25/M/Somewhere Else Love this site as a place to share pieces of myself. Mix of old writing and new but it’s all my own. Feedback and comments always always welcome.
This world of heavy commercialism of finding 'healthy whole alternatives' to healthy living Welcome to the world of telling daughters they are too much and sons that they cannot cry Drink your protein soda, your collagen tea, Did you go to the gym today? how about the diet soda and single gram of sugar in your ice cream What, are you sad? Why move on get over it the world can't be that bad at least you're not them Why feel or age when you can buy salvation.

disgust
What do you do when you can’t get home Do you find some corner to cry in The world is an oyster There are fish in the sea The fruit is ripe The bulls horns wait How many options are there to choose When all you want is home Lost in the woods See through the fog Or maybe it’s just the light At the end of the tunnel When you leave home to never turn back Where will you rest your head A soft pillow A warm body A grassy hill under stars Is it now home?

Home?
Sometimes we forget the life we live Losing sight of all the world Sometimes we lose our forever goals and the walls close around Sometimes we falter hiding from it all yet our heart still beats Sometimes we remember a breath comes some new fresh air our lungs start again The room we get stuck in all the walls break down the light of life streams in Sometimes we dream again

Escape
Wake up thats what I heard or thought I heard when I lifted my head to the sky I heard the wind blow the bird song surrounding the groaning of the trees the rustling of leaves I heard Wake up the world feels more alive I feel a part of it wake up go out and smell the roses perceive, connect, Wake Up just this morning for the first time I listened to the Earth it told me Wake up

Alive
One second of time This moment is all that matters Stop the clock and take a snapshot observe and reflect on now Time is so often wasted regret the past worry on the future Nothing that matters find happiness now that moment of peace One second of time

Stop
That little mountain stream, How long has it been here Surrounded by Rhododendron, Moss covered stone? Its source high above, Its end far below This one branching vein How deep do its waters flow? If I were a pebble, Rolling slowly down stream How far would I go Before I find a water - fall? Swim far little pebble, Get caught in the stream. Sink or fall, roll along Until rest may be seen.

Finding the Edge
I hear the rain again soft at first but slowly rising patterning pounding pouring I hear the flood is coming soon It wants to take us bring us to some far off place Our moorings unteathered the foundations ripped apart chaos in the eyes of man, yet wonder in the heart I hear the birds singing the softly breaking rain I hear the dawn incoming to welcome a brand new day

I Hear...
I still wish to call you love My fingers twitch at the end of every line I write you But now, I just use your name Because to me It feels one and the same Love is synonymous with you

Fields of flowers Planted in my mind A garden for me(for us) Memories and hopes Marigolds and hydrangeas Sunflowers to turn and admire you As we walk along exploring. My life, my world, my love, my loss All contained in this little plot A garden curated yet a bit of chaos Maintained but allowed to grow. Please take what you wish Take care of it Allow this piece of me To flourish also with you They will love our care Together rather than alone. When you aren’t there to wander my field of flowers Colors become more muted Daffodils and Lilies, Irises and gardenias All droop a little lower But I still see you there Flowers and memories.

My garden
Lazing about under the soft glow of a lamp Rain ticking away the time Thunder shaking the window pane Summer storm rolling by. Waiting on a reply, I know, Nothing will come. Learning new patterns Forgetting old ways Loving so fully Ever the same. The storm out side It batters my heart. Rain matches My tears. The shaking windows The lungs heaving sigh. The streets silence Echoed in the self. Drops on the window A ticking second hand. Tick-nothing Tick-nothing Drop-nothing Tick-nothing Drop-nothing
