a night of poems & black wings

seeds of creativity~

Themes of transformation & transiting through cycles of life, breath, death & healing seem to seep into my work. Nature, magic, creation & the ever-morphing seasons are a constant guiding force & inspiration.

Forever wild and free



🌿
F o r e v e r

🌿

Near the tiny row of ghost-flowers
a cricket perches its wistful-song as an offering
a ruby moth hovers by my pale neck
adorning me with forest-incense
I sit with sword & amulet by my heart, waiting
as a velvet-blood-sunset lights the tangled land

there are bonfires in the distance
but I remain low to the ground
reading the moss, bark and stone
for hidden language
searching from half-deep sleep
and visions to render my hovering mind
I dream alone~ questing within.
The night is shaking down
the dark womb of trees~their wavering leaves
 to answer me

a single breath emits
a dripping moon
transiting over my soul's bones
and leaving me open
for the young wolves to take
they gently eat my wounds
and make me new again.

the morning crashes in
  a kingdom of starlings
and I awaken with the scent of the amber sun
and the taste of dragons falling off my tongue
the flesh of me glistens like light underwater
and I know I am different somehow
for falling
feels like flying
and I cannot stop my dreaming eyes
from wandering off the seams
of death and life

I am feasting on the beauty
of jeweled earth and wet bark
and the green-lace of summer leaves
shimmering high above
I climb, they are calling me
I keep climbing towards the voices
until I feel the forest and flesh
slip away from me
and I know only
feathers and air
a gust of breath
  and I become One
with the wind's sacred embrace
I am forever wild
 and
I am
free.

My dearest Victoria, thanks so much for taking image and word and shaping them into heart-song our eyes can dance to. I delight in how you can translate love and Nature, how you've pressed your soul's ear to a piece, heard its chant and then showed us what it does for you (what it can do for us). I love what it means...

This will keep me a smiling for days and days and days... A poem is a gift of wonder, one that never stops giving itself, growing the love the feeds it...

Many hugs and a wild circle of 13 kisses. :-)

This is marvelously lush. I feel as I could step into your poem and drink in the enchantment first hand. It feels like it belongs not just on a prominent spot in a Book of Shadows, but embroidered on every witchy heart.

Creative Encounters & Kindred Spirits

I love to meet and connect with fellow creatives! I have a deep appreciation for all artists, creative thinkers, unique souls.
While my nature is mostly introverted and I thrive as a hidden -solitaire, I have found connecting with other creative-spirits to be profoundly nourishing and deeply magical in ways my soul understands. To those I have met along the way that have enriched my life with your art-music-writing-creations-passion-energy-open-mindedness....I thank you immeasurably ! and to those I have reconnected with..thank you for giving me a sense of community in a world I always felt on my own in. Thank you for these creative encounters, they have transformed me.
