Yes, I am

Yes, I am

yes

i am full 
of myself
juicy
ripe
ready to burst 
with all this sweetness
the apple of my eye
Eve gave to Adam
deliciously dripping 
morning dew
filling his cup 
with the deepest of longings
he dances 
drunk with ecstasy 
remembering 
a love 
never forgotten

is not found
in the work
you do in the world
like Life
Art is a state
of transition
a moment
in time
when you realize
the intensity 
of your own potential
and courageously 
follow through
with the uncertainty
of its unfolding

I witnessed you
Entering the world
With your crown...
I cut your cord
And wove it through my heart
So you’d never forget
The love that binds us and
Gently reminds us
To find our way
Back home.

Pineapple Love

i’ll kiss you

even 


​when you’re prickly


these lips


pout 


for the smell 


of your sweet 


inside...

being open

be open

and give
give space
give time
give love
give attention
give it all up
give it all away

​until
there is nothing left



but you

being



open

The SIre

1/18/2017

The Sire

Endlessly 
Seeking

One 

Mystress

Who holds the key

To his undoing.

Her name 

Sounds 
Sweet 
Surrender;

Blissful

Bosom-buddies 
With fate.

She is found

In the holiest 

Of places,

The darkest 

Of spaces...
​

Buried 

In pieces

Amongst the ruins 

Of her temple,

Safely hidden

Everywhere

The sire

Refuses 


To go...

Hurting People

Hurting People

Hurting people
Hurt others.

Pain wants 

To Be

Expressed

Acknowledged
Shared.
Can you feel its call?

Pressing 

On your chest,
Choking
Up your throat,
Wounding 
Your mind?

Your pain 

Is a call.

Calling for you,

Through you,
Through us all. 
Pain will find a way 
To you

Like Santa 

At Christmas.  
Time 
To exchange 
Presence. 
Are you ready to Be
Unwrapped?
Now 
Is the time

To go wild

Be crazy
And tear 
Open 
This Gift.

I promise you

Your heart
Will
Love it.

To Be the Seed (An Ode To Spring)

to be the seed 
(an ode to spring)



to be the seed
one must
nourish 
refresh 
feel 
the warm sunshine
and rest 
you will crack
split
sprout 
wide open
allow 
the flow 
to push through
the deep 
dark soil
move 
with the light
revel 
and wonder
in the roots
of your Being.

Bless This Goddess
​
​Bless
This Goddess
Up
Never
Down
Stop telling Her
To change
Stop telling Her
She-is-not-enough,
Way-too-much,
She Knows
Her Name
She Knows
It’s Summer Time
Not time to lose
Time to play Light
Not time to weigh in
Oh those last few pounds… Isn’t Perfection so hard to find?
And yet
Here
She is ready to Reign
Truth
In all of Her Brilliance
She is a Radical One
This Goddess
A Matron of Honour
Glorious
In all of Her Beauty
She is the One
Whose voice you hear
Calling…
Quietly 
Within
Asking gently
To dry your tears
Of hurt and
​shame.
