I remember,
Being 10,
And scared...

Do You?

I was scared of the move.
Our car puncturing borders
And my mind racing even faster.

Out of the most standard questions,
I chose two.

Who?

And How?

I assure you,
The answers where beautiful.

Now im 20 and,
And, im doing it again.

Im scared. Im thinking.
And Im in motion.

I have no new questions

But soon Ill have new answers.

And maybe new beauty.

Gidgette
Standing, in the gathering darkness
in the fading light of the bleeding sun,
Hooded and cloaked,
amongst the dying trees
Golden cursed tears of scattered forever,
Falling from white eyes,
ringed in black
Decisions to stay held
aloft,
A leaf blown through out time on the breeze of
Eternity
Or,
To wake a heart, cursed with forever
Knowing
That the bearer of such a cursed heart
Will fade, as the colour of a rose lain upon an immortal grave
Dying trees can't speak
and reflections held in mortal tears
Evaporate~A
A lifetime fighting,
A lifetime of perspective,
A lifetime of giving love-
Losing love-
Holding onto the thought of what if
And why not
As if any of it could alter reality
As if rolling the dice one last time
Would make the difference

My knees are weak-
My shoulders bent-
Heavy with weight

The ground on which I kneel-
Pieced together with stone-
From this shape to that shape-
Cold stone on which my skins lies

The same skin that I try to hide-
Like the thoughts in my mind
The twitch of fingers that I use to trace-
A timeline-
A lifetime-
Narrowing-

In conclusion to the tones of tomorrow
In strength I pray-
To rest lightly-
Together with the thoughts that lit my way

Ma Cherie
Double knee Carhartt pants
in rusty brown,
a cotton cornflower blue
long sleeve
shirt.

Stains from cooking about my tummy,
cuffs of my pants I'm soaked in mud n dirt.

Everyone already had some wine
an they are feelin' fine,
but I'm not in the mood to flirt.

My hair up in a messy bun,
a colorful scarf around my neck,
you say I still glow
I'm looking sweet,
I throw up my arms
an I say what the heck?

I look like crap I'm smelly too,
this ***** vest? I love it true,

Your cheeks are cherry red
your eyes they sparkle too,

You say- it's just what makes you -
you,
an you are so very BEAUTIFUL tonight.

Just thoughts
These eyes can hear the waves
These ears can see this reflection
I hope you dream sweet dreams
The moments where we let in life
Every breath is the last ?
Inside is a life breaking
