I fall, 
like a leaf
lightly drifting in the wind.
I fall, 
like a meteorite
creating craters.
I fall, 
like heavy rain
drenching worlds.
I fall, 
like volcano ash;
gently covering everything.
I fall, 
heart wide open...
is yours?

The face that you see...
is determined as much by you, 
as by what lives in me.
What you project
and what I hide - 
create the veils
behind which I abide...

The storm was mighty, big and blustery
fueled by turmoil, shame and fear.
The violent vortex at its centre
devoured all that came too near.
It raged, it howled, it felt almighty,
everything within its grasp;
but stepping back, it found, alas - 
the storm was only in a glass.

I don't mind at all.
Sometimes my mind thinks I do,
but my heart says no.
So,
I mind my heart,
and tell my mind
to mind it's own business.
Mind you....
Sometimes they are of one mind - 
that's an art.

When souls conform
they slice a heel and chop a toes,
themselves deform,
to fit inside a norm.
Their cage can become
so comfortable
they cannot see its bars;
and only in the dark,
in their secret heart,
dare they dream of stars.

He wears himself
like a costume -
lightly and with no depth.
Shifting between personas and faces
to please the world he inherited.
Once in a while the facade breaks
and cracks show a bleeding heart.

Love;
a verb, a noun,
a proclamation,
a presence.
A creative act, 
a celebration -
that gives life
its very essence.
