was all around
when he took my hand
in the quiet wood
the trees held
a hopeful breath
& shed a flurry of leaves
all about us
as he kissed me,
they exhaled
a gentle breeze
that shook the world
they wanted to believe
in fairytales
just as much
as we did.

& ended up
on a side quest
that lasted years
when I returned
to the right track
the way was blocked,
there was no
going back
as I reeled & spun
in every direction
that was when
I realised
that
this
was
just
life.

Write me a poem about wrong turns and dead ends
About one ways and doubling back
Write me a poem about wayfinding.

somewhere between
dusk & midnight
under the moon's
lush light,
where illicit delights
are unlocked
where a love, immense,
can be made flesh
in deeds intense,
all cover-ups stripped
souls & bodies bared
the place where
spiritual fire ignites
carnal desires—
meet me there.

Weight of old grudges like anchors bind but forgiveness a balm for hearts maligned
With open hearts compassion our creed, for in forgiving we find true freedom, but forgetting, maybe indeed

let the sun be my lips
warming the softness
of your cheeks
If I can't hold you
let a blanket be my arms
wrapped gently
around your shoulders
If we cannot talk
let the breeze be my mouth
whispering words
into your heart
Dearest one,
feel my love
all around you.

in the hatred junkyard—
the smell makes my
soul wither
cleverer to hang out
in that half-way arena
where my feelings
can simmer
& I can take a look
in the mirror to figure out
who the hatred's about,
them or me?
That's my key to victory
when dark feelings
overwhelm me.

I saw you
standing
in the moonlight
you kissed your palms
opened them
to the stars
every wish
I ever knew
flew up
with them
body and soul
our hearts
broken into
a millard pieces
of stardust
fell as rain
flowers felt
how every day
when in Love is #vss365 #emoetry
