Odes to the Gamers I Know

"Sheperdd"

Cardboard Assassin

you lay down a Ring of Frost

Blast'em little Mage

"Krixuss"

Holy Radiance

gleams off God-plated armor

a Beacon of Light

"Felias"

Dropping your totems

you control the elements

strut your stuff space goat

"Carsson"

Slip into shadows

prepare to Backstab the boss

waiting for a res

"Vaida"

Always Muttering

for we are being damn fools

Grumbling monster

Haiku for Gamers

"Dragon Age"

The Blight has ended

I have slain the Archdemon

Queen of Ferelden

"Mass Effect"

Mass Relay travel

The Normandy is my home

Commander Shepard

"Halo"

A lone Spartan stands

Frag Grenade has just been thrown

Die Covenant scum

"World of Warcraft"

World filled with monsters

Of which we are unafraid

Warcraft flows within

Through the Fog

Wakefulness is peace
I close my eyes and fight through the fog
Chaos surrounds my soul and war rips at my heart
My dreams bring no relief, no serenity and no soothing balm for my scarred mind
They are only dark reminders of all that I am and hateful warnings of what lies ahead
I open my eyes and find my peace but it is only the calm before the storm.

(written as an intro to a story for a very creative friend of mine ....thank you so much for letting my work be a part of yours :) )

Colorado Love (For Selena and Miah)

When you speak to me I hear the singing of birds

When you dance with me I feel the swaying of trees

When you hold my hand I am engulfed by the warmth of the earth

When you smile I am dazzled by the brillance of the sun

When you kiss me I am consumed by the fluttering of butterflies

Your love just comes naturally.

Babies

Little fingers, little toes

little head and little nose

little hands and little feet

little smile with little teeth

little girl who runs and plays

growing bigger everyday

half your dad and half your mother

and loved unlike any other

a special gift from up above

to be showered with hope and love

though the sun may not always shine

from now til the end you will always be mine

More Haikus

Imagination
anything is possible
Creating your dreams

Leaves fall all around

Spring has packed it's bags and left

Winter has arrived

a la Beatles - a work in progress

Dear Prudence
baby your a rich man who can't buy me love because you never give me your money and your mother should know that happiness is a warm gun. norwegian wood lines the floor of blue jay way and while my guitar gently weeps day trippers come together and go nowhere man
baby you can drive my car down pennylane where everybody's got something to hide except me and my monkey
Maxwell's Silver Hammer is fixing a hole for Mr. Moonlight, the Sun King, since he's Mother Nature's Son.
Do you want to know a secret? On this Magical Mystery tour you can ask me why, any time at all. because something that means a lot for no one is a glass onion in an octopus's garden.

To My Beloved

together in the vast depths of forever
your touch is a whisper of the magnificent
your embrace fans the flames of the divine which feeds my hungry soul
your love sustains my heart & cushion the bruises from the world
in your eyes i can see love, in your arms i am consumed by it
you are the blood in my veins & the voice of my soul
the light that chases away the darkness of the world
my everything

Given Path

In a sea of people I stand alone.
There are millions of bodies but no one is by my side.
Entangled in arms but none hold me.
Beloved by all yet never feel the warmth from the love of another.
Such is the path I was given.
I am cold.
I am lonely.
I am Savior.

My Desire

My desire is to caress the skin that covers you, place my mark on all that you are, embrace the warmth of your essence, take you in and blur the lines that defines us, ride the waves in an ocean of pleasure, gaze upon your soul with my name on your lips, lose myself over you and under you, be as at home in your heart as you are in mine.
My desire is your love.

In Progress

(this piece is still under construction...but this is what I have so far)

Protect my companion for they are my soul

the darkness of night that eases the whole

a voice that is strong through the silence of fear

comfort which believes and denies all the tears

Illusion

She was an angel come after her passion

a paragon of beauty seen through the shroud

his aesthetic that never would be free

a shadow on a vacant canvas

GoddessProject

(this one is for my friend Christy who is a complex balance and i'm glad that I'm her friend)

~A Balance~

Be still the light that moves through my soul
or you may burn away my darker depths
the night which holds the stars enthralled
needs only your reflection

Be still the darkness that creeps through my heart
for you may smother my fiery light
and force that which should be cherished
to fade again to embers

RICKisBOSS

(The following is a haiku that I wrote for one of my fellow forum members who has managed to fan the flames of creativity that I had let fade to embers...Thank you)

RICK inspires me
is creative and with a
BOSS-like rep he styles.

Sustain

Sleep to Dream

Dream to Believe

Believe to Achieve

Achieve to Continue

Continue to Thrive

Haikus for Kristi

"It's All About the O"

Louder my voice soars

Feeling pleasure's ebb & flow

Release, I shatter

"Microbrew"

Head of frothy joy

Savoring the taste of hops

Ambrosia for Man

"New Day"

Setting moon, sun rises

beginning of the journey

but end of the dream

(My submissions to her myspace bulletin request for haikus)

Writing

Imagination strokes through ink like water
& smears the miasma of an empty silhouette
the movement captures an old song
sung with new passion
the masterpiece of creation

Eclipse

My senses flare to life

Contact

Shocking at first

I stiffen

You caress and entangle

I melt

Emotions long-forgotten & undiscovered

Passion surfaces

Sensation of skin against skin

Tantalizing

Our breaths mingle

Intoxicating

A ball of heat forms

Craving

You give unconditionally

Selfish

You take endlessly

Mindless

I absorb your strength

Shaken

You bask in my warmth

Sinful

We ebb & flow

Together

Touching & understanding

Whispers

The moment comes to an end

Eyes locking

Magnitude felt is shared

Breathe

Love expressed

A Kiss

(the title was chosen because ecstacy eclipses reality)

Random Poetry

Wind whispers through eternity

Death recalls the light

The visionless see the goddess

Her music is the passing of time

Symphony of language

Beneath a forest of moments

I live in a flood of you
