I am a master of goodbyes
Black and whites
Nobody is at fault
Alone
I draw my lines
Define my boundaries
Is this better?
Sober
I can feel it all now
It hurts and crashes into my soul
Empty
I am hollow
The past echoes inside me
A walking heartbreak

Digging deep
Pulling me out of myself
Chipping away the layers
I've been lost and found
Round and round I went
Until in the light of the sinking sun
I saw you glow and felt alive
I'm awake now
I've missed you all along
You are the answer to many wishes upon candles and stars
Patiently I've mastered the fear of saying yes
After wandering and wasting in this world solo
There I suddenly was
At home in your gaze
The victory dance kind of kiss
Swimmingly I floated in the door
Slept soundly with thoughts of you
Lips vibrating
Soul joyous

Flowing in my veins
Your electric smile
Awakens my soul

Hello old soul
The golden light hurts your weary eyes
Familiar but longtime unseen
Leaving that cave of sadness
You recite your fables and
Storybooks of broken hearts
Formulaic and adorned with tattered pages
And nobody wants to hear them anymore
Go on brave wonder
Rewrite your story
Create new glory
Are you dizzy yet?
Circling back around to the start
Press play instead of restart
Use the extra life that you have

“Who am I?”
I always ask myself.
And whenever I do
Countless of flashbacks races before my eyes
Telling me that I am this and I am that
Making me feel uncomfortable on my own skin
Confusing me
“Who are you?”
I ask again
But I don’t really know
"Who are you?"
For the third time I ask myself
And I remember how I used to be
Acting differently between people I meet
And for the last time
“Who are you?” I ask
Still, flashbacks
The memories of me being innocent
Memories of me being a monster
And I ask myself again
"Who am I?"

Wings a flitter
Iridescent feathers a glitter
Hovering briefly at a flower top
Usually not long enough to truly stop
This precious one of avian design
I see delicately perched upon a twisted vine
The sun glinting off the ruby throat
Making it easy for on this one to dote
Although this perch may be brief
It does bear out my belief
That the light of her essence
Has me blessed in her presence
Medicine, absent of strife
Filled with the nectar of life
Life that bears the scars of complexity
Yet revels in the miracle of synchronicity
Placed on my path with divine intention
I would be remiss to discount this intervention
And yet fail to mention...
A renewal of mon couer and the magic of living
For this is the medicine that hummingbird is giving
And for me it is so easy to see
She is Nenookaasi

I'm like a bird, I want to fly away.
Wrapped in a billowing yellow silk scarf
which shines gold in the light of day.
Perched on a tree branch, face the horizon.
Hope and sunlight glimmer reflected in
each determined eye which widens.
Ruffled feathers are my warm, windswept hair.
I will leap into the sky, stretching high
To glide through the air if I dare.
Music from Cape Town, a bird's song my ears
spread their wings and feel the song's lift beneath
and sing sweet as the horizon nears.
I am a bird and as I fly away
wrapped in my billowing yellow silk scarf
I shine gold in the light of day.

first
i let myself weep
then slowly
my heart bleed words
dropping into these tattered pages
eventually
forming lines
and
making rhyming rhythms

it lies in wait
in the sighs after a statement
in the pause between words
hanging in the air
it looms overhead
thickening with each passing second
coating the lungs with heavy silence
yea, the silence
'tis wear dreams go to die
for when exposed to another
it's the silence
that is coagulated disillusionment
and it is in that place
that the silver in the clouds
begins to tarnish
