Secrets.
Precious,
shame filled hidden desires
and stories.
Shared,
they are rare gifts.
Not lies,
but longings and fears.
Tearful offerings.
Once whispered they live.
Fragile in another’s ears.
They must be loved.
Respected.
Cared for.
Remembered.
Secrets.
Mirrors into our souls.
Ignored
become shattered bits
of self.
Handled with care
become homes for healing.
Soulful Connections.

Anxiety is
Purgatory for my tears
Let them fall I beg

As sunlight steals
the night sky
Chasing the moon from its perch
So to does it chase away the
Braveness and boldness
Of a night filled with amber liquid
And the shedding of rules and fears.
Under the moons watch
we became two people
Uninhibited for a moment in time
Daring and bold
Drinking in one of life’s simple pleasures
A kiss
An asking and a telling in that moment
Then as the stars carried our secret into another’s night sky
We were left with the clarity and certainty the sun brings
Reminding us...
Shore up defenses
Remember the rules
For to let guards down
Leaves room for questions
A home for guilt
An exposing of longings
Yet morning to midnight
Both have a story
Written and waiting to be wrote
A reminder light does not exist without darkness
And clarity is to know
There is nothing known
And maybe love lives somewhere in between.

He says, “Do you want to come home with me?”
I say, “No”
I think, “Yes”
My heart tells me, “You don’t want his body without his soul. And he is not ready to share both.”

There is a space existing between us
Where unformed words live in the shape of
felt experiences.
To form the unspoken is a useless endeavor.
These moments and memories hold
a felt sense of knowing.
Tears, laughter, loneliness, aching, love
For once words do not need to be spoken
For they are said in our moments
of silence.

It’s back.
The familiar ache radiating through my chest.
It steals my breath.
It hurts my stomach.
It makes my eyes leak.
I try to hold it.
Love it.
Accept it.
Understand it.
Connect with it.
Yet nothing seems to comfort it.
It’s a searching. An existential longing. A yearning.
It fills and is left unfilled.
Have I chosen it?
Or has it chosen me?
Loneliness
Is it to be released?
Or asked to release me?

Feelings.....
Discovered, Explored, Explained
Never Felt
Lived or Loved

Talk to me
Share with me
Hold me
Kiss me
Know me
Love me
Don’t need me
Talk at me
Or Take me
Want me
Desire me
Don’t consume me

The sea swallowed me
in its' salty waves.
Pursued me in its'
Power.
I was unable to see in its' wake.
Breath in its' presence.
Its' depths and darkness engulfed me.
Fear.
Despair.
Loss.
Longing.
All these lived here.
And then came you....
words.
My words.
My voice.
First thought,
Then gathered,
Finally written,
Then Shared.
Poetry YOU saved me
from myself.

You......a lover of words
Painting pictures with each syllable
Evoking feeling with every click of the keyboard.
Yet you will not feel or hear the words of mine.
How angry I am with you.
