On Love's Ascent

On Love's Ascent

By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

My favorite subject like any poetic soul

Is that of love and how it burns like hot coal

How it soars through the sky and dives deep into deep

How it changes the mind and makes rational folk leap

Into the bliss of the great scary unknown
People will fly as they follow love's cologne
Surrounded by wonders and feeling such highs
The thrill of the chase is replaced with silk ties

Contentment to rest in one lover's arms
Forever seems harmless as she dances and charms
The fog dissipates and your friends and family see
The joy in your face and the lightness in your feet

Then all will know that love left it's mark
The tattoo of the greatest journey embarked
A reminder of joy and the sweetest first kiss
To never let go and of what you would miss

To be continued...

My Beautiful Journey

My Beautiful Journey
By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

My life is beautiful like sunrises in spring

Full of the glory of the earth's great offerings

 Relationships rich as a queen's velvet gown

Free as I've ever been like a child spinning round

Through all of my trials I learn and I see

How so very different and yet the same we can be

No journey is matched no path walked the same
Each life is so different from our choices to our name

And so I am driven to e'er greater heights

Wanting the best and needing to fight

For me, Religion and Science have much to prove and say 

But experience, Love and perspective have a much stronger sway

Our Grand Adventure

Our Grand Adventure

By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

My love you are so good to me

You show me love that sets me free

Providing love and earthly things

 Trust, respect and honor you bring

Love so deep it hugs my heart

So wide and vast the end and start

Love so full it floods my senses

So high and low, beyond all fences

I'm broken and whole within the same breath

Every day I seem to find new depth

In the whole world there is none like you

When I'm close or away it's confirmed to be true

You keep me coming back for more

The way you reach me to my core

Your hands, your words, and your intentions

I can't get enough of your affections

You're my adventure and I'm your treasure

Climbing the mountains through pain and pleasure

Braving the cliffs and resting in the fields

Forever free though our hearts together are sealed

Spring's Rebirth

Spring's Rebirth

By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

The sweet smell of the earth is bursting forth

With the deep musk of winter's cold fading breath

Brilliant colors dance playfully into view

As Spring comes to life and Winter to death

Drunk are my senses with the wonder of it all

Migrations and rhythms that make the earth hum 

The cycle of life, the annual resurrection

The birth and rebirth of the world's fertile drum

Through darkest adversity it's purpose remains

Even in urban jungles the wild will survive

Flourishing and growing where ever it can

Though barren in season even deserts come alive

 

Thriving In The Jungle

Thriving In The Jungle

By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

Stampeding horses, thundering hooves

Stubborn buffalo, who refuse to move

But in comes the rider to guide and to lead

Directing the traffic until all of them cede

Emotions like these while I step through the doors

Preceding the moment, like lions they roar

Like a native who navigates the jungle with ease

You whisper your secrets of survival to me

With each step I take I'm a little less scared

Reminding myself again that you're always there

The road that I travel though covered with snares

Is worth all the risk to show that you care

For out in that wild and unforgiving world

Are people who need to see love that's unfurled

They need to feel peace like a swan on the lake

They need to see beauty that can give and not take

So while in the labyrinth of woolly wild beasts

I'll heed your advice and eat the rare feasts

For without my guide I am ruled by the chase

Backed into a corner and left in distaste
