Heart's Dance

Heart's Dance

Her Dream Dance longed to be unleashed
 Her need to see all confusion released

Thoughtful visions of self clearly seen
The arrival of ancient wisdom
Through women of modern power
 All Worlds flow together;
 light, kind and keen

The breath surges into the light
The Heart's dream begins to spire
 It's Dance of Love
 Climbing to the top of the pyre

Her deep beauty finally to be seen
Acceptance and desire together
Form her True Dream

Through the Goddesses
Grateful hands and Heart
Forever Souls, flying together
May they, pray they never part

Dance, Dance, Romance...

Romance is the dance of life
for me, it always seemed,
 to cause a lot of strife
so many men
so much time
until one day in may

that was the day that changed it all
but he was not just another
it was a real fall

i jumped in, and wondered
was it more than the others
i felt lifted up
after the years of too many beers
i was rising up
crawling out from 
under the haze of the past
through the daze that seemed to last and last

there were always so many emotions 
that usually led to too many drinks
and too many fights and too many tears

so here we go again,
i try to tell my real story
show you the real me
tell you all the tales of joy, sorrow and woe
all the deep dark tales hanging me way down low
but i tell myself
i shan't , i can't, i am no longer that she
i have risen and ascended to who i should be

I begin each day with grateful thoughts
instead of dread and fear

I see each moment as an opportunity to grow
change and be that girl
who dreamed of sharing her love of words
her passion for theater
her act melts away
 onto the stage behind the shadowy curtains

it is my time to step into my spotlight
to reach a bigger audience
to teach, to share, to grow 
and care for me  
it is my time to shine
 no more waiting on riches
 for they are already here
I am a star
always have been 
always will be
i have just been hiding 
behind male curtains
of shame and ego
it is now time that i let go

so here is a tale of a girl
who was impaled by
 deceit within families
 full of hidden addictions
religions and secrets

yet, through the times
 of loneliness and pain
we never left each others side
our love to strong to stop

so, who is this girl 
hidden in the words of 
a women's wisdom
holding the past
 like a guest, at gilded party,
  dressed in soot filled rags,
   ready to be booted to the curb
but still, keeping the dusty trails
within all the worry pails

I release her into the sea of love
her pails empty, ready to be filled again

Now, under the dreams of the past
I mire through the reality of my present
and I am grateful
for each smile from the girl that I birthed
for the son that always shines
for the riches that are always to be mine
today is the love
and together we shine
our tomorrow is forever

The Cake of Life

       THE CAKE OF LIFE
        IS FROSTED IN LOVE

       FILLED WITH SWEET SURPRISES

       EACH  LIGHT 
        MAKING WISHES COME TRUE

       ALWAYS ENOUGH 
        TO SHARE

       EACH DAY
        A NEW BITE

        EVERY BITE 
         A BURST OF COMPLETE BLISS

        FULFILLMENT
         TO THE LAST CRUMB 

TODAY IS ON TIME

Now that yesterday is past
Today is the gift
Giving blindly to the future


Now that yesterday is a memory
Today is the present
Opened in the eyes of tomorrow

Now that yesterday is a story
Today is that tale
Told by fortune's fool

Now that tomorrow is gone
Yesterday's story is forgotten
Today is on time

cheers

I'm having a hard time hard time
 understanding my mind
and what it should be

 I'm having a hard time hard time
making this world of mine
something that I would like to be

 I'm having a hard time hard time starring
out the window
and the rain and shadows
of the and love

seeing everything clearly now
  I was lost and you and found me
 and we made a vow

I'm having a hard time hard time
 figuring out the who"s and whys
 of this strange reality

 I'm having a hard time our time
 writing and diving in the past
 crying for the things that didn't last

Lives gone forever miscarriages
of justice
for my reality
 all the tears of sorrow
this world of lies
my work remains
 of you for me
my heart cannot go on

 I feel so  lost and tired
  like I could  disappear
so much sorrow and emotion
a world swept up in  fear

 if you would just
 breathe
 you hold me close right now
 before I lose control

you call me crazy
 call me crazy
"Crazy", "thank you"
 just show me that you care
 let's turn this all around
let to the air

 we belong together
 yes we were born to love

those around us see us turn around
 cuz they see that they are also
 having a hard time hard time
 just like you and me

 and this hard time to time
 our love is clear to me
 I know you are makin
 it be as can be
 and I know so many
 ways to you you see
and I know my love is clear

you must know
this is the way your heart was
 always know your heart is here
 and my heart is where you belong
 with me ever strong
 forever to be this time this
time this time
is my time
and love is
everywhere

time after time

Dances in Ecstasy

Annabelle stood at the bank of the rose river;
her champagne gown sparking with ivory lace.
Her breath kissing the seafoam shore,
cleansing the rocks and sand.

A Goddess, standing strong 
as an open mountain;
her heart growing wide with love's light.

Fingers rise sweeping the wind with her inner light

An Amber glow grows and flows upon her long locks 
She commands the Moon to rise, 
and glides swiftly along the rocky beach

She feels the Serpent rising deep within her

"Shall we dance to entice them?"

Sudden, sweet drums begin
her breath quickens
to match the rhythm of the hands 
sounding out the call of the wild heart.

Wet hair lashes across her painted face
she becomes the red rhythm of the wind 

Her kaleidoscope eyes catch beauty in the water

she smiles and the dance of ember reveals
A Sunburst emerging from her core
with floating arms dripping fireworks into the water

The Ecstatic dance continues,
the pulse grows faster, faster...

Everything becomes Emerald

The now green goddess embodies
the pure heart-light.
Flames grow again.

Her higher heart becomes
the pure violet flame of life

"Shall we sing to invite them"

Starlight offerings
transform songs of desire
into music of love

Churning the circle of love,
the flower of life

Head spinning, sweeping circles,
flaming locks of love

Her lions mane becomes
the sacred crown of passion and truth


"Shall we dream to free them?"

Spirals spinning webs of joy.
Fractal forms enchanting,
enveloping, enhancing.

One dance, one song,
one dream made real
in the light of one love

Anchor of Love

In the still of the light
  the sea sings our song
    the song of love

In the still of the light
  we find solace
     in the waves 

 The Grand Solstice approaches
    we await the awakening
      of our midsummer dream

 Time has found us
   We answer its call
     with love's kiss

 In the arms of life
  I am held by your light
    together we create dreams
      coming true in our peace

 We walk together
    along the misty shores 
      of lost visions

 Waiting for clearing

 We search...

   We find It
    In the Sea of Hope
      held by The Anchor of Our Love
