Cocoon

Wrap around myself softly, sweetly
Take place, in my own little cocoon
Turn to the inside, safe and sound
Nothing will touch me here, vulnerable
Try to reach in and feel nothing, no response
The brain shuts down to rest, hibernate
The heart nurtures the soul, healing
Transformation to beauty, metamorphose
Close my pretty eyes, so sleepy
It's okay to hide here, I say
Nothing will happen here, I promise
The only thing I ask for is time, it heals
Minutes, hours, days, weeks, years
Reawaken when ready, no rush
Quietly walk along, in the shadows
Keep away from the social, hermit
It's okay to do, my sweet soul
Finding guidance and help, fret not
I will have answers soon, I hope
You will become stronger, I know
Smile my sweet, it's okay to sleep
Tomorrow is a new day, embrace it

Disconnected

Wonder in wonders in thoughts in thought
Sifting through the emotions that were sold
Sifting through the emotions that were unknown
Sifting through the emotions that are known

Blinks in a blink in awe of awes
Breaking down the thoughts that were toxic
Breaking down the thoughts that were useless
Breaking down the thoughts that are needed

Somehow I always knew my heart
Somwhere along the way, it was led astray
All along, it was denied outright
How can I be suprised at the disconnect?

Night Photography

A bit of a derivation from my standard for this blog by not posting poetry but rather another one of my types of thoughtsketches: photography. Not just any photography though, night photography.

I have a certain passion for night photography that I do not fully comprehend. Perhaps it's the contrasts, the play in the shadows, the play of the lighting, and the detail it requires to notice all the nuances. Part of my love for photography is part of my vow to never take my sight for granted. I have sight in only one eye, so I make it a point to notice detail and to breath in every beautiful sight.

Take these two lovely pictures, for instance. I took this the other night after a coffee date with a friend. I brought my camera with me with the express hope of getting some pictures. It was a nice clear and crisp chilly evening. I find the crisp, cool air makes for neat pictures. Knowing how the weather (temperature, cloud cover, etc) can impact photos is worth while to figure out. Because, the results are simply stunning.

Missing/Idling

It's a strange feeling, missing
No regret begins these eyes
Something feels unsure
Moving forward, processing
Seeing what therein lies
Something feels sad
What to do with this, idling

Potential

I see your potential (do you see?)
Woven inbetween the sheets (we feel)
Reality sets in (what do you we want?)
Eyes open for a peak (it feels wonderful)
Breathing in a sigh (how will this work?)
Whisper gently in a smile (the spark afire)
Practical in nature (when will it happen?)
Oh, the heart screams out (burning bright)
Arms wrapped around us (what about after?)
The morning light coaxes us awake (peaceful)
Sitting and wondering (is this love?)
Kisses of heaven on our lips (bathing in bliss)
Don't want to let go (can you provide?)
Blind faith set out to trust (listen to our hearts)

Taking a chance

Delving deeper and deeper into a dream
Never would have thought what I have seen
Breath of music, sex over music vibes
Make my body vibrate from within
Sing the song of my heart
It soars

Eyes of a seductrice takes over
Smile of knowing a secret
Come out and play with me
Discover my secrets
You know you want
Come play

Slowly lay down on the soft sheets
Inhale slowly as you come closer
This is how it feels, baby
I'm your duchess
You're my king
Love me
