Roman Walls, Museum of the History of Barcelona, Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

Bricks & Mortar

For every wall I have built
For every rampart erected
To protect my being
I have also opened my heart
I have also bared my soul

After so many bricks
And so much mortar
I am beginning to understand
Which is the stronger gesture
Which offers the greatest protection

The Light Plays a Song

The light plays a song
For my heart
While my soul
Dances

Pendant Gem

In the darkness
And the light
In the vibrant coloured
Sunlit rays
The moody greys
Of cloudy days

You my pendant gem
Lay close
Upon my heart
Reminder of
The subtler art

Of love which is
The beauty known
Regardless of
What eyes can see

It sings to me
In silent depths
Awakens dreams

Within memories
Of possibility

An ever-present peace

The Dreaming

Light and colour dreaming
Resplendent core
Emboldened heart
Beyond these dreams, I soar

Finding the Steel

Beaten
Crushed
Defeated

I find the steel
Within
To go on

The Most Powerful Love

I try to imagine
Something more powerful
Than the beauty of you
More magnetic
Than the light of your being
Something which could draw me in
With such inescapable gravity
As the love I’ve discovered
At the center of your heart

Nothing comes to mind

Black and White Tusk

Oh, this once molten heart
Heat like the sun
Once burned within

Now hardened black
In icy shroud

Ironic white

Ian and Josephine, beautiful sounds, North Vancouver,

In the flow

Heart, mind, body and soul
Four independent currents

Perhaps enlightenment
is the condition
when all four
flow together as one

Heart ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #87

I make no room
In my heart
For hate

Swagger

Swagger
Chutzpah
Presence

A small man
Of no small mass

A big heart
A wise soul
Both worn
Close to the surface
