Stepping in Time

Credit - Truedessa





































will you follow me through the door
unravel secrets from another time
hidden passageways for us to explore
staircase to the universe, steps to climb
seven stars in the night, offer a sign
will you listen to the ancestor's songs
dawn sings of a place for us to belong

Scratching the Surface


I  have a never-ending itch
seven days a week
barely scratching the surface of
my affliction

There is no magical
spray or lotion that can
soothe this restless heart

I inked you into my flesh
linking verses to ease the
rough  bumps of life


written for dVerse
a quadrille incorporating
the word itch using
44 words.

Happy 7th Anniversary dVerse

Dragons Dwell in Poetic Wells




Thirsty for life, sitting at the poetic well
drinking from the cup of salvation
dreaming of a land where dragons dwell

wizard of words, left his magical spell
mastering the fine art of flirtation
thirsty for life, sitting at the poetic well

  creating magical sonnets, a story to tell
grab that glimpse of love, no hesitation
dreaming of a land where dragons dwell

castles await, journey with me to the parallel
sipping syllables of sweet conversation
thirsty for life, sitting at the poetic well

channeling lyrical verses, moon tides swell
opening hidden waterways to imagination
dreaming of a land where dragons dwell

knights disappear without a farewell
morning sun, brings a new revelation
thirsty for life, sitting at the poetic well
dreaming of a land where dragons dwell

Time is Now


credit - unknown
 
When will then be now
when will we share a dream
tears fall from the willow bough
musical flute, love to redeem

When will then be now
when will we find our way
it's said hearts always know how
awakening to life, a new day

When will then be now
when will we truly believe
how many fields must we plow
planting seeds before we sleep

When will then be now
when will our eyes truly see
how many visions will time allow
before our dreams set us free
