My home hides quietly under the cool shade of banana trees,
and I glide gracefully through the old creaking corridors, my bare feet sliding across squeaky wooden floors,
while sunbeams and dark shadows display their dances across dreamy purple walls,
spaces tall and wide
but always overflowing
with echoes of the most uplifting laughter,
filled to the ceiling with whispers of the most sacred and closely kept secrets.
Sometimes an ancient iron gate swings back and forth, a soft sound signaling spontaneous visits from smiling friends.

My eyes shined like diamonds,
and my hair was longer and stronger than rope.
“One day,” I would say,
“I’m gonna grow it out down to my knees.”
Lifetimes like mine have given me knowledge that my skin is solid
and my soul is tough,
but I want to FEEL it.

you snapped a photo
that forever sits on your bedside,
we kissed in front of a church,
and I floated away.
Where did I go?

I want to continually reward myself
with new experiences,
wake up each morning to sounds
of birds chirping at dawn,
and rise to liberate my own inner warrior.

As a pandemic spreads across the globe,
we realize more and more
about ourselves
which we once did not know.
Extroverts transform into introverts,
introverts into extroverts,
finally, a revolution for the mind,
an extraordinary, cosmic show
of divine and unprecedented kindness.
Externally and internally
we will continue to grow.

His smirk erupts into a robust guffaw.
I hear a laugh that could save the world,
a catalyst for an astounding explosion within me.
My heart gushes with a kind of pleasure
that few have ever known.
My cheeks, feeling as if they’ve caught fire,
turn rosy and inflate to their fullest.
As my smile extends from ear to ear,
my entire body radiates endless warmth,
emanating what can only be described
as the purest love,
unconditional and eternal,
throughout the Universe and spreading across all space and time.

Distant train horns roar
through ripe summer air,
shaking some last scattered pieces of a society disintegrating,
silent reminders of spaces once shared.
Amidst Mother Nature’s reckless reclamations
two tired souls remain.
They both slowly soften and unite,
hearts beating wildly in each other’s hands
held tight,
reverberating raw emotion across all realms,
pulsating with a palpable sense
of pure unbounded joy
felt deeper than the marrow of our bones.

A cat’s purr provokes a precious symbiosis
as cherished old bones rattle
haunches wrapped in warm white velvet
press gently against
my half-broken hummingbird heart
soothing two souls at once

We with warped minds
frolicked under those lights,
hanging loyally
like cold, sparkling jewels
in the humid night.
"These nights are sacred,"
I would say,
and the ripe summer air
would roar through every vein
in our
young
soft
bodies.

My father was born a man of the earth,
I refuse to wear a bra,
and I shake off like a dog after every shower.
So why is it that I roam this sacred beach
cursing at the sticky layers of sand,
searching for a single slab of concrete,
a place to call home?
