Mona Lisa Moon

During a late afternoon walk
while staring up through twilight hue

The Mona Lisa Moon almost
smiled at me as she pulled
the covers up on her bed of blue

Moon struck
I caught the invitation she sent
down from her eyes afar

To join her in the morning for
coffee and some moon talk
at her table of twinkling stars

Remembering Me
Remembering You

When I saw you
Standing there
Shimmering
In the long lost beauty
Called the echo of my gaze
Reflecting you back
To me reflecting you
I wondered
If the stars got lost
On their way
Finding the jewel of
Your eyes to land upon

When I saw you
Standing there
Firm and supple
As a willow
Hiding fire
In the roots of its water
Diamonds flowered
From your pores
And sprouted
The gifts from your imagination

When I saw you standing there
I knew
That you remembered me
Remembering you
Remembering a time
Before called now
When the flowers began
And we danced life
From a thing
Called dust

I'm too fragile for love

I never thought I would say this,
from the second I saw him there was an instant attraction, mutual attraction

We were very different, and our relationship would have been long distance for our personalities were unlike each other, yet somehow we worked

His friends turned on me, and eventually it was to the point I was to walk away
I didn't say 'good bye'
I didn't say 'stay'
it was as if I just stepped out of the light, and he didn't come after me,
as I had chased after him months before

My actions said something,
his lack of reactions to keep me said more
I pull away to see how much he would rescue what I thought he wanted, me

Tonight I saw him out,
he found a replacement for me.
I would never of said good bye,
I had a candle of hope
Protected from the winds and rains, he would return and follow the beacon back to me
he didn't

Tonight the winds and rain won, and my candle blew out.

I called for the Goddess of Happiness tonight, no reply
I called for revenge, I called for love

I'm too fragile for love I feel,
send me love
not a man

I'm listening to 'the power of good bye'
'freedom comes when you learn to let go
creation comes when you learn to say no
there's nothing left to try
there's no place left to hide. . . .

Your heart is not open, so I must go, the sky has been broken so I must go . . . .

I yearn to say good bye'
I send you peace and love
sometimes I see you and I
on some cliff side standing tall
against the spray of the wild oceans
and mighty winds
alone and cold, a fierce army, a strong army, and defenders of all cherish able emotions, and loves.

I miss you, and tonight when walking around my neighborhood
I wished I had your door to knock on.
be well my friend

I love your spirit, and you
Jared

Heart

I believed you when you said you loved me
I believed you when you said we would be together soon
I believed you when you said you had been looking for me all your life
I even believed you when you said no one else has ever made you feel like I make you feel

My heart aches for you
My love for you is more then any words could ever express
When we are together
Time stops
You felt it too.....

Now, I walk alone,
Wondering what to believe
When is soon?
Did you really mean what you
felt in your Heart?
Was it all lies you told me?

Can my heart ever heal?
Will I ever trust another?
They say time heals all wounds
They say I will love again

You are a beautiful gift to me
You taught me to open my heart
and trust
I am loving again
This time, I love myself
I honor myself
I Embrace Love more now
Thank you for showing me how to
Love myself again...............

I AM,
I AM You
I AM Me
I AM Everything
I AM No One and Everyone
I AM All I need to be in this moment and in every moment
And, for that,
I AM Truly Grateful

I AM,
I AM Love
I AM Forgiveness
I AM Compassion
I AM all of these
I AM
All I need to be in this moment
and in every moment
And, for that,
I AM Truly Grateful

It's time to stop blaming others
for all of my mistakes
and stop with all these childrens games
It's time to accept my fate

It's time to finally realize
just what can be achieved
and make become reality
once upon a time was perceived

No time for luck, making wishes,
horseshoes, or four leaf clovers
for I must go inside and leave my friends
cause playtime is finally over

It's time to put that world behind
It's time for him to die
and be reborn and sprout my wings
It's time for me to fly!

Mike, of Las Vegas

There is no death only birth, and birth and birth
Consider the trees
that allow the birds to perch and fly away
without calling them back
If your heart can be like a tree
you will be close to the way
when the Multitude laughs at you
you are blessed
I depart as air
I shake my white locks
at the runaway sun
I bequeath myself to the dirt
to grow from the grass
I love
If you want me again
look for me under your boot soles
you will hardly know who I am
or what I mean
but I shall be good
health to you never the less
Missing me one place
search another
I stop somewhere waiting for you....

It is in
discovering
and accepting yourself
as you are

with all of your
insanity,
vulnerability,
fears and desires

where your heart can open
and you find freedom.

When you are in complete
honesty with yourself
in how you are in this moment
without judgment,
without manipulation,
without the need
to defend
or justify yourself,

you find that
you exist beyond it
as peace itself,
as love itself

and there is no need
to strive to be
the way you think
you should be
any longer.

 

Are we real

I feel your hand as it gently touches
the small of my back,
I believe
there is no real love
It’s all fairy tales
Under a starlit night
You asked to kiss me
That first kiss………………

Your blue eyes reach into the
Depths of my soul
I can’t breath

I feel you
You fill my thoughts
body and soul
How can this be

Your smile
Your touch
Your kiss……..

You touch the core of my soul
I am yours

Love

Scared, Afraid
so much hurt
I look deep into my soul
The Wounds
The heartache
the losses
I continue deeper
into the darkness beyond
pain and sorrow
I find laughter, Happiness
excitement, pure love
passion, fireworks
my soul lighting up the universe
I honor love
I honor thyself
What a beautiful Gift.........
Love

May the Goddess of Love be with you
Goddess Claire

No one falls in love by choice,
it is by CHANCE.
No one stays in love by chance,
it is by WORK.
And no one falls out of love by chance,
it is by CHOICE

WINTER SOLSTICE GIFTS

Great white sound,
color of crystalline snow,
echoes in the souls ear,
calling those who might,
into this darkest night.

Silent forest.
Frozen earth.
Deep mystery.

Enter the cave of Winter’s embrace.
If you will allow it, she can take your hurried ,
too busy mind and body and lay down
in her secret chamber.

Her meteorite stove and the heat of stars will warm your spirit bones
as you at last surrender
into the ringing silence.

Celebrate such fertile darkness!

Worn creases will melt away.
Divine revelations will offer true and lasting gifts.
All that you have learned,
from past seasons turned,
shine as essence on a full moon platter,
each wisdom pearl glistening and wrapped in red, green, and gold.

Open eternal presents in your moment of repose
Prepare for the sun to rise in you at dawn.

G . Star, December 2002

Releasing

With the light breeze blowing across my face, I know it does not judge me.

I feel and observe the sun's warm rays coating the Emerald green leaves of nature, and the dew drops sprawl glistening ever so gentley with a dash of innocense.

Not only is my body warmed, my soul is warmed to its core. My mind begins to clear intensely! Every breathe I take, I let another part of the negativity lingering inside of me go.

Letting it fly free, I watch it soar high above, until I see it disappear, not to bother me again

When I brought you into being I gave you Inspiration...
Inspiration to embrace the Sacred Flow of Life,
Inspiration to love,
Inspiration to care,
Inspiration to forgive,
Inspiration to take care of each other.
Inspiration has since taken on new and different dimensions of understanding in the human experience since you were birthed into the cosmos.
Some are beneficial, others are not.
Endeavor to become aware of when you cross the line from Inspiration into excitement, and you shall expand your potential for experiencing the original Inspirations I breathed into your soul in the beginning.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

It doesn’t really matter what you’ve ever done,
or not done.
It doesn’t make any difference
how many times you’ve deceived yourself or others.

It doesn’t make any difference how many
cheap verbal, intellectual, and mental imitations
you’ve sold out for.
It doesn’t make any difference how many times
you’ve used it, lied about it, betrayed it,
pretended it, or pretended it didn’t exist.
It doesn’t make any difference how many times you’ve lost it.

The only thing that makes any difference
is whether you have the honesty and the humility,
whether you’re willing to be vulnerable enough,
this very moment, to find out what love is.

And when you discover the vast and endless bliss of it,
whether you are willing to be destroyed by it,
whether you are willing to disappear into it now,
and to disappear into it forever.
Be honest with yourself:
Is there really something else you’d rather do?

As much as we’d like to think so,
we can’t really “have love”.
Simply because it is much bigger than whatever we imagine
ourselves and our lives to be,
All we can do is immerse ourselves in it,
drown in it,
abandon ourselves for it.
For in the end we don’t really exist.
There is only love.
Why not let this be the end?

Let it transform everything.
If your surrender is pure,
and complete,
it will change everything immediately.
No longer will the aches of the body
nor the fears and sorrows of the mind trouble you.
For the body and the mind will be in service to the heart,
which will liberate all of your demons.

Realizing I'm whole

I left you because I thought you broke me….
I realize… I broke myself.

I was angry because I thought you held me back…
I realize I held myself back…

I hated you because you weren’t what I wanted you to be…
I realize I hated myself…

I wanted you because I thought you would make me whole…
I realize I am whole by myself…
