Betoken

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

Subtle betoken
  My veil has dropped
    Was this dark life so dim
      Feeling this ice within my veins
        This darkness resides my brethren
Windows tinted with malicious spirits inside
  Can you hear these noises
    Feigning voices this screaming resides
      My own depth wanting so shallow
        This pain suggest I die
When dim thoughts harrow my mind
  My […]

Thankful Coffee

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

                       A few drips
                                      Amazing what they do
             Mixing with water
                                     Something to brew
                   Bitter like life
                                     Warmed with compassion
Best mixed with friendship
                                     And simple conversation

Describing Beautiful

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

If I could tell you how simply beautiful you are, if there was a way for a moment, a fraction of a second…to let you know how perfectly graceful your soul is…
I would ask myself ‘Do I think you are beautiful’
and I would answer, without pause or hesitation-
‘Without a doubt’

Sun, where do you go?

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

I watched a sunset on Edmonds beach last evening. It is one of the best places in Washington to watch sunsets. It got me started on a whole set of thoughts which led to writing this poem today. Something about the hues and colors of a sunset has always brought something to my heart. Maybe […]

Turmoil

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

Have you ever had one of those days when everything you is questioned by yourself? I have and sometimes do. This morning I thought about it and jotted the idea down. Nothing like trying to argue with yourself.
 Turmoil

                             I did it
                                      No I didn’t
                   I followed you
                                      No you are lost
              I came from here
                                      […]

Maybe

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

This was written specifically with the feeling of chance wondering. The type of feeling you have when you are sitting on the fence and not knowing which way to go. I often feel that way to the last moment.

Maybe

          Sometimes I wonder
                                       In life and who I am
    I see the glory of feeling
                                       Maybe […]

Quiescence Rose

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Some people are born quiet. Every action they take is toned down. The real them is hidden by a veil of silence or simply muffled under a flurry of noises. I used to be like this. To the point that I often didn’t share my voice with anyone. I occasionally see it now in other […]

Peaceful Living

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

I realized one thing I really used to like about being close to someone in a relationship- breathing. There is something so calming to me to hear a restful breathing not my own or the steady heartbeat of someone you care for. There is a very peaceful effect of feeling and hearing the rhythm, to […]

Burning Regret

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Sometimes there are so many things to question. In any type of relationship there are things to question, but I purposely try not to think about them. Sometimes there are decisions that you can look at and think how it would all change if someone felt different or had made another decision. I thought back […]

Thinking of her

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

I hadn’t seen her for days. I felt somewhat lost about it. I mean really, why should I be so wanting to find out about her week? There wasn’t much going on with her, but I just wanted to hear her voice and see her smile. Hearing about a simple week would be so invigorating […]
