HearT ShapeD BubbleS

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

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.

Knock on the Door, Poetry by Pamela Cotter

Knock on the door

Not going to answer it this time

It’s a tap in my life

Help to make the days go by

Genre: Rhyme, Relationship, People

Knock on the Door
by Pamela Cotter

Knock on the door

Not going to answer it this time

It’s a tap in my life

Help to make the days go by

It comes on again

Like a winter storm holding my hand

Its hot like a knife

But would cut you deep inside

You walk away

But the pull closes you in

You need to stay behind.. the curtains again…

It’s a knock the door

It s a knock from the past

You walk away and sigh..

Not this time..not ever this way

Then, with a rush.. a sensation combs your veins

It climbs inside your blood and washes through

It whispers yess. U need it again

It whispers yess.. put on that black..again

Knock on the floor

Your souls meet face to face

It doesn’t disappoint, you history plays again

This time its going to last

As you climb your next hill

This time it will be

As if u never said… I do.

Genre: Life/Addiction

Voice of Addiction
by Chantelle Cherie Cox

Well, it’s nice to finally meet you.
I’ve been waiting for your call.
I’ve noticed youve been crying,
and ive watched you pace the halls

Whatever has been hurting you, I can make it disappear.
You know you have nothing to lose, nothing to live for,
nothing to fear.

Thank you, for your invention. I’ll be sure not to leave your side. Well become very fast acquainted. My naive child, theres no use trying to hide.

I should probably introduce myself. I am your very own addiction. But, you can not be angry with me. I am your own self-conviction.

I bet you feel rather stupid, falling right into my lap. I’m a master at manipulation. Youll never escape my trap. How does it feel to dance with the devil? For he and I are one in the same. God, has…
