Golden

Traveling back to youthful places
Peppermint showers and laying nude
on the Cliffside.
With a Choward's violet
between my teeth, I breathe
a freedom through my lungs.
The mountains call to me
as they do the scavenger birds.

I hunt for what is glittering
beneath the branches.

Amore Morir

Amore Morir

Caught an illusion underbreath

Thought it was a kiss

whispering through the mirrors of a kalidescope.

The eye hesitates

then paws away the conditions

leaving with innocent footsteps and

masking off the outer edges.

SJP 1989

Experiencing the Other Side

Let me take you on this journey
to where the flowers grow to be six feet high
and ring like wind chimes.
Their smell can make you drift off like a child into the atmosphere.

We will wander mountains full of giant gemstones
and return to marble walkways surrounded by alabaster.
With just a thought, your mind can turn a masterpiece.
It is needless to use ones hands here.

Your pet dog from childhood greats you
making eye contact filling you in on how much she always loved
you as and wags her tail in confirmation that you can understand her.
She always loved going on a good journey with you.

Open your mind to the possibility
Open the invisible doorway, unlocking, not only your dreams,
but your realities.
