Hidden Wine Closet

-

For you,

Ancient Love,
Wind of light's romancing...

Stretching me open,
a cave within caverns..
Secret gemstones,
hidden wine closet.
Garden who's paths twist,
orchards, meadows, galaxies...

Poetry in your embrace
a thousand words, you never had to,
but still spoke..

Rolling and tumbling,
Rising from inside your ransom,
shimmering shades of pleasure..

Can't tell our colors apart anymore..

Expanse & Time

-
Sometimes, when wind blows at midnight,
I have to stop...and feel the earth move..
Standing, in reverent wonder,
as silence, and sound travel through me..

whispers of portals, laden with secrets in love.
Starry sky, opening, in clear resounding tenderness..

calling to my deepest remembrance of mystery..

I can hear all the moments of your heart reaching mine...

The expanse of our emotion,
is bigger than my recollection of life..
I close my eyes...
Floods of sunlight,
shooting stars, and sandy shores, fly past my vision..

My heartbeat slower...
encompassed by the warmth, of your energy in creation.
-Haven't we always been?-
This friendship, intimately woven,
before my birth was thought of, in this realm.

Close my eyes once more,
see a shoreline horizon within..

Oceans emerging from my chest,
Barriers taken apart, spilling out,

toward a song we love to sing.

Our eyes meeting again..

We are, sunrise, and sunset...outside of time.
I am, overwhelmingly, delightfully overtaken.
You, the finality of love.

I began this poem a few weeks ago, from a moment outside one night...it's about the forever space that we live in with Creator God...then it sat for awhile, untouched as an outline; when a friends' blog post inspired me to finish writing.
"We All Belong" (link below), by 'Back to Eden Group' reminded me to finish writing, when they asked the question:--- "Are you able to go back to Eden in the DNA of your memory bank and find your first recollection of life?" 
-(Check out the rest of their blogs as well! Amazing, beautiful things are happening!)

El Dorado

-
-
Yellow scarf around my neck..
Muddy boots, and happy heart.
Something makes me want to ride horses.
Stopping at every corner to take pictures.

Waking up my heart again.
Found a trail that runs deep,
through hills I've been waiting to explore.

I draw in new breath, Yours returning to my lungs.
Heart beats quicker, remembering the pleasure of movement.
I feel alive.

Light catches glow on living blades of grass,
Golden pale, warming reflective surfaces,
A sunlit cascade, hillside serenade..
-
Igniting every color in me.

Nature sings in cadence.
I hear our quiet...hear You breathe.

Dirt rustles under my feet,
telling of delight.
These rocks hold mysteries
older than my body, but not my soul.

Heaven's sound, in a chorus of pure mountain air...I'm listening.

Swaying pull of adventure,
pleading always, for just a few more steps..
I can't turn back until both our hearts are satisfied.

Your creation is poetry, waiting to be written.
(I'm on a mission...to find it's treasure.)

This wild belongs to You.
Land rolling in such intricate dimension..

Sky, bright as a Father's smile,
reminding me to keep walking,
past a voice that says:
"Better go back. You'll only get lost".

There is freedom to explore,
Lose sight of where we started.
-
I won't get lost with You..

Roses
-
It's petals are lovely like velvet crushed
Deep red silken wonder of unfolding
Crimson to the seer's touch like blood's breath
Striking curiosity into love
Wild, growing, perceiving earth within sky
Thorns protect your naked form of beauty
Softness hidden like sacred truth beheld
Color so rich that sound is jealous
Fabric full of life, contemplating stars
Roots forge under soil forever alive.

Dream Sonnet

Skyward views under moonlit canopies
These innocent stars
Their liquid vows shimmer
It's so easy to fall asleep..
Lullabies of amber glowing melodies
Night sings to me
In iridescent voices
A chorus becomes my pillow and blanket
Symphony, my warmth until sunrise.
Wrapped in evening shades of dusk
Traveling from twilight...
Through waterfalls of midnight.
Dreams knit together like lace..
I won't be back til morning.

Dreams

This was another writing exercise from poetry class awhile back. -"Villanelle" format. We had to follow a specific line, rhyme, and alternating repeating verse pattern. Fun to stretch in a new way! -Some of the wording that had to rhyme in a "Vilanelle" felt a bit cheesy, but all for the sake of the exercise, haha. ---(My favorite feedback from this poem: "Wow, that made me not hung over for a second...")

Falling into dreams tonight
I drift into other worlds
Laughing as my heart takes flight

Swaying past senses and sight
Dancing through foreign galaxies
Falling into dreams tonight

Unknowing is peace, alright
Swirling with new planets
Laughing as my heart takes flight

Stars become my friends and light
Clouds release their shape align
Falling into dreams tonight

Journey to the other side
Every step a mystery
Laughing as my heart takes flight

We sleep in perfect harmony
Living life in another reality
Falling into dreams tonight
Laughing as my heart takes flight.

Lion

This poem is written in the first person context, of my own connection with our Creator; but is meant to reflect the place in His heart that each of us individually and especially hold...explore that however you feel inspired.

A Lion walks with me..

His rich red devotion,
Dripping, crimson..
An anthem indestructible,
Blood stained ballad..

Invitation to forever.

In awe
of this truth
that my heart,
my voice,
romance the 'I Am'..

I am Your delight,
our desire moving Heaven..
My laughter, Your dearest joy.

Breaker of every chain
Name above all other names
You choose me...without hesitation.

Constellations, pathways..
Your thoughts, a handmade journal..
each page written,
to my deepest longing.

How You love,
to be my everything...

Refusing to leave my side..

Irrevocable Lover..
Cadence of Courage..

I know Your whisper well..
Breathing secrets unimaginably lovely.
Somehow I believe,
that my eyes
have overwhelmed You..
