Soul Purpose
the dreams we chase
place after elusive place
dwell inside, not outside
bless us with a state of grace
that our spirits may awaken
might this be...
our soul purpose

Origami Swan
indispensable beauty
shape of your lips is magic
eyes, cerulean skies
bluer than the bluest blue
soul of my ocean meets your beach
curves and strands of virgin-white sands
poetess of enchantment
sun goddess spinning gold
an origami swan
watch facets of her unfold
essentially sensual flower
red-velvet petals of a rose
taken by summer wind
only to admire, not to hold

Deeper Than Oceans
we are kindred, we are one
there are no miles
no space, no time
no geography
that interconnected poet's
cannot erase
no lines that separate
we share words and verbs and rhymes
we're more than serendipity
something beyond chosen
see, my poems found you
your creativity touched me
and now we
we dance, we sing, we play, we bring
the kind of love we all long to know
a natural, organic, bond
that exists in the now
no need for explanation
the specialness we share
an awesome cause for celebration
we go deeper than oceans
spirit riders surfing clouds
we are shooting stars
enchanting each other's eyes

All For You
watercolored, dreamy
beach sequences
paintbrush wishes
early morning drifting
my eyes, mesmerized
everyone adores sunrise
it's real, it's real, it's actual
factual, zero filters
god is an unrivaled artist
he loves and embraces
everybody, every hue
this one's, all for you

Poetry of Morning Light!
a taste of home
a touch of soul
sight of vibrant sea
feel light radiate heat
warm, what's inside of me
all we need to do is be,

Sacred Secrets
traveling, I'm traveling
at the insane speed
of life we're travelers
sojourners on deserted roads
fish out of water islands
to one another's hearts
it can be a lonely
path
not many notice or venture
too far before turning back
indeed its treasure finding
others along the way
traveling, I'm traveling
at the insane speed
of life we're travelers
sojourners on deserted roads
fish out of water islands
to one another's hearts
though we'll gather freely
arriving where we began
this lightening path isn't wide
enough to hold each other's hand
we greet and encourage then
continue on our wandering way
traveling, unraveling
gypsy carnival, fortune-tellers
sacred secrets kept
under glass
dreamers with a crystal ball
life is a fantastical, fairytale ride
until we're summoned to fall
we've nothing to hide
but deep inside we'll never
tell it all

This is our unexpected, serendipitous, first collaboration between @lostdog594 and myself, @followcb but it will not be our last;)
As always, I'm grateful to create alongside a passionate, humble, poet, who has incredible intuitive sensibility about his art!
A Voice Emerging (Fierce Wolf)
a poem is a call, a cry,
a hymn, a psalm, a song
the sound of a tree falling
in the silence of a unnoticed forest
the roar of a lion's warnings
a whisper, a murmur, an echo
an a cappella solo of a voice emerging
an empath, a fighter, a soldier
a warrior spirit baring light and truth
a poem is an act of bravery
words forged and formed courageously
fearlessness in the face of uncertainty
an anthem from a poet's heart
insistent, persistent, determined
deliberate, thunderous pounding
of a passionate drummer unleashed
emotional, emphatic, unrelenting
howl of a fierce wolf in the night
a poem is an alarm
ringing to wake us up

The Forest Floor
fall to the forest floor
where solitude and serenity
resonate so much more
amid deeply hued hillsides
carpeted with luscious trees
my soul plunges like waterfalls
such a rush sets my spirit free
to walk and climb and breathe
among such rich bounty
I am a haunter, a hunter
a wanderer, an explorer
unearthing life's peacefulness
new discoveries in shadowy woods
sun streams of light
cut darkness into rays and stripes
cavernous wilderness is ripe
teeming with every precious treasure
have to pinch myself
feels like an enchanted dream
rolling peaks dressed
in magical shades of green
deep inside these lush valleys
I build my beautiful nest, unseen
quiet place where I can rest
underneath this surreal canopy
you'll always find me
here on the forest floor
my sanctuary, secret place I adore
my nirvana, this private bliss
