Blog of the Week ~ Truedessa

This week, my friends, we are pleased to feature Truedessa, who writes at True Wanderings. Truedessa explains, "I am currently involved with the explorations of dreams and dream works. I enjoy studying ancient cultures and the unknown / paranormal." Her readers enjoy the on-going narrative adventures of Truedessa and her traveling companion, Captain Pat, as they encounter many breathtaking encounters on land and sea. I have chosen three of my personal favorites today. Do  check out her blog, if you haven't already, as there is so much more to be read and enjoyed. 

from Truedessa's collection

In Silence, I Hear

In silence I gaze upon still waters

holding an envelope of hopes and dreams

blue heron watches from marshy quarters

the clock strikes three all is not as it seems

In silence, birds sing I am not alone 

fresh ashes symbol of my intentions

a journey quest into the vast unknown 

slow rhythmic breathing releasing tensions

In silence, I blow kisses to the wind 

carrying my voice on the wings of change 

honoring visions , mother nature grins

aligning thoughts a time to rearrange

seven messages, words drawn from the heart 

in silence I sense calmness, a fresh start

I so love that poem! Here is a beautiful one. If you enjoy a happy love story, this blog is the place to visit!

Unraveling towards Unity

two souls

unraveling 

cohesive in their thoughts 

ribbons of her entwined with him

they bond

~

two spheres

facing inward 

in a vast universe

revolving around each other 

meshing

I think now, we must have one of the energetic adventures of our swashbuckling heroes, Truedessa and Captain Pat, to get the whole picture. This is what Truedessa says about the adventures of these "light-hearted fools.".

"The Truedessa and Captain Pat adventures  really started from a blog post, and from there they took on a life of their own. It really has been an amazing journey. Pat has actually made a few of the adventures into books. I think my favorite is Fight in the Night, but Fight for the Light will hold a special place in my heart - a true treasure -  as that is the first one he put together based on my poem. I cannot express the joy it brought me to see Truedessa come to life in a book with Captain Pat. Amazing things really do happen in life!"

Sherry: Yes, they do. Let's tune in.

Beyond the Milky Way

Warm swirling mist two light hearted fools dream

searching the sea for that blue sapphire ring

tis said it holds power as it makes hearts sing

under the darkest of nights it would gleam

Truedessa and Captain Pat gaze upon the sky

this journey of theirs has reached a feverish pitch

woven fabrics of their souls held with satin stitch

caught in a magical land their hearts softly sigh

Two wild spirits bonded by the journey of life

to find good fortune could be a game of luck

tis said one must venture into the deep muck

they have seen enough heartache and strife

Together they sail searching coast to coast

facing adventures and weathering storms

cloud watching as a picture slowly forms

Truedessa whispers " I feel a chill, a ghost"

Captain Pat with his cat on his lap listens

turbulence seems to circulate the cold air

a sense of real danger, a sign to beware

in the shadows of night two eyes glisten

a soft melody drifts between blue waves..

Come to me

come to me

let us soar

beyond the milky way

Out of the darkness, a man dressed in black

with eyes of red, he wishes to make a deal

beneath his cloak a light saber he conceals

Truedessa & Captain Pat take a step back

Captain Pat declares " what is your intention"

Truedessa shivers as a finger points her way

a spaceship hovers , with lights on display

this dark Jedi comes from another dimension

Captain pulls his weapon, as does the Jedi

have no fear we will conquer this foe

stormy winds, delivering a howling blow

what world lives beyond the milky sky

whhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

whhhhhhhhhhh 

vrummmmmmmmmm

vrummmmm

Truedessa and the captain side by side

sword to sword the two will readily fight

but, the dark Jedi is quick with his light

swift as lightning the saber swings wide

Tossing the spotted cat into the deep sea

Truedessa heaves a cry, "for that you will pay"

transferring energy their swords now light rays

Captain swears, I'll cut you down like a tree

Whhhhhhhhhh 

vrummmmmmmmm

whhhlvrummm

Suddenly, the rolling sea lets out a roar

heaven and earth tremble and shake

a dragon ship appears , waves break

seems a ninja has graced their shore

Fiery bursts from the dragon ships jaw

the spaceship is hit, orange flames galore

Capt'n Pat swings the Jedi falls to the floor

extending over the ship rail, a large claw

Truedessa runs to ship-side, a giant sea lion

sitting on his furry mane, the spotted cat

she scoops him up, giving the beast a pat

just as the spaceships slip over the horizon

Captain Pat and Truedessa safe and sound

exhausted they gaze up towards the stars

giving thanks to the ninja who plays guitar

together many adventures they have found

And they will find many more, I have no doubt! Thank you, Truedessa, for your participation at Poets United, and your entertaining adventures in poetic verse. We look forward to reading more about your adventures with Captain Pat - as well as your exploration of dreams and drumming, as this new year unfolds.

Week by week, it's so wonderful to get to know each other better. I hope you enjoyed this mini-visit as much as I did. Do come back and see who we talk to next, my friends. Who knows? It might be you!
