The only way I know how to be vulnerable & naked with my thoughts
When I am being honest with myself & with you
I'm giving you a piece of me
You just don't know it
Some of these poems are my secrets
Others just distant memories
My real life experiences
My bliss
My serendipity
My calamity
My feelings
My emotions
My mind
My heart
I am giving you a vulnerable me
And a vulnerable you
So when you connect with my words & thoughts
You are vulnerable too
And knowing that you & I can share this vulnerability
Gives me peace because I'm reminded that we're human

What do I even say ?
I'm not good with words.
They get all mixed and confused.
Do I say hi, hey, or hello?
Should I talk you first.. but what do I say ?
What do I say is the key word ?
Hopefully you say something first.
Or maybe you don't know what to say.
I wonder who's going to say something first.

Can this be love or is it just lust ?
Either way they both feel so good to me.
You look like heaven but taste like sweet sin Delilah.
Oh God forgive me.. !
Forgive me for I keep repeating the same sin !
Give me the strength of Samson to walk away.
Because Delilah is starting to charm me with her ways.
Oh but you distract me with that smile.
While you poison me with that gold vile.
Oh give me the strentgh of Samson to walk away.
Because Delilah is starting to charm me with her ways.

I'm feeling 22.
And yes it's a pretty catchy lyric Taylor Swift.
But I am really feeling 22.
And I am 22.
22 years of living.
Breathing.
Heart beating.
Pure bliss.
Not all 22 years were bliss but for the most part.
I've loved and lost.
Been scarred but also healed.
You learn a lot living 22 years .
Life is calamity & serendipity .
It doesn't make sense.
But that is the ugly truth in a beautiful way.
Every day is calamity in itself but we have to find our serendipity that day.
Life is love .
Life is laughter .
Life is hard times .
Life is pain .
Life is bliss.
And I hope that life gives me many more years to experience so much more.
Im feeling 22.
Are you ?

I was just thinking..
how can you talk to one person everyday
and then completely ignore that person the next day ?
Crazy Reality.
All of a sudden it's routine.
Part of your life.
And then it stops.
The phone calls.
The texts.
The snapchats & etc.
Everything just stops.
All of a sudden you need a new routine.
Something.
Anything.
Then one day you forget that person..
and their phone calls,
and their texts,
and their snapchats & etc.
And suddenly you could care less.
Why did it matter at first ?
Why doesn't it matter now ?
Who Cares ?!
Now you're living again.
That's all that matters.
Carpe Diem !
Seize the Day !

Is that why you can't say a word to me ?
In this very moment
Say something
Tongue tied ?
Your words don't make sense now
That is all they are
Words
Empty words
No meaning
Letters put together
I hope your words find meaning one day
One day soon
Maybe one day they'll be as vibrant as your heart
Or as colorful as the Northern Lights
One day or maybe someday soon
So choose your words wisely

As we lay in the grass he shows me his night sky
Let's look for Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto
even though we know it's not considered a planet anymore
who cares
More or less let's not forget about Mars
and show me the night stars
Lets go to Alaska
and use the telescopes in NASA
Show me the galaxy
in its pure form of ecstasy
Show me your favorite constellation
and point me in its direction
And just between us let's let gravity
bestow beautiful calamity
between you & I
Show me the universe
in which we'll immerse
With the sweet scent of flowers lingering around
there's bound to be a meteor shower sneaking around
Let's go to the planetarium
and enjoy all the pandemonium
We're bound to see a shooting star
that isn't even that far
And with the tips of your lips
make a wish
as I give you a sweet tender kiss

From across the room he spotted her
For a brief second there was uncomfortable eye contact
Both from him & her
Somehow it turned to flustered pink cheeks
And puppet strings pulling her lips
Into this mischievous smile
He played scenes in his head
Planning what he would say
Unfortunately he did not seize the day
And she walked away

You've seen all my curves.
And yes I mean more than my smile.
You've seen every curve of my body.
Where it gets narrow.
And where it widens out.
You know where every crevice is.
And you've felt and kissed my sweet tender skin.
You kindly kissed my mind.
We'll someone came to mind.
Who ?
They say kiss her mind and her body will follow.

I said a prayer last night
I prayed for an angel
Her dress was an ivory cream
There she was
Across the room
Shining bright like the moon
I started to swoon over her
And told her to meet me at noon
She came
I opened my mouth and sounded like a baboon
But I mustered out theses three simple words
I love you
Oh God
I was so flustered
It was only a dream
And I wanted to scream
