Jewel

Seeing you
For the first time
Unfiltered,
Unaltered,
Raw,
Unaware of your power
To inspire
Love,
that moves mountains,
Change,
that alters the course
of rivers, deeply scored into rigid earth,
Reignite a
heart,
Staggered by daggers
and swords
To beat a new message forth…
Seeing you for the first time
Is a moment of recognition,
The fervant phasing thru body of
Lifetimes
Into a solitary infusion point of
Rebirth
I have loved you before,
Now,
Forever.
Without a word spoken…
I am seeing the necessity of
This calamitous condition of unearthing
Self worth,
Raising eyes,
And expectation
That I might gaze beyond
The minute world,
Look up
And discover you
My universe…

Mirage?

by dscribe1, posted in Poetry, Spirituality, Uncategorized, Writing

I have been trying to hold
Water
In my left hand,
Bear this life giving essence
Through
Our desert.
-Reach you
With the raindrops I have found pooled
Beneath a rock.
Somewhere, nothing so precious should be left worth saving,
 -in barren land
But, from the moment I saw you
there
praying,
in the sand
Crying out for the storm
to bless you,
I was moved to Purpose
Pressed to gather my weariness
About me,
Craft,
a divining rod with the breastbone of my chest…
I was withering here with Wait
My own thirst
Buried low,
Beneath a dune, of long ago dried promises-harsher than the endless sand,
My singular gift left     useless
That is
Until 
God said,
Look,

Fire

Reaching You

by dscribe1, posted in Fools for love, Poetry, Spirituality, Uncategorized

Already there,
Already aware,
That some love changes things
-calculated ripples ring
Through space and time
Already know
the day
When you and I
have become…
Soft, this place with you
Safe, this space
where words confessed bear fruit,
Heal wounds,
Present days break through
-Past
Trust issues
-Life adjusts for truth
This is the good place.
And, I
find us,
In the only way I could-
With you, Always…

Sunday Love Notes…

by dscribe1, posted in Fools for love, Poetry, Spirituality, Uncategorized, Writing

So, it’s the Memorial Day weekend and while I am taking some time out, I want to also take a moment to THANK our active duty, former military service members, and the families of our fallen heroes. It takes tremendous strength and courage to do what you are called to do, in general-not everyone does or can heed the call. But, to take up the challenge of military service carries some other level willingness toward sacrifice-that makes you special. So, I for one, appreciate you!! Thank you, for your courage and your service!

That said, as I was prepping this post and thinking I would just go with the standard poem, I literally came across a song that seemed particularly apropos…take it as it resonates.

Me, I’m just validating the love is real…

Music link after the poem (do check out the lyrics on this one)…

LEAPING for Love

Being
Thisclosetoyou
Is
Standing
On the edge
Of the world
Before God
created round,
Surrounded on one side
by all that is earthly, miraculous,
New
And Yes,
God, Yes!
Beautiful…

To my left,
I might step
Into
Firmament,
Weight-less-ness,
Lost gravity
in
Empty space.
Would this place take my
breath away, too?
as I drift
In starlight
and deafening silence?

The unknown makes me afraid.
-Newborn
I am unfamiliar with
Life
Or
Death

Yet…

as this morning
-Breaks
I am light on all sides
Free to possibility…

Feet in place,
Eyes closed
I wait-
just on the edge-
Ready for the new wind
To lead me…

Writer’s Block

Wandering girl,
You begged me to tell your story,
Because you said you could just tell by the look in my eye,
that I loved you..
Could do justice to-all of your regrets…
So,
everything exceptional
about you
I wrote down in black and blue sentences
inside my weathered journal.

You said you liked the way
I lay you down,
Then turned around and
tried to lift you up,
off paper…
Some kind of, snake charming, flute
Player, you said.
Hypnotising,
Something exotic
With your craft
I liked that…
And then, sometimes
When you wanted to
You danced for me, too
Like you did with all those other conquests
That didn’t last…

You would never do that to me, would you, Beautiful? You asked.

My eyes were always on you, while you
Gave away those old stories with your
Body Sway
We stayed locked in the trance, though
Making childsplay
Of something deadly…
You and me
Always caught
Split seconds between song
And silence…
Maybe, a Cobra’s strike
I should have known better…

These days
The music and my pen lie motionless,
There isn’t much room at the bottom of the page, anyway.
So, I’m left with an incomplete story…
Besides that,
I never did ask you your name
And, you never gave it-Beautiful.

Who loves you, baby?

by dscribe1, posted in LGBTQ, Poetry, Spirituality

Ah, February!

The month we celebrate 28 days of LOVE in and every fourth year, add one special day, to Leap for it…

But, of those days, none is more worthy than February 14th.

She reigns supreme…

Many a grand gesture…

In truth, I had a post all prepped and ready to go in honor of LOVE but, when I woke up, a thought took hold…keep it simple (well, simple for me). Makes sense, I think…

Why not just say it…

Say something…

I would know you…

Out of the blue
I’m lost
Falling head over heels
Stumbling toward
-Adrift in
What I am feeling-
Who is this,
Who whisks me out of the
World and into
The fog?
What otherworldly power has it
She?
To tether me,
in the mist
-at will
Did I choose the course?
Or is,
Such a love
As this
Boundless-
Indefensible,
Intense,
The likes of which
Only soulmates
Would wish
Willingly…
To give up-
Undo,
Undermine,
Risk…
Just
to find
Again, in a place like this?

I can prove to you,
Such a love exists….

~D.E

*Whether you have a love in your life or don’t, whether it is a good love or not so much, it is almost always tethered to how well you are willing to love yourself first…choose wisely.*

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Take to the ledge…

Cue the music…

LEAP!
