Victor Hugo - Transcends Time


Truedessa's Collection



A poet's soul longs for the mystic sea
collecting mementos, each picked with care
box of treasures, rose shells enchanted thee
waves of emotions, hidden pearl so rare

collecting mementos, each picked with care
10:10 tiny clock, the hour locked in time
waves of emotions, hidden pearl so rare
unlocking mystery, a bell does chime

10:10 tiny clock, the hour locked in time
partly threaded bracelet, preserving dreams 
unlocking mystery, a bell does chime
Victor Hugo, sets a romantic scene

partly threaded bracelet, preserving dreams
on distant shores, a wanderer did roam
Victor Hugo, sets a romantic scene
poetic verses, form in ocean foam

on distant shores a wanderer did roam
composing tales, a journey of yearnings
poetic verses, form in ocean foam
arousing dreams, thy heart is discerning

composing tales, a journey of yearnings
box of treasures, rose shells enchanted thee
arousing dreams, thy heart is discerning
a poet's soul longs for the mystic sea 

Author's note: This was written to bring
honor to this small treasure box, which
was found in an old family trunk.
I guess it was waiting for me!

Moonlight Paths


Photo - Freefoto.com



















Journey with me beyond the stars
filling magic lanterns with our dreams
seeking the wisdom of an avatar
riding the waves of moonbeams
wondering how we traveled thus far
sprinkling stardust, our hearts gleam
gateways open the universe is ours
wings of love redeemed....

The Art of Seven


Artist: Claudia Schoenfeld Used with Permission
Artist: Claudia Schoenfeld
Used with Permission



















In the heart there lives a song
filled with golden stars, blue moon
and amethyst skies that sing to me

in a cave a dragon begins to stir
pounding black & white keys
awakening to musical dreams

but, who will hear the melody

Lady of the Tree

Truedessa's collection

























A twilight walk to ease my soul
to find some sort of peace of mind
my thoughts like scattered seeds
blow in a summer breeze

two red winged blackbirds play
a game of hide and seek

over the horizon bursts of blazing
sun bids me goodnight,  just as
the silvery crescent moon rises
to guide me in my quest

circling the lake of reflection
each step bringing me closer
to my destination

around the deep end a coolness
touches my flesh, reminding me
of the dark time I have felt in life
the black crow pays a call
  caw
    caw

in flickering light shadowy figures
follow me, snuff not the dreams
yet full-filled

there seems to be a sudden stillness
as I approach a lovely willow
gazing upon nature's beauty
stirring my inner spirit, I see
her hidden in the the trunk
"The Lady of the Tree"

In silence, I look around
what have I found in this place
her long hair carved in the bark
a wreath of flowers settles on
her crown, her head tilted
downward toward the earth

I stand under her flowing branches
in a wispy breeze, as tears gently
fall watering her roots..

Hello " I whisper", I feel her
aura, cry not for what is lost
sometimes our dreams come
with a cost, cast your wishes
into my well and I will provide
you with a bucket to fill your
thirst.

Truedessa's Collection














learn from the past, search the
present for the desires of your
heart

in humbleness I stood as
a blue-jay came to rest
have I entered some mystical
realm with the "Lady of the Tree"

I will be like the willow allowing
myself the flexibility to bend with
the winds of change.

yes, a new song plays on wooden
flutes as life is just a heartbeat
away

Author's note:  Sharing with Poets United
I took this walk a couple of days ago
and I wanted to bring honor to the
"Lady of the Tree"
Sherry, thanks for the chat, this is what
was birthed...

Without Presence there is Absence

pic - unknown source









In the absence of light
  there is only darkness

In the absence of rain
  there is only drought

In the absence of peace
  there is only war

In the absence of love
  there is only hate

In the absence of friendship
 there is only loneliness

In the absence of vision
  there is only blindness

In the absence of sound
  there is only silence

In the absence of a mountain
  there is only a plateau

In the absence of dreams
  there is only reality

In the absence of you
  there is only emptiness

In the absence of death
  will there be ever-lasting life...

Beautiful Transformation

Truedessa's Collection

In a warm  sanctuary flutters life
life, a continuous circle of change
change, like the seasons we all do
do, you feel safe wrapped in a cocoon
cocoon, silken covering of protection
protection, so we might heal and grow
grow, so we might sprout strong wings
wings, to carry our dreams skyward
skyward, we look for new possibility
possibility, brings forth transformation
transformation, consciousness emerging
emerging, a unique creature in the journey
journey, evolving in the center of the heart
heart, filled with hope, joy and love
love, the key to a changing world!

Beyond the Stars

free wallpaper
 
The sparks between Tamsin and Aden did fly
as they soared on silver wings in a cobalt sky
alone in her chambers her mind drifts to him
her heart softly chants an ancient hymn
frequencies of energy flow from one to the other
the scent of love, dreaming in a sensual smother

wip - Verse

This is inspired by the short story I am
working on based on Alex's
Dragon of the Stars
