Drink Deeply [of me])

Farewell (for now)

always too soon, even when right
time runs out despite our best denial
amidst feeling cheated, reason unable to reign
made incomplete by loss yet more complete for knowing her

this poem, written as I dealt w/the loss overnight, was used beautifully by my Hunny.. “Blessed“

It’s Rayning Ken

Nowhere have I found such genuine & immediate friendship as at Cult Vault. Given the myriad marvelous people therein, these two haiku are but the beginning yet their subjects earned every syllable. Ken — aka Soul Man — sent RhodesTer & I goodies from that yet unvisited city that’s nonetheless home to part of my soul, New Orleans, then Rayne — CV’s founder — had a birthday shortly thereafter..

[for Ken]

reaching soul to soul

thru coffee, culture, world views

love experienced

[for Rayne]

cloudbursts envelop

gathering storms, flooding love

our refreshing Rayne

My Companion

coffeesister — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 20:27:26 +0000

Far from loved but neither hated
Uninvited yet always present
Undeserved is only a concept
Life deals in balance not fairness

Inescapable thus simply endured
Active evasion left too much lost
Actual participation ever a must
Fate played this hand regardless

More damage done when avoided
Even when no cause, an effect
Every experience now suspect
Destiny is possibility not progress

Although affected, never defined
Imposed limitations fight intent
Impacted by pain but persistent
Karma offers enough over excess

Cult of Connection

coffeesister — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:31:50 +0000

from words we weave
our tête-à-tête tapestry
as music melds us amidst
the proffered prose & poems

randomly relating
thru coveted candor
encouraged expression
and intersecting intentions

in the acceptance of artistry
a foundation of friendship’s born
souls soar when hearts hold love lent
the cult of connection is complete.. as are we

Me pirate name is:
Captain Morgan Flint

Even though there’s no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you’re the one in charge. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

The Dance of Expression

coffeesister — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:46:19 +0000

As a candle’s light dances against darkness, my actions play upon the image I portray.
Choreographed by circumstance, purpose provides the wick.
The shape of my character is the sculpted wax, fostering the flame.
Rising above reaction, I become an inextinguishable candle.
Self is the shadow expression illuminates.

Rebirth

coffeesister — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 05:14:21 +0000

Twenty-two years ago tonight
Cosmos glimpsed beside a bonfire
A decision made, never to be undone
Change does come with time.. or should
Shifts & nuances pass as conclusions remain
Doubt everything, trust no-one yet truth’s salient
Hesitance set aside that night on the beach
Life not only claimed but purposefully
Each choice unique to the maker
Free to explore once grounded
Seeing beyond myself; open
Possibilities lead full circle
Chaos that lends control

Waiting is..

“As with all nature, we must evolve or stagnate.
Evolution is but the ebb & flow of change.
The give & take of growth is not part for part.
We cannot trade ourselves in without denying who we are.
All that we ever are forms the foundation for who we will be.
Becoming is a journey born of natural selection.”

A Deeper Shade of Dorian

Welcome! I’ve been blogging on & off for years. My wordpress.org blog @ coffeesister.net is the culmination of that. There, I’m sharing what I’ve learned, my experiences & those I love with the intention of helping for I believe that’s why we’re here — we’ve all been lent to each other. Here, I share me. Do enjoy & please drink deeply of both (that we may grok).
