                                         Winter Crystal 2011

                                                                              Jennifer H. Mcgee

                                                             You are

                                                    a winter crystal

                                                             Your love~

                                                        cold and frozen

                                                    my hardened heart

                                                      you still break~

                                                  



                                                In pieces I’m shattered

                                                  You still stand

                                                     an ice statue

                                                Bitter and unforgiving



                                                This love frosted

                                                In veils of discontent

                                                How do I break thee?



                                                     With  cloaks

                                                   Of the  master

                                                    I  Warm

                                                 the  children of

                                                       disaster

                                                   A small  

                                                   But certain chill

                                                   Still rings~

                                                   

                                                    It is then I am reminded                                                  

                                                    of the fierceness

                                                    Beneath  which I am Blinded

                                                     

                                                    your beauty

                                                    and careful design






My Heart Rains Colors
My heart rains colors of dark and glimmers
A small radiance of what remains
Of the day I knew you
A memory fleeting
The dream I can’t retain
 
 
A watercolor sky
From a storm’s blackened eye
For to catch the beauty
A fool 

Only I

 
Elusive~ disappearing
Colors escaping
To realms such unknown
The heart then doth become
Loves only fossil
The fragile fortune
Of one~

   An Exquisite poem~
     The words of a dear Wild hearted gypsy friend ~
          Sherry Sharp~

  Horizon Ride


I have a wild heart
And the untamed tongue of a poet
I’m a tree climber
A sightseer
I need the bird’s eye view
My wings chaotically tucked on most days
Only in the morning moment quiet
Aching hard to unfurl
I’ve turned myself inside out
Took a thousand years to come back to where I always stood
I only want to dab a kaleidoscope across my sky
Across yours
Gold dust it with my inner musings
Pluck yours out
One by one
Rub them tender against my cheek
Yes, I’m a wind-blown vibrant mess
A fiery love
A splash of molten trouble
Harmless though in my ways
I won’t be protected from the things I say
From the unbridling of all I am
Will you?
It has begun
The life that poems are made of
A million miles forward in the sun
Cling to me
Because I see you and because you know I do
Leave everything you are not behind
It’s just a nosedive
A wicked swoop up and out…
To a tempestuous, glorious, brilliant
In the moment
Horizon ride

    My Love~

      My love runs through~

      Like the blood of time
      Runs through the veins
      of the Master clock~
      Destiny prevails
      In this ageless tale
      And breathes the words
      Love is a rock~♥

Melodies from the Other Side


Intense silence as she walked in the room. Her black robes trailing. Sisters of the moon.
Stevie Nicks




She returns


like a divine spell
when summer is gold and


skies beam crescent silhouettes of
tipsy light and
cosmic flowers
in ripe devoted
rows


of a shining universe, in which
life finds purpose
and purpose
finds life




Shelly F. Gill
