50
Road worn and tales rich, I have finally arrived at my doorstep. No doors, locks or unwanted guests. What a glorious sight I am home to behold.

I am
I will always feel more than most, but I am not unique. I will never know who named me, but I am not nameless. I will always stumble and fall, but I am still standing.
Hunted
If this is how you love me, then please stop. Listen, you can’t. Accept, you won’t. Your advancement is both calculated and random; relentless and underhanded. The antithesis of compassion and trust, I grow weary with self-doubt. Danger on que, chaos pursues. You love me. So disappear I must. Hide I shall try, but why? …
Heaven
If I were spirit and nature itself, I would float a lazy river, half in, half out; hypnotized by the canopy of leaves and birds dancing overhead. Light shifting and sparkling with the wind. Composer and performer in play. Eddying in each moment, aware only of a bird’s call or warm current that catches me …
One percent
The goal is a hundred, but I want less. Less of what others desire, and more of what I require. One percent of the human condition that only the rare, wounded and gifted experience; and even for them – only in the safety of their dreams. A crude and fantastic earthly existence, where flesh is …
When our time comes
No one can truly prepare for the day or split second when their life will end. The inertia and gravity of that solitary moment is inescapable. It’s a truth that inspires, paralyses and haunts us all.

I both love and fear the ocean. Its power and movement are un-tamable and absolute. At best, I’m part of it. At worst, all consumed. But I’d far prefer an ocean’s wrath to that of the misinformed passive observer. The scrutiny of false friends lays court for the trial of betrayal and a loss that …
Soft and fierce
Polar opposites, you and I. One too many. The smoothest of translucent pastels and paints cohabitating, so oddly, with a legion of battled scared amazons. You inhabit the same being, me. Inside out, outside in. Both, all, guardians of my light.
Why me
Victim I am not. That’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking how awake you are, to know that you had a choice. A moment in time, if you recall, where you said yes to me, and no to another. Why me? The fact that you’re perplexed with the question concerns me. Round and round we …
Dream Lover
Often at night – so loud within – I awaken to your demand to join your tribal dance. I laugh – asking you to let me sleep. Not tonight you say, with a gush and pulse so strong I am now awake. You are safe. Let me show you how much I know and love …
