This love hurts
Uncompromising pain
Accompanied by euphoria
It's hard to explain

Usually writing these poems
Helps me get it off my chest
But my words are lost
I'm feeling depressed

Everyday my love for you grows
What was once a lifeless seed
Now resembles a rose

Flowers need water
'lest they wither and die
Just thinking about it
Makes me want to cry

A petal falls..
He loves me
Another petal falls,
He loves me not.

Poem by Tammy C.

If Love had roots,
it would seep through the quiet
flesh of winter's earth,
and drink from a stream
of cold spring that escaped
the wrath of ice.

Somewhere in the woods,
after a long, tired
night, a fresh leaf emerges,
brushed by the youthful green
that with long strides
gallops over the gray landscape.

When the flirtatious
daughters of the dandelions,
begin to spread their passion
back and forth
to wherever the air flows,
Love heals its wound.

Like a rebellious
grizzly awakens, in a mountain
cave sealed by glacier,
it shakes off the snow
on its back, and blooms
with a Roar!

Poem by Tammy C.

The sea just floats,I touch the sky
Blue is overwhelming, defying
I drown in the midst of time and place
Nothing else matters
Nothing is awake but me
My essence engulfs the site
I am alive
People begin to fade away
They dissolve into the sweet locks of yesterday
And I live
I smell the revitalizing air of today
The air is kind, giving
For I am grateful of where I am
Lost in this maze of abandonment
Locked inside a box of limitless boundaries

The earth opened out
Into the sky.
That night,
I felt I might
Fall into it,
To entangle myself
In a web of stars
That beckoned to me
With their twinkling fingers.
I felt my own soul expand
Sink into the heavens
Feeling the warmth of you beside me
The crisp air on my face
I felt the world would hold me
For a while
My searching heart
Found a universe in yours
So that I felt I might
Fall into it
And entangle myself
In the world of
Who you are.

Poem By Tammy C.

When April comes
When I'm alone
He's not here
His voice how soft
Like his touch
The warmth of his lips
He never existed
Fragments to emptiness
This trail leads no where
Roses that never existed
crumble into the void of dreams
Everything he said I believed
It was however playful talk
Laughs shared
Dreams imaginable
Hopes bonding us
All these laughs dreams and hopes
Just memories I try to forget, Memories that never were 
I lead myself on to believe
these beliefs that never will exist
And when April comes
Inside myself I'm still trapped
Inside walls I've built
Isolation from others
Though my fist beat away
The walls don't come down
I walk this trail that leads no where
Holding roses that only crumble
Like our hopes and dreams and all he never said
And I'm still alone
And he's not here

Poem by Tammy C.

Every day
the words inside me
struggle
in their birthing
to find the breath
to fill
these empty spaces
with energy.

Sometimes they drown
in the natal pools
of my mind
smothered
in second thinking
and the censorship
of doubt...

At other times
they come to life
in flawless lines
of limitless possibility.

Who knows how,
they've been raised
to the surface
of my consciousness.

I can only hope
to capture
their ephemeral beauty
now,
quickly,
before the feeling
fades...

Poem By Tammy C.

Be joyful, and be lead forth in peace.
Stand at the top of a mountain, and burst
into a song.

The birds will sing along, and the trees in the
field will be clapping there leaves,
for life is all around you.

Walk in the light of your presence, and rejoice all of your days.

Your heart, filled with love and peace, bringing
happiness to all.

I lecture you this, so that your life can be unique,
there is no ransom in what I teach, just enter
the everlasting light, and be complete.
Delight and joy will overtake you, sadness and pain, will fly away.

In Love.

Poem By Tammy C.

One would wish
The things of the world
were Connected.
They aren’t.
It’s the inbetweens
We live in, live through,
In all their disjointedness.
There is no ease
Even in that recognition.
We have to find
Our ease somewhere else.

Poem by Tammy C.

Where the brush grows thick,
Where the water laps the shore,
Where the thin wind parts the grasses
Whispering through them 'Nevermore'

There the willows weep in silence
For the souls that passed before,
The stars upon the water
Whisper softly 'Nevermore'

Clouds have shuttered fast the moonlight,
The silence falls once more,
Then the thin wind through the grasses
Moans across the empty shore.

Poem By TammyC.

Come now, what would you have me believe--
That you are open, unique, beyond yourself?
I try to make your little evasions make sense,
Reach through the mist of your moving away.
You can take up whatever defense the moon will allow,
Become the left hand of truthfulness at night….
The radiance of forgetfulness is not so endearing
When friends lose faith; I have no measure
For the swerve of emotion left beneath the eaves.
We can go straight back to hovering over forgiveness.
We’ll return to our present wavering soon enough.
Please touch the tip of your thought with grace
Until I find my strength in silence once again.
I call you by name, my counterpart, high, brave wind
Beyond necessity, beyond the windings of compromise.
