For those who study astrology, I am triple water. I am Pisces sun, with Cancer rising and a Scorpio moon. Being an empath, with triple water,
sometimes overflows both the emotion that I feel and others around me feel. Poetry has always been my release. It is my way of letting the
emotions flow through me. You will find a wide spectrum of emotion on this page, some belonging to myself, and some belonging to others, but all
written by me. If you would like to read more of my poetry, click here to visit my poetry blog.
Heaven
Escape with me to a world unknown
Where nothing matters except love and life
Where children play without fear
No more hardship, no more strife.
Where roses bloom throughout the winter
And grass nor trees ever die
Where sunshine is a friend, not an enemy
And no one is ever sad to cry.
A place where no evil egos exist
So there is never a person who is mean
There, all the world is a splendid place
And ugly faces are never seen.
I close my eyes and see this place
With castles cascading from the air
Where money nor gold is a requirement
And in all the land, nothing is unfair.
A land where people are not afraid to love
And hearts are given without fear
Where laughter and happiness fill every day
We'll live for each moment we are here.
Position yourself wherever you may be,
Amongst the stars; a shining light.
Glow openly from within your soul,
And let your spirit take flight.
Love everyone you see openly;
Let go and be one with all;
Be as you are intended to be;
Let your light shine bright and tall.
Sound Judgement
Criminally insane, of defense, I have not.
Though free and clear I have never been;
Lost to the world and all those in it.
Of this, i am most certainly guilty of sin.
A world of imaginary personalities,
Fear where the outcome is already known,
Life is full of passion and inspiration,
Though now tame, I reap as I have sown.
My spirit is free as it always has been;
The walls about me could never bar that;
Though try as they might to force control,
It is only behind these walls I have sat.
A tender character is one that is born;
Life only molds through what is around;
The soul will endure for lessons learned.
Who is the judge of what is sound?
Morning in its ever lasting glow
Upon the dew of the mountain
The sweet smell of another day;
A cool drink from nature's fountain.
The chill of the year's first snow,
Or the smell of the rain on the pines;
The brilliant color of a perfect rose;
A taste of nature's intoxicating wine.
Sweet Revenge
Hearty is the voice of laughter I hear,
Likely wonder it is my very own!
I waited forever for the end result;
Though whether worth it is yet to be known.
If it comes around, around it must go!
Myth or truth? I did decide;
Through experiment and utmost patience;
In the end, it is evident who lied.
Friends you discover in truth so soon,
When trust is needed in desperate form;
Fear seperates the ones who believe,
Cold now, the look that should be warm.
Envy and prestige be yours ever more,
If listening and patience keep wise;
For none the better for precious revenge,
Was it truly worth the ultimate prize?
Mountain Bliss
Pillowy softness, endless still
Among the skies so high;
Blue smoke among the heavens,
Though never of nature shy.
Mountains of forest lusture
Where rivers flow through;
Wildlife in ever abundance;
Every day is fresh and new.
Rain to cool the days,
Beautiful colors of fall;
Snow capped beauty by winter;
Summer is best of all!
Shaded by southern trees,
In a land full of clean air;
Our haven in the hills;
Our peace within our prayer.
Two Faces
However would the morrow seem now,
Endless ponder I am sure awaits me;
Beneath the stars I saw the light;
Luck is mine for no one else to see!
Though fool I'm sure I must seem,
Truth be known, I see clear;
No more moments of time wasted;
Stories I won't be around to hear.
Loyalty should be an easy offer,
Given, it is, only in instance rare;
Matched by the lack of trust;
Face of expression we all share.
Thoughts read by a look of eyes;
Secrets revealed, though not intended;
Would not a better place be
One where none had pretended?
Self Encounter
An illusion of magnificent reality
Caught in the image of mind's eye;
Restlessly waiting for opportune times;
Relentlessly aching to defy.
A pillar of the endless cycle,
Standing stubbornly in its path;
Proud and true, a dream of past
Roaring hysterically with its wrath.
A vision of one's mirror of self;
Mocking the realization of sight,
Smiling with a sense of great will;
Wings open wide for night flight.
Risk Factor
Centuries of lessons have I learned;
I have risked all to be free!
A dilemma, there never has been;
To happiness, risks are the key.
There are things I would not risk,
But only one or two of order;
Still those are not for gamble;
The key, in part, is drawing the border.
Know what you are willing to lose;
The prize worth all the more;
Freedom is not to be taken lightly
For even, always becomes the score.
A Medium's Prayer
It is a mystery still to me;
Those to whom I fall prey;
Lost souls flock to my nest
Though they tend not to stay.
I care for the weak
By feeding them strength;
I give only what I receive;
My soul has not length.
I only show them the way
To finally release and fly free;
I cannot control, although
What they choose to be.
It is only my understanding,
All I have to offer within;
With the hope one lost soul
Will finally be able to transcend.
Reunion
The man who has stolen my heart
Through centuries o darkness and light,
Stands before me now in perfect vision
Just as I was giving up the fight.
Hie eyes are bold and a wise steel blue;
His hair is of the darkest raven;
Stature in perfect compliment of my own;
Brilliantly smiling and clean shaven!
Locked in the recognition of mates;
The world seems suspended in time;
All around notice the explosion;
Hearts that were so hard to find.
So long had we waited painfully
In search of our missing piece;
Past travels mean nothing now.
The search, now, will finally cease.
If I could only wish upon a star,
That I might be where you are;
I'd fill each moment with a kiss,
And tell you how very much I miss,
The smile that warmed every day,
The funny things you would say,
The twinkle in your eyes so bright,
If I could see you I just might,
Risk everything I hold so dear,
Just to have you with me here.
I'd swim across the Atlantic ocean,
To set things in their proper motion.
It would not be courage I would lack,
If I thought you could be back,
Within the arms made only for you;
There is truly nothing I would not do.
Seek Within
Today, I saw the light through your eyes-
Buried beneath all the rubble and stone
Waiting with anticipation to be released-
And through the world, its brilliance grown.
A Healer’s energy within you, I feel-
Powerful beyond many masters of healing-
Why then, do yourself, not heal-
But instead, cover yourself in armored shielding?
Deserving of all that is you and within you-
Though feeling of all, the least deserving;
Helping everyone around you in some way-
But always, left with a constant yearning.
It is deep within you to discover-
Seek for it with new and different eyes-
Eyes that see within and not without;
It is there, every answer you seek lies.
