In every woman’s face I see her face

In every woman’s face I see her face 

and her many ages 

In magazine covers 

I see her in my minds eye with her lovers 

I wanted to be hers 

but that train was missed 

and its engine purrs as it moves further and further away.

no more to be brighten my day 

I am just observer 

a poet a writer 

Looking for her in everyone woman 

I want her to be free and loved

but I miss her like a lost glove needs a hand 

I don’t know wether anyone understands 

Her smile lights up any room

her absence sets up my gloom.

You bring the light that saves

You bring the light that saves 

You are the brave

the one who stands true

the spark in me and you

you are the soul

the one who loves through and throughout 

no doubt 

The one who believes 

breathe the light

don’t give up your fight

this is your right

born without a sign

divine 

I was your first word 

I will fly to you like a bird

goddess of love

My friend from above

Cannot keep looking for love with mirrors and mirror people 

I looked to my parents to show me love 

and god above

but I remember so little of my traumatic past 

cast into the fires of hell

where I can’t tell 

heaven from hades 

light from shade 

a knife a blade from a blade of grass

I look to be fore filled 

which of our wills

is greater

I am no hater of humanity

we are all mirrors 

of what we’ve been shown

but I won’t end up cold and alone

by choice 

I will find my inner voice 

my inner sense 

of love 

because I am stronger than relying on friends 

and family to tell me who I am

I don’t need my reflection to know I am real

I clench at this life with zeal

and eyes of steely determination.

The poem I want my loved one to hear

You are more radiant than the sun

my words lean upon

you like gravity pushes us down 

but in those sounds 

are the meanings that ground

my very existence 

and life

if anything relates to you 

it tends to send me into a dreaming state

Scheming late

to win you at all costs

in this game of life

which trees survive frosts 

to bear fruit 

like actions

you are more than a distraction 

you are my everything 

and yet I keep coming back

and I am taken

my heart is awakened not bored

I live aboard your wishes 

which dance like dandelion seeds 

on the wind 

I love you I love you I love you lots.

In the beginning there was Mind

In the beginning 

There’s was mind

then there were thoughts

written in time

We were twin flames 

I was your first word 

you are my soul 

I come from you

as we all do 

Soul spirit and happenings

became time

you Alice Sophia holiest of spirits

are my reason and rhyme

thoughts and souls entwined 

We are one torn in two

I love you more than you think I do

I want to take you home

where we can roam free

But the fire waits for you and me

One last test to be free…

Do you not know love?

The burning flames of sacrifice

the aching waking torment 

that grows ever more evident 

The pain of attraction that won’t relent 

her smiling eyes

used to be yours 

now whatever her flaws you can’t move on

the darkest night of the soul 

Burns in pain in an insane world 

the desperate search for water in the desert 

when dehydration kicks in

the way you sicken for one morsel of food

from a heavenly table

every bone aching to see her again

just to hear her words 

but the sky the birds are bereft

she has left

and stolen your love as well

in this hell which could have been heaven 

but the hours too late 

it’s way past 11

and all you have is a voice in your head 

is it her’s?

But it purrs like love and hate

and there’s no solace in waiting 

hating,

the space between our worlds 

which barely touched and existed.
