It isn't difficult to befriend
Especially in this virtual/real world
A warm smile
A simple "hi"
A "like" in the social network
A "share" of a posting..

Just a spoon of warmth
A pinch of freshness
A drop of love
A bit of seasoning
Is all that  needed for a
Perfect recipe of friendship..

A show of solidarity
A mark of respect
A word of compassion
That is more than enough

If we cant even do that much
Then what is life for??

A precious gem
Within something
So fragile.
A ruby
In the folds
Of a rose.
Thorns are an ugly
Necessity,
Protection from
Lovers and foes.

There will always be
Something to admire
In the poetic gracefulness
Of horizontal desire
With love, kelsey

beth fwoah dream
sea
the sea, rushing,
its blue inks dissolving
in pools.

a cloud whispers
fragments of a dark song
to the sky.

the waves crashing,
crashing, crashing….

She loved storms
Power whirling around her
The sheer force of nature's rage
Every atom in the air charged with tension
Wild
Untamed
Full of reckless, unpredictable life
Thunder that made it sound as if the heavens were to splinter apart above her
Lightning that cracks the charred and blackened sky
Sunlight struggling to get through
But there will be no sunlight in this storm
Rain lashes down
Torrential
Unforgiving
The brutal power raging all around her
As if it were a living being
Uncontrollable
Fierce
She loved the power it gave her.
Out there in the fury of nature
Daring the world to go ahead;
Do your worst;
Bring it on.

No thing had a shadow
For we are all in one great shadow,
Are we not?

She loved storms because they reminded her that sometimes

*Even the sky breaks
Sorry this is so long. It kind of got away from me.
