the room was cold
and there were
gray flowers
of dampness blooming
all over the walls
He took off
his shoes and
the shoes were the
warmest things in
the room so the kitten
climbed into one of them
He sat on the
mattress in the corner
and petted the cat
in the shoe
He smiled and said
to the kitten, "At least
I have no debts."
Even God agreed
with him. He winked through
the hole in the
ceiling

I want to thank you
faceless, nameless reader
for your kindness of sparing a second
reading an awkward soul's mundane poems.
Like screaming into a void with echoes.

you don't know me
but you lift the burden of my stress
so thank you
I hope warmth and kindness find you always
for a simple act of sparing a second to read my poem.
Thank you for reading, for helping me feel less lonely, for a platform where i can scream freely.

You're not alone
In your pain
All your understanding
Has been ordained

Open your eyes
Beyond what you see
Forget what you think you know
And just try to breathe

Woven into the fabric of consciousness
Are the assumptions of reality
And the deception of imagination
But mostly a need to survive
Put down the knives
And walk outside

I feel for you...

Lately life
feels like a lot
of walking
Sometimes I know
where I’m going
Sometimes I don’t
And sometimes
it just doesn’t matter ,

Sometimes the wonder
is in wandering
But every turn lead to a path
I had not known that I was meant to walk
Every path takes me to a better season
Every path leads me to a different lesson
every lesson learned leads to a better life
and a better life doesn’t happen by taking the
same path , the known path
So yes like nature I change my
path often , I challenge myself, I move
differently intentionally
Yes I dabble in danger, I take risks
Sometimes I break open the sky
just to unearth what’s underneath all the layers
Yes indeed, this courage
My courage , this realm, the things beyond
God...
The road less traveled is Devine

A candlelit rage
Dances in Shadow and Light
Flickering our flame.
