sweet zo'la
an enigma of the divine.
I see you
twirling--endlessly, in a beautiful flowing skirt--
out in the desert
looking back over your shoulder---
laughing.

For You know something we don't yet know.
Your eyes hold the secrets to a sahara wonderland within every breath.
A way of being.
a way of breathing.
lusciously.

I see you growing and changing
and deepening into exploration of the ever many phases of the moon,
of the goddess,
of the priestess deep within.
her voice soothes souls
her dance awakens the dreamer in all of us
and brings me back to far away lands
where gypsies cackle
and desert winds blow fierce in the night
where goblets clink in celebration
and cheers are made merry,
where coy smiles unleash passions eternal
and one wink from this goddess
uncloaks a fire within---

mmmm..
zoela...
the sweetest of hearts
the softest of touch
the innocencce of all that is good and true in this world
and yet the wisdom and passion of wise women born anew within her travelled bones.
i see you
re-incarnating
centuries and centuries of sacred arts
and timeless temple sits,
wandering mistrals
and enraptured love affairs.
reborn
into the urban gypsy spirit dancer healer, voice-activated, soul-sanctified woman (Whoa-man!)
you are born to be.
And ahhh how i delight in the journey of discovery! Will you take me with you?

love you lady. you are a dear friend of Truth and heart.
let's dance!
xo!

Zoela Zoela-what can a poet say of one such as she?
Muse of the white rose and luscious musk
come up from the warmest most enchanted waters
to soothe our hearts with her sweet sweet lullabies.
Yemayas daughter here to surely remind us of all that is soft, delicious and ripe.
Dear, beautiful Zoe,
Of the Samba tides and swaying coconut palms.
Of the ancient fortresses and mystical green forests.
Of the desert sands all covered in crimson henna and eternal starlight.
Her skin like mocha, her voice like soft bronze embroidered velvet sheets
Her laughter still carrying the innocence of a child.
Fiercely loyal, a devout friend and lover
Sky dancer of the temples of the holiest of the holy
And total goofball to boot.
Dear Zoe who has captured my heart and inspired my love and my tenderness over and over again.,
Forever grateful, forever yours, my love, Lady Zoela.

When I first met Zoe, I remember feeling an impulse to bow before her. It was as if I was standing before Quan Yin/Tara... the great goddess of compassion and wisdom. Wise beyond her years. Beautiful in the most essential and exquisite way. Talented and humble. Magical and mystical. Loving and kind. Zoe is one of the most inspiring and uplifting beings I have ever met. I adore her heart. I cherish her hands. I honor her spirit. I am in service to her soul. You will be too. May love and light always shine down upon you, dear Zoe. Blessings & Namaste.

We are on opposite sides of the world
Our lives unknown to the other.
When finally you are in reach
It is only for a few days
and then
Flash!
You are gone-
Vanished...
We return to different worlds.....

The letters that you write
written on the same soft green paper
Are words that i cannot forget
Words of encouragement and
hopes for the future.
Dreams that will last forever.....

You never compare me to anyone
but myself
Never think of writing the negatives, but
only seem to mention the positives

When those few moments arrive
where we can be together
I feel i can be myself
Cry
Be silent
Scream

Your calm sweet voice
Everlasting....
Seems to remove the hate and sadness

Whenever i am depresesed
or loose my self-esteem,
I am a better person
because of you.........

You are
My sister....
My friend....
Forever.

Crazy Beauty
Goddess
and Sweet
Sweetner than
anything
Yet I barely know her
but I see
and seeing is everything
Zoe is Beauty
