The sea can be calm, water gentle and warm, but one wave too big, the undertow will pull. Tumbling, struggling, I am pulled deeper. Another wave comes in, released, I am carried closer shore. Each tow pulls stronger, each wave taller, longer. In between the movements, the water holds my body, the sun kisses my skin. I'd like to stay there, the undertow pulls me in. The cycle continues pull push pause. Eventually the tow will claim me, for now, I'll take in the peace.

I'm going to give you the world The one I see I'll give my perspective My fears and anxiety The things I dread most Then remind you of the beauty The calm of the water and stars What a real smile can be Let you into my head Give you my world to see Why in spite of my fears Things work out for me

A million moments told me We are forever Through the distance, Aaand the people A kiss, A song, Dances in kitchens, On decks In yards Near lakes Under stars My anchor, above all, A fireball Followed by squealing, Giggling Clinging to one another Every reconnect, The same shower We didn't know it, But we were under the same sky Fireballs above, You next to me One moment, Eternalized in my memory

I've come to a realization. I dont want the impossible silence. What is truly crave Is the sound of water Rushing around me Swallowing me Into its darkness. The pressure of the depth Slowly building As I allow myself To sink. I want To let go Of all my emotions. Forget The fears And feel At peace.

Impossible peace
wide eyes empty cold crazed I'm scared cowering nearly crying small Quick movements sudden actions no thought no control fear stricken frozen uncertain forced smile neither of us are okay neither of us can help All we can do Is get past this moment

I'm just another poet, writing line by line. I don't make much difference, I don't put in the time. I'm just another speck in the vastness that is space. and o, how I long for a lovers embrace

Just another
Rose tinted glasses bring the world into focus Goals are clearer, Colours brighter The clarity I needed was found with you Poetic blocks melted to crystal clear pools in the light of your love

Clarity
I went camping alone Supposed to be pleasant Reconnect to myself Disconnect from the present I went camping alone Rocks in my back, Drinks in my bag How long til I crack? I went camping alone I missed your face It'd been a few years I craved your embrace I went camping alone It felt so wrong Stars high above Memories strong I went camping alone Drinks in hands Begging the stars For another chance I went camping alone You didn't know Stars shot above I didn't let go

A hole forms as a gap in my chest, It comes apart when I'm alone. No. It doesn't come apart, It's uncovered. I use people like patches to cover up my scars, and yet, here I am. Alone again. The hole in my chest painfully grows.

Alone
A painful unsilence Every whisper sounds a cannon Screams and shouts Only heard from within Soft cotton Turns to velcro on my skin The floodlight from the sky Washed colour off my face And I still wonder Why my heart begins to race
