Jewels of Awe is filled with poetry from inspirational to heartbreaking to fallling in love to contemplating life. It is filled with jewels.

Forward



I began writing poetry at the age of 12. I did
not know it would aid me in discovering a new
intimacy with my own spirit, teaching me about
love and revealing to me who I am on the path
of knowing thyself.



Meditation further aided me in this process
which took me to the depths of my own
shadow and back again into my light with a
newfound sense of peace and a wisdom I
would have not had otherwise.



I believe that all that has been my life, all the
heartache, the love I have known has been the
path I was meant to go down to learn about
myself. You cannot truly know another unless
you know yourself. Though not an easy
journey, I am grateful for the destination I have
now arrived at.




Keep knocking, and the joy inside will
eventually open a window and look to see
who's there.

Pure as a Rose

The room was filled

With flowers

All I could see was you

There amongst

The lilies and dandelions

You stood out

Pure as a rose

Claiming my heart

Pieces

Why does the sun
Seem so silent today
An ancient bird remains
Trying to flutter her wings
Shattered clocks
The walls moan in pain
In the pit of my stomach
Lies all I do not say

I fear speaking
Yet die in silence
Anyway

Broken pieces
Scatter with the wind
While I watch
In the stillness
Of my heart

That still calls
Out your name
And tells me
That
I love you
Just the same

September

Tonight
You come
Full of kisses
A smile painted
On your face
Laughing
Singing
Happy
Open-hearted
My heart sings
To the sea
The songbird's majesty

Happiness
I love you
Lying here next to me

Outside
The sun had set
Inside
With you
The sun still
Danced
Across the sky

We Dance

We stand up
And embrace
We dance
To a song
Only we can hear
The music
In our hearts

A lover's tune

Across the Flame

Sparing nothing
But nickels
In the chance that lofty thought
Remain unhinged
And quietly
Though unspoken
Altered arrows
Through the flesh
Wounding even you
Specks of dust
On quiet nights like these
I took down
The pictures
Melted frames into pieces
And waltzed across the flame
Of hunger
Eaten by tender flesh
And reduced to
Utter irony

I spent the day regressed

Upon My Soul

On ground of sacred Earth

The ringing of bells

Can be heard

Calling us to remember

A truth veiled lightly

In a blanket of forgetfulness

I'll find me there

Where angel's songs

Upon my ears

Do greet the morning sun

And in the cracks

My worthiness

I left unkempt

In a long forgotten place

Sullen

The road more frequently traveled

When joy forgot her face

The child inside

A voice so long unheard

Safely tucked into the womb

Of love's sweet arms

Woven of all that glitters

Eons's Path

The tatterings of the orange blossom

In full bloom

Catching the flow

Of the mountains ascension

The darkness descends

Crossing aeon's path

To the witched mountain

Where ablaze they stand

Gowned in white

Their hands of light

With a vivid view

Eyes wide open

Eyes brand new

Here, I will sing

Here, I will look at you

In the fire of my soul

The dancing flame

No sword in my hand

Just a heart where I stand

No armor to bare

Nakedly aware

My soul it is I share

My soul it is I bare

Whence upon I followed

The Christed form

With Devoted Hands

With Devoted Hands

With devoted hands
I take you
Into my arms
And gently
I fall into you
Your solid embrace
Your soothing touch
How you own me

The sky is a smile sweet
Where I belong to you
And you belong to me

Time is an arrow
That claims me
Eyes of a sparrow
That name me
Love of your hands
That quietly tame me

With devoted hands

Wings

Light
And it's depth
Of endless treasures
Life
Blossoming
With it's many layers
Of wings
That call to me
take flight
take flight

We Meet

I get carried away
By your lantern burning bright
By your kisses fancy flight
The night holds the air
And stirs the blood
The gaze below me
Wildly beats
I rise
You fly
We meet
Where are my feet?
Every time I see you
They think
That they have wings
Your palms open wide
For I
I climb inside
Lit by the candle's light
As beside, you lie
I rise
You fly
We meet
