The unborn child

shadows of past hauntings
pools too deep to fathom
bones too brittle
eyes too tired
mouths left gaping
breaths left gasping
grasping for letters
falling like droplets
filled with unknown
tears of the lost
treasures long hidden
inside someone else' chambers
lit by a single candle
of hope
and I don't know why
and I don't know how
it just flows through
like the gift
of an unborn child

The Inner Wedding

Will you rise to the challenge will you stand in your power will you cross the thick forest and slaughter the demons in your mind to join me at the castle's banquet? I am Queen of my reign and I've already fought many a battle I am searching for my King to stand beside me in the halls of this Palace I've been waiting so long met many a querent but none were strong enough to face me in my day of strength and hold me in my night of terrors I've walked alone like a Princess of Arrows down the bands of luxurious rivers and dined at the table of the Gods.

And now I walk alone, filled with awe and whole in my light, and darkness I salute mysel

Just like the other one…” crack a joke, don’t you spoil the good vibe CHORUS It reminds me of the story of the elephant That miss Murray used to tell us in school Don’t assume that you’ve got the full picture O

A new Flame burning bright

You're back rising from the ashes of the past hazel fire and wood burning with desire for life and understanding leaving no more space for any pretending You walk into my path igniting me from fear ripping me away from my abstinence of silence You've captured me with words ablaze in all their glory the fury of inspiration the passion in the story I tremble with excitement the light inside the tunnel you tempt me without trying and finally I tumble Come beauty of vitality illuminate my way I'll drop all expectation and live as if today was my first one and my last And if you come and be my Muse I'll show you ecstasy we'll live this spring together and let the rest just be
