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

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

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

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 ...
