another month has gone by
the leaves are beginning to fall
the tides and the moon have called
for another cycle
where my body sheds its own layers
and i become
renewed
now a new month is beginning
the leaves will continue to fall
and my body will build another layer
that will soon shed again in the months to come
it’s an ongoing cycle of
pushing and pulling,
rising and falling,
loving and despising.
in the end
we are all skin and bone,
stardust and soil.
there is not enough tea in the world
to fill a cup of sorrow
so from now on
i will continue to shed my layers
and let the moon control my cycle
because in the end
i am a miracle

you are comfortable
and irritating
you stay constant in my mind
when i know there are more
important people to think about
but do you think of me?
how do you see me inside of your mind?
i want to move on
i know there are greater forms of love
but you occupy space and
i cannot convince myself to
get rid of you
just
yet

the hair that grows on my body
has taught me how to love myself
in my truest form.
my natural beauty
has influenced my natural lifestyle
which i could not be
more thankful for.

the two of us
standing in a parking lot
or as you would call it,
a car park.
standing under the stars and the moon
together we confess our feelings
hugging for warmth and companion
who knew
i would be
falling
in love
in a car park

the perfect pace
is fast enough to grow
but slow enough to reflect
on the growing i didn’t
know i needed.
looking back
on the times i once
thought
didn’t affect me,
now i know,
that the perfect place
allows me to move
at the pace i needed;
push me further,
and reel me in
when i get too ahead
of myself.

permanently adding to my body
illustrations that bring me joy
an outward expression of
the beauty i see in the world

to the person that stays by my side
who knows me inside and out
witnessed me at my lowest
and offered me a helping hand
in order to stand back up
you inspire me
thank you
for finding me

times are changing
the sun will be replaced
by the moon
and the yellow light will
fade to darkness
but the cycles will continue
as will the changes
we will always be able
to count on the setting and rising sun
and the comfort of the moon
no matter where we are

you say that our communication doesn't feel intimate
the only other option
is one that involves no communication
which would feel worse than ending it all together
and that's where we stood
on opposite ends of a cliff
waiting for the other to say the words
that will set us free
it doesn't matter which one of us said the words
we both knew what was happening
and although i am free
i still feel shackled to your love
it is the only love i have ever known
and for the better part of a year i never thought of being with anyone else
so what do i do now
