Inside your way by Zander Ford

Magestic breast

Atop pine crown

Shining forth

Your radiance

Around


Bright beeing

All seeing

Let me in


What’s the language

You speak in friend?


Symbols no words

Can touch


What thoughts

Move thru your mind


Syncopated breath

In nature’s time


Perch, fly, chirp

Dive


In your element

Where


All beings thrive

Accept ants by Zander Ford

Tigers claws

Puppy’s paws


We grow and rage

Then turn the page


Some how

We are all that is


Can We accept we’re not here

Or there


Hers or his?


Open the book

Turn the page


Its what we do

Some days

Ripples by Zander Ford

Still pool

Reflected face


The pebble dropped


Lines within lines

Shine back


Fragments of humanity’s

Emotions captured


Anger, fear, shame, love

Pride, doubt, care, power

Certainty, curiosity...


Rippling insanity


The art we make

The poetry we are


Is staggering


And Beautiful

Sometimes

Human child by Zander Ford

Moisture fills this space

A diamond cut brilliant face


Syncopated drops fall silently here

Oh, Blesse’d one, keep me near


For, we are all children of humanity

Open open, and embrace your insanity


A birthright to see All in others

Tender gifts bright from mothers


You are that Beauty you seek

Open your diamond lids so sleek


And let that rain pillow of love

Shower your blessings below as above

Flushed cheeks by Zander Ford

The rain danced

Tiny footprints

Scattered on my warm cheek


It skirted stubble

Bounced blushes

Tingled tickles


The rain mesmerized

My mind

Opened my attention

To texture of her dance floor

To the soft warmth emanating

From deep welled pools of heated desire


She kissed me

With that dance

A kiss,

I will never forget. 

You are Beautiful by Zander Ford

‘You are Beautiful’

 

I heard

Over and over

 

Who was talking?

 

Oh, me

 

And so.

I began listening

 

To all the good

To all the wisdom buried

 

I began excavating

ancient tablets

of clay

 

Some script written so long ago

In my DNA

 

Then I awoke

And took

Two deep breaths

 

‘I love you

You are Beautiful

Thank you’

Whoosh is my name by Zander Ford

Flocks of wingtipped arrows shoot

Thru liquid crystal sky

Blazing contrails of music

As they pass by


A Whoooshhhshhhshh!!

As one organism

One being


I can feel their morning delight

Returning to the sea

After a long night

In some hidden tree


Ah, ocean!

We are here to sing your songs again!

Such a lovely morning

Hello my friend!


Spiraled tornados diving

This way and that

Magnetic compasses

Chirp chirp

And

Ratta tat tat

New Old Name by Zander Ford

The ocean pulled me close this morning

She kissed and caressed my heels

Drawing me in

Like a long lost child


She pulled me

From distant memories

A long forgotten name


And when I realized she had me

It was too late

I was already gone

My new old knowing returned


So what does one do

When the Ocean pulls them

Under

In her dark watery embrace?


Gives birth to an new old name


And vanishes

Leaving me still in her arms

Holograms of yesterday!?

Three Simple Words by Zander Ford

It was a soft rose-petal kiss

The kind of kiss that lingers with delicate lips

Of subtle fragrance

That floods the body with a sense of rapture and consummation at once

 

So I lingered

I let her touch my everything

With that soft hued

Gentle embrace of subtle nature

 

I felt her cotton cloud touch

Upon my receptive heart-being

I soaked in the warmth she had to offer

On this morning of wondrous life-breath

Saying three

Simple

Words

 

‘I love you’

 

And they carried that message home

Home to beyond the realm of words

Messengers destined for a land

That only lovers know

That only those who dare plumb and feel the depths of now and here, of tree, cloud and stone know

That those who share an embrace with God and say

‘I am that’

Know.

 

Three simple words

 

I Share

 

with You.

To shine again by Zander Ford

I miss the way your hair

Falls below your shoulders

Whipping the ivory moon around

Like she’s your hand maiden

Ready to do your bidding


I miss

The way you hold the wind hostage

And have private conversations

As she’s sailing by on

Her way home


I miss the space you occupy

Solid and empty

At once

In love and at peace

Upon Earth


I miss the gentle texture of your

Lacey skin

Saturated with warmth, with home

With smells of nurturing, safety... comfort


And,


Isn’t it lovely to long for memories so close,

To bring them home, and make them radiant again

In the sphere

Of this passing mind

Sunshine funnel by Zander Ford

In the depths of earth

These roots spring Forth

Fresh tips

Shedding old root-bark

Strengthened by their winter chi

Made strong by the cracks already pushed thru

Granite, loam, shale and clay

These roots, easily seek and find

The places of nourishment

The places where water flows upward

Where minerals are abundant

Ready to become life

The places where tangled strongholds are just

Natural

In the dark depths of earth

These roots bring light

Shining their rays from above

Deep into crystalline soils

Sunshine funnels

Tunneling heavenly light deep

Into their sensual substrate

Cracks and crevices opening

To receive and become one

With these roots

These Winter roots

Yin time by Zander Ford

Let us rest

As the sun

Hangs low

Upon his endless

curtained sky


Let us be at peace

Within these sleepy

Hollows

Of winter time


Let us appreciate

The toils of summers past

Celebrate the hearth

The heat

The furnace blast


Circle with me

As the stars orbit

Eternity


Cozy up to my warm lap

And have yourself

A blissful animal

Nap


Join skin to skin

Resting now in cool dark winter

Gravitational pull of patterned flesh

Earth Yin

Preparing for Springs to come

Rest, rest....

Spirit guides by Zander Ford

Let me walk

Amongst you

As a shadow

following your breath


Let me sing

Beside you

As a whisper of longing

to return


Let me ride

Your shoulders

And dance

You awake


Let me be

Inside you

As we laugh

Today

Remembrance by Zander Ford

He Tasted it

Before

And then

Lost it


It’s such a blessing

When something precious

is lost


Such a sweetness

and wisdom

Is found

In the struggle

To understand

It’s remembrance

In the light

Of God

Fly with me by Zander Ford

Fly with me

To destinations unknown

Where our heart songs are 

In harmony with purpose

Where divine light blesses our wings

Songs of purpose propell our beats

with rhythmic pulsing of pleasure

The arrow by Zander Ford

I shot an arrow into the sun

It came back alight with a message


‘Dance with me

Until we are one’


Be fierce

Be fiery

Be strong

And stiff


Dance with me

Until we are one


Be soft

Be supple

Be wrathful

And rare


And when the sun engulfs

Us

Both


Again


Then..


Dance with me

Just for fun
