So cool
as you touch my lips,
I love the wet
and the spice of you
a rich perfume
that I can taste,
smooth
unblended nectar
like liquid velvet,
and in all the world
there’s none like you
at all
my jar of whiskey.

That hazy spring afternoon,
as the sun soaked us,
we wandered
in that field of flowers,
as the bees were taking nectar,
sugar drunk,
buzzing so excitedly,
and we laid down,
humming that sacred tune
for all we were worth,
so drunk on loving.

“There is no caste in blood.” Edwin Arnold
Of moons
it is merely of colour,
but of attraction it is mystery,
where the symphony of pulse,
a scherzo,
strangely warms and excites,
energising, drawing, urging,
and only when we are spent
does blood finally slow,
and once again
we return to earth.

“We’re going to have to let truth scream louder to our souls than the lies that have infected us.” Beth Moore
What’s not to like?
But you found a
thousand imperfections,
all unfounded and,
located in your unwillingness
to believe that you are
the jewel in the crown of my heart,
of which your greatest gift,
your unconditional love,
is the truest beauty of all.

Note: In astronomy terms the zenith is a location point directly above you.
“Filled with rapture his soul yearned for freedom, space, vastness.Over him the heavenly dome, full of quiet, shining stars, hung boundlessly … The silence of the earth seemed to merge with the silence of the heavens and the mystery of the earth touched the mystery of the stars.” Fyodor Dostoevsky
We reached for the indescribable point,
having left our anchored ordinary,
entering time without time,
and losing the rails of thought,
yet we knew a knowing,
as our bodies spoke an urgency,
to meet above ourselves,
and fall into luxurious abandon,
washed in desire.

Quadrille #72 – dversepoets – Steep
Photo: cloud, mist and rain over Bluff Knoll.
The rise sounds easy,
but the elevation compounds,
and my backpack weighs heavily,
as I clamber and scramble,
shin barked and breathless,
inching towards my goal,
O if only I’d taken the escalator
for this steep ascent,
the office to which I’m bound.

What Do You See? – Willow Poetry
Thanks for the prompt Helene Vaillant at Willow Poetry.
There’s many a thing left normally unseen,
and not least the closeness of other worlds,
but most of all,
I saw in a dream,
such a one who had opened their true heart,
was gifting their light,
an illumine of love for us all.

As I ordered my usual,
an enquiry came forth,
had I considered the new line?
A meaningful conversation ensued
about habits and patterns,
and change was advocated by and large,
then, as my coffee arrived, I said,
as I wryly smiled,
keep the change.

I remember,
as a child you were
sometimes so terrifying,
your anger could splinter my whole being,
and now, years later,
you are gone,
the terror long subsided,
my self more complete,
now I am trying to put together
the fragments
of you.

Those days,
when it all comes crashing down,
and logic whispers …
but the roar of misery is greater,
and though friends call round,
the pain lingers and,
though the tent of joy is rent wide,
the seamstress you need most,
is self-understanding,
cum amore.

the purpose of my blog is to show the revelations I've had through conquering my own personal battles and the expensive lessons i learned in the process, due to being shown unconditional love and acceptance in it's purest form as well as the daily struggles I face due to living with undiagnosed ADHD that is untreated, being a recovering addict, as well as a SURVIVOR of domestic violence. I do blog about various other things that catch my attention as well and also the things that i feel very strongly about! i can promise you my posts will not be boring! My RAW thoughts unsensored are not for the weak of heart!
I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO BUT MOSTLY THANK THE GUYS MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH BECAUSE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING STORIES ARE TRUE. Only names, dates and locations were changed to protect the fragile male ego.
