a monthly poetry blog

Poetry

Wonderfully weird and entirely visceral, poetry is my passion. I write as often as I can (usually monthly), taking local classes and honing my craft.

the mantra

The magical, the strange
The energy spinning round your heart
Give me the sight to see
The unseen of everything

The beautiful, the hidden
The light glinting in peripheral vision
Lend me the intuition
To gaze on what I've been missing

The fulfillment, the bliss
The warmth spreading from limb to limb
Give me the determination
To feel what I've denied for so long

The grace, the confidence
The belief in the fullness of the self
Uncover the vulnerable
To fly the farthest reaches of the spectrum
