She is beautiful
Like a tulip in a garden
If you water her
She will grow from bud to blossom

If you nurture her
She will let out a scent
That is both characteristic of her
And distinctly sweet

If you pluck it
Only to put her in a vase
She will still make you feel special
As she bleeds in the water
I had a friend who used to cut himself out of guilt. But, what it does is enhance the cycle of feeling guilty. You cut out of guilt, but feel guilty that you cut because you shouldn't like it. But, it feels "so good." I understand why people feel so bad, but cutting is never the answer. Neither is heartbreak an excuse for it.

The last line refers to something similar that happens.

Her star is her spirit
Her heart is my light
Weather, far, or near it
Illuminates my night

I choose detachment;
Excitement brings more distress,
It never brings peace.
Excitement is agitation and agitation leads to desperation which leads to bad outcomes.
Excitement is born from expectations and expectations assure disappointment.

It smells like
French toast
During the Renaissance

The taste of which
Leaves me starving
For perspective and humanity

It's Funny
That how much we were curious to know each other, just to become strangers at the end.
Hope it'll make everyone laugh
and it does

It is amazing how
Distance can separate two people
In heart and soul, only to heal them

Love will come into your life
As sure as the stars in the night sky
Just don't become crestfallen
When you lose sight of them at dawn
A tomorrow of promise is better than a commitment
At times

If I gave you my soul,
would you read each page?
Scribble notes of interest
and know me.
Would you take the time,
to help tape the seams?
Would you mend,
the fragility of my soul?
It tears and rips,
easily, emotionally.

I let you get
so close to me
⏵so close⏴   and yet     ⏴so far⏵

apart

I brought you here
to guard the door
so no one else
could touch my


⏴    heart    ⏵

Dark cloud gown covered moon
                    Searching for your surface

Led by the scattered streaks of light
                    I see when the wind lets your skirt drift

The majesty
                    Beauty with a purpose

The silent stoic sun king
                    Even bows his head in your service
                    Cracked, barren and imperfect

Yet you bear your face
                    Reflected on every surface

The ever-watchful unveiled bride
Our clear open eyes in the darkness of an eternal sky
