Morn's light perched at my window
Autumn sprinkles fire across each leaf
Shadows fill an empty hall

As I wake the clock seems to fall asleep

Sorrow and hope walk together on crowded streets
Tree limbs dance to the wild song of the four wind
The stench of past regrets come to avenge

Today is new, yet it feels the same
Will tomorrow take me to a place that before I have never been?

I will tear down every piece of armour
break every stone I stacked around my heart

I rise towards the magenta mountain tops
light as a feathered mist I lift

A tree whom dances wild
Licked by dawns light
I will no longer bare the shame

I, a window with her curtains drawn

Mosaic glass trapped by a dirty pane

 

Time passes in a bottle, tear's gather and slowly fall,
carving deep crevasse's in every human soul.

We build lives as hungry wolf's. Lust for possessions are the rule.
Tossing out worthy brick while the wall's around our heart grow callous and thick

We wipe away the stains while new ones appear.
Scratching and tearing at the man we created in the mirror.

I was told a story once, of silver lining the sky. Do you know where the diamonds lay? Does one search high, or is it a matter of them falling into place?

Could I have missed an important detail? what is it I still lack ?
I feel as an uninvited guest to the table, where rich feast on sweet fortune and good will. And I dine on fallen crumbs. Hope, is my meal.

I stood on a mountain top where the sky fell,
clouds danced, and flowers grew under a blowing purple haze

My fortune spent, love, proved to be costly,
leaving my heart bankrupt and broke.

Man, born to wander, in constant search of gold.
Seeking to dig earthy treasure while true gifts are burred deep in Gods soul.

Cobwebs of sorrow that clasped my lungs
peal away in every day I wake to the new dreams with hope

Bound me to every promise I make

Spring joy
Produce fruit of courage
Cultivate gardens
Starve seeds of fear
Bud everlasting friendship
and thy soul shall never starve again

I am the ocean tide. I am the setting sun.
I am the moon that shines, lighting your dark night.
I am the fragrance sweet on your tongue.
I am the rain filling up your glass jar of time

I am amazed

I have known love

Many blessed gifts
I have recieved

God supplies my every need

In this darkend world I still see light
pure beauty shines from eyes

Human life a miricle

To awake a new day

Breath

Blue sky

Fragrant rain

Renewal

Sun baths
my thirsty soul

I walk my path still believing
love will conquer all

My heart alive
my faith shall grow

My nights will not always reamin cold

~ Path & The Traveler~
We were going down life's road
when your path crossed mine unsupposed
Crashed a better would used I suppose
It felt like being struck in the face
but it was my heart that took the blow
Living in kiltered directions
Two separate oceans
existing on opposite shores
I believe in destiny...
we were supposed to meet
Our paths merging to make each other's complete
If you leave me now
the road trip toward love will be unfinished
We will remain incomplete
A journey
of hundreds uphill miles
A bridge we must find
Cross over
Connect our lives
It may shake
It will sway
Scary
but worth the ride
every step bringing your heart closer to mine
No map or direction needed
the path chose us
Love,
the guidance that merged us
You in my arms awaits at the end of this road
Which path will you choose to go?

~ I am Here ~

I caught my refection there

I stopped and took a long hard stare

I cried for the girl in the mirror

Shed the unshed tears

I cried for the untold sadness in her eyes
she always tries to hide with a pearly white smile

Her spirit a rage

She desires better days

I caught a glimpse of her strength

She will make her way
try and stop her

I saw her smile say

I looked upon my reflection
and I like that woman's face

Though she has seen rough times
the sparkle in her eyes remains

~ I Fly~

I walk

I run

I fall,  to stand again


Now,  I fly

~Premonition~

My name I hear you call,
 my heart strings feel your pull

As your soul longs for me ..
 mine longs to be with you constantly

I feel your presents so near to me

You follow me into my sleep,
 becoming my dreams

You are sun rays,
 your warmth gently caressing my face

In the breeze I feel your gentle touch,
 covering my skin with goose bumps

Wind,
 runs your fingers through my hair

I listen as you whisper, I want you so... tickling in my ear

I close my eyes to touch your lips
 with my heart your face I kiss

I lay in the grass and watch your face in the clouds that pass

Solid ground beneath
 wishing it was your arms holding me

Embraced by imaginary
 longing for loves security

My mind and thoughts continue to play tricks
or a premonition of what's going to be?

Will I soon have you here next to me?

My feelings for you have become more clear

My love is nothing less then sincere

The time we spend apart only draws you near

Deeper,
logged within my heart

I look ahead to the time where reality and premonition meet

When face to face you and I will be

K.L

~A Poetess In Love~

If my love could be a color
deep crimson red is what I would choose

If my love could run
I would be as a ragging river
flowing to meet you, deep sea

If my love could be an element
passion burning like fire consuming thee

If my love could be time
eternity will be it's end

If my love could be hands
I would use them to give you all I am

If my love could be feet
I would walk along side you on life's journey

If my love could be eyes
I would wake up just to see your face

If my love could be place
next to you is where I'd stay


If my love could be a word
it would flow like poetry

If my love could be a song
your name, the only melody my heart would sing

If my love could be the sky
You are the Earth I wrap myself around,
until no end or beginning can be found

If my love you were to drink,
intoxicated by loves first taste

Thirsty for each other,
our mouths will become

If my love you want to understand
never will you comprehend it

It's deeper then the ocean depth,
it would be like trying to count sand

You heart is my home
your my safe hidding place

K.L

~Coconut Scented Dream~

I lay on silky sheets of sand
warmed by a yellow blanket of sun

I watch the ocean colored sky
play with pillows of fluffy white

My senses filled with bliss & delight

The beach
salty wind in my hair

A piece of Heaven on a hot summer day

My lips spread in a smile
as I rub my body with sun tan oil

Put my cool dark shades on
to help hide my looks toward him

I cant stop starring at his magnificence

He is a sun kissed paradise
with coconut scented skin

Glances meet

Eyes talk

Heart stops

He smiles at Me

I smile at Him

He smile's back again

He comes close

I lean in

Intoxicated by the smell of him

Soft moment
shy lips crave

His bronzed hand
holding my porcelain face

Coconut smile
tasted so sweet

In the sun
on the beach

Beep Beep

Alarm clock screams

Damn!

The End..........
Of my coconut scented dream......................

K.L

~Into The Depths~

I walked along the road of sand

Sat at the oceans end

I caught the Sky kissing the Sea

Endless crystal horizon above

Telling of a love that's greater then Me

Salty fragments cover my feet

Green turns to blue

Now orange & purple too

I watch the sun hid
to catch it again

Rhythm of the waves

Gravity

Leave the shore

Dive into the deep

Touch the unknown

Collect my ambitions

Precious pearls
on a bottomless ocean

K.L

~Be Kind~

Kind words spoken to a worn soul gives the same effect as cool gentle breeze on a hot summer day blowing refreshment to one's face ~

Trading My Sorrow~

Thy soul

drowning

Constant
crying

Dark pools

Suffocating

Deep sorrow

Sunless day's

Moonless nights

Weeks

Months

Zombiefied

On my face

Bruised knees

Heart bleeding

..........................................

A voice

Birds sing

I look up

You've come

Warm smile

Kind eyes

Meting ice

Gentle touch
lift me up

Encouraging

Speaking life

Clouds lift

Healing begins

Your love
cradles me

Empowering

Thank you,
beautiful friend

For bringing the sunshine once again

My hurt
you took it far away

You light my world

Replaced my smile

K.L

~Destiny's Pen~

Is there such a thing as hiding from love?

If its yours to keep it will find you eventually...

Already written

Authored by destiny

My life a living book not meant for shelves

My story a gripping read
A love story
so unique and true indeed

I will discover in time
how my lover will capture and keep this heart of mine

I the paper to Destiny's pen
her inkwell fills up my page
until many chapters are made

Destiny being fulfilled
a little every day

~Jessica Is Her Name~

Jessica is her name

Since you left
my life is re arranged

I cry

The
pain

I hurt from deep within

If I could look at you
one more time again

Jessica, my sister & beloved friend
life with out you just isn't the same

I miss your light
your smile so bright

I did not fully understand how precious you were until now

Thinking there will always be a tomorrow
another chance to show

Jessica, I am sorry & I love You

Saying it now hurts
cause gone is my chance to tell you so

We shared childhood days many memories compiled and made

Treasures & blessings as my sister she gave

We watched each other grow up
She help nurture me into the women I am today

Now I visit her at your grave

The life
we shared & lived together
now my heart has an empty space

I know this truth
the bond we shared not even time can erase

I'ts been hard moving forward & letting you go

So, I ask you to lend me your strength
I remember how you carried yours silently

The beauty of your soul
that you wore on your face

The feel of your arms
they never tired of giving grace

A heart of gold

You walked in the way of tenderness and now you live on,
in those whom to it, you freely gave

I feel you now in the suns rays
as you shine from above down upon my face

I know you want me to move forward
to look ahead to that day

When I reach the other side & see your smiling face
My beautiful sister
so dear to me

Jessica is her name

My life
without her just isn't the same...

K.L

~Shifting~

I feel a restlessness settling in
my heart and mind stirring within

Sleep I can not,
rest I have not

I feel like I cant breath
Like I need to break free

My nights have become lonely & cold

In need of hands to hold,
arms to infold my heart, body & soul

Love,
please shine your light on me once again

It always hurts when its your season of growth
go down new paths on life's road

Stronger in the end I will be

Learn new things about myself that before I couldn't see

At life's crossroads

A new path I must go

K.L

~Nectar & Thorns~

I am a garden
beauty is my form

Petals are my grace

Delicateness perched atop strong stems
wrapped in a soft sweet fragrant case

I will blossom for you
if you tend me with care

Give your life
a colorful veil

Protect me
from the chocking weeds

Be my white picket fence
my constant surrounding

Water me from the deep well of your love

Harvest the fruit
reap the gifts

My nectar is sweet as is my love

Breath deep
my fragrance filling your lungs

I kiss you
with rose buds

Soft petal curves
open up

Exposing
every intricate detail

The flower
surrendering herself

Into my gardener's hands

His senses
become filled

I am his
he is mine

Love in bloom
under perfumed skies

..................................

But a warning I tell..

If you are careless with me
my thorns will puncture thee

And if you cut me down
I will grow back more vigorously

K.L

~Call Me A Dreamer~

Your face a dream
I can not awake

Deep eyes
handsome face

A smile
my memory cant erase

My nights
are filled with thoughts of you

My days, well you fill them too..

My soul is dry & thirsty

Hungry and in need of you

My heart I offer in asking,
sweetly fill me with you

Your one of Gods most beautiful creations to me,
how could I not want to taste and drink you in deep.

To call you lover & friend,
be with you until eternity ends.

I know you feel the same for me
while sleep I can feel your heart

Beating within me

I don't know what I would do if I was standing before you

I would probably think I was dreaming, to good to be true

Make a wish and hopes it finds you

Fulfill my desires of being with you

K.L

~The Green Dress~

I went shopping the other day with the money I had saved

My eyes lite up when I saw it....

That beautiful dress

It was my favorite color green

The clerk said "it brings out your eyes"
as she opened the dressing room for me

All giddy at my find

The mirror spoke up and said that dress on you looks simply divine

Every angle revealead a perfect fit

This dress was made for me
every one in the shop could see

I found these earring's they match your new dress perfectly
she said while tempting & dangling them before me

I brought the dress to the register

I looked at the tag as I handed it to her

Miss, I've changed my mind
this dress is really not my style

I walked out the door

The green dress
a luxury I could not afford

K.L

~Red Curtains~

Behind red curtains I hide

Heart is on fire
burning in my chest

Scarred of what's beyond

People can be so cruel

Up it goes
I am fully exposed

I hold my breath
I let go

Sea of faces
plastic smiles

Unfamiliarity

Cold eyes
stare at me

Waiting for my performance
so they may judge

Somehow
the courage arrives

Not holding back
I give my all

And then my prize
no applause

Your not good enough
they say

Who are you
you don't even know my first name

Your arrows do not hurt nor
your words cut

I liked it better
when I didn't have this part

I'm no good at carrying on an act

Behind the red curtain
I go back

Behind the red curtain
no one hides nor acts

K.L

~Sands Of Time~

I went to the ocean

While there every day on the beach
I would play

Sun, sea, wind & waves

Enticing

Magical

I met a boy

Electric eyes

Entranced

I wanted to drown
in him

First kiss

Warm softness

He touched me inside

A promise made

He would never forget me
and write everyday

We said goodbye
with only a kiss

A kiss always remembered

Often I re-visit
in my mind

Sands of time

The beach

That boy

Young love

Under a sea swept moon

K.L

~Your Picture~

I'm mesmerized by you

I can not stop my starring

You are the most beautiful thing
my eye's have ever seen

This picture Ive discovered
feels like I know you

Have we meet before
perhaps in a dream

With each glance
I fall deeper into you

My eyes fixed
I cannot move

I want to crawl inside your warmth

Hide for awhile
get lost in your smile

Your eyes cut
they pierce

Why cant I look away

Do I hold this picture
or does it hold me

K.L

~ Time & Love Have No End~

Thinking of you has become a trend,
I am wondering when you will come home again

Why did you have to go away ?

If we could go back to that first hey
for me that would be a happy day

Time keeps slipping away and with it your face so fine,
please let me look at you even if it's one last time

I don't want to miss what could be cause of much bliss
lets not let it end like this

Can we go back and change our history?
I don't think so, but our future we still hold

Its up to us what we shape and mold and what we allow to turn into dust
I don't want dust to become us

Is starting over possible?
Yes, I think so

The beautiful words you spoke to me
remain in my heart where your face I too keep

I will wait here patiently
until the day you return home to me

On my porch I sit and watch
throwing away the clock

For I do not want to keep up with the time we're apart
nor of the time we have lost

K.L

~Lifes Seasons~

Summer Heat~

I love being in the hot summer sun
their days are long and full of fun

Strong rays melting winter blues

Heat wave in my soul

Skin a soft glow
sun kissed and golden infused

Take heed

Find Sheltering

Burned & thirsty
the sun will make thee

Autumn begins~

Cool weather has begun
Crisp the air becomes
Soon long days of sun shine will be done

Outside bright colors have come to play
dancing on the leaves in festive display

As we pile on more clothes to cover from the chill in the air
Autumn is telling the trees it's time to go bare

Scent of apple cider
wood burning stove's
capturing the heart & alluring the soul

Cold arrives with Winter~

Then comes the days that are so cold
color has gone and time has froze

Landscape now winter grey
little light and bitter cold nights

From my window view
nature appears dead

Sun, where have you gone

Why have you fled?

God, my heart's cold
frozen and covered by snow

I need Your warmth Lord, to blanket my soul

The sun begins to peek
darkness and grey fade

Life is not dead

It needed time to sleep away

Spring arrives~

Life is in bloom
filling the air with sweet perfume

Budding flowers clothe the tree's

Daffodils carpet the ground beneath

Back are the days of sunshine

Warming from the sun

Earths time for unfreezing has began

This is my favorite time of the year

Witnessing such beauty as life reappears

Listen to the music

Birds singing fills the air
happy too Spring is finally here

Joyful hearts beat
thankful to receive such gifts

Warm showers, gardens & flower bouquets

Life's Seasons~

Life's seasons constantly changing

If it did not
spiritual growth would rot

Gifts of wisdom

Lessons learned

Every experience
leaves us transformed

People like life never stay the same
with time we too change

God's love is the only constant

He alone remains the same

Today is a gift

Tomorrow always comes to fast
Live today as if it will be your last

Love as if you've never been hurt

Give all you have even to people who never love back

K.L

~Left With A Scar~

I got a call from my brother today....how are you?
I am fine and you I say?

The weather is good but work is not. 
My kids are growing but bills don't stop.

Time sure does fly, 
 its been a couple years now since I've last seen your smile..

This goes on for a moment or two.
How is dad, does he talk to you?

This question stirring painful memories,trying to hide it,
I say no, which is the truth must it be told. I can sense he's still hurting too

Our conversation turns to a familiar yet far way place,
back to our childhood that dark and often scary place.

We laugh a little at first remembering some of the funner times.

Some memories hard to believe are true
like salt on old wounds and deep was the cut that we both new.

See, we grew up in a broken family like a lot of other folk do.
When I say broken it was often black and blue.

Hurt by his hands often,
torn asunder, and abused, things that a child should never have to go through.

Scared of him I used to be
not wanting him to hurt my brothers and me.

Time is a healer the ole saying is...and I believe it's true for I do not hurt as I once did, and have even forgiven you.

Thinking about it now what hurts the most is watching dad grow old with no remorse,
his heart still hard, his love still cold.

That for me is the deepest wound he has bestowed.

I miss you brother I tell him as we say goodbye.
I love you so much and hang up the phone to cry, not out of pain but relief

I'm no longer that scared angry child left alone to grieve.

A strong women now and so very blessed,
thanks be to God who has healed and given my soul rest.

I have peace now torn I am no more but I always carry my scar
K.L
