Let it be

Posted by Helen Howell on August 19, 2010

I understand where it came from, where it’s gone to a deep mystery, but I’m not inclined to delve and pry or not trust the process of love. But still the missing of corners and bends perturbs a traveller on roads to the end for always they should lead into straights that allow a return [...]

Thinking love

Posted by Helen Howell on July 17, 2010

Thinking love and why it is the heart no longer moves into a bed of roses where buds are known to bloom into their eternal truth. It’s like a winter all year round where all is covered on the ground to prevent the coming out of love’s amazing grace. Perhaps the summer harsh and stark [...]

The “I love you”

Posted by Helen Howell on May 30, 2010

So when the “I love you” breaks free there’s no earthquake or upheaval of what has always been but it’s like the air is cleaner and the sky celebrates the advent of honesty. It dances on the spot like a gypsy dressed in blue and swirls the clouds round about its own form of happiness [...]

Strangest thing

Posted by Helen Howell on May 6, 2010

To pull out stakes from heart and watch the leak of energy flow freely to the floor was the strangest thing I’ve ever done. ‘twas just a mental pull and tug with intent behind the force that left a large and empty hole where love was meant to be ~ and so then I believed [...]

An ordinary thing

Posted by Helen Howell on April 23, 2010

It’s just an ordinary thing but no standard weight and measure to fit within the cabinet of a lifetime’s memories. It doesn’t have a brand name according to my history or a pseudonym to indicate its not how it appears and, in fact, it’s simply blank like a page before a poet has begun the [...]

The truth of love

Posted by Helen Howell on April 9, 2010

The truth of love comes trip-trip, tripping through the fields of turmoil and strife searching for daisies amongst the weeds and pebbles worn smooth by dedication. The sun beats down the heat of fatigue till night heralds in the shiver of fear but in the downpour of all obstacles the truth waits in a self-made [...]

A candle unlit

Posted by Helen Howell on April 3, 2010

I still have a candle unlit by love in perfect and pristine condition and it tempts me sometimes to find what it takes to destroy its manner of being. Nothing, you see, should stand unlit by love’s so enflamed desire but it happens some times when we choose not to touch and know of the [...]

A simple cry

Posted by Helen Howell on March 25, 2010

When the line is unbroken between heart and eyes there’s no getting away from a simple cry but a cry’s not simple; it’s a spiked cocktail where inputted love fights conditioning. The fight rages for a second or more like sea as it pounds on immovable rocks until the waves rise, up, higher up, and [...]

Illusive love

Posted by Helen Howell on March 14, 2010

Free and weightless floating there lost thoughts in me like breathing air dispatch desire and need to sky and draw me up like smoke from fire. Crushing blows and then dismay turn nights to days in life’s foray but love, illusive love, lays down its heart and soul into the ground. It should fight and [...]

I love

Posted by Helen Howell on March 10, 2010

I love the feel of summer rain in fall upon my brow each drop a lover’s sweet caress, each drip a timeless vow. I love the feel of rising sun that fuels my memory and the night that holds just so my wishes and my dreams. I love the feel of autumn wind around my [...]
