Cherry blossoms,
Floating like butterfly wings,
Winds kissing the tress,
Beautifully impermanent,
We are speck of dust in the eternal dance,
Spinning and floating like wind kissed blossoms,
Only here for a moment,
An kiss from our mother’s lips,
A whispered prayer,
A beating heart,
Silence.

NaPoWriMo Day 14 and Day 15
Poem Day 14
The distance between us is measured in heartbeats… if you listen closely you can hear mine drumming the rhythm of your dancing feet… We’ve become masters at tap dancing around the tough issues, and my fingers have gotten better at tap dancing poems, I write because the songs in my head need words, the echos of prayers I use to send up to a God with really bad cell phone reception.. Maybe one day she’ll check her voice mails.. until then, I’ll write the poems and bleed the words…
Poem Day 15
If I could be a flower I would be dandelion… The prettiest weed in the bunch. She thrives on sunshine and wishes… I wanna be like that, a whispered breath, breaking open, planting infinite seeds of possibility across all creation..
Day 9 NaPoWriMo Poem
You were my sweetest mistake… Like forbidden chocolate when I am on a diet… you are the empty calories I’ve learned not to count on… I feed myself on your words, but the shards of your promises slice me open from the inside… You and I feed of one another… Like Gods dining on used up souls… let us feast, pray, and be full.
