Already Had It

Trudging
towards
a goal, just
out of reach, but
always somehow
seeming
within
my grasp,
someday,
if I can
just chase it
fast enough,
hard enough
to catch flight
but then, I looked
down into my hands
and saw, surprise,
I already had it,
I was chasing
nothing.
So what do
you do
when you
find out
you already had
what you
thought you
always wanted?

Just stop.
Just.
Stop.

Just.

Stop.

Stop running.
Build roots.
Breathe.
And grow
into who
I thought
I always
wanted to be.

Daily Prompt: Free

I was asked to define “tantra” recently – here’s a much better answer than the one I gave, I think.

Cytherean Dreams

Daily Prompt: Morphing

Free

I free you.
When I love you, and
transmute the universal light
from heaven down
through energy spirals swirling
through the core of me
the heart and soul
and depths of me
and it flows out
through my hands
my third eye, my sacred
temple and into you
in rainbows bursting
born of ecstasy
and healing, cleansing
rebirth of you, from me,
I free you.
Free is love and tantric fire
and compassion and nurturing,
a shining silver connection.
I free you,
so you can be
amazing.

Fever

Awakening, feverish,
memories of you
hovering over me
effortlessly exposed
and you grinned and said
I woke up today dreaming
about you, about that moment
and fevered and shaking
you haunted my hands
as I lost myself in you.
So I reached
up for you and
pulled you close
never thinking
that would be
the last time I could.
Fevered aching today
again
and wondering
do you ever still
dream, and wake sweating
lost in memories
of me?

Proposal

I knew what I
was doing, when I
proposed. He didn’t
force me. I
walked in with open
eyes, clear head,
loving hands.
But I broke him
to fix him, and
walked away from
my question,
in the end.

Unseen

You are always with me,
my unseen husband,
hands sky black
swirling with stars
through your fingertips
keeping pieces of me
hidden from others
shared only with you
even as I travel with them
for a while, on
their journeys to light.
I may walk with them
but your hands
and your words
never leave my heart.

Daily Prompt – Happily Ever After

Daily Prompt

Blended

There’s no happily ever after
for me. Not yet, at least.
There’s too much longing and
separation and love
poured into a drowning man
and needs falling
by the wayside as
I live life alone.
But there’s so much
growing and building and
becoming a force
they have to reckon with
and igniting sparks of
desire and inspiration and
laughing with the universe
at the twists and turns
of life, even
the painful ones.
So blended pleasure, then,
as the goddess pours
one cup into the other
red wine sloshing
onto her green velvet gown,
her unseen husband
enfolding her in
his hands.
