Mighty Dragon Flies

Two Brothers by Elenor Abbott

facing  elements  mighty  dragon flies
embracing  earth , wind , water  & fire 
unleashing his spirit in spacious skies

mysteries of  life captured in  his eyes 

singing ancient songs, his heart inspires 
facing elements mighty dragon flies

filling water basins below,  heaven  cries
earthly  dreams  arousing  inner  desire 
unleashing his spirit in spacious skies

soaring  new dimensions counter clockwise
courageous creature , winds lift him higher 
facing elements mighty dragon flies

traveling  lands  where  legends  never die 
diamond  studded stars, echoes of a choir 
unleashing his spirit  in spacious skies

golden rays of  light in morning  sunrise   

beating purple heart , mysteries  transpire
facing  elements  mighty dragon flies
unleashing his spirit in spacious skies

spinning

out of control

do you recognize her

in the realm of vacant spaces

fading

~
dancing
shadows of life
captured in black and white
blurry silhouette shades of grey
blending

~
empty
lot of desire
capturing swift movement
dancing into oblivion
waning

Blue Jay's Song

Sing to me blue jay this cold winter day
truth of the heart nestled in silken wings
on restless feet yearning to fly away
sing to me blue jay this cold winter day
remembering my dreams of yesterday
enchanting melodies your music brings
sing to me blue jay this cold  winter day
truth of the heart nestled in silken wings

Frenzy

I dance myself into a frenzy

under blue moonlight

to the drums sultry beat

letting my inhibitions go

flushed in warm moonbeams

casting worries into the night

my heart pounds to the rhythm

as dreams drift towards starlight

I dance myself into a frenzy

Imperfections

through the looking glass

a different dimension of me

soft reflections of who I am

longing for you to touch me 

lightly with your fingertips
tracing my imperfections

against my nakedness

can you feel me

the true me

I wish not

to hide

open

your

eyes

and

you

will

see

me

Weaving Strands of our Being

they  say   dreams  are  for  believing

weaving
adventure in  faraway   lands  

strands
pearls of  wisdom  overseeing

of  our  being 
letting  go  can  be  so  freeing 
close  your  weary  eyes  drift   away 
let  your  inner  child  out  to   play 

weaving strands of  our  being 

writing a new form over at dVerse

Desert Rose

photo by Ed Rose

 My eyes have seen the desert rose

roaming barefoot where the wind blows

memories filled with hopes and dreams

ancient secrets I yearn to know

soft flesh pierced by the thorns of life

bleeding from the cuts of a knife

wounds heal in a tequila sunrise

leave behind the battles of strife

in the distance a flamenco beat

soft petals swirling at my feet

sweet aroma delicate blossom

wilting in the garden of defeat 

my heart is in a solemn place

in the desert land seeking grace

to the songs of the cactus wren

waiting for sunlight's warm embrace
