Belizean Bring me flowers
The fire fills the wood It's orange embers glowing- summer smells so good.

A Haiku- Fire
Somehere in between black and white Somewhere in the lows- In between the light. I asked you, "where are you going?" "To make my life." you say. I think that life is happening I tell you. But I know better, I don't fight, I don't cry. I let you go about your way. A free spirit is never yours- Was never intended to be. Their eyes are as big as Earth. Their curiosity so wild, and free. Amid all of the confusion, I find peace in growth. I've let this butterfly free I've Learned to let go

Deplete me down to nothing- bewitched beneath the moon, stars crystallize under suns. & despite bare, aching body, i'll run; "This isn't all of us"

Hello baby Come here Let me rid you of your distress Lately your jade eyes appear Defeated Bewildered Crazed Stressed Come, let my touch shoot comfort through your veins. Lay your head next to mine Do you see what I see? The stars, they dance, they waltz, they twinkle. The most beautiful of sights for you. Smile baby Lay your head on my heart Let my embrace cover you whole, It's protection radiating the warmest of love Allow my love to chase away those demons troubling your mind. Let my fingers play in your hair Let my hands trace the pain, Then crumble it in my fists. Let me untangle you from this chain That cuts through your wrists. And free you of this sadness that your heart should not contain. That in your perfect world should not exist. Come baby, don't be afraid. I am confident in my solution In the joy that i can bring Let me make sense of your confusion Let me fix that broken wing.

Let me
I like words with meanings Flowers with fragrances Nights with stars Gems with imperfections And you with smiles :) I like colors with life Teas with sweetness Spring with rain Long hugs and late mornings with you :) I like the rhythm in your laugh And the deep blue of your eyes The lean of your body And the veins in your hands Buy mostly I like the way that you look at me Those eyes when they shine so bright and twinkle In your arms is my place to be You make life so peacefully simple :)

You
I'm usually one to count my steps To shy away & question My skepticism keeps me safe I suppose I rely on my intuition, & my discretion But then you come You sweep me off of my feet You look at me with these soft sweet eyes And my heart skips beats and it trips and it summersaults And i look into your pretty, pretty eyes and I fall each time I swear I do So I put my guard down I allow vulnerability to become me I share with you things about me Things I hesitate to share And this vulnerability grows It creates a nagging monster of fear that drowns me with negative thoughts And I fight it but it wins I'm left defeated, tired, and distraught This gap grows between us And I feel you so distant as if you're a stranger, a bystander on the street That travels past me just like the short breath of an instant Who's rhythmic steps don't match my wandering feet It breaks me into a million minuscule little glass pieces. Because I feared that I would fall and break. I'm just a girl with glass bones and paper skin. You weren't there to catch me. You aren't here to ease this ache.

I was in my dream last night... The girl in my dream was a self image that my self conscious created. She had long thick curly hair running down her back like a wild river, and There were these thin wisps of black curls that rested on her forehead and would not budge no matter how many times she swept them aside The ensemble she wore was rich in color I admired the way the colors complemented each other incredibly lively and elegant She wore an azure tank with an emerald silk scarf A Celeste cascaded long skirt embellished with tiny vibrant glass beads that shimmered ever so brightly She was bare foot but i couldn't help but notice every step she took On her ankles were anklets that dangled the prettiest of gems She walked towards me Her beautiful clothing dancing against her body She sat next to me on the curb and said "You look sad, what is the matter? i can see the circles under your eyes the insufficiency of laughter Your heart and your mind are intertwined You convince your mind to keep you in a dark place then your heart crumbles leaving your care-fee spirit behind. These are simply realities you must face you know, things fall apart so better things can come together it might break your heart but believe that hurtful moments don't last forever Sometimes in-explainable things happen sometimes the going gets tough but you cant allow it to break your spirit for too long The sun will rise again, sure enough." Then, just as she gracefully came, she gracefully left I Awoke. She left me with my sadness for me to decide.

My life is in shambles So time where are you? I'm waiting upon your arrival with flowers Neck deep in anticipation They say "Time kills all pain" "Time cures the deepest of wounds" So I wait. I tally the Nanoseconds, the minutes, the days. Submerged beneath a huge mass of sentiments I can't reach the surface Time I need you.
