Salt of My Earth

November 15, 2016 by Dale 1 Comment

I lay my heart deep in the earth formed in the hot press of your arms your tears the rivers of veins. I gush with your sadness but I am given life by your joy tasting life’s passions in each season. Trodden underfoot, a desert dies, seeking an oasis in a mirage of plenty a…

Beauty of Chaos

November 12, 2016 by Dale

The beauty of a moment Hurled into the promise of tomorrow A pool of water thrust into the sun Its stillness shattered by desire For stars cast upon a bright blue sky.
