[Soaring Feather]

My birthday wish he sent to me
meant all the world to me
he said, I am the world to him

I said, you are my sun and moon
together a world we build for us
our own universe....

We sing our songs to one another there
for the stars to hear and swear
our loyalty to us we share
whispering in the winds out there...

Happy Birthday
A love poem

I'm not sure you want me
to give you a poem like this
for your birthday --
a poem which says I need
to bury myself in the center of your heart
and swim there like a mermaid.

I pretend to do ordinary things like
birthday cards
but all the cells in my body are
throwing a tantrum because
you're not here with me
even when I open the dishwasher
or the blind
my body is aching because I'm not bending for you
and my skin shouts angrily to the angels
because your hands are not touching me

I am completely crazy
crazy for you
and because it's your birthday
I try to fold my love
in half to go in an envelope
like an ordinary 'love from'
but I may as well fold the sky
which for me
is held aloft
only by your kisses.

This picture was my avatar
at another place quite far
It was a perfect pic for me
the feather is bent
don't you see...

They eagle flies over me
and the wolf is by by side
I loved this avatar you see
I think it's quite perfect for me...

Tricky Thing, The Mind

You ever had a thought that seems to linger on the edge,
never quite crystal clear, but never far from being there.
A nagging little thing that just nibbles away like a dredge,
until you want nothing more then to finish with it you swear.

Its just a simple trick of our crafty little mind,
such a clever little thing, almost demented in its behalf.
It works on us perhaps just to remind,
or does it do it to remind us we’re not so smart, did it just laugh?
