Pieces on this Page
Notes: This piece was written after concentrating on a magickal ability known as automatic writing. This is when, you put your thoughts on paper and literally let it go. Your hand writes before you know what you are going to write. My best work has always come from this method, and I hope you enjoy this piece.
"My Reflection"
Standing in front of the Mirror, from
the outside looking within
Searching the eyes staring back at me
Questioning the looks they're giving me
Reaching up my hands touching them to
the mirror
Momentarily, flesh melds with glass
and I am pulled within
Now I roam freely with this reflection
in the mirror
Throught the lands of fantasy, hopes
and dreams
I do not look back at the world
I left behind
I only look forward to what lies
before us
Stopping the vast openess
laying down to watch the sky
I see the lightening streaking through
and yet I feel no raindrops
The sun begins to set in the land of
dreamers
And I continue to roam, my reflection
at my side
We walk this land, side by side
hand in hand, our hearts guide us
There is little need for speaking
We can read each other's minds
The hours fly so quickly in this
land, and yet I feel no hunger
I feel thirst but it is quenched
We stop to rest
Laying in the openess, in one another's arms
Staring up at the sky, it's star-lit eyes
shine back down and peace reigns
We close our eyes lost in time
Our bodies seemingly melt together
Our spirits are intwined
Lost in this realm that is only us
never desiring to return
Then slowly the sun peaks over the horizon
It is at this time we both know
I must make my return
I must return, to my side of the mirror
Sadly, we walk back the way we came
still side by side, still hand in hand
Still, no words passing between us
only the saddened eyes speak volumes
When we finally reach the mirror
we stand and face each other
our eyes are locked, all speaking
goes through them
We embrace, a tender passionate
warm and loving embrace
the embrace too, like our eyes
speaks volumes
Our souls have intwined once more
Our bodies have melted together
We stand, lost in the sands of time
Until we know, the time has come
We release each other reluctanlty
a look of sadness evident once again
both of our faces, masks of pain
with heavy hearts, we must part
We bid each other farewell
the only word spoken, a lingering kiss
summing up the rest
and we gaze at one another
we are lost in each other
saddened but joyous
lonely but hopeful
forever dreamers and wishmakers
I slowly turn, reaching out
my hands grasping the mirror
as I did before and so
I have returned
I look back at my reflection
saddened by their look
I reach out my hands
but now, I feel only glass
I continue to stand, searching
wondering, wishing, hoping
slowly the reflection begins to fade
and my own eyes stare back at me
I slowly walk away, knowing
full well, that I shall return
and when I do, I shall see you there
my reflection in the mirror.

The Hourglass of Life
lost dreams, broken hearts, fading, undiying wishes
all grains of sand in the hourglass
missed opportunities, distant goals, roads untravelled
all grains of sand in the hourglass
good bye sweet love, farewell my fondest friend, for you are now
all grains of sand in the hourglass
grains of sand in the hourglass, slipping through, piling up
look at the growing mound in the bottom
look at the diminishing grains in the top
grains of sand in the hourglass
sweetest memories, first loves, first kisses
all grains of sand in the hourglass
the last dance, goals achieeved, the birth of your first child
all grains of sand in the hourglass
your first movie, that greates work---finished, graduation
all grains of sand in the hourglass
your wedding day, that winning proposal, your promotion
all grains of sand in the hourglass
grains of sand in the hourglass, slipping through, piling up
look at the growing mound in the bottom
look at the diminishing grains in the top
grains of sand in the hourglass
unsung songs, unfinished books, scripts left untouched
all grains of sand in the hourglass
melodies without harmony, songs without lyrics
all grains of sand in the hourglass
sunrises and sunsets, unwatched
all grains of sand in the hourglass
grains of sand in the hourglass, slipping through, piling up
look at the growing mound in the bottom
look at the diminishing pile in the top
grains of sand in the hourglass
the first time you had sex
all grains of sand in the hourglass
your 16th birthday
all grains of sand in the hourglass
your first day of high school
the first time you were ever away from the security and comfort of your mother
all grains of sand in the hourglass
like tears washed away in the rain, like an echo in Grand Canyon, like sand in the desert
all of these memories, these cherished moments,
the heartaches, the pain, the depression, the endless streams of tears
the love, the hate, the light and the dark
all grains of sand in the hourglass of life
