surfing gravity waves,
all the way
to the edge of Time..

crossing the oceans of the Universe
in my mind
Jen Jan 2020
She took off through the forest
Held on to the tail of a falling star-
If you listen closely,
You can still hear her echo  
From the bottom
Of the wishing well

She held on to this star for some time,
It led her down a path divine
What she did see on this journey
Could not be defined,
Every shape and color bending
With time, collapsed in space
Moving fast as light

Heavenly bodies soon turned
To dust,
There was the well
Once she reached the end

She simply looked in and said,
"I wish to be enough."
This poem can have multiple meanings depending on the perspective of the reader.  When writing it, I was thinking about how I've always wanted to be good enough in myself for someone...just my soul in its simplest form, accepted & understood without having to explain...lost in this dream.

I’m going to watch you walk away from me one day
And the world will flatten, finally.
And I think I’ll let the ocean
Take me that day...
And I think I’ll let you be the end of me.
I’ve been thinking about drowning again.
But I’ve found home in the nape of your neck.
I’m still scared.

You are my home,
Deep in my heart
Anywhere we are
Is where
I want to stay

I'm more fragile
Than ever,
Never have felt
This way
Hard to explain

Breathing air
Into these lungs
Makes me think
Of how you
Make my life
Complete
Always want
You to be happy

Waking up
In the night
This thought
Crosses my mind
You are my life
Can't think about
Living it without
You

You are my home
Took a little break from HP...rolling in the deep, was pulled out from underneath introspect

You want a piece of this darkness,
It's yours,
You want to be set free,
To let it be,
Centrifuge, holding force
Strength come back,
Wrap around,
Unexplained universes
Fall into the arms of time,
Take hold,
Break through,
Light specks above the cold
Leave behind their traces,
Golden sky explodes,
You want a piece of this shine,
Let it glow
Not on here as much anymore...taking some time to heal my heart and find myself lately, hoping to find some new creativity soon.
