HearT ShapeD BubbleS

by hillary bryan

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Musical sun drops

Deliriously lovely, lovely spoken notions potions & thoughts

Our hearts joined the spirit of the earth

With the key to the sky

Ask the answer to the riddle

There’ll be no reply

None could come in the form of word

“It” is too vast in simplicity to try

Mystical Fun Spots

Mysteriously intriguing light year highways

I gotta heart shaped bubble machine with phantom power

Spluttering rainbow dreams

Floating on the breeze down your street, into your window

And landing on your nose with a “plop”

Just before you catch sight of yourself in it

Learning to live life with the lights on

Grounded from below just as above

Heaven on earth happens inside me

Delightful to be totally free

Pilot of your own heart

Through the creative hit restart

Don’t think

Feel Again – FEEL again

Capable of divinity

Sold on mediocrity

Sleepwalkers mistake mud in the eye for the landscape

We far from powerless have allowed ourselves to be bound

Mistaking victimization for a crown

Let us throw off these heavy cloaks of self loathing

We have been convinced life is an eternal winter

And we need the illusions of earth for warmth

When a raging fire burns from within

Here and now sending my life pulse out to you

It is the same beat as your breath

My intentions rise and fall with the rhythm of your chest

We’re already holding hands you and I

Even though I am over the rainbow and through the sky

In this dream of a dream I know you are near

I give you my heart

Yet lose nothing but fear

Stepping up into a new level of love

The rooftop blows off from above

There are worlds within one breath

This is not about me

This is about you

Your heart, and opening it

Without ever having touched

I have known you more intimately than a lover

Our ecstasy not confined in bodies

You have played my soul like music with your words

Shivers and goose bumps visit me as I feel your thoughts

And your perspective intertwines with mine

I am lost in deciphering their differences

I go home with a piece of you today

Our energies altered, connected, grown

~ written by the selectress,

hillary bryan

ONLY A MATTER OF TIME, Poetry by Coni Koepfinger

On Sunday we spoke
A few words, loving yet not a lot
On Monday we spoke
She was hopeful to move
Out of that sad situation
I was eager to help her be free again

Genre: Relationship, Love, Romance

ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
by Coni Koepfinger

On Sunday we spoke
A few words, loving yet not a lot
On Monday we spoke
She was hopeful to move
Out of that sad situation
I was eager to help her be free again
On Tuesday there was no more time
To say anything more
To plan anything
To get a bed or to pack
Dreams, new dreams gone.
Just gone.
We were so hopeful.
At last, after seven years, free.
If only we could see
The time vanishing
Right before our eyes
If only we could hear
It all winding down
In the human heart
Those slow burning embers
Of human desperation
Sizzling out to ash
Why is it always too late
To late to take out the trash
And to let the other love you
It’s always a matter of time
Isn’t it?
A matter of time.
Yet what is time?
And why am I still surprised
By my ignorance
By my arrogance
Why do we always want more time
Perhaps it’s ego
To want to know
To want to go back in time
To make the words all rhyme
To let our last words be loving ones
And to make more, just a little more time.

Paris – The Atrocity 13th November 2015, Poetry by Jane Gill-Wilson

Gunfire out of nowhere
Bullets ricochet,
Blood shed in the city
On another Parisian day.

Paris – The Atrocity
13th November 2015
by Jane Gill-Wilson

Gunfire out of nowhere
Bullets ricochet,
Blood shed in the city
On another Parisian day.
Eyes closed in anguish
As the shocking events unfold,
There is no rhyme or reason
As evil takes control.

Armed with Kalashnikov’s
On their killing spree,
Intent on ending life
As victims start to flee.
Mayhem in the city
Bodies on the ground,
Echoing explosion
Causing carnage all around.

The unfolding horror
An onslaught of war,
Is a crime against humanity
One the world abhors.
A nation now in mourning
Struggles to comprehend,
How lives were extinguished
Brought callously to an end.

Holding hands together
United we must stand,
To eradicate the evil
Infiltrating our land.
Drastic measures needed
As time is running out,
The future of our children
Should not be left in doubt.

Desire and being taken out of reality by that desire. Being utterly at one your lover.

Generally being creative – I write, sing, make jewellery, paint a little and play ukulele.
