TATTOOS
Each word I write each thought I think Is like a tattoo etched across my heart and soul... I want to show you my brandings I want to share my experiences I want you to see through my words The dreams and journeys I have had... Come into my world one story at a time Share the moments that are now Displayed for all to see... Laugh with me cry with me But most of all understand me Truly take the time to see who I really am... Reach deep into the colors of my mind Look at all the details Now visualize my words as just that My tattoos for you to see... More to come ![]() |

![]() ANIMAL GUIDES
I see my owl so wise and true, With knowledge for the things I do... His wisdom strong, his watchful eyes, His gentle ways for me he guides... Next I feel the presence of, The delicate wings on my snow white dove... Graceful is she in the open skies, An example of the goals I strive... White buffalo enters unto me, He's strong and bold with a heart that's free... My strength he brings in the calmest of ways, No worries arise as he walks through his days... For now I know and no more will I fear, In my darkest times my friends shall be near... With wisdom and peace and strength at my side, These animal spirits are my animal guides... |

RAINDROP JOURNEY
The day has come for my journey to begin I wonder where I will end up Scared? No not me... I have waited patiently for this day I can hear the sounds of thunder clapping As if a round of applause for all of us Soon the clouds will swell full And release us all at once Excited? Yes very much so... At last I'm on my way The pressure in the air The heavy feeling of dropping I can't wait to land somewhere nice... The tongue of an innocent child Reaching out to catch that first raindrop Or better yet... On the cheek of a crying woman So I can wash away her sadness A freshly blossomed rose... That is where I want to end my journey The petals full and almost velvet like The brightest of color it displays The smell surrounding me till my end Faster I begin to descend faster faster As if being reeled in by its beauty Oh no, anything anything is better Than the thor... |

![]() WEARY EYES Darkness is falling Upon my tired eyes... What then shall I see If there is no light remaining... I shall relax and reflect On the beauties of my active mind... Memories will be my vision I fear not what I can't see But rather on some of What I have seen... I will listen closely To the sounds around me For they will be the echos That I harness as my guide... Oh, do not sadden at my words I am but one of many that have Entered this realm... Be happy for me, for I will no longer Have to feel the pain and fatigue Within my eyes I will see with my heart, And with my soul Be not afraid for me, I will see you standing before me When we all return home... I wrote this many years back when I was still under the impression that I would be blind by 50. I have since been told differently... ![]() |

![]() MY BEAUTIFUL SUNSET
Walking along the shores Alone and deep in thought I realized then that I was far From where I wanted to be... The longer I walked Through the calm gentle waves That washed ashore I could feel myself Still no closer to my destination... I stopped and looked out to sea And discovered then that I would Never reach my sunset I will be chasing this sunset Till the end of time... I could feel the tears Begin to roll down my cheeks For I knew that in this conscious realization I had now surrendered The innocence of my eternal dream... You will always be my sunset I will always follow you And as each day passes And the glow of your light fades Into the dark of night Know that tomorrow is yet another day And I am walking the shores of life Forever chasing my beautiful sunset... |

![]() MYSTICAL MIND
Tragic transitional gestures Of the radical mind Are never to be one With the inner beauty Of the wretched warrior So then why does the star Fall to the ground in silence Not for the attention As much as for the unforsaken desire To feel that moment of sadness As the onlookers gasp with disbelief You think this is me In a display of overpowering judgment Relax for now Wee one of this enormous existence I am not here to manipulate I am here to seek the hidden truths Of silent passions from your tethered mind Stand before the mystical powers Of the universe And relate to me through thought The one thing that your heart desires I can hear your inner voice As it cries out for attention Come forth with me And walk along the mountain's edge As we discuss peace and harmony Throughout our mortal lives |

HOME AT LAST
A lonely ghost I once existed in this house of self You entered into my dwelling of pain and sorrow Walking through these hallowed halls You managed to revive the essence of love within me Tidy and neat lose ends are beginning to strengthen Memories of the past are stored away Allowing only for the new to be showcased Sadness so tenderly has been swept out To offer a pristine foundation of loving support Windows and mirrors wiped clean of hurt Shining light and reflection of the love we share The empty shelves dusted clean of loneliness To display new masterpieces of love for each other This shell of a heart is filling again With the beauty of you and I Comfort yourself deep inside me You are finally home This was written many many years ago... but it's still one of my faves. |

PASSION OF MY ART
Standing in the center of a room Alone in a world I choose to call my own Taking in a deep breath as I feel my surroundings Fading into the still of the corners of my mind... I begin moving from one direction to another From one position to the next My hands and feet in perfect harmony With my breath as I inhale and exhale... Imagining the essence of my enemies Crumbling and falling before me with each Strike and kick that I execute... My hear begins to race as the excitement level rises Now becoming aware of the intense expressions That I portray upon my face... Sounds begin to fill my ears as I hear Imaginary opponents discharge their breath Beneath the weight of my attack... I release my own yells on every finishing move From deep within my indomitable inner strength To wake the silence of an otherwise quiet room... Finally in the completion of this passionate performance Drenched with sweat and totally exhausted I now find myself once again in the center of the room Completely satisfied with what I have achieved... For me this is yet another victory another defeat Another advancement in the challenge of my dream As I continue to strive for perfection and mastery In a love that can never be perfected or mastered... I am content and pleased with my performance Fot what I have displayed is not what some call A form or kata but what I like to think of as being My art my love my poetry in motion... |

![]() GENEROUS GIFT
It is said that when two souls meet, The beat of their hearts fill the ears Of the angels above... The rhythm of their love echos Through the heavens... And the laughter shared is felt throughout Our entire universe... Give of yourself to all you encounter For today is the day we realize That we are all one... And in being one When you give to others You give to yourself Give generously, you deserve it... |

SIMPLY BECAUSE
Times within one's life A soul eases into the light And aids in the healing Of a saddened spirit... That soul is stilled, yet playful Compassionate, yet light-hearted Quiet, yet well versed And in the vast of it all... Simply there... Meeting a soul such as this Is an honor and a blessing For with their presences comes Wisdom, respect, and support... A soul of this caliber Glows through the light Guides through the darkness And never leaves one behind... Simply said... Thank you for listening Thank you for caring And thank you for your guidance... Not that our work is done Nor that our paths lead elsewhere But more that a "thank you" is in order... Simply because... |

UNTITLED
Shattered images lurking in the still of my mind Cold and deep are the thoughts I hear the words repeating The feeling remains the same and yet so completely different I struggle within to find evenness It’s painful to experience An internal struggle A battle of sorts Knowing what is wanted yet knowing it is out of reach For good and possibly forever Hardened heart so viciously fighting to stay cold Release the burdens Allow for openness Cater to the wits of the mind from a different perspective What do you possibly have to lose |

IT BELONGS TO HER NOW
I wandered far from who I was My heart a tattered shred I never thought to look again I felt hurt and pain from the games Done with whatever made me ache Tears drained no more No more sorrow to show No more worries to carry I would walk it alone Dreams of love began to fade The river was drying out I had completely given up When I stopped looking Love stood before me In the beauty of her image She has shared with me And has unmasked my love It belongs to her now My heart |

CRASH
Night is deep and hearts are racing The sky shoots glimmering light upon them Air cool yet bodies remain heated Breathe in deep and release the ambitions Desire as hands glide along the hollows of her curves Raised breasts with raspy moans of pleasure She sinks into the touch combined with passion and lust Swaying to the feel of uncontrollable pleasure Whispered words of deep adoration Remind her of the things to come Fierce love ignited as the night ensues a bonding of love Freed from the world, they are lost and alone together Hours pass for what seems to be mere minutes Restful slumber encompasses their tangled bodies I love you whispered softly as they drift away The night yields to the morning light They sleep easy |
