each day

a colorful
array

laid out

one after
the other

with
scientific
names

I can’t
remember

each day

a colorful
array

I swallow

one after
the other

if I remember

Frustration

Frustration

Makes you say something you don't want to,

To the people you love the most

You just blurt it out
And later hate yourself ...

Everyone

Everyone

Everyone needs to know
That they are loved
And that they belong
To some small space
On Earth

Everyone needs to feel
Like they’re life purpose
Fits in
To a larger
Plan

Everyone moves forward
On their life
Path
Knowing
And feeling
And living
Like they
For just a moment
Are as important
As the next

Everyone is part of a larger plan
Of existence
And
None of us
Knows
That
Plan

thank you.

I have never thanked you,
for the conversations.

I have never thanked you,
for the smile.

I have never thanked you,
for asking me how i'm really doing.

I have never thanked you,
for staying alive.

Thank you,
thank you.

what does it feel like

Jul 2020 C

erin

what does it feel like

what does it feel like to be held
not by another body
not by a set of limbs, a chest, a chin
but
by another soul

what does it feel like
to see truth in another pair of eyes
instead of hidden intentions
instead of absence

what does it feel like
to hear a familiar heartbeat
resounding next to your own
reaching through skin
through bone
two rhythms
indistinguishable

what does it feel like
to write poems about
a love that exists

Man in The Mirror

I’m angry
With the man in the mirror

But at least now
It’s only shattered glass.

My fate

My fate

If my fate is to love you
From a distance
Then I'll burn for you
Like a star in your night sky
Bright, steady, reliable
Unwavering
Until the end of time.
