I played by memory,Timed the breath marks,Knowing every entrance and rest,Honouring them with Grace.The melody never got oldAnd I nearly lost myself in the music —I almost missed the universe raise her fist:Nao dal segno. I mean, I knew there was more to this songAnd some parts I’ve even practiced before —This refrain looks familiar—…

Lions are never surprised [a poetic]
On this I do meditate:Does it surprise you that we arrived together at the lions gate?Two manes wrapped atop our headsAs we took to stately rest in bedYet sleep could not allureFrom temptation of experiencing a love so pureOn this I now meditateDoes it surprise you that we arrived together at the lions gate?Your paws…
“This is a forever thing – just so you know” [poem-thing]
I was so young and excited to be free!I asked if you would appreciate my flightAnd not tie a string to me:“I’m more like a bird, not like a kite.” You laughed and kissed me dearlyAnd said, as you pulled me in close,“My love, I love that you love to flyBut, this is a forever…
Not imagined [poesy]
I was standing here Red dot on a map Of cross roads and constellations When the world slipped from under my feet Vivid emotion Truth spoke my name In a hundred different colours Symphonies of silence Sang the solo of serendipity As I fell into a pillow of peace Warmed by the assurance of my…

Heaven’s mess
(A throwback) The place I heard heaven’s message was where I stood and could see no distinction between the parts of you and the parts of me, mixed up in beautiful chaos, and realized experiencing the universe was what we called “love.” It has been ever so simple since.
you called for me (a micropoem)
I awoke snuggled into your mind, Clutching your brain close under me, My pillow. Let me stroke ease into your heart, Kiss your third eye, And straddle your [root] chakra To bring you back into the heavens Of our personal dimension. Skin to skin, Soul in soul, I’m here to hold. . . . ….
kesmet (an excerpt)
It is an epic. It is unfinished. So there is this… Inevitably, my name will be spoken On the undercurrent of every love line, and Every syllable of speech unspoken of things on the mind, Echoes from his heart. We collided, smashing this dimension Into a million sparkling pieces And rebuilt, me within him, him…
divine/ unclothe my mind [a poem]
I’m standing before you Almost entirely naked – Almost. … Waiting with this last shred… I’m asking you to unclothe my soul Let your fingers run delicately down my spine Tracing the dignity of a thousand ancestral goddesses before me That bore me; See that my eyes are not like stars But entire galaxies themselves…
as will you & I at dawn and dusk [a poem]
Maybe I was beautiful Once, behind the dust veil Lace dancing on the light Blessing the space our souls danced In the ballroom between our lips. I look over my shoulder at you, demure smile Mystery learned from your secret-keeping ways Will it hurt you to count the others that have waltzed here since you left…
uncanned laughter/with a side of thighs (an excerpt)
Excerpt from one of my unfinished epics, feministic and self-loving in nature. I am quite delighted and proud in being a woman. Actually, I just love it. I am a woman let me breathe cosmos swirling inside me, repeatedly flooding, overwhelmed by creation craved, my art is still not enough. I am to give birth…
microcosm [a poem]
One of the areas in which I have experienced extraordinary growth over the past few years, this last one in particular, is my spirituality. I grew up with a particular leaning towards favouring science, viewing it as though it were separate from all the rest of the concepts. As the rebel daughter of a Tarot reader,…
