Universe ever expanding

Universe ever expanding
horizons still in sight
your dreams -
tangible -
vivid colors -
remembered with dawn
& tasted on your awakened tongue

each heartbeat puts you present
in your skin-

each breath alive in the moment-
with joyous anticipation you embrace
the winds of change

as they lick the back of your neck
sending shivers down your spine
rebirthing your spirit-
your soul-

i see the youthful wonderment
in your eyes-

For Years You Have Travelled

For years you have travelled
musk mixing with loam
obscured
shadow stalking
the edges
of my mind.
Bask in the heat
of exposure
naked skin
sings in the sun.
Berries are ripe
& ready to harvest
rejoice
as sweet juices
kiss your chin.
Slumber safely
embraced by wild flowerings
breathe-
slow-
long-
inhaling the blossoms nectar.
Suckle
the buzzing hive
savor
the gift of honey
caressing your tongue.
Dive to the depths
& drink deeply
from the clear pools
of my eyes-
your reflection
mirrored
dances across the surface
of my soul.
Come!
Claim your deed.
Climb the canopies of my longing
& experience
the acreage of my heart.

Buried Alive

Taking the time
to find the motherless child
who ran away
so very long ago-

buried alive
the goddess within
scratches
& pounds
with knuckles
bloody
& raw
on the barred door
of my being

soul
dehydrated
split
& cracked
longing for the swollen teat
of my warrior woman
so
that i may drink
of her courage
& find my feet
to run
through the woods
wild
howling
drying my wings
so that i may leap
from the cliffs
soaring
courageous
through the darkness
to welcome
the dawn
of my rebirth

Tempest

there's a storm
stirring in my soul
clouds are forming
beneath my eyelids

the tempest tempts

perhaps I'll give in
stop swimming
let the dark currents
pull me under
so I can finally sleep

Shredded

shredded
from the knowledge
that no one
wants
me
enough
   to be present
fully
    in my life

false words
empty promises

always that convenient
      bench
   to sit on
         momentarily
      & then be gone

a tree giving
   uprooted
  in life's storm

Crimson Warning

i scream & scream & scream
but you never hear me-
no one ever hears me
i'm shattered
the shards of my heart
tear the foot's flesh
& i leave bloody prints
along the way
a crimson warning
to those too weak
to traverse
the path of longing

Your River

Your River ran by me

Filling- spilling the floodgate

Diving with abandonment-

I drown in the ecstatic waves of possibilities.

Your River ran over me

& I let go

Divinely currented by Your Love

I am one with the Waters of Creation

Mere rocks cannot stop the flow of Spirit.

Your River runs through me

Washing the locust years away-

Midnight expunged

I dance with the Invisible.

Your River runs As Me

& as drunken Majun

I whirl dervishly in Your Light.

The Gardener

Fertile and rich

You have been my Soil

Feeding my gentle seed

Nurturing growth.

You have been my Water

My Wellspring

& I suckled there

Always thirsty.

You have been my Sun

Fountain of Light

I reached towards You

You sprang my growth towards the Stars

Feeding my Longing to couple with the Heavens.

You have been the Gardener of my Soul

Weeding the choking’s of ego

Freeing me to expand my Roots

To the absolute depths of my being

Moving through the darkness to find my Strength

My Grounding.

Now You have given me the greatest gift of all

For now You are my Wind

Moving through me

Beyond this meager shell

Scattering my ripened seeds to the world

Releasing me.

Mongolian Queen

Mongolian queen
covered in skins
rides
thighs wrapped tight
around her chosen warrior.

One with their horse
they travel
through days
full moon thunderstorms
butterfly mountains-

till he gives her the seventh rainbow
& pink rain
falls on purple mountains.

& he takes her
wind tangled
horse numb
to his arms
to his bed
to their dreams
Home

Your Gaze

Your gaze

sparked

the tender tinder

of my heart

setting it ablaze.

Touch

Igniting skin.

Breath on my neck

fans the flames

feeds the fire

Broken pieces

of me

held

in your arms

a foundry

making me molten

The artist

of my freedom

hammering

pounding

me

again and again

until I am whole

beneath your hands

You Saturate

You saturate my senses

Your skin’s scent

breath’s song

life’s heat

Your salt lines my lips…

Eyes closed

thousands of miles away

touching the memory of your smile

and my heart explodes

with the light of you

I face the darkness

alone

peaceful

unafraid

The Heavens

The Heavens

once torn apart

& mended upon our meeting
feel the strains of stitches
as the distance weighs

My Soul screams your name
& the echo
swims in tears

Blood of My Heart

You are

the blood of my Heart

Yet

You have found a way

To haunt

my flesh

-elizabeth weber

I Am On My Way to You

I am on my way to you

& I am in the clouds

I see them with my eyes

feel them in my soul

You are my grounding

my earth

& I can barely contain my laughter

as I think about

waking up in the morning

with the scent of you

buried beneath my nails

-elizabeth weber

nestled in your arms

nestled in your arms

breath mixing with musk of skin

rhythmic lullaby of heart

serenades my soul

riding the gentle swell of breathing

in the darkness of sleep

i reach for you

and in the freedom of dreams

you are always there

-elizabeth weber

Drunk in Your Forest

Having drunk deeply

of your heady musk

I lay intoxicated in your forest

With the boughs of your being

encircling my existence

I watch the sunlight flickering

across my eyelids

as the leaves of your soul

dance

on the breeze of your breathing

Slipping under the spell of sleep’s seduction

I feel drops of your dew

gently

drip

from my warm

soft

petals

-elizabeth weber

in the freedom of dreams

nestled in your arms

breath mixing with musk of skin

rhythmic lullaby of heart

serenades my soul

riding the gentle swell of breathing

in the darkness of sleep

i reach for you

and in the freedom of dreams

you are always there
