mix roll flatten bake
honey scents float through the air
sesame cookies

moby and bicky

soft bundles warm me
a tangle of contentment
dawn comes together

moving out again,
elliptical emotions,
planets around the sun

planets around the sun,
transversing the void, spinning
molten at the core

molten at the core,
exploring tectonic cracks
bubbling away

bubbling away
intense heat melts former shapes
no boundries, all merge

luminous crescent
reveals a little each night
pulling us closer

twilight frames the moon
as indigo clouds drift past
thoughts of you follow

lips smooth as silk
stopping time against my neck
stars move above us

colour drenched sky
tropical storm passing by
build up now released

grey storm clouds gather
as waves throw me back and forth
drifting far from shore

a miniscule dot
on a giant landscape..lost
reference points gone

lungs are full I float
breathing out I start to sink
a bird circles overhead

all the stories
float away from my body
slience reigns again

along the seashore
pebbles begin their journeys,
inside dark pockets

family visit

puddles of sweetness
surrounded by family
I wake with a smile

carried in the physical,

time to start moving,
ants set out from underground,
searching out new paths

reflection

foggy headed space,
life continues around me
magpie hits window

smooth leaves carees my belly
from shadow to light

with you at all times,
waiting for your attention ,

cooking food with love,
I am a food alchemist,
this is who I am.

drinking fine red wine,
I am a sensualist,
this is who I am.

channeling words,
I am a haiku poet,
this is who I am.

chopping the onions,
I am a vegetable chef ,
this is who I am.

taking out the bin,
I am the kitchen cleaner,
this is who I am.

I am many people,
In the moment... I am one,
clouds rain onto sea.

Romantic crushes

Eyelashes flutter
grade 2 girl waits for his gaze.
cocoon swings in the breeze.


The Cocoon Nebula, cataloged as IC 5146, is a strikingly beautiful nebula located about 4,000 light years away toward the constellation of Cygnus. Inside the Cocoon is a newly developing open cluster of stars. Like other stellar nurseries, the Cocoon Nebula is, at the same time, an emission nebula, a reflection nebula, and an absorption nebula. Speculation based on recent measurements holds that the massive star in the center of the above image opened a hole in an existing molecular cloud through which much of the glowing material flows. The same star, which formed about 100,000 years ago, now provides the energy source for much of the emitted and reflected light from this nebula.

Thunderstruck

A glance and it flares
Crackling through my body.
Lightning heats the air

I feel a rumble,
Low and deep, shaking the ground.
Closer together.

Both so different,
inextricably linked,
Dark, bright, earth and sky.

Gigantic water wall.
lands with a bone crushing force.

Four meals left,leg broke.
Winter creeps up the mountain.
Stuck, death comes alone.

When I don't really care.
