Yours--#AZ Rains/Wings Series--Angels, Guardians, & Soul Mates

The earth shatters around me

Each time you speak my name.

The silence I hear 

As you look at me

Is all that I can see

Each time I think about

You reaching out to touch me.

I see it all so clearly

Your hands on me

Your face close to mine

Your breath in my ear.

Your pulse racing

I feel your heartbeat against my chest

See your jaw tighten

Your breath catch in your throat.

Your silence kills me

Always silence

Your eyes that never leave me

Your head turns slightly

Tilts up to look to look down at me 

through shadowed eyes.

That look

That one

That catches me off guard

Always surprises me

How I stop breathing for that

One second in time

As you've again captured me

you know I won't look away.

Hold me here

Is what I always seem to say to you

Hold me in this separate place

Atatched to another existence

Where only you & I can be

Let the rest of them drift away.

The rain starts
As it always seems to
When I'm with you
Like a enchanted god
Bringing my survival into view.

Kiss me
It's all I want from you
In this moment
In this place you've made real
Kiss me
Taste what only belongs to you.

Reverence--AZ Rains/Angels,Guardians,&Soul Mates/Hope&Survivors Series

All's quiet.

I hear only your name.

On my lips

In my mind.

Rain all around me

& somehow I hear nothing but you.

Your taste on my mouth

A recent memory.

Or maybe that's only me

Remembering how I thought you felt.

How you might feel 

On my tongue.

Touch

Is all I see 

When I look at you.

A thought

A fleeting moment.

When I imagined you

Around me.

Your arms around my body.

Your hands on my hips

Sliding onto my waist.

Your face.

Lord

It's all I see.

Even as I close my eyes

I can only seem to conjure your face.

Those eyes that see everything 

And I hate you for what you know.

A sigh out of that beautiful mouth

Settles on my skin

As you look at me.

Contentment & confusion .

At me.

With me.

It feels the same

& you know.

You know everything

& still you return.

Again & again.

And again.

You hold me here in your sights
& pin me to this wall of transparency
& of clarity
That scared me once.
But no more.
I let you hold me there.
Arms over me 
Looking down at me.
Eyes that don't pierce me
Like they once could.

Because I've seen myself.
Seen what I am.
Know what is there
And I don't terrify me anymore.
Not even you can scare me any more.

I let you come to me.
In this darkened place.
Rain pours at my feet
Soaks in my clothes.
I leave my shoes behind
A sacrifice to the nature 
Of the beast that once was.

I walk free now.
Unincombered by practicality 
By so called truth.
I stand here
A wet goddess.
Here before you
& demand your offering.
Your truth.
Your faith.
Your eternity.

These Ppl In My Mind--Mystical&Sacred/Wings/AZ Rains Series--Invisible Inspiration On My Blog

You'll see many of the same ppl here.

Many the same way, over & over again.

Many you'll see reencarnated as something new 

But familiar.

Safe.Loved.

Many of these ppl, are in fact, real living flesh & blood ppl.

They are who I've become over time--& I want you to know them...because 

They are me & I am them 

In many ways-- or at least in the way I see them here.

Then there are the ones I see 

Only with my minds eye.

The ones a logical eye would call my daydreams.

And a clinical eye may call a way to see my world 

Through fantasy colored glasses.

I share these ppl with you...because they are also a part of me.

They are how I wish to see things.How I believe things could be.

And how, in some ways, I feel things really are.

I think this world is full of symbles--Signs--Magic.

And yes--Maybe this is simply hope--But hope is key my friends.

Hope is what creates doubt--Doubt that what we see is all there really is--That maybe there really is more.

And more is good.More is beautiful.

More is what creates a picture of faith--Of a future--Of a new beginning.

Of a place we haven't seen yet--But we know exists.

That's where I wish to take you.

Somewhere magical.

Hop on & enjoy the ride.

Teaching Me

Nature In My Neighborhood -- Adult Entries 

I see you each morning

& you welcome me.

I hear you each night 

& you let me know I'm not alone.

You grow

Reminding me things pass away

& are reborn again.

You share your sorrows 

& let me celebrate your victories.

I always feel honored

Forever--#EarthDay Poetry Contest Entry--Glendale Public Library

Forever

Vanishing Animals -- Adult Entries 

Our lives

You & I.

Intersect & inner twine

Like the webs I see in front of me.

Without you

I wouldn't be me.

I wouldn't be who I am.

If I didn't know you 

& even those who came before me.

For this life

This place

Is me 

Is you.

We are one

You & I.

Forever.

Freedom--Published--#EarthDay Poetry Contest--Glendale Public Library

Freedom

Protecting Our Earth -- Adult Selections

We have the ability to do what we will.

To be whatever we feel.

But with it, we choose to hurt those

Who depend on us most.

Those who speak not words

But silent pleas.

To save what belongs to all of us.

What we as Guardians of this place

Must do.

Spreading kindness

Compassion

Heath

Life

Survival.

Then we must.

Freedom to live & love.

And be.
