I am like a salt,
I preserve and do not rot those around me
Within
I bless them with a friendship that which they feel like they win
I go higher above the drop and discard
I stay, I pray, I work hard
For the heart and spirit and feeling within
To fight for a person, so I feel I win

#friendship #fight

So That's How It Is

I leave the spaces between us
As a moment of surrender
So that you can feel free
As I wait and ponder
When you will miss me
Time stretches a little longer
Which just makes me think
I’m never there cause you want her

So that’s how it is
We are going back in our ways
Of how we once were
Before those good old days

It’s what you wanted
What I wanted to prevent
To move past what had happened
As if it was unprecedented

Mermaid Best Friend

You’re loved by a woman
who has secrets to offer
With a friendship so intensive
It's like treasure underwater

The deeper you search
The sooner you panic
To gain the air, you lurch
So you don't become stagnant

Keep swimming my friend
My hand is beside you
Go grasp it and then
Your journey will define you

But for you to look and see inside
You'll need to gain the key I hide

So take a breath...and make a dive

Strange

When you're moving faster than you said you should, then you’re recreating your own show

If the time comes when you choose between too quick or too slow
What is the overall goal?

I want what I know could be what someone else needs
I hate to tease when I’m the one bringing them to their knees

It’s strange to feel want and need when there is a small line in-between
For those you get involved, it’s your fault if they bleed...

Live in the moment is my course of mind
My intentions are only to care and preserve
Those who I find precious, those who I choose to hold

What we have can mold into something greater if we stick to...
The agreement of feelings neither of us agreed to...

I get the butterflies, the dream is sweet
But for it all to work out, then what we feel must be complete,
The duet will keep us on our feet
The friendship will last through this heat

Rest

Sin is lost
The lost are found

By his grace
Where love abounds

The flesh is weak
The heart is sore

Here I wait
To hear the roar

My Lord my God
My solid stone

Can you take
What has been thrown?

You are the One, you are my own
You hear my heart
Beat through the groan

Time

Life's greatest heartache
Is not what you expected

It's not the shame of loving one
Who didn't quite get it

It’s there, it's not,
it's in the in between
But what you got and what you want
Are completely different things

I want to not..I want to grow
I want I want I want

To be the person who never falls
When pushed off the top

It's okay now
Don't be angry
Let what's been done be done

We’ve made amends
We can still be friends

Within the ticking clock

My first poem I wrote! Not my best but hopefully if you follow along you can see how much I've grown as I share my art with you all. Thanks for reading
