Breaking New Ground
Standing resolute,
fresh origin taking root,
any day might bear fruit.

Show and Tell
Ripe smiles stained sweet greet you,
mouths upholding grins of cardboard cutouts,
unraveling wool pulled over irises,
frowns turned upside down embracing warmth,
folded origami lips turned paper airplane and sent flying,
spacing out language left weightless,
tipping over trapezes falling sideways,
little white lies too heavy to ditch gravity,
piercing thin veils reveals veneers hiding crooked teeth,
expressionless faces sucking air but without swallowing,
statements chock full of facts updating inaccuracies,
no stand in for speaking freely.

Time to Bloom
Our seedings just sown,
watered with purpose full-blown,
free from pot outgrown.

Putting Myself Together
My mind,
a coin purse freely sparing change,
my hands,
keys opening new doors into distant lands,
trash underfoot becomes ladders to ride rising elevators past rooftops,
knowing you would fly without touching the ground,
you decided to climb even higher,
my feet,
propelling me towards my destinies,
never once opting for only one possibility,
my mouth,
instrumental to delivering messages of greater symphonies yet played,
my hope,
forging brighter futures for us and people whose stories follow after.

Mi Amor
I hope her pulse quickens it's pace when I slowly peck her cheek,
even more so when I work my way down her neck,
closely I press her head against my chest,
as we harmonize,
she reminds me to come down from my high horse,
compassionately holding her hand humbles me,
watching joy burst forth from her eyes,
speaking of which they are akin to star clusters,
making the wings on my heart flutter,
with her I speak honest,
ice skating in conversation cools down even the warmest summers,
her embrace heating up the coldest winters,
investing in our relationship every season.

Getting Along Better
Restoring the peace but with something else on my sling,
a bell sound off when I let it ring,
no muzzles when my guitar sings,
without bullet holes I punch through walls,
refusing to break the law I go another direction,
entrenching a fresh flag as I break new ground,
riding waves my surfboard is walking over water stirring up foam too,
leaping over jagged rocks I land harm free,
learning to discern oasis from mirage,
live from my vacation home I invite you to my private island,
allow me to show you how to get yours,
I present you a vested interest so we can feel bulletproof tomorrow.

Greenhouse Cradles
From a dark womb,
light blooms,
born from seeds unlike any other,
revealing trails to places undiscovered,
left alone,
life needs no permission to pull back the curtains,
never meant to be fenced in for long,
we bust open the coral we were caged in,
freed from the dungeon we're sprung,
grumbling chains made to smile and when we broke them they showered,
not quite a rain dance but it sure felt nice to drop our weights, insightfully,
we refuse to follow moths into places that shine brightly,
past experiences leaving our hindsight 20-20,
making ourselves fine on rewind,
remembering that living in the present is flying,
hopeful of the countless futures that could germinate.

In her innocence pure elegance, the beauty from within glistens on her skin.
Her heart endures an energetic pull an awareness an aura a musical instrument.
Will, she ever know how beautiful she is with a heart that matches her spirit.
In the depths of an abyss, she doesn't see her beauty or how truly lovely she is.
Behind the fear, she carries within is a dark mystic grace that is hidden behind a veil of tears.
Girl hidden in the dark abyss let go of the fear release the anxiety and be still.
Scared of rejection that she won't fit in when she is the one that others desire her loving grace.
Makeup to cover her face a cover girl when her beauty is natural it radiates from her skin.
Girl in her dark mystic grace open your eyes look in the mirror see the beauty within.
Feel the beat of your heart let your spirit release the glorious charm upon your face.
Smile at your reflection and say I am beautiful I am comfortable in my own skin.
Then know you're more than a pretty face and let your heart lead the way.
Then when the day comes you can look at your own face and say I made it I'm ok.
Along the way help someone who may be feeling less than scared to look at her own face.
Shine your light lady dark mystic grace revealing the beauty of her face.
Then rest assured knowing her reflection will radiate the elegance of a beautiful girl she has always been.
