Elisa Maria Argiro

You were young enough, and precious enough,

To get away with it.

I might not get away with it, but

I’m going to hide my shoes anyway.

So that I never have to leave the home

I have found in your heart,

my dear new, and ancient, friend.

HAZY MOON DREAMS

girl dressed in a lapping
blue-waters gown
stands in a nest
of long-legged storks
remembering a moon
just exactly like this
in a hazy light just before
the dark garments of dawn are torn
is he looking out
over the water's edge
thinking about her
as she is thinking of him?
keep dreaming, the water says
as the dish runs away
with the baby's spoon
and speaks kindly of dreams spun

Whisper Yes

Evening Sun

She sits on a stool in the kitchen
The last of the evening sun caressing her face

She spent the last 2 hours dancing
Her body being moved by the music
Freedom flowing through her veins

She couldn't talk that day
All she could do was allow her body its voice
Trusting it to show her the way

She lit 4 candles
One for each of them
Her mother
Her sister
Her grandmother
And her

Her body moving
Freeing each of them as she moved
Past present and future dancing
Secrets whispered and revealed through her body

Stellar Heart

By Arcassin Burnham

I've Loved You To Pieces.
Give Me Your Hand,I'll Take That.
Kisses & Hugs Made For You.
I Loved You since the beginning..
If I let you drive my car love would you bring
it back?
If I let you stay in my house, would we get attached?
What kind of questions are these?
I would question that,
What kind of message you sending to me,
girl that's a wrap,
If I let you meet grandma would you be good to her?
If I said I wanted you , tell me that we'll make
It work,
I contradict myself, because I know I want you,
I don't wanna be your hurt or a painful view...
I've Loved You To Pieces.
Give Me Your Hand,I'll Take That.
Kisses & Hugs Made For You.
I Loved You since the beginning..
