by the thorns of life
bleeding from the cuts of a knife
wounds heal in a tequila sunrise
leave behind the battles of strife

in the distance a flamenco beat
soft petals swirling at my feet
sweet aroma delicate blossom
wilting in the garden of defeat 

my heart is in a solemn place
in the desert land seeking grace
to the songs of the cactus wren
waiting for sunlight's warm embrace
