Sand and Sea

Hush hush, I'm coming to thee
Grab me now, kiss me now
Blend me, bend me
cuddle me, tickle me
Don't ask me how...

Hush, I'm coming to thee.

And i am back :-)

I am a Miracle

I am poverty
I am disease

I am hunger
I am thirst

I am impotent
I am profuse

I am famine
I am drought

I am hay
I am straw

I am rag
I am unproportioned

I am a curse
I am a catastrophe

I am a destitute
I am a vacancy

BUT I am a miracle
Because I survive
I live without any black,
yellow or white

A This and A That

A tide that rattles and hisses and snores
A wave that benumbs the silence of the shore

A road that calls and ferries big and small
A highway that falls and robs many of all

A girl and a boy too young to be coy
a man and a woman too old to deify

A pencil that sharpens a poets wits
A pen that sings and feathers the hits

A hammer that sings and flattens the bump
A gong that sounds and soothes the grizzly lump

A game of hide and seek when chased in the sun
a game of snakes and ladders when reaching for the bacon

a this and a that
a cap and a hat
chapped lips, cracked heels

Thats all for the show.

Inexplicable

Some things are hard to explain. you've got to dig deep into the flesh to know whats in there ... Really... ♥

Me, a reigning lass

I remember the rainy day
when i swayed and swayed
with barley on my way

I remember the twigs and twittering birds
making love to May
amidst the sleeping herd

I remember the rawness of the man
i met and gave an invite
which now is but a fan

To all who love
to all who want
I'm but a butterfly

I'll sit there not
I'll sit here not
I'm all i want, i am.

(inspired to write... though its definitely not as good a response to one of my friend's poem -  http://domeoftheduke.blogspot.com/2009/06/letter-from-my-next-lane-lass.html)

Crimson -Toe

The stars came down last night
caressing me.

And with their tiny toes painted crimson
walked past my woes.
