what it is

what it is

an elusive voyeur in the darkness
heaven, heavy with tears
is a rolling stone sculptor
the impossible longing of wistful souls
it is neither here nor there
it is the butterfly you missed in passing
it is hungry bellies and disturbed minds
the inability to accept reality; to let go
the fruit of one’s labor unrealized
it is incessant wishfulness
the inevitable consequence of chaos
it is the primal rhapsody of humanity

it’s elemental

(a five-part Magnetic Poetry poem using the Nature kit) 

it’s elemental

if i was the wind
i would breathe through you
murmuring sweet poetry and
gently toss your hair
only to hear you sigh

if i was the rain
I would sweeten your
garden with lovely wetness
only to see you grow wild
and verdant, glistening in the sun

if i was the earth
brown and fertile beneath you
i would make a soft bed of
thick moss in the cool dark
so you can rest your soul
when this world is too much

if i was the sun
i would blanket you
in warmth, in pure love,
from dawn to dusk and
even through the night,
the moon shining bright

in wind and rain, earth
and fiery sun, always
know that i am here
gently loving you with
all that i am

warm wet…fever

warm wet…fever

it’s that time
of year when
spring swoops in

warm

breezes that smell
of musk and life
simmering just
below the loam

wet

air that makes me wish
i’d worn less today
my skin sweating from
the heat, my core
on fire with fever

Another Cadae. I love this poetry form! The weather wtoday is quite balmy. A calm before a storm heading our way. As I type hornets that have roused from their boroughs are swirling around me with their incessant buzzing. I’m sure they are just as happy as me that spring is ever near, but they add a bit of drama to my attempt to soak in the sun and rest for a spell. 🙄


ohhhh spring

ohhhh spring

they are here
the bluebirds,
phoebes, wrens

ohhhh

and the robins,
tree swallows too
on warm zephyrs
come to announce

spring

to rouse us at dawn
to taste the first drops
of sweet, sweet nectar
crooning songs that all
lovers know by heart

Happy First Day of Spring!🌷🌷🌷

breath less

breath less

it’s the wind’s
bellowing
blustering

breath

of heaven sent
challenging me
to bend, not break
to dance with grace

less

about standing ground
more about letting
go…the fear, the pain
until all that’s left
is my soul, washed clean

Really enjoying the Cadae poetry form. Peace to you on this lovely day! 💞
