Ignite

 

I have entangled you 

In every fiber

With a searing fire

That needs release

I can't control

The flush of my skin

The primal cries

That escape from me

You ignite the fire in me 

The moon is full

My morals are low

Pour me some gin

We have some 

Places to go

In the shadows 

The flames grow

Liberate us 

From all that is dull

You ignite the fire in me

Talk about the 

second coming

If this is it

Than I am running 

Straight back into 

Your arms again

You ignite the fire in me...

Treasure Hunt

Reminding myself
To relish
In the moments that
Make me happy
Pause
Breathe
Savor
Don’t reflect
Or foresee
Just be
In that moment
Fully aware &
Unabashedly
Fucking
Free!

Home

When you become
Beyond depleted
Make Cuban Style
Black beans and rice
Because they remind you
Of Lisa
Of Florida
Of home
Dig in the dirt
Surrounding your garden
With railroad treasures
And wait patiently
For it to bloom
Plant Marigolds
Bright as sunlight
In honor of your
First child
Born in October
Remembering
How tiny he was
Nestled
In your arms
As Richie Havens’
Voice swept
Through the theatre
With salvation and purpose
You wept at
“Here Comes the Sun”
And baptized him
With your tears
Remember
How music heals
And how you will
Always
Find your way home
No matter
How lost you become.

May Moon

The evening
Settles in
Soft and lovely
Sipping scotch
Catching the
Moon
On the tip of
My toe
Guarded above
By constellations
Ursa Major
Virgo
&  Leo
Hypnotized
By the dancing
Smoke of sage
And laughing
Whilst losing
Every game
Of dominoes
That we play.

Día de Muertos:

Remembering
How blue the sky
Was that day
I gathered three
Of my favorite beings
For an adventure

I could feel the sadness
Hovering over me
The only remedy...
Getting lost outside
On winding roads
Instead of inside
My wondering head

The stillness of this frame
The beautiful souls it contains
The contrast of earth and sky
Will always remind me of
How far I have come
And that living should mean
So much more
Than just getting by.

Orange Blossom Honey

You smell like home
Barefoot on the soft
Baptized by rain grass
After thunder
And lightning
Opens the sky
Leaving it
Softer and pinker
Than you’ve ever seen
Light rays that burst
Through the darkness
With purpose and salvation
Sun kissed citrus
Hanging heavy
On the trees
Begging to be plucked
Layers falling freely
Juice dripping from
Fingers
Teeth and
Lips
Your mouth
Attracting honeybees
With every word
You speak...
~Amber Comber

Unbridled

Hop in
Let me take you for a ride
Moon is high
It’s the perfect time
Windows open
Hands on my thighs
You devour me with your eyes

The world blurs and
Time stands still and
Nothing feels more real
We push and pull
Bend and break
Forming a new shape

Leave me broken X’s 2

No need to worry
I’ve got lady luck on my side
I’ve run from the devil
Fast enough just to get by
Never cared what you thought
I’m gonna do it anyway
Saving my mistakes for a rainy day

Right now is the perfect time...
