Soul Purpose

the dreams we chase

place after elusive place

dwell inside, not outside

bless us with a state of grace

that our spirits may awaken

might this be...

our soul purpose

indispensable beauty

shape of your lips is magic

eyes, cerulean skies

bluer than the bluest blue

soul of my ocean meets your beach

curves and strands of virgin-white sands

poetess of enchantment

sun goddess spinning gold

an origami swan

watch facets of her unfold

essentially sensual flower

red-velvet petals of a rose

taken by summer wind

only to admire, not to hold

we are kindred, we are one

there are no miles

no space, no time

no geography

that interconnected poet's

cannot erase

no lines that separate

we share words and verbs and rhymes

we're more than serendipity

something beyond chosen

see, my poems found you

your creativity touched me

and now we

we dance, we sing, we play, we bring

the kind of love we all long to know

a natural, organic, bond

that exists in the now

no need for explanation

the specialness we share

an awesome cause for celebration

we go deeper than oceans

spirit riders surfing clouds

we are shooting stars

enchanting each other's eyes

All For You

watercolored, dreamy

beach sequences

paintbrush wishes

early morning drifting

my eyes, mesmerized

everyone adores sunrise

it's real, it's real, it's actual

factual, zero filters

god is an unrivaled artist

he loves and embraces

everybody, every hue

this one's, all for you

Poetry of Morning Light!

a taste of home

a touch of soul

sight of vibrant sea

feel light radiate heat

warm, what's inside of me

all we need to do is be,

CB

traveling, I'm traveling

at the insane speed

of life we're travelers

sojourners on deserted roads

fish out of water islands

to one another's hearts

it can be a lonely

path

not many notice or venture

too far before turning back

indeed its treasure finding

others along the way

traveling, I'm traveling

at the insane speed

of life we're travelers

sojourners on deserted roads

fish out of water islands

to one another's hearts

though we'll gather freely

arriving where we began

this lightening path isn't wide

enough to hold each other's hand

we greet and encourage then

continue on our wandering way

traveling, unraveling

gypsy carnival, fortune-tellers

sacred secrets kept

under glass

dreamers with a crystal ball

life is a fantastical, fairytale ride

until we're summoned to fall

we've nothing to hide

but deep inside we'll never

tell it all

This is our unexpected, serendipitous, first collaboration between @lostdog594 and myself, @followcb but it will not be our last;)

a poem is a call, a cry,

a hymn, a psalm, a song

the sound of a tree falling

in the silence of a unnoticed forest

the roar of a lion's warnings

a whisper, a murmur, an echo

an a cappella solo of a voice emerging

an empath, a fighter, a soldier

a warrior spirit baring light and truth

a poem is an act of bravery

words forged and formed courageously

fearlessness in the face of uncertainty

an anthem from a poet's heart

insistent, persistent, determined

deliberate, thunderous pounding

of a passionate drummer unleashed

emotional, emphatic, unrelenting

howl of a fierce wolf in the night

a poem is an alarm

ringing to wake us up

fall to the forest floor

where solitude and serenity

resonate so much more

amid deeply hued hillsides

carpeted with luscious trees

my soul plunges like waterfalls

such a rush sets my spirit free

to walk and climb and breathe

among such rich bounty

I am a haunter, a hunter

a wanderer, an explorer

unearthing life's peacefulness

new discoveries in shadowy woods

sun streams of light

cut darkness into rays and stripes

cavernous wilderness is ripe

teeming with every precious treasure

have to pinch myself

feels like an enchanted dream

rolling peaks dressed

in magical shades of green

deep inside these lush valleys

I build my beautiful nest, unseen

quiet place where I can rest

underneath this surreal canopy

you'll always find me

here on the forest floor

my sanctuary, secret place I adore

my nirvana, this private bliss
