butterflies caged by ribs,
a life begging to be lived
red heart beats in time
with the thoughts of my mind
but thoughts can fit through cracks
like the butterflies that are trapped
from mind to lips that part
but not passing through my heart
lips set the butterflies free
along with the feelings inside of me
yet I still feel lost
when I collide with my thoughts
my head is desensitized
perhaps my thoughts are the butterflies
their wings coated with beauty
but they can still come out rudely
although my thoughts are broke
when the words reach my throat
i long to fly too
like the butterflies that broke through
i won't hold my tongue anymore
butterflies free to explore
these thoughts begging to exist
a life begging to be lived

blue and black hands that are reaching for untouched skin
heavy lungs black with smoke breathe the air that's thin
you're seeking shelter in a home where you've never been

With bright eyes I gaze into the midnight sky,
consumed by cosmic thoughts and solidarity with lost cosmonauts.
Wandering yet not lost, vicariously relating
to explorers, and the skies they crossed
While the stars above and the ocean fall in love, I feel the sea breeze through my hair and listen to the hymn of the ocean prayer
The sun rises over the ocean and its yellow glaze hypnotizes. I find myself in a forest of towering trees singing the song of the bees.
As if through thin-air, sunbeams illuminate through the foliage that the trees wear. The warming sensation that frees sets me at ease.

awestruck
eyes sparkle towards
the silver sky and I see glimpses of
you in the craters of la lune
each night
I sing for you
in hopes la lune can
hear my harmonious tune

night blur together
leather seats makeup stained
traces of you linger on my skin
black and indigo dazed
people wondering where i've been
smoking with a new chain
freedom forever

dealt a bad hand of cards and cursed with an unlucky fortunate,
i stirred the cauldron until it boiled over
voodoo vibes ran through my veins
and you were my witch doctor
black magic in the streets and traces of you lurking in my sheets
no spell can give me absolution from the curse you cast upon me

rainless morning, awoken by comforting delicate taps on my window
velvet curtains lifted and fragile opalescent feathers revealed
the hummingbird sings songs for you
and my heart flutters in time with the tune

;
green
eyes gazed
outstretched tan arms
invited me into a warm embrace
you were like a walk through the woods
and i thought i knew all the paths
then i took a wrong turn
right into poison

i ran
your betrayal fueled my hatred
and caused me to run even faster
until the crash
into a glass wall
and you were on the other side
that's when you started
the fire
and you watched
me burn

feet travel only as far as the mind will lead them
each step full of spirit and strife
golden rays of sun illuminate me as i walk
the natural world is only seen by those who want to see it
the trees spoke words of encouragement
roots reminded me that i am a creature bound to mother earth
leaves showed me how we must make sacrifices for others to live
branches offer support and strength
eastern travels lead to immeasurable mountains
nordic nights of cold blue and purple
western landscapes painted with watercolors
sanguine sunsets in the south
my voyage is infinite
earthly attachments do not bound me anymore
