I seen this billboard sign April 28th, 2013 on my way home from Costco. The phrase “FOLLOW YOUR HEART” caught my eyes. I think the universe speaks to each of us in different ways. How many of us do not listen to what our hearts tell us? We try to use our logic minds and ignore our hearts.

We also, too often, allow the instability of some inner fear, or insecurity we may carry within us to hold us back from listening to our heart speaking. We are all meant to Love, and be Happy, and know Deep Joy. Don’t loose yourself and what YOUR Heart is Speaking To YOU…just listen to your heart’s soul…

May Your Heart Sing & Your Soul Dance Always In The Joy of Love’s Embrace…

L♥VE Is Everyday

Darkness fades softly into the penetrating shadows
Casting my soul upon the tender kisses of your soul
Healing my heart with the purest of love’s intentions
As you continue opening my eyes to seek new dreams…

Tell me again, about the fragrant
pinnate Elder Flowers. The one’s
perfuming their honey among the
sweetest arboreal wintides…

…and what about those
glorious Honeysuckle Trumpet Vines;
Embracing quietly the bounty of our
sun kissed morrows? I see them growing
wild over forgotten country rooftops;
Where sapphire Morning Glories are
dancing in full bloom…

Could you tell me too, about
the scarlet Azalea blossoms?
The ones you planted beneath the
chiming meridian bells. And could you
tell me too, once more, about the surrender
within the stilling of quietude, as it reaches
with an unending presence, deeper and deeper into
the cascades of my soul…

Could you also tell me about the sacred meaning
within the bouquet of these heart felt emotions,
as they continue dawning within love’s eternal bounty;
whispering softly upon these moments living between now
and all infinity…

I have been doing allot of soul searching lately, and I gotta say I sure love all these awesome little tid bits my friends are posting on FaceBook! It’s like the universe is reaching out to tell me something & totally has my attention. Since my brother Lloyd Dean McColley Sr.’s murder on February 16th 2013 I have been in a deep well of grief. I cannot even go into all the details about it, but the fact that his life was taken from him in an instant really impacts my soul. (and too remember grief hits everybody in many different ways-pay attention to the lesson(s) sorrow & grief are teaching)

I realize how important NOW is. It’s exactly that simple too. This Deepak Chopra quote is also pretty amazing too if you allow the truth of it to sink in…and I am!!

…and Thanks Dave Korpi for posting this image on your FaceBook!!

Love Poems: Victoria L. McColley

Where I drown
upon your sombrous quietus echo
Stilling within the ethereal depths
of our broken souls

Refusing to die
among the trapped odalisque emotions
As your truth screams
upon desolation’s triste grave chambers

Embodied permanently by the shouting darkness
of unending death knells
I mercilessly weep cursing the shattered reasons
releasing once more sorrow’s grievous thorn

Searching and searching
for the breviloquent guardians of understanding
as I wait inside this destructive nightmare
of reality’s living dream…

© Poetry: Victoria L. McColley 2013

I’m going down to the river
where the ocean meets the sea
and the winter willows whisper
into the days of our infinity

it is here, nearing fertile meadows
where our dreams are sought to sow
as we rose above the bayside mountains
where our innate love forever grows

and the songs enlisting each tomorrow
live deeper within you and me
arriving into this precious moment
setting the fires of our silent passions free

as I sing to you my ecliptic love songs
and hope that you will always know
I will love you forever and ever
where the winter willows seek to grow…

Yesterday’s Death Knells

The softness of the willows offered my soul spiritual shelter
A tender gracility that touches the chamber of my heart

Releasing me from a world so torn by the presence of hatred’s curse
Lingering among the forging emotions with discontenting turmoil;
I pondered to know my life’s journey with new immeasurable meaning
Something with purpose waning inside all the emotional torment

And no matter the horrors I encounter with blood stained messages
There is a sacred psalmic bounty flowing through my pulsing veins
And for whatever reason this existence has never exhausted love’s trellis
Where the unyielding vines of hope blossom with complete surrender
Growing within an infinite beauty that I can never quite understand
Enthralling upon my soul, ensuing my thoughts, to rise above convictions
I know I must continue this journey, seeking to embrace all the truth(s) offering clarity

As I begin wading deeper and deeper into the darkness, pondering the noxious briars
And the poisonous thorns, that root inside these chambers of a forgotten shadow;
Unmasking the gravel thrown dust, whispering its hardcore secrets to the hidden reasons
…all of which continue shattering dreams within the vaulting memories of yesterday’s death knells
Where you and I stood on solid ground carving our names inside river stones
Knowing the corpse of our lives garnered the shadows of irrevocable silence
as we were cast to the faceless reasons of eternity…

Poetry by: Victoria L. McColley

…wondering, might it be, that I announced my spirit to soon
or could it be that my dreams are another’s dreams
to flee among the zephyr’s wind tide
naked with the glorious ideations of inspiritous clues
to the wafting moon flowers, and You,
whispering nectarous emotions of love’s love
within this softness spoken upon the nape of my being

…as the choices of our hearts gather enlightenment’s truths
those memories we wrote upon the warm beach sand
faded neath the caress of rivers flow, flow, flowing

…come see the budded trees weeping for the willow
as I called you to whisper to the vacancy within my heart
revealing the darkness, or preparing for tomorrow’s uncertainty
I spill my soul…spill spill spill…for You…

I took a day to relish in nothingness…and I enjoyed it so very much. I bathed my thoughts with loving memories. I also reconnected with a cousin of mine who is a priceless jewel. This is such a healing time right now. I am so grateful to all the blessings I have in my life. I am still grievous over how my brother’s life was stolen away from him through violence. Stolen from all of us who love him, but I know I must calm the sorrow. He is not suffering. He is with our creator. He is at peace. I pray God’s Love Over Everyone to Heal & Mend their lives from all the trauma they witnessed. I will ease my sorrows by rejoicing & cherishing in his beautiful life lived….
