So many shows - I hear the audience applaud Magic mirror, tell me what to do! You can never satisfy it. It only shows you the reflection The image is reversed Why have I stayed so long? I thought I was healing - so self-righteous! I thought I was a savior, But all I did… Continue reading “Woman On Fire” – Poetry

“There Is a Sweet Hereafter” – Poetry
Fill your days with joy and caring Wisdom, love, and laughter. And always know, without a doubt, There is a sweet Hereafter. It is what you make of it. The images of mind.

“Candle Light Prayer” – Poetry
I come before You humbly As the candle flickers low With all my imperfections In this land of frozen snow.

“Judgment” – Poetry
You are the Lover, the sweetness of Life The Star that shines forever Your temple sits in ruins, Your priestess abandons You You Whose wings have sheltered us and helped us take flight You blocked the poison arrows Our enemies turned to dust Because of You, there was music and laughter A fire to warm… Continue reading “Judgment” – Poetry

“Sentry” – Poetry
A beautiful angel encased in ice Sentry for a thousand years Mask of reality cloaked in shadow Graceful form thrown into sharp relief Standing on the precipice Of the mouth of hell Gazing with deceptive blindness Into endless horror Bones made of ice and stone Skin made of thorns and nails Hands formed from judgment… Continue reading “Sentry” – Poetry
“Reunion” – Poetry
A quest for recollection Search through infinity How long I have known you In sweet felicity! Lost to the land of memory - Where are you? Where? Rising up from the ashes In the depths of despair.
