Centrifuge

I've tumbled through
my centrifuge
again..

you know the one
that separates
good from bad;
bad from good..

if only
I could remember

the code
to unload
the debris.

Undoing

The undoing..

the phoney
altruism;
the schisms..

the do’s - the don’ts;

the lying
by omission..

the blame - game
shaming
control..

the taming
of our
screaming
souls.

Poem & Painting by Mairi

Disentangle

Disentangle
all the torn
outworn
pieces
still inside you..

bruised emotion
quiet disgrace;
the untruths

within..

that buried place
where light
breaks in

and love
begins.

Symphony

Within
the intimacy
of our truth,
anguished thoughts
vanish..

I become
a quiet refrain..

a gentle symphony
again.

Truth

The truth
is always there
universal and eternal..

a fleeting glimpse
without a sound;
a sudden flash
pounding you

shaking you
awake..

the truth
is always there..

concealed
or revealed.

Poem & Painting by Mairi
Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Awake

I  could hear
the universe
whispering
the truth;
calling
my name..

the walls
have fallen..

the game
has changed..

love remains.

Excerpt: Poems from the Universe

Seeds

Maybe
I have always known
the seeds of love
now fully grown..

would remind me
of all that's lost
and tossed
aside..

in the living
of life..

and giving
away

of our truth.
