Fish Bowl...

NY has my Heart.

marvel in marvelous...

Boom Boom Boom...

Grab your things

Go and take me home

Crystal caverns your colors shine into me

Surrounding my space, mixing and matching

You cleanse and color

Paint me over

Rainbow me Ruby

And let it flow

Pouring passion

(from Paris to Syracuse)

(my obsession w/ 4am, Paris)

   Give me everything tonight

Dancing solo

Eyes peeled the light will burn

Literally

Hold on and move

Right and left

Hip that hip and let go

Feel tonight's night

Take on the attitude

Night rider

For all we know we might not get tomorrow--

A very long engagement...

Last night you, yes you.

Entered my dreams.

I have set you aside for some time-

How funny how those dreams swirl 

into my thinking mind

 This time not waking to satisfaction-

rather deep

I was behind. Everything.

And I lost you, for

ever

I don't know what to do with you

I'm ok

But then you cross my mind

And I cross my fingers

Looking up and then down

Back and forth

Riding the waves of unknown

For without certainty I will be

As we all must

But I forgot how I felt sad

I forgot how each morning challenged me to find the thanks

The harmony where the peace will flow

She said I wish you were somewhere else.

I wish you had a chance to let it go.

I said, it's ok here.

I'm happy here.

On a quest I ride the rocking boat.

Not looking for anything in particular

Just looking for adventure-

But I have to make it here.

I make it wherever I am.

Quite a long engagement, you and I.

Quite a long time, you and I.

Quite a story, you and I.

Quite us.

We are quite us.

I miss our us.

Invitation to Quiet...

(Daughters of Simone dress)

Quiet.

Slow down silly girl.

Take your time-

do not wound your pride

Breathe your movement

for you will blind yourself if you

focus too hard

Your job is to feel good.

Keep your mind still and vibrate--

Let it be. It will be.

You know this is not it.

You know this is not, it.

You know, this is not

it.

It-

will come...

Take the invitation to fall into

Fall-ing leaves

Dance along with her Earth beat

It's is a time to rest

Delve into deep-

those pure thoughts

thick like maple syrup

sticky and seductive dripping

slow amber

The sun...

Here it comes

the sun

Raise your head

look at see--

hit & run

 Kaleidoscope of color

Triangle angles

Scream for miles

I dreamt last night-

deeply

Here it comes

I wait for it

Here it comes

some day I'll find it

Here it comes

Patterns continue

Shapes form a new

come

Through the looking glass...

I'll take the camera

Peer back at you

Look at what I can do-

Play too

This is it, he said.

This is it.

No, she said.

Sometimes you just got what you got.

Go for it.

Just do it.

Moon shadows...

Don't want to lose ya-

In the darkness comes another

Hold my hand

Let me breathe in your arms

I will relax

Hold me

Who will explore this way-

With me

Find me painted in the stars

Orion's belt

Points to my cheek

Come be with me.

Just for now.

Just now.

Don't want to lose ya...

I never knew ya...

See like me

Feel like me

Watch me

See you

Feel you

Messy Morning...

Embrace your crazy.

Fluttering mind

Rewaking alarm clock-

Ringing again and again and again

And again-

This time I will rise--

Quick to grab and mark

Work away to beat the sun

Knowing it will rise

You won't fall

Crazy mind. Thoughts of this

and that.

From one to the next.

Work busy bee

Get on track

It's ok. To let it go-

Watch how it controls

With satisfying checks

off of lists-

The day to day build up under

Control

Breathe into your crazy.

fuck it

I'm off to New York

Street Beat...

Have you ever wondered the streets moving

freely about-

dancing in your flow letting it go? 

Sometimes this is quite satisfying,

but at other times you may feel

guilty. Or too vulnerable-

Maybe it invites the gaze of others. 

 

But to see someone breathe and follow their inclination is a gift- Maybe people notice because it is an act of following

one’s own path.

It is a surrender to the fluidity of their being.

And maybe that’s what we all want.

Just to allow us all to be as we want to be.

 

I say dance in the streets.

Halo of light...

 Hold yourself.

Never let go.

And then do-

Everything is alright, now and always, and forever-

And ever

I have everything I need now.

I felt that last night.

In your arms.

Where I seem to hold tight.

In the dark I'm free to go-

Though I prefer the sun

I stare into you while the moon circles my heart

It's fullness pinches the thud of my pulse

Learning to let go

Think I can see it now-

Well nevermind

Everything changes like the flip--

of a nickel.

It's shiny, appealing, deceiving-

How will I feel come morning?

I don't know-

But I think I can see it now.

All we have is NOW

Juggle books

Where ideas mesh as they sit inside

Waiting for their long drives into wandering paths

Ice cream fields

Will you come back--

Eventually

Let the smoke rise.

Breathe into the cloud of beauty

With perfume sweat.

Cultivate Compassion...

Look up. Out the window to light.

Feel the strength of the ages.

Transform to grace.

Your seed of compassion sits inside.

What conditions water your being?

Feel the cool rush-

And freedom

Fresh Breath...

Happy and content

Alone in the parade

Feeling the inspiration sneak in and invade-

Playing with letters and signs and things

Wandering the streets bending my knees

Top hat baller with you I feel taller

Smiling before I know what to do

Shy and uncurled

I think of you
