Gifts - Poetry by Cherie

Posted by Jahrun Chilam Balam


A man whose heart spins in his head
Without control and without dread
A man of privacy a man of passion
Someone you want to meet when he's perfecting his fashion

To walk one day in his shoes
Experiencing the height and depths of his blues
Walk beside him for a few steps
Breathe in his philosophies and have to catch my own breaths

Understanding the man I think I see
To discover he has been hiding so much from me
Behold the butterfly casting away from the cocoon
Watch a beautiful creature dance, moan and swoon

Sweeping through the warm spring air
Catching each breeze and so unaware
Flying freely with a heart ransomed but never lost
Believing this truly is life redeemed beyond any cost

The man is stronger than ever before
Reached out beyond his hopes and beyond his front door
Never expecting the gifts he would receive
Deep love walked in and a friendship that never will leave.

Soul Lover - Poetry by Cherie

Posted by Jahrun Chilam Balam


You embody the crevices of my mind
In the dreamy memories of the soul I want to find
Dwell within the tender part of my heart
Create in me the things I strive to impart

When the door slams shut and it seems the world is cold and dark
I just turn around and discover a world that is far from stark
Treading lightly on fragile ice that covers the waters of death
Inhaling the scent of you with every breath

Your presence surrounds me giving me chills
The sensations I feel are stronger than drink or any pills
My soul lover embrace my spirit and dance with me
Climb up the walls of my heart and set me free

Forsaking the vows I made the day I left my soul behind
Never expecting to discover the wholeness I could find
You sweep me out of the shadows embracing the light
The powerful connection I feel I cannot fight

Stir within my soul the life I think I have lost
Touch me please, I need to know it is all worth the cost
Waiting for a sign that an eternal love could start
Wanting you to see that I will never betray your heart

~ Cherie Lee, 2003

Giving Tree

Posted by Jahrun Chilam Balam

Read "Giving Tree" to Helena, who just celebrated two solar returns. She participated on to the end where she hung her head crying.

I marvel at her insightfulness and compassion, despite my not knowing the details of her thoughts.

Helena knows much. Helena was born with divine wisdom.
