We're made of the same fire, you and I
wandering skies, on a wind's whimsy,
strapping on wings of hope, no questions why
Time ticks, tocks, flies, but is just illusory;
Between us, the spaces flow and the soul knows
eternity has a plan we cannot see;
Those stars, they conspire to keep us close
so you and I, we're free to be.

The sea wails
pushing away sea shells
burying the souvenirs with such ferocity
not one memory will ever escape
the sands
Time sends a reminder
hour after hour after hour
'You're not there yet' it chides;
it runs in circles
when it should be walking the straight and narrow like real people say
Laburnums weep, yellow tears dropping
one by one by one on the hard
concrete
covering up what lies true beneath
dressing up for the sun
so it doesn't feel
like it's a day after you...

Nowhere is a good place to start
The air waits to be seen, touched, inhaled
Lotus leaves hold pearls of water
on their velvet carpets
Peacock feathers like magic wands
swish to eradicate evil eyes
Evening skies string up a bunch of stars as fairy lights
Mother Universe holds the moment
...as we meet for the first time

Truth is harder than make believe
Trust is more than a handshake
Time is a thief and love is grief
T'is faith that life leaves in its wake

I woke up one day and found myself missing;
My eyes were hollow but my skin was shining;
Labels and laurels dressed up my identity;
If that was perfection, it wasn't me.
I set out for the forest and among the trees,
I carved some questions into the breeze;
Some birds nearby came down to take a look
as I sat and listened to the gurgling brook.
No answers came, no wisdom today
but the pellucid peace took my heart away;
I lay on the grass and let time flow free;
If I wake up again, I'll know I'm always me.

Contained, constrained within a strange skin,
one seeking soul began to hum a tune
from aeons ago, from memories within
lives unlived, unwoken in lost runes;
From here, chance concocted magic;
Chaos complied and compiled a verse;
Steeple bells and starburst made music
and the seeking soul began to make some words;
The song strummed on the beams of the sun;
Each earthly cell lit up and joined the chorus;
The breathing body and the seeking soul became one;
Heavens clapped for the magnum opus.

jostling heavens to be heard

Into the enchanted forest on a night it was dark,
We make memories just so one day we'll bring it all back
Leaves rustle into seasons unknown..red, blue, yellow,
Time, with a rusty rake, tries to bring it all back
Songs of us, sweet kisses, secret meetings, simply wanting to,
With what words can I ask you to bring it all back

Ghazal – A 7th century Arabian form composed of 5 to 15 couplets that are structurally, thematically and emotionally autonomous. Each line is approximately the same length. There is no required meter or syllable count. The final couplet includes the poet’s name or name meaning. The rhyme scheme is: AA, bA, cA. dA, etc… Where A is a 1 -3 word phrase that is taken from the 1st line of the 1st couplet and occurs at the end of the second line in all subsequent couplets. I’d like to suggest a theme of what living you can do in a day, night, week, month, year, or a lifetime – your choice.
