let it rain

A bliss in the mist
A diamond in the mud
An illustrative map
with keys that
mark their abode
My feet are too weary
to join the treasure hunt
I wait for the rain
to wash the blur away
while I lay back nibbling
on crunchy hopes and dreams
But alas! Spring is here
the wait will be long

dawn draws near

Early thoughts
like morning dew
on the petals of the hours
slow dancing in my mind
to a melancholic tune
what used to be
and what is
seem milky ways apart
Happiness as ancient
as the pyramids of pharoa kings
heading even further away
from the spirit of the Nile
The fossiled truth
lies deep within
the red sea in my veins
must grab me
snorkles and fins
to plunge

into the waters

of colorful wisdom
and love

a pelican's gift

The friend in my cousin
the family in my friend
an incident from conception
through lifetime it extends
branches out and caves in
wrapping around my soul
a gift for every season
to caress with my palm's sole
one of twenty four
twenty four in one
the friend in my cousin
the family in my friend

I'm inspired
I'm expired
I'm the angel
with desires

I'm a vehicle
Without wheels
I'm an eagle
with wings of steel

I'm the freedom
trapped in rage
I'm the actress
on an empty stage

I'm a woman of substance
in a void-man’s world
I’m a loud voice
With echo unheard

I'm the flow
that I obstruct
I'm me
on auto self destruct

I’m you
Who I can’t recall
I'm everything
and nothing at all
