a wolf...

her eyes only hold beauty
so you are following
the scent is lavender
honey behind her ears
when you whisper you forget your words
her spell is binding
her mouth a opening of sunshine
 warm
oshun leading chango into the woods
darling
she wrote the chant....
she doesn't speak much
the move of her arms
 hold the glory
that you want to praise

she only smiles leading....

a love letter to James...

i wrote this in the morning
 darling
the morning

when sunshine poured  through my windows....
and
 i thought about my layers.
..darling...
my layers
my depth
and how i have shown you my good
bad
whiskey nights
fighting
you
a pearl in my eye for you
i know
yes...
 im drinking again
cause
 i cant cleanse you out of this house
your scent is in the walls
smelling you that night
brought tears
i reached for my knife....
then i thought of your arms
and
 my breath became quick
 i held the silver tight
and
i cried for you
i sang for you
all in my kitchen
humming to sleep
when will you come back to me
so i can rest....                                  

Love, Charlie Mae

a dedication....

baby girl
that loneliness will eat you up
your nights
 become blended into one
your mouth is smiling
inside
confusion is your twin
you nod at each other
in reflection
kiss
the nightingale serenades your
whiskey filled dreams
and her song is on repeat
toasting to something someone invisible
waiting
turning  to only see
a shadow of
salutes
the army of forgiveness
has
issued a retreat
holding your own hands
your sancturay
whisper spells
wondering where is your magic...
to conjure
