Wishing For Rain
Sleepless nights fade
into reflective mornings
and I find myself there
gazing out of winter windows
searching dark horizons
for a glimpse of the rain
that teases my senses with hope
the aroma of things yet to come
lingers heavy upon the sill
and yet if feel no comfort
in the possibility
As dawn stretches and wakes
I slowly begin to realize
her presence is
much more demanding
that I could have ever imagined
an overwhelming beauty
that majestically
takes hold of
everything she touches
turning hearts inside out
changing lives forever
writing and rewriting destiny
ah, such power she does wield
I find myself cringing
as I watch the stars
disappear one by one
behind the brilliance of her hues
a faint light of what they use to be
lingering in wait somewhere
on the other side of today
praying for the birth
of a whispered dream
to illuminate their presence
so they can be seen shining
within her beauty
But not all stars shine brightly
and not all dreams get dreamt
in that place beyond the slow
tick of time-where dreams die
and broken hearts stay broken
the colors of dawn
are just a faint memory
and the stars that fade
are soon forgotten
Beyond the hush of day
there 'neath radiating skyscapes
I ponder what this revelation
truly means to me-
I'm not a star
that shines so bright
I'm not dawn
who swallows night
I'm but a girl
standing in a window
beneath fading
starlight
wishing it would
rain

through my soul and for once, just
once, feel exactly what I feel, believe
what I believe, perceive as I perceive,
look, experience, examine and for
once, just once understand.....me"

Midnight Ink
And on nights like this
When Luna barely shows her face
And the wind howls wicked
And the sky cries lonely
And I'm the only one
Out here searching the stars
In the darkness
I can't fight back the tears
That will eventually claim my cheeks
And then
My pen calls to me
Beckoning my soul
And I know I've got to go
I'm a slave to it's ink
A whore to it's salvation
There are no faces
Or names
attached to the pain
It's just a collogue
of lost dreams
and broken memories
Collectively bleeding
Hues across tattered pages
But it is as it should be
My pain, my loneliness, my love
Pouring from my heart
Penning yesterdays long gone
And the promise tomorrows yet to be
And I know this won't save me
But for one moment
There in the dark
It feels like it just might
So I write and I write
And when dawn yawns
Rousing slowly awake
I am able to find a minute of beauty
A moment of peace that is all mine
There in the silent hope of a new day

"There are nights
when the wolves
are silent
and only the
moon howls"
-George Carlin-
"The battle ahead
isn't for our survival,
its for our
Humanity"
"Even the smallest light
shines in the darkness"
"And the sad truth is
I could whisper in your ear
every moment of every day
that I love you
and all that would do
is validate what we both
already know
and that is
that sometimes
love doesn't
move mountains
and sometimes
love does have
boundaries
and worst of all
sometimes
love
just
isn't
enough"
-LadyRaine-
"Courage doesn't always roar,
sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
-I will try again tomorrrow- "
* Mary Nadmancher *
"The best and most
beautiful things in this world
cannot be seen or even heard,
but must be felt with the heart."

"Perhaps strength doesn't reside
in having never been broken but
in the courage required to grow
strong in the broken places"
When time winds down
and stars grow cold
and bending space
is straight (at last)
when the ribbon
of life's mysteries unfold
and that all that ever will
has come to pass
you and I
within the multiplicity
of threads...
a single breath
a unity of lips
and in the end
(as always)
just a word

there is no happiness like mine,
I have been eating poetry"
-Mark Strand-
"Browsing the dim back corner
of a musty antique shop
opened an old book of poetry
angels flew out from the pages
I caught the whiff of a soul
the ink seemed as fresh as today
was the voice whispering
the tree of the paper still grows"
-Pixie Foundre
"Love and the muses
have the same retreats.
The star that guides love
is the poets star"

"Sometimes you just have
to take the leap and build your
wings on the way down"

"To forget yourself,
is to see everything else"

"Shine on me baby,
cuz its raining in my heart"
