Eloquent Liar

~ Candace ~ Leave a comment

she had a gift
that something special
all who heard her
speak believed
and seemed un-
able to think for
themselves
she was smooth like
polished copper
her smile was
genuine, her touch
warm and welcoming
oh, yes –
you were sure you
were her best friend
her confidante
she was the person-
ification of
mendaciloquent
I would have
fallen for her lies
too – if she were not
me
——

Just Jot It January 27th – mendaciloquent (quite a challenge!)

Just Dirt

~ Candace ~ 37 Comments

the dirt is not just
“dirt”
it is alive, striving,

to stay neutral
it is the magic
elixir, fixer

of plant life
and so ours too
it is dark,

dank, a bank
of crumbly gold
we make withdrawals

without checking
the balance
it is clay

and sandy
loam
we walk all over it

just taking it
for granted
supplanted

Oneness

~ Candace ~ 1 Comment

I am one
with the moon
and stars
the cosmic dust
of planets

I am one
with the sun
and clouds
the flow of rivers
the ebb of tides

I am one
with the music
of nature
the dance
of seasons

I am one
with the beat
of your heart
the pulse
of your being

Compelled

~ Candace ~ 12 Comments

it must have been
some
magic spell
compelling me
to sit outside
beneath the moon
though it was
wintery –
not June
but as I tipped
my face to see
that gentlemanly
orb spied me
and sent a
moonbeam
to my cheek
a little kiss to
start my week
oh, surely I had
been compelled
by magic
moonbeams
as they fell

i am the blue of nature
the orange of a sunrise
purple clouds at sunset
the crisp red of autumn
yellow sunflower petals
i am tumbled, jumbled
pieces – a kaleidoscope
ever changing, shifting,
being recreated
