We survive
In the war
Of our mind.

The grand prize
love seen through
an adopter's eyes
are precious child
diamond's guise

I liked it when you let me stick my cold hand
inside the warmth of your coat.

It was nearly 2 am but I felt as alive
as I do when the halo-bearing sun
illuminates the snow-covered streets at noon,

and I felt like the
white crystals falling from the purple sky were candy
drifting slowly past the full moon...
And I wished I could stick my tongue out to savor the flavor.

but I bit my lip and the pain reminded me:
as soon as the sweetness comes it dissolves.

I can't eat candy and not expect a cavity.

I think the reason
I search so hard for love
Is because I know I will never
Find some inside of me

It’s like walking on air
Floating on sunshine

Sniffing rainbows
Dancing with unicorns

Twirling under sunsets
Always and forever my love

Tenderness is your weeping, Love is in the wetness of your cheek, I have heard you begging yourself for the forgoing of your defenses. If love is the path you reach for, your legs only need walk it. My dear, abandon hardness. Become the light love is drawn to.

the mood for cancer season this year....
The steady light
that continues to keep
long after the flame
has settled to sleep

pressed up against your face
sun streaming in through the curtains
light caressing your cheeks
my arm hurts in this position
but i'll keep it still
if it means getting to be next to you
all we can
hope for...
wish for...
is to end every
conversation
worthy of a peaceful death
