Our orbits collided,
Falling in rhythm
To the music of our love.
The love we share,
Pulses with radiance.
Your gravity pulls me in deep,
Yet sends me in flight.
To love you,
Is as easy as breathing.
I hope to dance with you,
Both here on earth,
And between the fabric
Of time and space itself.
Free,
And in love.

It’s difficult living with anxiety.
Beyond the existing crippling anxiety of the current state of our country
How am I going to earn enough income to not be paycheck to paycheck anymore?
How long will it be until I pay off all my debt?
How much longer am I supposed to wait until I am able to afford a house?
How long until my body stops fighting against me?
How long will it be that I witness my sister be treated like **** and in return she accepts it because she doesn’t have the strength yet to leave him?
How long will it be until our country reaches the point of revolution?
How long will I see fellow citizens and legal residents of our country disappear?
How long until we stop witnessing blatant, abhorrent, disgusting breaches in checks and balances that uphold the very foundation of this nation’s existence?
You see what I mean?
Living in my head there is no rest
And that doesn’t scratch the surface - I feel like it wells up from inside of me too
Squeezes straight into every cell of my body and overwhelms me
When will I heal?
From the reality that my sister and I will always be too far from each other to see each other “enough”?
From the reality that it will never be the same again with my dad?
From the reality that I’ll never be able to connect with my mom as she would hope?
From the reality that nobody secretly plots on leaving my life out of nowhere?
From the reality that everyone quiet politically around me will aid in the demise or harm of potentially millions of people?
It’s the realization dawning in me that although the wheel of worry never stops - so too will the “right” time in my life never be reached
My hope of course is that I continue to practice mindfulness
Meditating, training my brain to focus rather than allow it to be overwhelmed
To ground myself, remind myself I can never give up
That the community around me will not tire
Collectively, for all of us, to find strength together to rise up and speak up for each other and for yourself
No day should ever be taken for granted, our life is experienced here, and now

Standing next to you feels just as distant as 2,484 miles away.
Year by year,
we became strangers.
Brick by brick,
a wall formed between us.
Founded by pain and misunderstanding,
Built thick from disappointment.
You ingrained in me that I take up too much space;
And to please everyone - except myself.
The more I deviated,
the less you wanted to know of me,
And the louder the sound of your silence became.
Your silence is deafening.
A void has swallowed us both whole,
gnawing away beautiful memories.
A raw ache has filled the imprints they left behind.
These emptied memories
are all we had in common,
Tallied up transactions,
All marked as worthless now.
You are a black hole,
Expecting everyone to fill it,
Except yourself.
You must feel so hollow,
To take so much
yet still feel so empty.
Carrying all of that loneliness,
spreading it like a disease,
Without flinching.
You stopped loving me,
Not overnight,
But every time that I shared a piece of myself to you.
Your dedication to view my existence as unsubstantial,
Ripped at my soul.
I grieved so long for your attention,
That I lost sight of what I was truly grieving for.
Love.
As if once I basked in your attention,
My cup would finally feel full.
Now I just bask in the contemplation
Of how full my life will be without you in it.
I refuse this trauma train,
All it does is meddle with my state of mind.
It’s as though you prefer,
To keep my heart shattered
in a million shards,
Just to hold onto a few.
How is this love?
Your definition of love,
I don’t want it.
I can love myself better.
I choose peace;
I refuse to grow numb;
I know my worth,
whether you do or not.
Farewell.

Through time and distance we have traveled
Unbeknownst to each other
Our red threads of fate reached far and wide, tangling, and unraveling
Until ours inevitably intertwined
Our love fills and stretches my heart
The flames inside burn ever hotter
When I’m held by you, the world melts away, and time does not exist
Basking in the joy and wonder of life with you
I want to be there until
Our final embers

your desire is to rip into my chest for my beating heart..
****** my future down the gutter...
yell at me as i lower my head and cry....
bore holes into my head with distrust.....
and then cover it up with an "i love you".
. . . well **** you and good day.

The rain pours
as is norm
A knock on the door
my heart soars
Who would it be
but that certain he
Opening the door
he smiles down at me
Embracement
Strong but tender hands
pressed around my back
Stubble brushed
into my hair
Brought into light
A jawline
"I've missed you
my beaut"
Planted hands
Bowed heads
A kiss lands

I saw you on the steps,
...When I first really noticed you.
Of all that I reviewed
...your eyes were the most complex.
I have not stopped smiling at you
...since seeing that view.
The more we came together
...is when I realized
how much I was in for.
Your hands are a tether
...to my heart and to my soul.
From the music that protrudes
...beyond the want of words.
You bring me from the deep
...and enliven the joy of God in me.
Between the laughter and singing,
...praying and praising,
I know everything's going to be alright,
...God knew what he was doing
when he placed you...
on those steps.

Shifting through the bungalows,
Moonlight shivers amongst the abode.
The wooden planks easing into the sigh,
Of the wind wallowing its lullaby.
Tree leaves escalade,
Up, up, up, onto the roof, like a parade.
Then drip, drip, dripping,
The rain drops over the beam's lipping.
Two feet come suddenly into place,
Pacing amongst the rain's lace.
Shadows are glancing,
Over the lawn's new glaze.
The two feet begin quivering
From those shadows' new face.
A snap.
A creak.
A groan.
Fright has leapt up and won,
Quickly, cautiously
The feet run back towards home,
He is succumbed to panting,
From the terror within ranting.
Finally; he is alone,
And the haze of all that came to pass,
Has up and left him just as fast.

Put on the suit,
give a big hoot,
going along you shoot,
down the highway.
Lug out your stuff,
telling yourself you're buff,
until you rest and huff,
deciding to stay.
Taking off the sandals,
feet touch ground-up gravel,
while picking up clothes to rattle,
feeling the sun beat with every ray.
The odd stink of sunscreen,
put on to protect and leave a sheen,
needs to absorb and not be seen,
so as to hop in and say yay!
Run! Run! It's so fun!
Here, you dive under the sun,
and float around until you hum,
just like a mocking jay.
The waves come crashing,
turning you to thrashing,
so suddenly you are gasping,
hoping everything will turn out okay.
Hands come to grab you,
They know what to do,
Later you find out who,
and know you want to pay.
Sandcastles are the best,
resting on your chest,
you begin the big crest,
until big waves come to dismay.
Finally you want to rest,
soaking in limited UV's are the best,
on a spot of sand you make your nest,
for an hour you will lay.
What makes the trip complete,
is picking up your seat,
to make everything neat,
and that sums up your beach day.

The words of uncertainty,
collide to form this circuitry,
of life.
A light is energized to bring greatness,
to a face of being from happiness,
of life.
It grows into something else,
experiencing the action from tells,
of life.
Creates its mission,
for the fission,
of life.
Takes control of his adversary,
as there is for every anniversary,
of life.
Passes away to the light,
dissolving on its flight,
as is life.
