I AM IN LOVE & I AM ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!

I stand at the peak of this moment

I declare my own joy

I am the only one responsible for HOW I FEEL

WHAT I THINK

WHO I AM

AND How I EXPRESS MYSELF

I have fallen many times

I have floundered

And stumbled

I have made a fool of myself

SO MANY TIMES

For love

And for many others

So today

I SIMPLY LAUGH

The kind of laugh that prevents me from standing straight

The kind that is so contagious

The kind that make me look insane

Then everyone around me begins laughing too

And they don’t even know why

But what else can they do

For in my very presence

They feel the wild flair

And spinning of my soul

As I let down my hair

Today I am STANDING

I AM DANCING

I AM JUMPING FOR JOY

I give myself permission to feel EVERYTHING

And then all that’s left is what feels good

And what empowers me

And I am STRONG

I am grounded and centered in the continuum of my unfolding

As I stretch further into the sky

I rise

I love

I leap

I fly

I fall into my SELF

And EXPLORE EVERY PART

WOW

I am in absolute AWE

I am crazy-wild

Crazy-good-girl

Woman

Goddess

Holiest Wholeness

I am wellness

I am truth

I am pleasure

I am love’s beautiful fool

I forgive and forget

Myself and all else

I decide now that I will never let

Anything have my power again

In LOVE

HERE I AM

ALL ALONG

I am worth the wait

YES

I am ENOUGH

Forever and Always

I am the inner warrior

The inner masculine divine

I am the inner Goddess

The inner feminine divine

I am pure source

I am fully aligned

There is no more need

I am the fullness of my sweet self

I partake in my soul bounty

Every bit of heaven

That rose from my own hell

And here I am for the asking

All that was required was that I receive

And all the bleeding ceased

The suffering and old self…

Deceased

I awaken to the grace

And power and the ease

Of simplicity of giving and receiving

As reminded by the trees

Ahhh…. What divine relief

I am Divinely free

Again

I am in peace.

Where I am completely alone with ME.

Prayers of the Heart Answered

Today I have learned....

Just because it is offered

does not require an acceptance

Just because it is extended your way

doesn't require you to take it on

Just because it shows up in your life

doesn't mean you must take it home

Some strays are meant to stray....

Just because it is requested

doesn't mean you must oblige

Just because it comes in infinite forms

doesn't mean you will want them all

Just because it seems so complex

doesn't mean simplicity is not hidden in the intricately wrapped gift-box of aforementioned!

Just because someone claims they love you

doesn't mean you must receive them in the way they offer....

Or that it is love at all

Your way of SAYING THANK YOU

Your way of holding the space of gratitude and love

to keep abundance flowing

is YOUR OWN WAY

and it may or may not match the vision of the other who stands before you with arms extended

Nor does it mean their way will match yours....

Just GIVE LOVE

BE LOVE

and from this space there is only one truth to declare

I am my own divine fulfillment

I am divinvely free!

Today I learned....

I am fully supported

I am absolutely safe

I am protected in the abundant bubble-sphere of love

that I am

I have infinite opportunities

and endless possibilities

The variety of fruits in the harvest of my life

go on and on and on....

what a surplus of growth

in these fields

of mine, yours, ours

I pick and choose exactly what suits me

There is plenty

I am in fullness

I am energized

Inspired

Empowered

I am awake

Sometimes I am asleep

And then I am watching myself dreaming...

or watching myself awake as I sleep

or Dream

One thing I really learned today

The desires of my heart

are always being answered

and when I discern what is what

more prayers fulfilled

more pieces of the mosaic glued down....

Ahhh, a broken bit of china here

a lovely piece of crystal there

Ooo what a lovely painted porcelain bit

Oh and this sliver of ceramic....

Delicious bits of heaven am I....

Tea party with my teddy's

I am carefree

in purest child-likeness

Love Absolute is mine

For it is all that I am

I have learned once again

Today....

From my beautiful sister Valerie....

I am all that I seek!

This poem is dedicated to you My sister!

THANK YOU

I love you.

DIVINE MOTHER

Have you seen your mother lately?

Have you seen her?

How could you not?

She’s reaching for you all the time

She’s calling your name

And mine

She supports your every step

And mine

With her arms stretched out

Heart open

Wide

Her voice beckons you

And me

To venture out

Though we don’t often hear or see

We're mostly running away to hide….

But Why?

Have you felt her warmth surround you?

Have you felt her heart beat

Beneath your apprehensive feet?

Have you listened

To her bed time stories?

And her morning glories

Songs and melodies

Reminding you of all your dreams?

Have you seen OUR Mother lately?

She’s outstretched all around

Her abundance does abound

Her poetry full of orchestral sound

Go be with her today my love

Rest upon her breast

Listen Closely

Look Attentively

She waits….

To be found.



I Am My Wish Come True

I wished for me

And that’s just what I got!

I either live from this remembrance

In truth

OR NOT –

As though I completely forgot.

It’s up to me

My free will….

MY VERY OWN

Free will -

A curse,

Or a Blessing?

I get to decide!

So TODAY

I choose Love over Fear

Joy over Sorrow

Gratitude over Envy

Celebration over Mourning

Laughter over anger

Confidence over Jealousy

Trust over Suspicion

And Faith over Doubt

I Choose

Partnership over Competition

And Completion over Commotion

Wholeness instead of Brokenness

AND…

I choose to Spread my wings and learn how to fly

Instead of living with broken wings

Then I SOAR!

I choose loving supportive friends

Beginning with Myself

I surround myself with strength & power

Infuse myself with vision and purpose

Because that is what moves mountains

And makes great change.

We are a holy flock

Together making miracles

Everything that is placed in my mind to create

Flows into my heart

And stirs my soul awake

So that all my inspirations

Become great manifestations.

And all that I came here to become,

I become

With Grace

And Ease

In great joy!

Sweet Sirena

Resting on the shore of my own soul

Draped across the warm, moist sand of my body

Dipped in source

Steeped in its radiance

Gratitude Cascading through me.

My heart blazing

Fire upon my island beach

That is me

Serenaded by my Goddess self

Calling me to paradise

I feel her lingering

I feel her hold my hand

As I open to embrace her

I feel myself expand

Infinitely deep

Infinitely wide

The ocean of my soul

Carries me with her tide

Rolling and flowing

Moving and retreating

Growing and swelling

Increasing in her wake

I surrender to her tidal motion

Inflated and aroused

Suddenly sprawling

My hands in the clouds

Toes sinking into her sea

One with the earth and the ethers

I was she and she was me.

Soul Fire

Soul-Fire

Soul-Fire

Sea foam onto sun-glazed sand

Glisten beneath my moisture

Sparkling granules

Dazzling

Atoms, molecules

Stars, solar systems…

Waves rolling onto shore

I oscillate

Tides rising

You ride me

Passion surfer

Gliding, shifting, swiftly

Passage to ecstasy

In your zealous wake

I swell in rapture

We collide

Glide

Coast on eternal surf

Rainbow sunlight streaming through sea-spray

We flow

Drift

Other worlds coursing through our veins

Adrenaline

Endorphin

RUSH, FLASH, SPARK, BLAZE

Lightening on waves

Flicker… breathe

Burst, Release

Ahhh

Resurrection

Between worlds

Divine current

Sailing in pleasure & delight

Basking in the source of desire

We reach our edge

Surging forth

Gushing down the cascading falls

Of ecstasy

There is no measure for the fall that feels like flight!

And Flight that is a forward momentum of delight.

Roses & Love

Does the gardener who so cherishes his roses,

Choke them beneath their blossoms

Yank them from their roots

To experience their fragrance,

To inhale & revel in their perfection & beauty?

Does he aggressively pull apart

The tight bud

To see deep inside,

Spy its nectar,

Steal its journey & life

To witness its essence?

No

He waits

He watches

He loves

He is patient & caring.

And when his roses do open

He sits among them in silence

What seems to be a dream

A reverie…

His heart opens to them

As they have for him

And he listens to their silent serenade

His body in bliss

His eyes wide open

His entire soul grateful

He rejoices & celebrates

For that which there are no words to describe;

And he loves

As he has never loved before

Infinitely, Deeply

With all of his might.

And late in the season

When the petals, like poetry spread across the grassy earth

In their transience,

Scatter and rhyme in pastel dignity,

He gathers some in his palm

Touches them

As though they were the hands of Angels.

He Smiles

With a quick child-likeness,

Purity Divine -

Tosses them from his praying palms

Showering himself in silken pink-red sun drops

Communing with God again

Feeling Heaven in his midst…

And proceeds to prune the thorny branches

With a delicate strength

Only the loving gardener can manage & comprehend.

I love you this way.

Do you love me this way?

EMERGENCE

From Abandonment Issues to LIVING WITH SHEER ABANDON!

YOU LEFT ME

To DISCOVER MY WHOLE SELF

YOU LEFT ME

To REMEMBER WHO I AM

YOU LEFT ME

T0 MY OWN INNER POWER

YOU LEFT ME

To DWELL IN MY INNER KNOWING

YOU LEFT ME

ON MY KNEES

SEEKING GOD

BEGGING FOR MERCY

TO FIND THAT THE LOVE INSIDE

COULD NOT BE CONTAINED

NOR MY COURAGE STIFLED

OR MY SOUL-FIRE DISTINGUISHED

YOU OPEN ME UP

YOU INVITE ME TO MOVE BEYOND THE BROKENESS
TO EMERGE BEYOND THE CRACKS

CHASMS and DEEP WOUNDS

OF MY HUMANNESS

YOU MAKE ME WANT TO BREATHE

TO LIVE

TO LOVE

For all the love in me

CAN NOT BE CONTAINED INSIDE

BUT MUST EMERGE

PURE LIGHT

PURE LOVE

PURE STRENGTH

Loving you... Taught me everything I now know about God's love!!!

THANK YOU

Reverie of Her King

He told her that her skin was the color of caramel

The Kind he savored and cherished as a child

the Sweet treats given as rewards after Sunday Mass

He confessed that the sway of her hips held him captive

The song in his silence that he would forever seek.

He told her bedtime stories

no matter of the time

in between their inextinguishable

carnal-soul-ceremonies.

He sung to her in his native Latin tongue

His lips a feast for her insatiable hunger

She would have never known her goddess self

Had he not awakened her gypsy-siren-soul

He revealed her mysterious reflection

Moon Goddess

Sun King

Eclipse

He said she was his sacred altar

The place where he came

To worship God

To remember & forget.

He said she was his Queen

Whose radiant presence he would kneel before

And she, before him, indeed.

How they worshiped one another

In the garden of their love

They might have starved to death

Upon each other’s shore

An Island worlds away.

At times they forgot to breathe,

Were it not for the flood of air required

Between their eternal kisses.

Ceasing for a second

Gasping for breath

To sustain them for many more everlasting days and nights

That bled into each other in crimson soul-fire.

He called her, "Hechicera"

He swore she cast a spell on him

She swore he was her wizard

With magic in his hands.

They beheld only light

And cast it brilliantly upon each other

The blinding illumination of their passion

Flames that kept them alive

And endlessly ignited.

Their demons at first asleep

Lulled by the hypnotic rhythm of their bliss

Though as ecstasy sunk below their horizon

The demons broke free of love’s spell

Creeping into this Heavenly kingdom

Through hidden corridors from within

The endless battles began

Exhaustion was setting in

This Sweet Queen and her Sun King

Became weary and afraid

Separated in the shadows

Beyond each other’s gaze

They reached, and spun and flailed and sunk

It was the beginning of their dying days

This King, he fled

The Queen, she hid

The demons pursued her lord.

She dreams of him in silent retreat

She longs for him forever more.

Sometimes she emerges

from the deep

To pray in open spaces in the light

Where they worshiped and communed

where their very soul's took flight.

She can feel him there from far within

She knows he’s fighting their demons

Somewhere out there

She prays for his return

His absence, an immeasurable chasm

That seems to swallow and devour her faith

Though she knows their love spans life times

Each moment without him an eternity too long to wait.

As deep and vast as was his love

Is as abysmal as this time apart…

She surrenders and accepts

For what is....

She cannot seem to change

But wherever her King does wander

She blesses him -

She feels his rage

Her magic touches him in the ethers

And blesses him in his heart

One day they may reunite

For every end begets a brand new start.
