I Am

I am who I am and I don't want to change

My life is mine only to fix and arrange

In colors and covenants; in music and hues

Within me lies power I will not abuse

I know that to others I don't make much sense

They're not used to someone who has no pretense

But if you'll feel me, if you'll hear my word

I think that you'll realize - I'm not that absurd

I mean what I say, and I say what I mean

And I'll be the soft place on which you can lean

But do not mistake me for timid or weak

For you'll hear a Goddess when I choose to speak. 

And So She Was

Once upon a time
There was a girl

Not just any girl...
And yet she was

Broken and shattered
And resilient, fortified

She was... Everything
...but thought she was nothing

And so she was.

A boy found her,
Loved her,
And she loved him
And so they Lived

Together in one,
Yet separates entirely,
their love bloomed
Their life blossomed
And they were...
Happy.

Love's Path

Those who do not understand
With hearts in bars and heads in sand
Will tell you Love's means to an end
And that Heart's a fickle friend

"It will lead you," they will say
- with good intentions - "far astray
"To hell and shadows, oft combined
"It's better yet to lean on Mind."

They'll warn you, "tread most cautiously
"And when you love, love logically
"For if you don't, you'll soon regret
"The path you chose - yes every step."

Though their heedings I ignore
Even as they beg, implore,
For me to follow what they do
I've found that something does ring true

Whether peace or hell it's earning
Heart does want for what it's yearning
But when it's Love that leads the way
I've found it never leads astray

No, contrary to belief
It's Love's path that brings relief
And even when dark comes along
It's just the night before the dawn

Yet if you push through to the end
You'll find you have in Heart a friend
So keep the faith, in Love abide
And Happiness won't leave your side
