Slash pine
in your prime
branches like spokes
circles in growth
dropping cones
these brittle bones
hold seeds of hope.

Passionate Moments
Passionate moments
solitary retreats
bursts of social intercourse
meditation greets
the spiritual breadth
of the bleeding beat
in my heart.

Rugged And Full Wild Spirit
The rugged
and full wild spirit
of Mother Earth
in bountiful passion
we are fully immersed
and provided for by She
who cannot be tamed.

Cleansing Truths
Fake friendships
insincerely smooth
always caught out
by cleansing truths
their shallow lives
repetitively uncouth
and unfulfilled.

There And Back Again
Life’s swinging pendulum
takes me
there and back again
until I
find true love and then
my soul
is profoundly flourishing.

By Those Secrets
Fears controlled
by those secrets,
life on hold
with love never met,
has she the courage
to take the next step
and expose the abuse.
